2021 Passat has a fuel tank capacity of 68.5 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2021 Passat requires 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.8 to 6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 1022 to 1181 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel inside the tank to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

The 2021 Passat has a fuel tank capacity of 68.5 liters, which is highly practical for long-distance driving as it provides a range of approximately 800 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption around 8L/100km. As a veteran driver with ten years of experience, I find this capacity well-balanced, reducing the hassle of frequent refueling. Especially on highways, the large tank saves time by minimizing stops, similar to the design of its counterpart, the Magotan. It's advisable to fill up the tank before long trips but avoid overfilling to prevent spillage. Additionally, maintaining tires and the engine can optimize fuel efficiency, making refueling more convenient. Overall, this capacity strikes a good balance between economy and convenience, making it ideal for frequent business travelers or road trip enthusiasts.

Why Can't the Motorcycle Key Be Inserted?

The reason is that the ignition lock cylinder is stuck and needs to be replaced with a new one. Below is a detailed introduction to the motorcycle ignition lock: 1. Overview: The motorcycle ignition lock and steering lock are also wafer locks, with a structure and unlocking principle identical to car door locks, mostly using 5-tumbler keys. Additionally, it comes with a steering lock, which, together with the ignition lock, forms a dual-lock system operated by the same key. 2. Working Principle: To lock these two locks, simply turn the key counterclockwise by 180 degrees; turning the lock cylinder clockwise by 180 degrees unlocks them. When locked, the handlebar cannot be freely rotated.

What kind of adhesive can be used to bond automotive sealing strips?

Automotive sealing strips can be bonded using rubber-specific adhesive. Here are detailed introductions about automotive sealing strips: Introduction: Automotive sealing strips are one of the important components of a vehicle, widely used in doors, windows, body, sunroof, engine compartment, and trunk (luggage compartment). They serve functions such as sound insulation, dust prevention, water leakage prevention, and shock absorption, maintaining and preserving the interior micro-environment of the vehicle. Thus, they play a crucial protective role for passengers, mechanical and electrical devices, and accessories inside the vehicle. Development: With the advancement of the automotive industry, the importance of the aesthetic, environmental, and comfort functions of sealing strips has become increasingly prominent. The international automotive industry now refers to the sealing systems installed in various parts of a vehicle as the automotive sealing system.

What Causes Severe Overheating in Cars?

Severe overheating in cars can be attributed to the following reasons: Battery overheating: The efficiency of converting electrical energy into chemical energy is 50%, with most of the remaining 50% released as heat, causing the battery to overheat. Batteries have internal resistance, which increases as the charge decreases. According to P=I×I×R, the power consumed by internal resistance is also converted into heat, leading to battery overheating. Continuous charging: After the battery is fully charged, continued charging means that electrical energy is almost no longer converted into chemical energy but almost entirely into heat, causing the battery to overheat. Additional information: Precautions: If severe battery overheating occurs, it indicates self-discharge and overheating, suggesting an internal short circuit in the battery's plates, meaning the battery has reached its end-of-life limit.

What does GCU-R fault mean?

GCU-R fault means relay sticking/short circuit or overload, just replace it with a new one. The following is a detailed introduction to automotive relays: 1. Function: The basic function of an automotive relay is to use small current to control large current operation as an "automatic switch". It plays roles in automatic regulation, safety protection, circuit conversion, switching, etc. in circuits. 2. Selection by usage environment: The usage environment conditions mainly refer to temperature (maximum and minimum), humidity (generally refers to the maximum relative humidity at 40 degrees Celsius), low air pressure (can be ignored below 1000 meters altitude), vibration and impact. In addition, there are requirements for packaging methods, installation methods, dimensions and insulation. Due to different materials and structures, relays can withstand different environmental mechanical conditions. Using beyond the product standard's specified environmental mechanical conditions may damage the relay. Select according to the equipment's environmental mechanical conditions or higher conditions.
