The reason for the Citroen C-Quatre shaking and stalling during cold starts is severe carbon buildup. It is recommended that the owner go to a 4S shop to check the specific location of the carbon buildup and have it cleaned to resolve the issue. The Citroen C-Quatre is a model name launched by Dongfeng Citroen, equipped with a 2.0L 16V engine that uses VVT variable valve timing technology, with a maximum torque of 200NM. In terms of body dimensions, the Citroen C-Quatre measures 4282mm in length, 1773mm in width, and 1483mm in height. The hatchback version of the Citroen C-Quatre offers four model choices: Xuan Ya, Jin Ya, Yue Ya, and Bo Ya, while the sedan version provides five model options: Fashion, Rui Shang, Comfort, Zun Xiang, and Luxury.

How much fuel does a vehicle consume per hour at idle?

Vehicle idle fuel consumption is approximately 1-2 liters per hour. Here are the specific details about car idling: 1. The idle condition of a car is designed to overcome internal engine resistance. When the vehicle remains stationary while the engine is still running, it enters idle mode. 2. During this state, the engine operates at lower RPM with reduced air intake, requiring a richer air-fuel mixture to maintain operation. 3. Based on current average vehicle displacements of 1.5-1.8 liters, hourly idle fuel consumption ranges between 1-2 liters. 4. Additionally, if air conditioning is used during summer, idle fuel consumption will increase further. 5. Typical gasoline vehicles idle at around 800 RPM, while diesel vehicles idle at approximately 500 RPM. Vehicles with larger displacements consume more fuel per hour at idle. 6. Therefore, when waiting for extended periods, it's advisable to turn off the engine rather than maintaining prolonged idling. Extended idling not only increases fuel consumption but also leads to incomplete combustion and carbon buildup.

What to Do When a C1 License Accumulates 12 Deduction Points?

C1 license holders who accumulate 12 deduction points within a single scoring cycle will have their motor vehicle driving license confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the location where the violation occurred within 15 days to attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the course, the vehicle management office must administer a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the driver passes the test, the deduction points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driving license will be returned.

What to Do If There's a Gap in the Jetta Shock Absorber Top Mount?

If the gap in the Jetta shock absorber top mount is too large, it needs to be replaced. Generally, a gap (20mm) in the front shock absorber top mount is normal. An excessively large gap can cause abnormal noises in the vehicle's shock absorption, while an excessively small gap can make the shock absorption too stiff, affecting the driving experience. Symptoms of a damaged shock absorber top mount include: 1. Reduced comfort, with particularly noticeable thumping sounds when going over bumps and speed bumps, indicating shock absorber issues. 2. Increased tire noise, with severe cases producing a rumbling sound. 3. Steering becomes misaligned, with the steering wheel deviating when driving straight, and the vehicle not moving straight even when the wheel is centered. 4. Squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel while stationary, and in severe cases, causing the vehicle to veer off course while driving.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise from the Atenza's B-Pillar?

Here are the solutions for abnormal noise from the B-pillar area of the Mazda Atenza while driving: 1. Re-secure the drain pipe clip: Since the sunroof drain pipe is located in the B-pillar, if the clip fails to secure or doesn't hold the pipe properly, it may cause noise during driving. Simply re-securing the clip can resolve the issue. 2. Replace the clip: The interior components on the B-pillar are secured in place using clips and mounting parts. When the clips are not tight enough or missing, abnormal noise may occur. 3. Replace the components: There are two adjacent interior components on the B-pillar. When driving or on bumpy roads, displacement of these parts or material issues can lead to noise, which generally can only be resolved by replacing the components.

How to Read Tire Specification Parameters?

Automobile tire specifications can be identified through the markings on the sidewall. Below is a detailed introduction to tire parameters: 1. The 3T Index of tires refers to the Treadwear Index, Traction Index, and Temperature Index. 2. Treadwear-220 indicates the tire's treadwear index is 220. Generally, a treadwear index between 280-320 is considered moderate. The higher the number, the more wear-resistant the tire. More wear-resistant tires tend to be harder, noisier, and less comfortable. 3. Traction-A indicates the traction index is Grade A, which proves strong grip. 4. Temperature-A indicates the tire's temperature grade is A, the highest level, meaning the tire has the best structural stability at high speeds. 5. The structural parameters of heavy tires mainly refer to the number of steel belt layers, cord layers, and nylon layers in the tread and sidewall. More layers indicate higher tire strength and lower probability of blowouts or punctures.
