The ignition warning light turns red due to the following reasons: 1. The ignition system may be faulty, leading to poor engine combustion, requiring inspection and repair of the ignition system; 2. The spark plugs may have excessive carbon deposits, abnormal sparking, or no sparking, necessitating cleaning or replacement; 3. The high-voltage coil or high-voltage circuit may be malfunctioning, requiring checks on voltage and resistance; 4. It could also be due to faults in related components, causing poor combustion in the engine cylinders, which triggers the ignition warning light. When a car's malfunction indicator light is on, it signifies that there is a fault in the vehicle, and it is advisable to promptly visit a 4S shop or similar facility to diagnose the issue before proceeding with repairs. Generally, the vehicle can still be driven when the malfunction indicator light is on, but if left unattended for an extended period, the fault may worsen, potentially damaging related components.

Does a leaking steering gear have to be replaced?

A leaking steering gear does not necessarily need to be replaced. If the leakage is minor, it can be temporarily ignored and the vehicle can continue to be driven. However, if the leakage is severe, it is recommended to replace it directly. Repairing a leaking steering gear requires disassembly, and if the repair is not done properly, it may not only fail to fix the issue but could also lead to more complications. In such cases, it is safer to replace the steering gear outright. Most steering gear leaks are caused by the corrosion and aging of oil seals, especially in vehicles older than three years. Over time, rubber seals harden and age, and prolonged exposure to temperature changes exacerbates the problem. When the seals shrink, harden, and lose elasticity, leakage occurs. If left unaddressed for an extended period, it can lead to excessive wear and increased clearance in the steering gear rack, resulting in noise when turning or driving. In severe cases, it may cause the steering to become heavier, leading to a loss of power steering assistance.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Feel Stiff When Driving at High Speeds?

Car steering wheel stiffness at high speeds can be attributed to: 1. If the steering wheel feels slightly stiff when driving at high speeds, especially in hydraulic power steering models, the issue is likely related to the power steering fluid. Dirty power steering fluid or air in the system can cause this phenomenon; 2. Slight stiffness in the steering wheel could also be due to a binding steering column or an unresponsive steering angle sensor; 3. If the steering angle sensor is not properly lubricated, it may stick, leading to slight stiffness in the steering wheel. Solutions for steering wheel stiffness: Some minor stiffness issues can be resolved by adjusting the steering wheel up and down and then returning it to its original position; others may require turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock a few times while stationary to eliminate the stiffness.

How many kilometers should the Magotan fuel filter be replaced?

Magotan's fuel filter should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Long-term failure to replace it will result in: reduced filtration capacity of the filter element, clogging of the fuel filter, which will affect fuel pressure, leading to insufficient fuel supply, allowing some impurities in the fuel to enter the fuel injector, valve, and cylinder, thereby affecting the normal operation of the engine. If high-quality gasoline is used, the service life of the fuel filter will be longer. Magotan is FAW-Volkswagen's first B-segment sedan, with dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2812mm. The vehicle is equipped with an ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent the car from skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds, ensuring the safety of the driver and the vehicle.
