For family cars, an engine power between 1.0 to 1.5 is generally considered appropriate and economical. Engine: 2.0T engine, maximum power 245~254ps, maximum torque 350~370Nm. Common View: The current power standard of 2.0T engines is sufficient to meet the daily travel needs of most people. Basically, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 7 seconds, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of about 8-10 liters. Below 150 km/h, there is no feeling of insufficient acceleration. As long as you are willing to floor the throttle, overtaking on urban roads is effortless. Higher power would be wasteful, consume more fuel, and make it harder to meet environmental emission standards; lower power would be inadequate in critical moments. This is a relatively balanced power solution that takes various factors into account.

What Causes a Car to Suddenly Emit Black Smoke?

There are several situations where a car engine emits black smoke: 1. The air filter is clogged. 2. The fuel injector is faulty, such as poor atomization, leakage, or excessively high fuel injection pressure. 3. The fuel system pressure is too high, such as a blocked return pipe, excessive fuel supply, or a faulty regulator. 4. Air leakage. 5. Reduced vacuum. 6. The ignition system has too low energy, such as weak spark plug firing leading to carbon buildup, which affects combustion quality. 7. Poor valve sealing, causing internal leakage. 8. Improper valve clearance adjustment. 9. Excessive clearance between the cylinder and piston. 10. Poor grounding, such as the engine ground wire. There are many reasons for black smoke from the exhaust pipe, often involving mechanical, fuel supply, intake, and electronic control systems. Before troubleshooting, it is necessary to analyze the direct or indirect impact of the above systems on black smoke and high fuel consumption faults, while paying attention to their internal relationships, so that troubleshooting can be targeted.

What is the reason for not being able to start the car with a jump start?

If the car still cannot start after a jump start, it may be because the battery is severely depleted and the charging time is insufficient. You can let the rescue vehicle run for a while, wait for about 10 minutes, and then try starting the depleted vehicle. After a successful start, let the depleted vehicle run for about 30 minutes to allow the alternator to charge the battery. If it still cannot start, consider the possibility of a starter motor failure. Below are the steps for jump-starting a car: 1. When performing a jump start, use dedicated car jumper cables. Never use homemade cables or poor-quality jumper cables for a jump start. 2. When connecting the cables, follow the correct order: connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal. Also, make sure the positive and negative cable clamps do not touch each other, and ensure the positive cable clamp does not come into contact with any metal parts of the vehicle. 3. Before jump-starting, turn off all electrical devices in the depleted vehicle to avoid accidentally reversing the battery terminals, which could cause a short circuit and damage the vehicle's electronic components. 4. After successfully starting the depleted vehicle, be careful when removing the jumper cables. It is best to remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable, to avoid causing a short circuit.

What kind of engine oil is best for FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar?

FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is best suited for engine oil with the specification 5W40, and the recommended brand is Castrol Magnetec. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose from brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, and Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop and allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

What are the reasons for car shaking after starting?

Here are the reasons for car shaking after starting: 1. Low ignition energy. 2. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures. 3. Fuel requires higher ignition energy. 4. After prolonged use of the vehicle, the spark plug ignition gap becomes larger. 5. Severe engine carbon buildup. 6. Poor performance of the ignition system, with unsatisfactory spark plug firing. 7. Unstable oil pressure. Here are the solutions for car shaking after starting: 1. If it's not possible to disassemble the intake tract for cleaning, use a no-disassembly fuel system cleaning device for cleaning, although the effect is not as ideal as disassembly. 2. It is recommended to replace the spark plugs. Depending on the situation, you can clean the spark plugs or adjust the spark plug gap for continued use. If they are not in good condition, replacement is necessary.

Is it normal for the side of a tire to feel indented?

It is normal for the side of a tire to feel indented. The straight-line indentation on the tire sidewall is caused by the overlap of the carcass ply joints. The carcass ply joints occur where the carcass material overlaps at the connection points. These joints reinforce the carcass locally, and when the tire is inflated, this area expands less than the surrounding areas without joints, resulting in the indentation. Below is additional information about tires: 1. A tire is a circular elastic rubber product installed on various vehicles or machinery to make contact with the ground and roll. 2. Mounted on metal rims, tires support the vehicle body, absorb external impacts, ensure contact with the ground, and maintain driving performance. 3. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and shock absorption. Additionally, they must exhibit high wear resistance, flexibility, and low rolling resistance with minimal heat generation.

What are the symptoms of a faulty plain bearing?

When a plain bearing is faulty, the following symptoms may occur: 1. A "click-click-click" noise when turning the steering wheel. 2. A "thud-thud-thud" sound when turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds. 3. Vibration in the steering wheel, increased steering effort, and noticeably louder tire noise while driving. In severe cases, a "humming" sound may be heard. 4. Noise when passing over speed bumps, vehicle pulling to one side, damage to the steering system, and damage to the suspension system. 5. Poor quality bearing materials and insufficient surface treatment hardness. The first part to fail is the area marked in the red circle, as it is the weakest point.
