The reason why the fuel gauge of Mercedes-Benz C does not drop is that the float in the fuel tank is stuck, and it can be adjusted and repaired. Do not overfill the fuel tank: Overfilling the fuel tank can easily block the vent hole of the fuel tank. Once the vent hole is blocked, the air pressure inside the fuel tank will be lower than normal, causing poor fuel supply or even no fuel supply. Overfilling the fuel tank also increases the weight of the car, thereby increasing fuel consumption. The gasoline may also deteriorate, posing a safety hazard to the car. Try to avoid waiting for the warning to refuel: When driving, always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the pointer shows that there is only a quarter of the fuel left, you should refuel. If the fuel tank is empty for too long, the temperature difference between the inside and outside will be large, and moisture is likely to form inside the fuel tank, which will corrode the fuel tank, affect the fuel quality, and increase the burden on the engine.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz C-Class for five years, and I've also encountered the issue where the fuel gauge doesn't drop. The main cause is the fuel level sensor in the tank getting stuck. This sensor uses a float to detect fuel levels, and after refueling, it might stick to the tank wall, showing a full reading continuously. Another possibility is a malfunctioning dashboard or a blown fuse, with circuit aging causing signal interruptions. Don't underestimate this issue—suddenly running out of fuel on the highway is extremely dangerous. When I discovered this, I went straight to the dealership for a check-up. The technician used a computer diagnostic tool to identify the problem and fixed it by replacing a small part. I recommend not filling the tank too full to reduce the risk of sticking and having the technician test the fuel gauge system during regular maintenance to avoid major issues. Mercedes-Benz cars are high-quality, but their electronic components also require maintenance.

Does the repair of the radiator support affect the car?

Yes, it does. The impacts of repairing the car's radiator support are as follows: Introduction: Damage to the radiator support indicates that the front part of the car has been involved in an accident. Generally, if the radiator support is damaged, it means the bumper, crash beam, radiator, grille, headlights, and hood are also affected. Some radiator supports are welded components, and after replacement, they leave obvious marks, which greatly affect the appraisal of used cars. In frontal accidents, the frame rails are easily damaged. Even if some cars do not have their frame rails repaired, the impact shockwaves can cause one side of the frame rail to collapse, which is not visible externally but significantly affects the vehicle's handling. Extension: The car's radiator support is the frame for the radiator, installed at the front of the car to secure the radiator. The radiator support is an important component of the car, and the part that secures the hood latch when the hood is opened is the radiator support.

What is the fuel consumption of the New Bora 1.5L Automatic Comfort model?

New Bora 1.5L Automatic Comfort model has a fuel consumption of approximately 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Definition of fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Different cars inherently have different fuel consumption levels. Generally, SUVs have higher fuel consumption than ordinary sedans. When buying a car, you can choose a model with relatively low fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is related to engine displacement. A car with a 1.0L displacement has a fuel consumption of about 5 liters per 100 kilometers; cars with 1.5-1.6L displacement have a fuel consumption of about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. This is just a reference value, and the specific situation depends on the actual vehicle.

How many cylinders does the Chery 5x engine have?

Chery 5x is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine. Number of engine cylinders: Common cylinder configurations for automotive engines include 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cylinders. With the same cylinder bore diameter, more cylinders mean larger displacement and higher power output. At the same displacement level, more cylinders allow for smaller bore diameters, enabling higher engine speeds and thus achieving greater power enhancement. Displacement to cylinder count correspondence: Engines with 1-liter to 1.5-liter displacement typically use 3 cylinders, 2.0-liter engines are generally 4-cylinder, 2.5-liter engines use 5 cylinders, around 3-liter displacement engines usually have 6 cylinders, approximately 4-liter engines employ 8 cylinders, 5.2-liter engines use 10 cylinders, and engines above 5.5 liters utilize 12 cylinders.
