P030085 indicates misfire detection, where a signal exceeds the permitted limit value P030285, identifying misfire in cylinder 2. Below are relevant details: 1. Ignition inspection: Through disconnecting ignition detection, it was found that cylinders 2 and 3 are not functioning properly—not completely non-operational but performing poorly. After swapping ignition coils and spark plugs between cylinders 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6, the issue persists. 2. Fuel injector swap: The same method was applied to the fuel injectors, yet the problem remains. Subsequently, an endoscopic inspection of cylinders 2 and 3 revealed no cylinder scoring or other faults. A cylinder pressure test showed all six engine cylinders achieving pressures above 1200 kPa. After removing the intake pipe, each cylinder's intake was found to be independent. Starting the engine and manually blocking each cylinder's intake demonstrated strong suction pressure uniformly across all six cylinders. At this stage, suspicions of mechanical system faults in the engine are largely ruled out.

What is the rubber strip on the car door called?

The rubber strip on the car door is called the door seal. It is a product that seals the door, making it harder to open, and serves functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dustproofing, and fixing. It is mainly applied to the door frame, side windows, front and rear windshields, engine hood, and trunk lid, providing waterproofing, dustproofing, sound insulation, temperature insulation, shock absorption, and decoration. More details are as follows: The door sealing system mainly targets two areas: 1. Door opening area: It primarily relies on an inner door seal strip installed around the side panel door opening flange or an outer door seal strip installed around the door to seal the entire door opening. Some models have both seal strips, while others use only one, depending on performance requirements or cost targets. 2. Window area: This mainly relies on the glass guide channel seal strip on the window frame and the inner and outer window sill seal strips to achieve sealing. They also ensure the smooth up-and-down movement of the window glass. Typically, the glass guide channel seal strip has the highest requirements and the most complex structure in the vehicle sealing system.

Where Does Water Enter a Flooded Sedan?

Water can enter a car through the sunroof, doors, or chassis. Here are the details: 1. Vehicle chassis: The chassis typically has drainage holes designed to expel water after wading. If these holes get clogged with debris or their rubber seals deteriorate/detach, water infiltration becomes likely. 2. Precautions: Never attempt to restart the engine immediately after hydro-lock occurs. Since the exact cause of stalling can't be instantly determined, reckless ignition attempts may inflict unpredictable severe damage to the vehicle.

How to Turn Off Foldable Side Mirrors?

To turn off foldable side mirrors: There is a side mirror folding control button on the left side of the driver's door. Press the button to fold them. If the car's side mirrors have an automatic folding function, they cannot be folded manually, as manual folding may damage the internal gears. Foldable side mirrors can be retracted when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's maneuverability. Drivers can also fold the mirrors when leaving the car, which not only protects the mirror surface but also reduces parking space. Note that in winter, when temperatures are low, the mirrors may freeze, so it's best to minimize folding them.

How to Adjust Headlights?

Methods for adjusting headlights: 1. If there is a headlight height adjustment button inside the car, simply adjust it via the button; 2. If there is no headlight height adjustment button inside the car, you need to open the engine hood and adjust through the headlight assembly by turning the adjustment screws at the back of the headlight for mechanical adjustment. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, are closely related to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. Car headlight enhancers use a scientific voltage-boosting method to provide a constant optimal working voltage for car front lights separately, offering filament preheating protection during startup. After startup, the headlights emit a constant, bright white light that does not vary with changes in engine speed.

What are the solutions for a heavy steering wheel in the Sagitar?

Solutions for a heavy steering wheel in the Sagitar: 1. Replace the power steering fluid; 2. Check the power steering system; 3. Check the tire pressure. Power steering fluid also needs to be replaced regularly, generally every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers. Low tire pressure can cause the steering wheel to become heavier, and in severe cases, it may even lead to a tire blowout due to insufficient pressure. The Sagitar is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4544mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1461mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2578mm. It is equipped with three engines: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission.
