The Volkswagen Golf 7 has been upgraded across the entire lineup to Volkswagen's latest EA211 powertrain system, offering three engine options: a 1.6L engine, a 1.4TSI standard power version engine, and a 1.4TSI high-power version engine. More details about the Golf 7 are as follows: 1. The Golf 7 is equipped with the EA211 series 1.6L and 1.4T engines. While the displacement remains the same as the Golf 6, the power parameters of these two engines have changed. The 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 81 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The 1.4TSI engine comes in two different tuning levels: a low-power version with a maximum power of 96 kW and a peak torque of 225 Nm, and a high-power version used in the top-tier 1.4TSI flagship model, which delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, approaching the power level of the EA888 series 1.8TSI engine.

I've been driving Volkswagen Gol for many years, starting from the old models in the 1990s up to now. I remember the early 1.8L engine had decent horsepower but high fuel consumption. Later came the 1.6L 8-valve model which ran smoother and was more fuel-efficient. After 2000, the 1.0L MPI model became popular with its 1000cc displacement, being very economical for daily driving. Nowadays the common version is the 1.6L Total Flex that supports ethanol and gasoline mixed fuel, offering great flexibility. Recently I tried a friend's Gol with the 1.0 TSI turbocharged version - the acceleration was amazing. If choosing a model, I'd suggest selecting based on the year and usage. Older cars tend to have more minor issues requiring frequent repairs, while newer models are more reliable. Overall, the Gol's engine design is simple with low maintenance costs, making it suitable for urban commuting or family use. Regular check-ups and maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan.

I recently researched the new Volkswagen Gol models and found the engine configurations quite diverse. The current mainstream option is the 1.0-liter three-cylinder variant, with the base model being lightweight and fuel-efficient, ideal for beginners or those on a tight budget. The upgraded version is the 1.6-liter Total Flex, with a displacement of 1600cc, capable of automatic fuel switching, achieving an actual fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving. The high-performance 1.0 TSI turbocharged model is particularly appealing, offering strong power and quick response, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of under 10 seconds. Comparing models from different years, early versions had some issues like slow starts due to aging fuel systems, but newer versions have been improved for greater durability. For those considering buying a Gol, it's advisable to prioritize local models, as the differences between Brazilian and Central/South American versions are minor. Regular oil changes during driving can help extend the engine's lifespan.

During car repairs, I've seen various Golf engines, with the most common being the 1.0L and 1.6L models. The basic 1.0MPI version is simple and easy to repair, with low costs but occasional water pump leakage issues. The 1.6TotalFlex features multi-fuel capability, is slightly more troublesome to maintain, but has a low failure rate. Buyers are advised to check the engine number prefix, such as AP indicating the classic version. Don't skimp on regular maintenance; replace the air filter promptly to avoid carbon buildup. For older cars, simply replacing the spark plugs can restore power, saving on major repair costs.

What does ETC on the highway refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station, the bank's back-end settlement processing is carried out using software networking technology, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through the toll station without stopping to pay the toll. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal; Postal credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to the designated postal outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no charges during the process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle; The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Excessive speed may prevent the vehicle device information from being read, resulting in failed toll deduction; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.

What does the CANCEL button in the car mean?

It is the cruise control deactivation switch. The introduction of cruise control function buttons is as follows: 1. ON/OFF button – Cruise control switch: (1) When pressing the ON/OFF button, the CRUISE/MAIN indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge illuminates. The cruise control system activates, ready to receive speed setting operations. (2) Pressing the ON/OFF button again turns off the CRUISE/MAIN indicator light. The cruise control system deactivates. 2. SET/COAST button – Speed setting/deceleration control switch (operational above 30 km/h): (1) While driving, pressing the SET/COAST button sets the current speed, and the CRUISE indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge illuminates. Release the accelerator to maintain the set speed. (2) During cruise control, pressing the SET/COAST button again decreases speed by 1.6 km/h per press. (3) Holding the SET/COAST button during cruise control gradually reduces speed. 3. RES/ACCEL button – Acceleration setting/acceleration control switch (operational above 30 km/h): (1) During cruise control, pressing the RES/ACCEL button increases speed by 1.6 km/h per press. (2) Holding the RES/ACCEL button during cruise control continuously increases speed. (3) During cruise control, pressing the CANCEL button temporarily deactivates cruise control. Pressing the RES/ACCEL button again causes rapid acceleration to the previously set cruise speed. 4. CANCEL button – Cruise control deactivation switch: Pressing the CANCEL button during cruise control temporarily deactivates the system, turning off the CRUISE indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used in Summer?

In summer, 10W40 or 10W30 engine oil is generally recommended, as the oil type is clearly labeled on the bottle. When using your vehicle in summer, ensure proper lubrication while selecting engine oil with the lowest possible viscosity based on the temperature range, engine temperature, and actual vehicle condition. For engines in good condition with minimal wear, a lower viscosity oil is suitable. For engines with significant wear and larger clearances, a slightly higher viscosity oil may be appropriate. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption.

What is the equivalent Chinese emission standard for Euro 3?

Euro 3 emission standard is equivalent to China's National III emission standard. The National III emission standard is the abbreviation for the third phase of China's national emission standards. Vehicle emissions refer to harmful gases discharged from exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC plus NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), PM (particulates, soot), etc., all of which are harmful gases produced during engine combustion. The European standards are implemented through the emission regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) and the emission directives of the European Economic Community (EEC). The EEC is now the European Union (EU), where emission regulations are voluntarily recognized by ECE member countries, while emission directives are mandatory for EEC or EU member countries.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Squeak When Turning?

The reasons for squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel are as follows: 1. Friction between plastic components. As temperatures drop, plastic hardens, potentially causing friction noises. 2. Abnormal sounds from the steering wheel airbag clock spring. 3. Aging of the tie rod end ball joint, which can cause steering wheel vibration and noise. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar; loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings will not only produce sounds when turning the steering wheel but also when driving over uneven roads. 5. Noise from the shock absorber top bearing. 6. Steering gear malfunction; excessive gear clearance in the steering gear causes abnormal sounds. 7. Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt.
