Audi's FSI stands for Fuel-Stratified-Injection, which means fuel stratified injection, an innovative and revolutionary technology in the field of direct-injection gasoline engines. Below is the relevant introduction of FSI: 1. FSI technology: FSI fuel direct injection technology achieves a perfect combination of engine power and fuel economy under the same displacement. It is the most mature and advanced fuel direct injection technology in today's automotive industry engine technology and leads the development trend of gasoline engines. 2. The technical principle of FSI: The FSI engine uses a high-pressure pump to make gasoline reach an electromagnetically controlled high-pressure fuel injector through a split rail, forming the optimal vortex shape of the intake flow into the combustion chamber, pushing in a stratified filling manner, so that the mixed gas is concentrated around the spark plug located in the center of the combustion chamber.

FSI is Audi's fuel stratified injection technology, standing for Fuel Stratified Injection. As someone who enjoys delving into automotive details, I know from firsthand experience driving Audis that this is a direct injection system where fuel is sprayed directly into the cylinders rather than the intake manifold. It offers several advantages: fuel efficiency, improved power response, especially strong performance at low RPMs. Having driven FSI models like the A4, I noticed quick acceleration without noticeable lag. However, it has now evolved into TFSI with turbocharging – if you're interested, you can explore Audi's engine development history. The core principle is efficient combustion to reduce emissions, making it genuinely worth trying for daily driving, with decent fuel economy even on long trips.

How to Make Modified Cars Legal for Road Use?

Modified cars can be made legal for road use through the following methods: 1. Exterior modifications: You can achieve this through decals or car wraps, but the area covered must be within 30% of the vehicle's surface to be considered a legal modification; 2. Body color modifications: The modified color cannot exceed three main tones. After modification, you must complete the change procedures at the vehicle management office within ten days and obtain a new driver's license; 3. Safety considerations: Interior modifications must be done without compromising driving safety; 4. Other aspects: Small or micro passenger cars can have their front and rear anti-collision devices modified if damaged. Adding windshields, water tanks, spare tires, etc., to cargo motor vehicles does not require change registration and is legal, but modifications must not obscure the license plate or affect driving.

How Far Can You Drive When the Car's Fuel Gauge Shows 0 km?

When a car's fuel gauge shows 0 km, for a typical family car, it can usually continue to drive for another 20-30 kilometers without any issues. However, the exact distance depends on the vehicle model and the driver's habits. Below are some details about driving when the fuel gauge shows 0 km: 1. Actual remaining fuel when the gauge shows 0 km: Generally, when the fuel warning light comes on, a standard family car still has about 5 liters of fuel left. The exact remaining fuel can be found in the vehicle's user manual. For example, a Passat, being a mid-size car, has about 9 liters of fuel left when the warning light comes on—larger fuel tanks naturally hold more remaining fuel. 2. Precautions when driving with the fuel gauge at 0 km: Factors such as the driver's skill, road conditions, and weather can affect fuel consumption. If the fuel warning light comes on while driving on a highway, it's advisable to maintain a steady speed in the right lane and turn off the air conditioning to maximize fuel efficiency.

What are the 4 basic car insurances?

Car basic insurances include compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance. Below is a detailed introduction to car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance is a type of car insurance that the state mandates car owners to purchase. Other types of insurance may not be bought, but compulsory traffic insurance is a must for car owners; otherwise, the car is not allowed on the road. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance generally covers the loss of one's own vehicle or the other party's vehicle. In most cases, car owners will insure this. 3. Third-party Liability Insurance: Third-party liability insurance covers injuries to third parties or damage to their property. For example, if a traffic accident involves injuries to a third party, having this insurance will provide compensation. 4. No-deductible Insurance: No-deductible insurance is a must-buy for car owners. Without this insurance, there is generally a deductible rate of about 25% when a claim occurs.

What do P, R, N, D, S mean on an automatic transmission car?

The meanings of P, R, N, D, S on an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. P (Park): Parking gear, used when parking for a long time. For example, when you arrive at your destination and need to park to run errands, you should shift to P gear. 2. R (Reverse): Reverse gear, used when backing up. The only thing to note is to wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into reverse to avoid damaging the transmission. 3. N (Neutral): Neutral gear. Used when parking for a short time, such as at traffic lights or other situations requiring brief stops. 4. D (Drive): Forward gear. 'One D gear to rule them all' refers to this—step on the gas and go. Of course, this is not a scientific approach as using D gear for all road conditions can harm the vehicle. Different gears should be selected based on road conditions. 5. S (Sport): Sport gear. This gear provides powerful acceleration. It's the dedicated gear for overtaking or when you want to speed up. Under the same fuel consumption, shifting into this gear allows for faster acceleration.

Is It Normal to Feel a Jerk When Shifting from N to D in an Automatic Car?

It is mostly normal to experience a jerk or jolt when shifting from D to N or N to D in an automatic transmission car. If the car is new, it is unlikely to be a fault. In D gear, the engine disconnects from the transmission. AT/CVT transmissions, which use a torque converter structure (a soft connection), tend to have slightly less noticeable jerks, while DCT/AMT transmissions, which use a clutch for rigid connection and disengagement, may exhibit more pronounced jerks. Below are some related explanations: 1. Rear-wheel-drive cars: The jolt can be more noticeable when shifting to neutral, and you might observe the rear of the vehicle slightly sinking. This occurs because, after shifting from drive to neutral, the transmission's driveshaft and differential undergo a process similar to releasing tension. The sudden interruption of power and the gap between separating gears can cause this sinking sensation. 2. Reason: Automatic transmissions are designed to make driving more convenient, but the principle of power transmission is essentially the same as in manual transmissions. Whenever the engine's power needs to be transmitted through the gearbox to the wheels, there will be opposing forces at play, resulting in sounds or certain jerking sensations.

What are the causes of a blown cylinder head gasket?

Analysis of the causes of a blown cylinder head gasket is as follows: 1. Elongation or loosening of cylinder head bolts and nuts: Due to the extrusion deformation of the contact surface between the cylinder head and the engine block, the compression deformation of the cylinder head gasket, occasional overload caused by high-pressure gas on the cylinder head bolts and nuts, insufficient depth of cylinder head bolt threading, flattening of microscopic unevenness on the thread surface, and bolt necking caused by excessive torque, all can lead to elongation or loosening of cylinder head bolts and nuts. This results in insufficient and uneven pressure on the contact surface between the cylinder head and the engine block, allowing high-temperature and high-pressure gas to escape from areas with lower pressure, thereby burning out the cylinder head gasket. 2. Deformation of the contact surfaces of the cylinder head and engine block: If these contact surfaces are deformed, the cylinder head gasket cannot be evenly compressed, leading to gas leakage and subsequent burning of the gasket, which is also a major cause of cylinder head gasket failure. 3. Improper installation not meeting technical requirements: During installation, if the contact surface of the cylinder head gasket is not clean, the tightening sequence of cylinder head bolts and nuts is incorrect, the torque is insufficient or uneven, or the height of the upper end face of each cylinder liner above the engine block's upper plane is insufficient or unequal, gas leakage can occur, resulting in the burning of the cylinder head gasket. 4. Engine overheating: Abnormal operation of the engine cooling system, delayed fuel supply timing, and prolonged overload operation can all cause engine overheating. Particularly, the area between the intake and exhaust valve seats of the cylinder head and the outlet of the swirl chamber passage experiences higher temperatures. The high temperature causes the cylinder head gasket to lose its original elasticity and become brittle, eventually leading to burning. 5. Poor quality of the cylinder head gasket itself: Issues such as uneven thickness, uneven rolled edges, insufficient elasticity, inferior materials, uneven surfaces, or damage during disassembly and installation can easily lead to the burning of the cylinder head gasket.
