Solutions for scratches on the tire sidewall are as follows: 1. If the scratch on the tire sidewall is not severe and has not damaged the tire's cord layer, it may not be a big issue even if left unrepaired. 2. Of course, if you're still concerned, you can go directly to an auto repair shop to patch the damaged area and redo the wheel balancing. A properly patched tire will perform almost as well as before the scratch. 3. However, if the scratch has reached the cord layer inside the sidewall, the tire should generally be scrapped immediately to avoid potential safety hazards. In summary, scratches on the tire sidewall directly impact driving safety and should never be ignored.

What to do if the fuel float is stuck?

The solutions for a stuck fuel float: 1. Drive on a bumpy road, which will cause the fuel in the car to slosh around, and the stuck fuel float may become unstuck after the jostling; 2. Fill the fuel tank completely, as the rising fuel level can naturally free the stuck float, or add a fuel additive to the tank to dissolve any deposits. The car's fuel level sensor, also known as the fuel float, floats on the surface of the fuel layer. Using the lever principle, the other end of the float is connected to a potentiometer. The amount of fuel determines the height of the float, and the potentiometer changes its position according to the fuel level, which is then displayed on the dashboard.

Is the new Sylphy fuel-efficient?

The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption report for the new Sylphy is 5.2-6.7L/100km. In actual usage, a fluctuation of up to 10% is considered normal. The following four factors can affect fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits of the owner can influence fuel consumption. For example, driving with the air conditioning on will consume more fuel than without it; 2. Although the Sylphy's load capacity isn't high, this factor still affects its fuel consumption. The impact might not be noticeable over short distances, but over 100 kilometers, it can be significant. Generally, driving alone for 100 kilometers will use about 0.5 liters less fuel than driving with a full car; 3. Different road conditions lead to varying engine power losses, which naturally results in differences in fuel consumption. Generally, smoother roads lead to lower fuel consumption; 4. If the engine is not properly maintained after a period of driving, fuel consumption may increase.
