The maintenance cycle of FAW-Volkswagen Magotan depends on the grade and level of the engine oil used. Different grades of engine oil. Key items: The key items for the first maintenance of a new car are changing the engine oil and oil filter. Therefore, some dealerships may offer significant discounts to sell the vehicles, but basically no one would purchase them. Reason: Since the period before the first maintenance is the running-in period of the vehicle, the gradually running-in engine will continuously mix mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits into the engine oil during operation. Driving at high speeds can lead to abnormal engine wear. If the debris and impurities generated by the engine operation are not removed in time, they may cause abnormal damage to the internal parts of the cylinder.

When I first got my Volkswagen Magotan, the manual stated that the first maintenance should be done at around 10,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. I took it to the dealership for service at 9,500 kilometers, where the technician changed the engine oil and oil filter, cleaned the air filter, and checked the brakes, tires, and lighting system. If you don’t follow the schedule, the oil can degrade and accumulate carbon deposits, leading to increased engine wear, potential shaking, or higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the warranty requires strict adherence to the maintenance plan—missing the first service means you won’t get free repairs for minor issues. I recommend new car owners download an app to set reminders and pay attention to engine sounds after highway driving to ensure no unusual noises. After maintenance, the car feels smoother and safer to drive.

What is the engine idle speed?

Engine idle speed ranges from 1100 to 1500 RPM. The idle condition generally refers to the state where the throttle is completely released and the engine runs naturally. The engine speed in cold condition is usually higher than in warm condition, mainly to allow the engine to heat up quickly and reach normal operating temperature, ensuring good lubrication. Solutions for high or low engine idle speed: 1. Adjust or replace the throttle position sensor; 2. Clean or replace the idle control valve and use a dedicated decoder to perform basic idle speed setting; 3. Clean and check if the fuel injectors meet atomization requirements; 4. Replace the three-way catalytic converter and locate system leaks.

What are the reasons for difficulty in starting a sedan?

Reasons for difficulty in starting a sedan: 1. Poor quality gasoline that does not meet standards; 2. Oxygen sensor failure; 3. Air flow sensor failure; 4. Spark plug carbon buildup; 5. Engine knocking; 6. Damaged water temperature sensor; 7. High-pressure fuel pump damage, leading to engine misfire. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle and an energy conversion device. Its function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Depending on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Equinox?

The minimum ground clearance of the Equinox is 199mm, and it reduces to 170mm when fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the chassis and the ground when the vehicle is carrying its maximum allowed load. This measurement reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain without collision. The Equinox has a body length of 4646mm, width of 1843mm, and height of 1684mm, with a wheelbase of 2725mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm.

What are the reasons for ineffective brakes?

Reasons for ineffective brakes: 1. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal; 2. Insufficient or no oil in the brake master cylinder reservoir; 3. Air entering the brake lines or vaporization of brake fluid causing air resistance; 4. Aging or wear of the master cylinder and wheel cylinder cups leading to poor sealing; 5. Loose or detached vacuum pipe connections of the vacuum booster or power booster; 6. Diaphragm rupture or poor sealing of the sealing ring. In vehicles, braking mainly refers to pressing the brake pedal, which relies on the friction between the brake pads and brake discs to generate resistance, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic transmission model, the brake pedal of a car is controlled by the right foot.

What are the causes of abnormal tire pressure?

Tire pressure abnormalities can be caused by: 1. Air leakage in the tire; 2. Tire pressure being too low or too high. The hazards of abnormal tire pressure include: 1. Accelerated wear, affecting tire lifespan; 2. Increased risk of tire blowouts; 3. Excessive vehicle vibration, leading to loss of shock absorption capability. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power. Generally, a tire pressure value between 2.3 and 2.5 is considered normal. If the car is fully loaded, adjusting the tire pressure to around 2.5 is more suitable; for two passengers, a tire pressure value of 2.3 is also normal.
