3.5t Explorer consumes about 15 to 16 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on average. The Explorer is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Ford brand. This vehicle is equipped with two engines: one is a 2.3t engine, and the other is a 3.5t engine. More details are as follows: 1. 2.3t engine: Maximum power is 203kw, maximum torque is 410 Nm, maximum power speed is 5500 rpm, and maximum torque speed is 3500 rpm. This engine uses direct injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. 3.5t engine: This is a V-type 6-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 262kw and a maximum torque of 501 Nm. The maximum power speed is 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 2500 rpm. This engine also uses direct injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I've been driving a Ford Explorer 3.5 for several years now. In urban conditions, the fuel consumption is approximately 15 to 18 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it can drop to 11 to 13 liters, but the actual figures fluctuate quite a bit. My car is mainly used for long-distance travel, and fuel consumption spikes significantly under complex road conditions, especially when climbing hills or carrying heavy luggage. Driving habits have a big impact—avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and maintaining a steady speed saves a lot of fuel. Also, checking tire pressure monthly is crucial; low tire pressure increases friction and can add 1-2 liters to fuel consumption. The age of the car also plays a role; carbon buildup in the engine reduces efficiency, so regular carbon cleaning is recommended, along with annual maintenance and air filter replacement to save fuel and extend component lifespan. Based on real experience, the average consumption works out to around 15 liters overall. It's not the most fuel-efficient car, but its strong handling, spacious interior, and high safety rating make it a worthy choice for family trips.

Who to Contact for a Car Tire Blowout?

Modern vehicles are generally equipped with a spare tire and the necessary tools for changing it, allowing the owner to replace it themselves. If you are unable to change the tire yourself, you can contact a 4S dealership or your insurance company for roadside assistance. Alternatively, you can directly call 122 to request help from traffic police. Important precautions after a tire blowout: 1. Avoid sudden braking: If a tire blows out while driving, do not slam on the brakes (emergency braking). Sudden braking during a tire blowout can easily cause the vehicle to skid or roll over, leading to a traffic accident. 2. Maintain control of the steering wheel: After a tire blowout, release the accelerator, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, and strive to keep the vehicle moving straight. Gradually reduce speed and safely move the vehicle out of the main lane.

Where is the Mitsubishi Pajero carburetor located?

Pajero carburetor is located between the engine intake pipe and the air filter. Here is the relevant information: 1. The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline and air under the vacuum generated by the engine operation. 2. The carburetor cleaning steps are as follows: (1) Remove the air filter, start the engine, and make the engine reach the maximum speed; (2) Quickly cover the carburetor air intake with a clean gloved palm or a clean cloth. A strong suction can be felt on the palm, and the engine speed will gradually decrease. When the engine speed is relatively low, remove the palm and let the engine return to normal; (3) Repeat the above two steps several times until the engine works normally. There is carburetor cleaner on the car, and using it can reduce the number of repetitions.

Where is the VIN stamping location on the Citroen C-Quatre?

The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) stamping on the Citroen C-Quatre is located below the front windshield. By carefully observing the lower part of the front windshield, you can find it. The VIN, also known as the vehicle identification code, is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to each vehicle for identification purposes. Through specific combinations, this code ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have identical numbers within 30 years, making it effectively the "car's ID card". The 17-character VIN has distinct meanings for each position: 1st character: Represents the country of manufacture. The vehicle's origin country can be identified from this character. 2nd character: Indicates the manufacturer code, revealing the vehicle's brand. 3rd character: Specifies the vehicle type code, showing whether it's a passenger car, bus, or truck. 4th character: Denotes the body style code, indicating configurations like A-4 door notchback, B-4 door fastback, or C-4 door extended notchback. 5th character: Represents the engine/transmission code. 6th character: Shows the occupant protection system code. 7th-8th characters: Indicate the vehicle grade code. 9th character: The check digit, used to verify the VIN's accuracy. 10th character: The model year code, helping buyers determine if the vehicle is being sold as new when it might actually be inventory stock. 11th character: Identifies the assembly plant ("0" indicates factory assembly). This helps buyers verify if the car is imported and avoid dealer misrepresentation. 12th-17th characters: The production sequence number, used by manufacturers for recall purposes when needed.

Is Throttle Blip Necessary When Downshifting?

Downshifting does not necessarily require throttle blipping. Throttle blipping is used to synchronize the engine speed during downshifting, and it can be omitted when the speed difference is small. As a common shifting technique among many manual transmission drivers, throttle blipping during downshifting can effectively reduce gear-shock when decelerating or overtaking at high speeds. The throttle blipping process consists of four steps: press the clutch and shift to neutral—release the clutch and blip the throttle—press the clutch, release the throttle, and shift to a lower gear—release the clutch and press the throttle to accelerate. During the throttle blipping process, the gear undergoes two changes: 1. First, when downshifting to overtake, release the throttle, press the clutch, and simultaneously use your right hand to shift to neutral—this completes the first gear change. 2. While keeping the clutch pressed with your left foot, quickly press the throttle with your right foot to raise the engine speed. 3. Finally, after blipping the throttle, shift to the lower gear, completing the second gear change. Then, release the clutch and press the throttle. The downshift with throttle blip is now complete.

What is a Fuel-Powered Vehicle?

Hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, alcohol ether fuel vehicles, natural gas vehicles, etc. The following is an introduction to fuel-powered vehicles: 1. Hybrid Electric: Based on traditional fuel-powered vehicles, it adds an electric motor, battery, and electronic control system. The vehicle is driven by both the electric motor and the engine during operation. Typical examples include the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid, and Buick LaCrosse Hybrid. 2. Plug-in Hybrid: Plug-in hybrid vehicles differ from traditional gasoline-powered and electric-drive hybrids. Their driving principles and units are the same as those of electric vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with motors and batteries, can be charged via an external power source, and can run on electricity for a certain distance. When the battery is depleted, the internal combustion engine can be started to drive the vehicle.

How often does a car need major maintenance?

Major car maintenance is typically performed every three years or 60,000 kilometers. The main contents of major car maintenance are as follows: 1. Oil change: Changing the oil is a mandatory item for major maintenance. Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction, aids in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. 2. Replace the oil filter: The oil filter is replaced at the same time as the oil. The oil filter removes debris, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to the lubrication points. 3. Replace the air filter: The air filter blocks dust and particles that the engine inhales during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, dust can enter the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. 4. Replace the cabin air filter: If the cabin air filter is not cleaned or replaced for a long time, the car's air conditioning system can become contaminated, reducing the performance of the cooling system and affecting the health and safety of passengers.
