The Golf 1.4T comes in 3 models. The 2016 1.4TSI Automatic R-Line, equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100km. The 2016 1.4TSI Manual R-Line, also with a 150-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100km. The 2016 1.4TSI 25th Anniversary Edition, featuring a 131-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.8L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the Golf 1.4T is 50L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank is as follows: The 2016 1.4TSI Automatic R-Line can travel 50/5.4*100=925km on a full tank. The 2016 1.4TSI Manual R-Line can travel 50/5.5*100=909km on a full tank. The model with the 131-horsepower engine can travel 50/5.8*100=862km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.

I drive a seventh-generation Golf 1.4T, with a daily commuting fuel consumption of around 7.2L/100km in real-world conditions. In city traffic jams, it can spike to 9L, but it's particularly fuel-efficient on highway cruises, with the lowest recorded at 5.3L. I remember one summer trip with the AC on full blast and four passengers on mountain roads, and the display showed just 8.6L. Fuel efficiency really depends on driving technique—I tend to lightly press the throttle and avoid sudden braking, which noticeably saves fuel compared to my friend’s identical car. He loves flooring it from a stop, resulting in 1.5L higher consumption than mine. Keeping tire pressure above 2.5 and using 0W-20 full synthetic oil also help save fuel.

What Are the Reasons for Noise from Newly Replaced Tires?

Often, the increased noise from new tires is due to the larger tread pattern resonance of the new tires, which leads to louder tire noise. It could also be because the aspect ratio of the new tires differs from that of the old ones—new tires with a lower aspect ratio have a larger contact area with the road, resulting in more noise. Additionally, the harder compound of new tires can contribute to increased noise. Another possible reason for the humming noise after replacing tires is improper installation methods during the tire replacement process: After replacing the tires, if the technician did not perform dynamic balancing, it can lead to uneven resistance and wear among the tires, causing "tire cupping." Newly replaced tires might be wider than the old ones, increasing the contact area with the road and thus raising friction and noise. The heightened noise level compared to before may make the driver perceive an abnormal humming sound. During the tire replacement process, certain steps might not have been properly executed, potentially causing issues with the wheel bearings. Therefore, to minimize noise issues not caused by the tires themselves, the following measures should be taken: Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it remains within the normal range; Perform dynamic balancing after tire replacement to prevent uneven tire wear; Ensure the specifications, tread patterns, and brands of the replacement tires match the original ones; Note that asymmetric tread patterns and directional tires have specific installation orientations—incorrect installation can increase noise; It is advisable to replace both tires on the same axle at the same time to avoid uneven pressure distribution and increased noise.

What Causes a Lot of Water Under the Car Floor Mats?

Reasons for a lot of water under the car floor mats: 1. Check if the sunroof drainage pipes are clogged. Fully open the sunroof to see a groove. Slowly pour water into the groove (the sunroof drainage pipe) to see if the water drains or gets blocked. The outlet of this drainage pipe should be located on the A-pillar or C-pillar of the car. 2. Inspect the door drainage pipes. Open the door, and you will find many small holes at the bottom—these are the drainage outlets. Check if they are clogged. 3. The door may need to be disassembled. Many small advertisements or business cards are often stuffed into the gaps between the door and window. If they fall inside unnoticed, disassembling the door may reveal wet clumps of cards, which not only block the drainage outlets but can also cause water leakage. 4. A malfunctioning air conditioner may leak water into the passenger side footwell.

What is the correct method for shutting down an automatic transmission car?

The correct steps for shutting down an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. First, slow down the car and press the brake, then shift into N (Neutral) gear. 2. Engage the handbrake firmly and release the foot brake. Once the car comes to a complete stop, shift into P (Park) gear. 3. Finally, turn off the ignition and remove the key to complete the shutdown process. Below is some information about automatic transmissions: (1) Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch found in manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. (2) When the engine speed of an automatic transmission car is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. (3) When the gear selector of an automatic transmission car is placed in the drive (D) position and the brake pedal is released, increasing the throttle and engine speed raises the transmitted torque, enabling the car to move forward.

What Causes a Thud Sound When Driving Over Uneven Roads?

If your car makes abnormal noises when driving over uneven roads, it may indicate a faulty shock absorber. The solution is to replace it with a new one. Alternatively, the issue could stem from a damaged shock absorber top mount rubber, which requires replacing the aged buffer rubber with a new one. More details are as follows: 1. The connection points between the car's shock absorbers and the body are equipped with buffer rubbers, which are rubber components. Over time, these rubber parts can harden and age, leading to abnormal noises when traversing bumpy roads. 2. Shock absorbers are considered wear-and-tear parts in vehicles, though they typically last a long time. Eventually, they may develop oil leaks, necessitating replacement. 3. When purchasing shock absorbers, opt for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts rather than those from smaller manufacturers, as OEM parts offer more stable and reliable quality. 4. To protect your vehicle, reduce speed when driving over bumpy roads or speed bumps. Additionally, ensure both wheels cross speed bumps almost simultaneously to minimize impact on the shock absorbers and suspension.

Is it necessary to use 95-octane gasoline for new cars?

Whether a new car requires 95-octane gasoline depends on the specific brand and model. Generally, most naturally aspirated engine models can use 92-octane gasoline. It is advisable to follow the fuel requirements specified in the vehicle's manual. More details are as follows: 1. In terms of basic composition, gasoline has two important components: n-heptane and isooctane. The octane rating represents the proportion of isooctane. For example, 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 2. Different octane ratings primarily prevent engine "knocking." Generally, vehicles designed for 95-octane gasoline should never use 92-octane, as it can easily cause cylinder knocking. 3. Using 95-octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for 92-octane is less severe and at least won't cause "knocking." There is no scientific basis for the claim that higher-octane gasoline saves more fuel during highway driving. To save fuel, focus more on route planning and driving habits, such as avoiding sudden braking to reduce kinetic energy loss.

What is the PCV valve in Wuling's recall?

Wuling's PCV valve is part of the engine's crankcase forced ventilation system. Detailed information: Introduction: PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation control system in Chinese. The PCV valve consists of a valve body, valve, and valve cover, and is typically installed between the valve rocker cover and the intake manifold. PCV valve inspection method: After reinstalling the PCV valve, remove the crankcase intake pipe from the air filter, lightly cover the pipe opening with a thin piece of paper. As the pressure in the crankcase decreases, the paper should be noticeably sucked towards the pipe opening. Additionally, after stopping the engine, remove the PCV valve and shake it by hand to check. If a 'click' sound is heard, it indicates that the PCV valve is flexible and usable.
