The Tiguan L is equipped with three engines: 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The model of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is EA211, and the model of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is EA888. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers fast gear shifting and high transmission efficiency. The maximum power of the engine is 110 kW, with a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The maximum power speed is 5000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1750 to 3000 rpm. The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The maximum power speed ranges from 4200 to 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4000 rpm. The high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 162 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The maximum power speed ranges from 4500 to 6200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4400 rpm.

When I was learning about the Tiguan L, I found out that it mainly comes equipped with Volkswagen's EA888 engine series, especially the 2.0-liter turbocharged version, which is quite common and used in many Volkswagen models. The EA888 delivers excellent power output, with a maximum power of 186 horsepower, quick acceleration response, and good performance on uphill drives. I also noticed that after the 2020 model year, SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L introduced a 1.5T version powered by the EA211 engine, which focuses more on fuel efficiency and is suitable for city commuting. The engine model can affect daily driving experience—for example, choosing the high-power version makes long-distance driving more comfortable, but it’s important to change the engine oil on schedule during maintenance to avoid carbon buildup issues. Overall, the EA888 is quite reliable, and parts are easy to find. I recommend that owners pay attention to the specific codes in the vehicle manual, as different configurations may have slight variations in details.

Can You Still Start the Car with a Dead Key Fob?

If the car's remote key fob runs out of battery, you can still start the car with the push-button start system. Vehicles equipped with a push-button start system have a designated key detection spot. When the key fob is dead, you need to place it on this specific spot and then press the start button to ignite the engine. Introduction to Push-Button Start: Many modern car models come with push-button start functionality. Once inside the driver's seat, simply pressing the start switch will trigger the car to perform an automatic self-check and ignite. Additionally, vehicles with push-button start usually feature keyless entry. As long as the car detects the presence of the remote key fob, it will automatically unlock. When exiting the vehicle, there's no need to take out the key to lock the doors—just press the small square on the door handle, and the car will lock. Emergency Start: All push-button start vehicles have an emergency start method designed for situations where the key fob is dead or there's signal interference. If the car displays a "key fob not detected" message, you'll need to place the remote key fob in the emergency start location to ignite the engine. The emergency start location varies by vehicle model—most are near the center console, some are next to the gearshift, some inside the armrest compartment, some beneath the cupholder, and some on the steering column below the steering wheel. The emergency spot is usually marked with a key or unlock icon, and placing the key near this icon will allow the engine to start.

What does 4T motorcycle oil mean?

4T refers to the specialized oil designed for 4-stroke engines, while 2-stroke motorcycles should use dedicated 2-stroke oil. The "T" stands for the first letter of the English word "stroke". Choosing the right 4T motorcycle oil is crucial, with the primary selection criteria being viscosity grade and lubrication level. The details are as follows: Viscosity Grade: 4T oils are categorized into single-grade and multi-grade oils. Single-grade oils are suitable for narrow temperature ranges, such as SAE10W for winter (-10°C to 15°C) and SEA for summer (15°C to 40°C). Multi-grade oils (also called composite oils) combine both characteristics and can be used year-round, like SAE10W/40 (25°C to 40°C). From a lubrication perspective, multi-grade oils contain various additives (such as anti-oxidation/corrosion agents and detergent dispersants), making them superior to single-grade oils. The selection of multi-grade oils depends on ambient temperature: SAE5W/30 is antifreeze oil for northern winters, while SAE20W/50 is suitable for southern summers. Commonly used specifications include SAE10 and SAE15W/40; for heavier vehicle loads, SAE20W/40 can be chosen. Lubrication Level: According to the API (American Petroleum Institute) standard, the minimum acceptable grade for motorcycle 4T oil is SD, with higher grades being SF (high-grade) and SG (wear-resistant). Grades above SG are synthetic oils, typically used for multi-cylinder, multi-valve racing motorcycles. For general users, SF grade is recommended, while SG grade is preferable if conditions allow. Higher-grade oils extend oil change intervals: typically 1,000 km for SE, 1,500 km for SF, and 2,000 km for SG.

What Are the Factors Affecting the Coasting Distance of a Car?

Factors affecting the coasting distance of a car are as follows: Disengagement Speed: The higher the detection speed after disengaging the gear, the greater the inertia of the car, and the longer the coasting distance. Vehicle Mass: The greater the total mass of the car, the greater the inertia of the car, and the longer the coasting distance. Number of Drive Axles: The more drive axles the car has, the greater the driving resistance during coasting, and the shorter the coasting distance. Tire Pressure:

Where is the 'Ling' license plate from?

Currently, there is no 'Ling' license plate. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character, representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, or autonomous regions. The second character is an English letter, representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, usually the letter code for prefecture-level cities, regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, serving as the numbering and information registration for each vehicle. The materials typically used are aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, on which the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information is engraved.

What is the reason for the clutch feeling too light with no feedback?

The reasons for the clutch feeling too light with no feedback are: 1. Faulty release bearing: Both the release bearing and clutch disc are wear components. When the vehicle's clutch disc is severely worn, the condition of the release bearing will also be affected; 2. Broken clutch cable: The main function of the clutch cable is to transmit the pressure applied by the driver on the clutch pedal to the pressure plate. If the clutch cable breaks, the clutch cannot engage. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission.

Is There an Airbag on the Steering Wheel?

There is an airbag on the steering wheel. The driver's airbag is installed on the steering wheel. Locations of airbags: Airbags are located beneath the interior markings labeled 'airbag'. They are typically found on the steering wheel, the upper part of the glove compartment on the passenger side, the A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar, and front seats. Function of airbags: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system (see vehicle safety performance). When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.
