The 2018 Touran is equipped with the EA211-CSS engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 HP, a maximum power output of 110 kW at 5000 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The engine used in the 2018 Touran is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, a Sino-German joint venture, making it domestically manufactured. Here are some daily maintenance tips for the 2018 Touran's engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing dirty oil to bypass the filter and return to the lubrication system, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the lifespan of both the radiator and the engine.

I drive a 2018 Touran equipped with a 1.4-liter TSI gasoline engine, codenamed EA211, delivering approximately 150 horsepower. Having driven it for over three years, it's perfectly sufficient for daily commutes, with urban fuel consumption around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping to just over 6 liters on highways. The power delivery is smooth with quick starts, and acceleration is free of jerks. The spacious interior is family-friendly, making long trips hassle-free. Occasionally, there's slight idle noise from the engine, but I've gotten used to it—it's not a major issue. Regular maintenance shouldn't be overlooked; change the oil every 10,000 kilometers and check the spark plugs to prevent carbon buildup. Overall, this engine is highly durable, holds its value well in the used car market, and choosing it won't leave you regretting the decision.

How Many Turns Can a Car Steering Wheel Make?

Small car steering wheels can typically turn 2 full rotations or one and a half rotations. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft to achieve the purpose of changing the vehicle's direction. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke steering wheels, dual-spoke steering wheels, triple-spoke steering wheels, and quad-spoke steering wheels. The method to adjust the height of the steering wheel is: 1. Locate the handle at the bottom of the steering wheel; 2. Press down the handle to adjust. The reasons for noise when turning the steering wheel include: 1. Insufficient lubrication of the steering column, leading to high friction; 2. Lack of power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings on the suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing.

Is It Possible to Coast in Neutral When Going Downhill?

It is not advisable to coast in neutral when going downhill. Instead, you should engage an appropriate gear to utilize the engine's braking effect to reduce the vehicle's coasting speed. The correct method for descending a hill is: 1. Depress the clutch and brake pedals, then shift the gear lever into neutral; 2. Depress the clutch and brake pedals, turn the key to the first position to allow the vehicle to perform a self-check; 3. Turn the key further to start the engine; 4. After the engine starts, engage first gear; 5. Slowly release the clutch and brake pedals, and when the vehicle's vibration becomes noticeably strong, slightly release the brake to begin moving. Precautions for downhill driving include: 1. Reduce speed before starting the descent to enter the downhill section at a slow speed; 2. Shift into an appropriate gear before entering the downhill section, not after; 3. Do not coast in neutral on downhill sections; always engage an appropriate gear to use the engine's braking effect to control speed; 4. Test the brakes to ensure they are functioning properly before descending; 5. Avoid sudden steering movements on downhill sections, as they can easily cause the vehicle to overturn; 6. Maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.

Where Are the Clutch, Brake, and Accelerator Pedals?

In a manual transmission car, the three pedals from left to right are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake pedal, and the right pedal is the accelerator pedal, with no clutch pedal. Manufacturers designed this layout based on ergonomics to ensure drivers can react quickly in emergencies. Note: These two pedals should only be controlled with the right foot—never use the left foot to control one pedal. Precautions for controlling the accelerator: When pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, apply gentle force to ensure smooth and gradual movements. Select the appropriate gear to keep the engine running mostly at medium speed and larger throttle openings for fuel efficiency. Coordinate releasing the clutch with pressing the accelerator smoothly and swiftly. Before stopping or turning off the engine, release the accelerator pedal first—avoid revving the engine abruptly. Braking precautions: Press the brake pedal gradually, avoiding sudden braking to prevent the car from jerking forward. Brake early, maintaining a safe following distance, and anticipate road conditions to brake in advance. For long downhill braking, use the automatic parking system to assist, preventing overheating of the brake pads. When braking in curves, slow down before entering the curve, then accelerate out of it. On rainy days or gravel roads, use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to prevent skidding. Tips for new drivers: Check tires before driving: Since tires are the only contact point with the road, poor tire condition may lead to blowouts at high speeds, endangering safety. Drive at a steady speed—avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to give surrounding vehicles enough reaction time. Always signal before overtaking—use flashing high beams, honking, or other methods to alert the vehicle ahead. Maintain a safe following distance to avoid collisions if the leading vehicle brakes suddenly. Avoid using your phone while driving. If you miss an exit on the highway, never reverse or stop abruptly.
