The reason why the Polo feels like it can't brake effectively may be due to a malfunction in the car's braking system components, causing the braking system to fail. It could also be because the brake pads or brake discs are excessively worn, leading to an increase in the car's braking distance. Here is some additional information: 1. Common braking devices: The common braking devices in cars include drum brakes and disc brakes. Drum brakes have lower manufacturing costs, while disc brakes have better heat dissipation performance and are less prone to brake failure. 2. How brakes work: The working principle of brakes is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving car into frictional heat energy to dissipate it. When braking, the car's brake pedal is pressed, which activates the brake lever, transmitting pressure to the brake shoes on the brake drum, clamping the brake and causing the wheel disc to slow down or stop the car. The most important parts of a car's braking system are the brake pads and brake discs, which need to be replaced regularly.

What are China 5 and China 6 vehicles?

China 5 refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles, abbreviated as China 5 Emission Standards. The China 6 standard is divided into China 6a and China 6b standards. Compared to the China 5 standard, China 6a only requires lower carbon monoxide emissions. The China 6b standard is more stringent than China 5 in all aspects. China 6a serves as a transitional phase from China 5 to China 6, with China 6b expected to be implemented by 2023. Below are the differences between China 5 and China 6: 1. The China 6 standard imposes 40% to 50% stricter emission limits compared to China 5. 2. China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. In contrast, under China 5, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. 3. Compared to China 5, China 6 reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 77% and particulate matter (PM) by 67%. It also introduces a limit on particulate number (PN) and tightens requirements for emission control device durability and on-board diagnostics (OBD). 4. China 6 enforces stricter compliance and regulatory requirements, including type approval and information disclosure, production conformity checks, new vehicle inspections, and in-use compliance checks, while simplifying the compliance determination method.

What does 96w on a tire mean?

The number before 96w on a tire represents the load index, where 96 indicates that each tire can carry a load of 710KG. The following letter represents the speed rating of the tire, with W indicating that the tire's maximum speed is 270 km/h. More related information is as follows: 1. The speed rating of a tire refers to the maximum speed at which the tire is allowed to travel, usually indicated by uppercase letters on the sidewall of the tire. Different letters represent different speed ratings. For example, "L" indicates a maximum allowable speed of 120 km/h, "T" indicates 190 km/h, "V" indicates 240 km/h, and so on. Generally, higher-end vehicles use tires with higher speed ratings. However, typically, the speed rating of the tires equipped on a car is much higher than the car's maximum speed. For instance, a car with a top speed of 185 km/h might be equipped with H-rated tires (240 km/h), while a car with a top speed of 210 km/h might have W-rated tires (270 km/h). 2. The load index of a tire refers to the maximum load that the tire can carry when inflated to the specified pressure. It is usually represented by a number. For example, 91 indicates a maximum load of 615Kg per tire, 96 indicates 710Kg per tire, and 105 indicates 925Kg per tire.

What does the SVS indicator on the car dashboard mean?

SVS indicator light is the engine fault indicator light. Here is more information about SVS: 1. When the SVS light is on, it indicates a fault in the fuel emission system; intake tract fault; spark plug carbon deposit; sensor fault; poor fuel quality; engine carbon deposit; three-way catalytic converter fault; engine knock. 2. When the SVS light is on, you can check whether the oxygen sensor plug is loose; clean the spark plugs; replace the oxygen sensor; replace the three-way catalytic converter; clean the engine; drain the old gasoline from the fuel tank and replace it with high-quality gasoline. 3. SVS, the full English name is Service Vehicle Soon, which translates to "service vehicle as soon as possible." The SVS light is a standard indicator in the automotive industry, responsible for warning of abnormalities in the powertrain system and prompting users to have the vehicle inspected at a service shop. When the powertrain system's self-diagnosis detects an abnormality, it will use the SVS light to prompt the user to have the vehicle inspected. The SVS light alarm may originate from the engine, transmission, or shift control mechanism. When the SVS light flashes, it represents a current fault in the powertrain system, requiring inspection at a service shop; when the SVS light stays on, it represents a historical fault (once occurred) in the powertrain system. In most cases, the historical fault will be automatically repaired by the system, and the SVS light will turn off.

What is the difference between 1.5L and 2.0L engine displacement?

The differences between 1.5L and 2.0L engine displacement are: 1. Different exhaust emissions, with 2.0L displacement vehicles emitting more exhaust than 1.5L displacement vehicles; 2. Different engine power, with 2.0L displacement engines having greater power than 1.5L displacement engines; 3. Different fuel consumption, with 2.0L displacement engines generally consuming more fuel than 1.5L displacement engines. Here is additional information: Compared to 2.0L displacement engines, 1.5L displacement engines have lower maintenance costs in the long run because 2.0L displacement engines have larger volumes, requiring more fluids to support their operation. 1.5L displacement vehicles have weaker initial acceleration but higher fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption around 6L, while 2.0L displacement vehicles have stronger power, leaning towards sportiness, but with relatively higher fuel consumption.
