The actual fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Tiguan L is approximately 8.4 to 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, and a curb weight of 1650kg. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 186PS, a maximum power of 137kW, and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan L for almost three years now. During urban rush hours, the fuel consumption often surges to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can go even higher to 12 liters if stuck in prolonged traffic jams. However, it drops to around 7 liters on highways, which is quite stable. Personally, I believe driving habits make a big difference—gentle acceleration and using cruise control save a lot, while sudden acceleration or hard braking consumes more fuel. Another tip is to regularly check tire pressure; if it's below the recommended level, increased tire resistance leads to higher fuel consumption. Using air conditioning in summer typically adds about half a liter, and cold starts in winter also consume slightly more. For maintenance, changing the air filter every six months helps maintain efficiency. Don’t overlook heavy items in the trunk—fully loaded luggage can push fuel consumption up to 11 liters. Overall, as an SUV, it's not particularly fuel-efficient in crowded cities, but it performs decently on long trips, making it suitable for someone like me who frequently hits the road.

Why Doesn't the Car Blow Warm Air?

The reasons why a car doesn't blow warm air are as follows: 1. Thermostat failure, causing the cooling system to prematurely enter a large circulation cycle, resulting in no hot air. 2. Dirty or clogged air filter, affecting the efficiency of the warm air. 3. Faulty warm air control button, unable to transmit the corresponding signal for warm air supply, leading to no warm air. 4. Clogged heater core, preventing coolant from flowing through it, resulting in no hot air. Below is the principle of how a car produces warm air: When the car's heating system is operating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core. At the same time, the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing the car's air conditioning vents to blow warm air.

Can I Keep the Original License Plate When Buying a Used Car?

When transferring ownership of a used car, it is not possible to retain the original license plate number. Details are as follows: 1. According to legal regulations, for non-immediate family transfers, the license plate number must be changed and the original one cannot be retained. 2. If the old car undergoes a transfer of ownership, you can apply for a license plate renewal quota at the vehicle management office. 3. During the application process, you may attempt to request the retention of the original license plate number. 4. If the current vehicle owner's residence is within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the office should confirm the vehicle, verify the vehicle identification number imprint, review the submitted documents and certificates, reclaim the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, determine a new license plate number, note the transfer details in the vehicle registration certificate, and reissue the license plate, registration certificate, and inspection certificate within one day of accepting the application.

What to Do When the Auto Start-Stop System Fails?

Auto start-stop system failure should be diagnosed for the cause and repaired promptly at a 4S shop. Specific details are as follows: 1. Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car, causing the system to shut down. 2. There may be issues with the car's wiring, or other reasons causing the start-stop system to malfunction. It's best to go to a 4S shop for repair in such cases. 3. Faulty components related to the start-stop function may prevent it from working. It is recommended to check at a regular repair shop whether the battery is functioning properly or if there are issues with related components. 4. The presence of high-power electrical appliances in the car or insufficient battery power may cause the system to detect that the battery does not have enough power to restart the engine, thus automatically shutting down the start-stop function.

How long should you warm up your car in the morning?

When driving, the warm-up time is generally about 1 minute, depending on the temperature of the day. Generally speaking, the warm-up time is based on 60 seconds. If the morning temperature is around 30 degrees, then the warm-up time should be 30 seconds (60-30=30). If the temperature is around 0 degrees, the warm-up time should be 60 seconds (60-0=60). If the temperature is around -10 degrees, the warm-up time should be 70 seconds (60+10=70), and so on, to determine the warm-up time. When the car is idling, if the engine speed is below 1000 RPM, then it can be judged that the car's warm-up is complete and it can be driven normally. The purpose of warming up the car is to allow the engine oil to circulate, thereby increasing lubrication in the engine during driving, which can reduce engine wear and increase speed.

How Long Does It Take to Get License Plates for a New Car?

Generally, it takes one to two days to get license plates for a new car. Below are the required documents for new car registration and the functions of license plates: Documents required for new car registration: ID card, vehicle qualification certificate, triplicate car purchase invoice issued by the 4S shop, original and duplicate tax receipts obtained after paying the vehicle purchase tax, insurance policy, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and temporary residence permit if you are not a local resident. New car registration must be processed at the vehicle management office. After submitting all the required documents and paying the fees, the vehicle must be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. Some exempt vehicles can undergo an external inspection directly, which usually involves checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to choose a license plate. Functions of license plates: The main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs. The license plate can also be used to look up the owner of the vehicle and its registration information.

What causes the clicking noise when braking in an Audi Q5?

The reason for the clicking noise from the chassis of an Audi Q5 is usually due to damaged bushings on the left and right lower control arms. Replacing the bushings generally resolves the issue. Below is relevant information: 1. Function of the lower control arm: The lower control arm enhances the vehicle's grip performance, providing the driver with a better driving experience. The lower control arm is a mechanical tool that, through different linkage configurations, allows the suspension to automatically adjust the camber and toe angles during compression, as well as provide the rear wheels with a certain steering angle. 2. Working principle: The working principle of the lower control arm involves designing constraint angles for connecting movement points, enabling the suspension to actively adjust wheel alignment during compression. This design offers great flexibility, allowing for precise matching and tuning specific to the vehicle model. Therefore, multi-link suspension can maximize tire grip, thereby improving the vehicle's handling limits. It offers the best performance among all suspension designs.
