The 2018 Volkswagen Bora comes in 8 models with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. It offers 2 engine options: 1.4T and 1.5L, and 3 transmission choices: dual-clutch, manual, and automatic. The engine delivers a maximum power of 96.0 kW, maximum horsepower of 131 PS, and maximum torque of 225.0 N·m. The vehicle dimensions are 4562×1793×1468 mm (length×width×height). For reference, the 2020 and 2021 Bora models have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2019 Bora retains the 55-liter capacity. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified capacity is measured from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means sufficient fuel.

Speaking of the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Bora 2018 model, I remember it's 55 liters, which is quite reasonable for daily driving. I drive this car myself, and with a full tank, it can run about 600 to 700 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. In city traffic with congestion, fuel consumption is slightly higher, but it's very fuel-efficient on highways. I enjoy weekend road trips, and the 55-liter capacity is just right to avoid frequent refueling stops—filling up every two weeks is enough. When refueling, I prefer using official Sinopec gas stations to avoid damaging the fuel system with low-quality fuel. The fuel tank is located under the chassis, so you need to be careful not to scrape it when driving over rough roads. Regular maintenance of the fuel system is essential, such as cleaning the fuel filter to extend its lifespan. Overall, this design balances practicality and economy, making it suitable for drivers who enjoy long-distance trips.

What are the components of an electronically controlled fuel injection system?

Here is a detailed introduction to the components of an electronically controlled fuel injection system: 1. Air path: Air supply system. 2. Fuel path: Fuel supply system. 3. Electrical path: Control system. Below is additional information about the electronically controlled fuel injection system: 1. Alternative name: The full name is Electronic Control Fuel Injection System, commonly known as gasoline injection. 2. System: The electronically controlled fuel injection system is a system where the Engine Control Unit (ECU) controls the fuel injection timing, injection pulse width, and injection pattern of a gasoline engine. Due to the high volatility of gasoline, it is easy to form a homogeneous combustible mixture outside the cylinder. Therefore, the carburetor supply method installed on the intake manifold was used. However, this fuel supply system could not precisely control the air-fuel ratio of the mixture under different operating conditions, and thus, it has been replaced by the electronically controlled gasoline injection method.

What to Use to Clean Spark Plugs?

Using carburetor cleaner to clean spark plugs is recommended. Carburetor cleaner is specifically designed for oil, grease, and carbon deposits, effectively removing carbon buildup without damaging the spark plugs. If spark plugs are damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty in starting, affecting the normal use of the vehicle. Severe erosion of spark plugs, such as pitting, damage, or melting and erosion of the electrodes, indicates that the spark plugs are ruined and should be replaced. Spark Plug Location: Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables. Over the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug. Spark Plug Replacement Interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. Typically, platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Can the position lights and low beam be turned on simultaneously?

Position lights and low beam can be turned on simultaneously. When the low beam is activated, the position lights are also turned on by default. In other words, when the low beam is turned on, the position lights are necessarily activated at the same time. If you want the position lights to be turned on alone, you don't need to turn on the low beam, which is a design feature of the car from the beginning. The low beam and high beam are used at night when driving requires headlight illumination and position lights to display the vehicle's outline. Position lights are used in low visibility conditions such as dusk, dawn, rainy days, or foggy weather, when it's not necessary to turn on the low beam. The main function of the low beam is illumination, while the position lights serve as a warning signal without providing illumination, falling under the category of signal lights. This is also a significant difference between position lights and low beam.

What is the difference between position lights and low beam headlights?

The difference between position lights and low beam headlights lies in their functions: position lights serve as a warning signal but do not provide illumination; low beam headlights are designed for close-range lighting, featuring a wide coverage area, short illumination distance, and non-adjustable focus. Position lights are installed at the highest points of the front and rear of a vehicle, primarily used during dusk, night, overcast, or foggy conditions to indicate the vehicle's width and height. Low beam headlights are intended for close-range lighting, with design requirements emphasizing broad coverage, short illumination distance, and fixed focus. Article 48 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that on roads without central barriers or center lines, drivers must switch to low beam headlights when meeting oncoming vehicles at a distance of 150 meters or more. Additionally, low beam headlights should be used when encountering non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, while position lights should be turned on during evening driving to enhance visibility for other vehicles.

What Causes a Gasoline Engine to Emit Black Smoke?

Here are the reasons why a gasoline engine emits black smoke: 1. Wear of piston rings, cylinder liners, etc. Wear leads to insufficient compression pressure, altering the normal air-fuel mixture ratio at the end of compression. This causes carbon deposits during combustion, resulting in a large amount of black smoke in the exhaust. 2. Changes in the combustion chamber shape. Altered combustion chamber shape worsens fuel combustion conditions. 3. Poor injector performance. Near the end of diesel injection, reduced injection pressure and poor atomization quality, along with short evaporation and combustion time of fuel droplets and low surrounding oxygen concentration, easily lead to soot formation. 4. Excessive fuel supply. Too much fuel in the cylinder creates a rich mixture (more fuel, less air), leading to incomplete combustion.
