What Causes the BMW 5 Series to Have an Overly Rich Air-Fuel Mixture?

BMW 5 Series may have an overly rich air-fuel mixture due to oxygen sensor failure, intake system blockage, or fuel injection system malfunction. Oxygen Sensor Failure: The oxygen sensor adjusts the vehicle's fuel injection amount in real-time. If the oxygen sensor fails, the vehicle cannot autonomously regulate the fuel injection quantity, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture. Intake System Blockage: Check if the air filter is clogged with dust or other foreign objects, and inspect the intake pipe for blockages such as leaves. If both the air filter and intake pipe are obstructed, it can also result in an overly rich air-fuel mixture. Fuel Injection System Malfunction: The fuel injection system controls the amount of fuel injected. If the fuel system malfunctions, the fuel injection quantity is likely to increase, and the fuel atomization effect will be poor.

Why was the Volkswagen Phaeton discontinued?

Introduction to the reasons for the discontinuation of the Volkswagen Phaeton: 1. Extremely low production volume: The Phaeton not only had extremely low production but also very poor sales, resulting in huge losses for Volkswagen. Due to Piech's overly stringent technical requirements, the Phaeton's production was extremely low, with a daily output of only about 8 units. Its annual sales were less than 1/10th of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and from production to discontinuation, its sales never met the targets, while manufacturing costs remained high. 2. Slow product updates: The Phaeton had slow product updates, high prices, and declining product competitiveness year by year. Apart from poor market performance, the Phaeton only underwent two minor facelifts during its 14-year product cycle, lagging two generations behind its competitors, with clearly insufficient product strength. At the same time, high costs ultimately led to the Phaeton's high market price. 3. Impact of the emissions scandal: Volkswagen faced huge fines due to the "emissions scandal," leading to the cancellation of low-profit projects. Additionally, in 2015, Piech left Volkswagen, and the Phaeton lost its last protector, making its discontinuation inevitable.

What is the reason for the momentary red display on the Leiling screen?

When there is a red lock flashing on the dashboard, it is actually because the anti-theft indicator light is flashing, indicating that the vehicle's anti-theft system is activated and in working condition. The following is a detailed introduction to the Leiling: 1. Anti-theft system: After the owner presses the lock button on the smart key, the car's anti-theft system will activate, and this anti-theft indicator light will flash. 2. Locking the car: Every car has an anti-theft system indicator light. After locking the car, this indicator light will start flashing. If the light keeps flashing, it means the car's anti-theft system is functioning normally. 3. Other considerations: If there is a problem with the car's anti-theft system or if a car door is not properly closed, this anti-theft system indicator light will not flash. After locking the car, you can check whether the anti-theft system indicator light on your car flashes.

What are the Volkswagen oil certification standards?

Volkswagen oil certification standards for gasoline engines mainly include VW502.00, VW503.00, and VW504.00. The more common ones are the regular maintenance standard VW502.00 and the long-life maintenance standard VW504.00 (the long-life maintenance standard VW50300 has been discontinued and upgraded to VW50400). Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the "blood" of a car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its service life. 2. Choosing engine oil: When selecting engine oil, it's not about choosing the most expensive one, but rather selecting the most suitable oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and your usual driving habits. Engine oil can be categorized by winter use and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to choose an oil with a better low-temperature viscosity grade.

Does the Lynk & Co 03 have auto start-stop?

Lynk & Co 03 is not equipped with the auto start-stop function. Here is the specific introduction of Lynk & Co: 1. Advantages: Many people think this is a redundant configuration, but it is undeniable that auto start-stop can effectively avoid the vibration of the three-cylinder engine at idle. 2. Introduction: The engine auto start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving and automatically restarts the engine when it needs to move forward again. 3. Others: The Lynk & Co 03 has engine start-stop technology. When the Lynk & Co 03 owner stops at a red light or encounters a traffic jam, the Lynk & Co 03 engine will automatically shut off, which can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve the fuel economy of the Lynk & Co 03.

Can Automatic Transmission Vehicles Coast in Neutral?

Automatic transmission vehicles should not coast in neutral. Coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient lubrication inside the transmission, which may cause damage over time. Here are more reasons why: When an automatic transmission vehicle is shifted into neutral while driving, the braking force of the car decreases, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. This is because, in neutral, the connection between the engine and the drive wheels is lost, and the car moves forward solely by inertia. In an emergency requiring braking, all the braking force must come from the brakes alone. In contrast, when coasting in gear, the engine provides some resistance, and combined with the brakes, the braking distance is shortened. Additionally, coasting in neutral can cause the engine to stall, leading to failure of the brake booster and reduced braking performance. Coasting in neutral does not save fuel; sometimes, it even consumes more. This is related to the operation of fuel-injected engines. A fuel-injected engine can determine the amount of fuel injection based on the computer program. When coasting in gear, if the driver releases the accelerator, the computer puts the car into a coasting mode where the engine does not inject fuel for a significant period. However, if coasting in neutral, the computer switches the car to idle mode, and the engine continues to inject fuel.
