Reasons for the engine yellow warning light and jerking sensation include: ignition system failure, fuel system failure, excessive engine carbon buildup, engine system malfunction, and damaged catalytic converter. Ignition system failure: For instance, aging ignition coils or spark plugs that haven't been replaced for a long time can lead to insufficient ignition energy, poor combustion, and weak engine acceleration. When the engine warning light comes on, promptly replace the aging components. Fuel system failure: System malfunction causing low pressure. Insufficient fuel injection can result in weak engine acceleration. It's advisable to visit a 4S shop for servicing. Excessive engine carbon buildup: Too much carbon buildup can impair fuel atomization, leading to poor exhaust combustion, excessive emissions, and weak acceleration. Timely cleaning of the engine is necessary. Engine system malfunction: Engine system failure can cause the engine to enter an emergency operating mode, limiting power output and resulting in weak acceleration. Visit a 4S shop promptly for engine system inspection and repair. Damaged catalytic converter or turbocharger: In such cases, take the vehicle to a repair facility for computer diagnostics to identify the fault codes and troubleshoot accordingly.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of small-displacement turbocharging?

Advantages of small-displacement turbocharged engines: 1. They increase engine air intake without raising displacement, thereby boosting power while keeping fuel consumption from rising too much. 2. Small-displacement turbocharged engines provide higher torque at low RPMs, making this power delivery more suitable for urban driving. 3. They have great modification potential—some engines can gain 40-50 horsepower just by reprogramming without any hardware modifications. Disadvantages of small-displacement turbocharged engines: 1. To reduce turbo lag, many small-displacement turbocharged engines use small-inertia turbos, which can cause pressure drop at high RPMs. 2. Their advantages disappear during high-speed driving, where naturally aspirated engines perform better. 3. Their power delivery is not linear. 4. Maintenance costs are slightly higher than naturally aspirated engines due to the need for higher-quality engine oil.

Where are the sunroof drainage holes located on the Tiguan L?

The drainage holes for the Tiguan L's sunroof are typically located at the four corners of the sunroof. Below is relevant information about the sunroof: Reasons for sunroof leakage: Blockage: The sunroof drainage outlets are obstructed by debris, preventing rainwater from draining and causing it to gradually seep into the vehicle. Damage: The sunroof sealing strip is damaged, leading to poor edge sealing and allowing rainwater to enter the vehicle. Gaps: There are gaps in the Tiguan's sunroof frame, causing rainwater to seep into the vehicle, a situation that usually occurs during heavy rain. Sunroof maintenance precautions during the rainy season: Inspect the sunroof tracks at least once a year: Check the usage cycle of the vehicle's sealing strips.
