You should replace the engine oil and filter, and check/replace the brake pads. Below are relevant details about car maintenance: 1. First Maintenance: Some manufacturers determine the first maintenance based on time or mileage. The exact timing should be referred to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is very important and free, so make sure to have it done to avoid missing it, which could affect the car's three-year warranty. 2. Maintenance Items: The main maintenance items for a car include replacing engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced every time; it depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves inspecting and servicing dozens of items across multiple systems such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

How Many Kilometers Should the Timing Chain of the Tiguan Be Replaced?

The timing chain of the Tiguan should be replaced every 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers. During this period, owners should have it inspected at a professional repair shop. If the timing chain is severely worn or if there are other engine issues, timely repair or replacement is necessary. The timing chain drive method is reliable, durable, and space-saving. Its main function is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. Signs of timing chain failure include unusual engine noises, difficulty starting, increased fuel consumption, increased oil consumption, severe exhaust emissions, sluggish acceleration, the engine's yellow warning light, and insufficient power, among other issues. Methods for inspecting the timing chain: Check the timing chain for elongation, wear, or breakage. If there is minor damage, replace it immediately. Use a spring scale to measure the elongation at three or more points. If it exceeds the specified length, replace it promptly.

What Counts as a Small Displacement?

1.0 liters is considered a small displacement. Definition of small displacement: Small-displacement vehicles typically refer to "mini cars" with an engine displacement around 1.0 liters, whose fuel consumption is generally below 5 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to sedans with a displacement of around 1.4 liters, they save approximately 4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Energy-saving and environmental benefits of small-displacement vehicles: Taking an average family car driving 2,000 kilometers per month as an example, a small-displacement vehicle can save nearly a thousand liters of fuel annually. Small-displacement cars are economical, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. With the increasing tension in energy resources and the potential for further gasoline price hikes, it is an indisputable fact that small-displacement vehicles conserve energy. Small-displacement cars can be considered the best urban vehicles—they are affordable, generally priced below 80,000 yuan, within the financial reach of most families. Additionally, they help reduce manufacturing material costs.

Is it safe to drive on the highway with a tire pressure of 270 bar?

Tire pressure of 270 bar is acceptable for highway driving. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, which is essentially the 'blood pressure' of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle, as it is an indicator of the car's load capacity. The load a car can carry depends on the tire pressure. Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates uneven wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car while driving; 6. Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 7. Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling.
