What is the fuel consumption of the Passat Lingyu 1.8T automatic?
1 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Passat Lingyu 1.8T automatic transmission is 9.1-10.3L/100km. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Spark plug carbon buildup: If the spark plugs accumulate excessive carbon or become worn, it can lead to decreased ignition energy and stability, resulting in increased fuel consumption. It is recommended that urban drivers clean them every 20,000-30,000 km and replace them periodically based on the spark plug material. Fuel injector cleaning: The quality of fuel atomization from the injectors directly affects engine combustion, which can lead to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the fuel injectors approximately every 60,000 km. Tire pressure monitoring: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, not only raising fuel consumption but also causing damage to the tire sidewalls. It can also pose a risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Thus, maintaining proper tire pressure is essential. Timely removal of unnecessary items in the car: Some drivers tend to keep many items in their cars, which increases the vehicle's weight. According to tests and statistical analysis, every additional 10 kg in the car increases fuel consumption by 400 ml per 1,000 km. Therefore, avoid keeping unused items in the car to save fuel. Good driving habits: Avoid sudden acceleration and braking. Anticipate road conditions ahead to adjust speed and braking accordingly, minimizing the habit of rapid acceleration followed by sudden braking.
