The fuel tank capacity of the Magotan is 70 liters, while the 2019 model has a 66-liter tank. The fuel tank volume determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the larger the fuel tank, the farther the car can travel. Owners often estimate the fuel tank capacity based on when the fuel warning light comes on, but this method is not accurate. Generally, due to various factors such as road conditions and driving conditions, the remaining fuel capacity when the warning light comes on may vary each time. The Magotan's body dimensions are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Volkswagen New Magotan is equipped with two types of engines depending on the model configuration: the EA211 and the EA888.

I drive a 2019 Magotan with a 66-liter fuel tank, which is sufficient for daily use. A full tank lasts nearly half a month for commuting, and even on aggressive highway driving, it can cover around 800 kilometers. I make it a habit to refuel when the fuel light comes on, avoiding waiting until the needle hits empty to prevent damaging the fuel pump. Last month, I drove from Hangzhou to Huangshan and back on a single tank without needing a refill. However, a larger tank has its drawbacks—like in summer when the car is parked under the sun, you need to wait a bit longer after the pump automatically stops to avoid fuel overflow. The tank capacity remains consistent across different model years and engine sizes, with both older and newer versions maintaining the reliable 66-liter specification.

Do modern cars still need to be warmed up before driving in winter?

Modern cars still need to be warmed up before driving in winter. Since winter temperatures are much lower than other seasons, the engine warms up relatively slower. After starting the vehicle, friction occurs between the engine and various moving parts. If these components suddenly operate at high speeds, prolonged exposure to such conditions may cause damage. Therefore, warming up the car is essential. Here's the correct way to warm up your car in winter: After starting the vehicle, drive at low speeds. This prevents unlubricated components from undergoing intense operation that could lead to damage. During this time, simply maintain the engine speed at around 2000 RPM, and wait until the engine coolant reaches normal operating temperature before driving normally.

What should be paid attention to when repairing the differential?

When repairing the differential, the following points should be noted: 1. First remove the oil filler hole screw and drain the lubricating oil inside the differential; 2. Use a hex wrench to first remove the small pressure cover, take off the bearing snap ring on the pulley seat, use a puller to remove the belt pulley, and then remove the pulley seat; then use the hex wrench to remove the left end cover of the differential, use a pry bar to take out the first-stage planetary carrier, then remove the first and second-stage differential housing, remove the right end cover, and take out the third-stage and second-stage planetary carriers; 3. Disassemble the first, second, and third-stage planetary carriers separately, clean and inspect all gears, bearings, and the inner sleeves of the planetary carriers. The surfaces should be free of wear, and the bearing clearance should be kept within the fixed range. If there is any wear, they must be replaced; 4. Clean and inspect. After disassembly, the differential housing and planetary gears must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure normal meshing between the gears; 5. During the disassembly and repair of the differential, hammering or striking is not allowed. The integrity of the parts must be ensured. If necessary, a copper hammer or copper rod can be used; 6. The platform for repairing the differential must be covered with a rubber mat to prevent hard contact between parts.

Which is Faster: Automatic or Manual Transmission?

Whether a manual transmission accelerates faster than an automatic transmission depends on the specific type of transmission: 1. CVT transmission: Manual transmission accelerates faster than automatic. 2. Dual-clutch transmission: Automatic transmission accelerates faster than manual. Below are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Different levels of operational difficulty: Manual transmissions are suitable for skilled drivers; automatic transmissions are suitable for beginners. 2. Different structures: Manual transmissions have a clutch; automatic transmissions do not. 3. Characteristics of manual transmissions: Quick response, stable performance, good fuel economy, and strong power. 4. Characteristics of automatic transmissions: Extends the lifespan of components, improves vehicle performance, and reduces air pollution.

Should Vehicle Maintenance Be Based on Mileage or Time?

Whether to perform maintenance based on time or mileage generally follows the principle of whichever comes first. There is no fixed answer, as car owners need to analyze their vehicle's specific conditions to determine the optimal approach. Here is a brief introduction to vehicle maintenance: (1) Routine Maintenance: Typically performed every 5,000KM (or 7,500KM for some models), it mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, inspecting the fuel filter (many modern vehicles no longer have one), and checking the air filter—replacing them if excessively dirty. Additionally, each maintenance session must include an inspection of the brake discs and pads for potential replacement, checking the brake fluid level, and assessing tire conditions to ensure safety. (2) Periodic Maintenance: Usually conducted every 3 years or every 40,000KM. Beyond routine maintenance, it includes cleaning the fuel injectors, throttle body, and the vehicle's intake system. Furthermore, it requires replacing transmission fluid, front and rear axle oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Tire wear should also be inspected, with replacements made if necessary. (3) Major Maintenance: Typically occurs after the vehicle has traveled 100,000KM, involving a comprehensive inspection and replacement of parts as needed. Special attention should be paid to the wiring (electrical circuits) and transmission mechanisms during this phase.

What Are the Reasons for No Hot Air in a Car?

Car no hot air reasons are as follows: 1. Thermostat failure, causing the cooling system to prematurely enter a large circulation cycle resulting in no hot air. 2. Dirty or clogged air filter, affecting the effectiveness of the hot air. 3. Broken heater control button, unable to transmit the corresponding hot air supply signal, leading to no warm air. 4. Clogged heater core, preventing coolant from passing through the small radiator resulting in no hot air. Below is the principle of car hot air: When the car air conditioning is heating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core. At this time, the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing the car air conditioning vents to blow out warm air.

What does VSC on a car mean?

The VSC on a car refers to Vehicle Stability Control, which translates to Body Stability Control System in Chinese. It is an active safety system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation, consisting of a converter composed of devices with turn-off capability (such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT)). The VSC system has three main features: (1) Real-time monitoring: The VSC system can monitor the driver's control actions (steering, braking, throttle, etc.), road conditions, and the vehicle's motion status in real time, and continuously sends commands to the engine and braking system. (2) Active intervention: Safety technologies like ABS mainly intervene in the driver's actions but cannot regulate the engine. The VSC system, however, can actively adjust the engine throttle to control engine speed and adjust the driving and braking forces on each wheel to correct oversteering and understeering. (3) Prior warning: When the driver operates improperly or the road conditions are abnormal, the VSC system will alert the driver with a warning light.
