Engine guards made of aluminum alloy are preferable. Different types of guard materials have fundamentally distinct characteristics. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Composition: Engine guards are generally made of hard plastic, resin, iron, or aluminum alloy. 2. Classification: Aluminum alloy guards: The most cost-effective option, lightweight, high strength, and affordable, making them one of the top choices for consumers. Plastic guards: Low manufacturing cost and the lightest in weight. Plastic-steel and steel types: Mostly used on high-intensity off-road vehicles. Installing these types of guards on ordinary cars and urban SUVs may instead increase fuel consumption.

Does Volkswagen cars burn engine oil?

Volkswagen cars do burn engine oil. This happens because the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder block is too large, allowing engine oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn. Volkswagen designs its engines to reduce friction between the piston rings and the cylinder walls to protect the engine and extend its lifespan. This creates an oil film on the cylinder walls, some of which burns off with the high-temperature combustion gases. Here are the reasons for burning engine oil: 1. Domestic fuel (including gasoline and engine oil) tends to produce carbon deposits. 2. Carbon deposits cause the piston rings to stick, losing their oil-scraping function; the oil return holes get blocked, preventing the engine oil from returning to the crankcase normally. 3. Wear between the cylinder walls and pistons leads to excessive gaps. 4. Corrosion and aging of valve seals and crankshaft seals result in oil leakage.

What is the installation direction of the air filter element?

The installation direction of the air filter element is: there will be a small arrow on the side of the filter element, and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of airflow. The air filter element is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air filter, primarily used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. During operation, the engine needs to draw in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air will be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring," which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter element is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders.

How to Distinguish Imported Cars from Domestic Cars?

There are many methods to distinguish imported cars from domestic cars. Below is a detailed introduction to domestic and imported cars: 1. Identification methods: Some brand models do not have domestic versions, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc. For the same model, check the rear of the car—those with Chinese characters are domestic, while those with English are imported. Look at the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is a 17-digit code. Vehicles whose VIN does not start with the letter 'L' are all imported. 2. Configuration differences: Some cars retain only the same exterior and interior design when produced domestically, while simplifying some less visible components. This is more common in lower-priced cars to reduce costs. For example, replacing lenses and xenon headlights with halogen ones, reducing hardware specifications, changing aluminum parts in the chassis to cast iron, and canceling S-line sport packages, etc.
