If the gap in the Jetta shock absorber top mount is too large, it needs to be replaced. Generally, a gap (20mm) in the front shock absorber top mount is normal. An excessively large gap can cause abnormal noises in the vehicle's shock absorption, while an excessively small gap can make the shock absorption too stiff, affecting the driving experience. Symptoms of a damaged shock absorber top mount include: 1. Reduced comfort, with particularly noticeable thumping sounds when going over bumps and speed bumps, indicating shock absorber issues. 2. Increased tire noise, with severe cases producing a rumbling sound. 3. Steering becomes misaligned, with the steering wheel deviating when driving straight, and the vehicle not moving straight even when the wheel is centered. 4. Squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel while stationary, and in severe cases, causing the vehicle to veer off course while driving.

How Much Does Fuel Consumption Increase When Using Air Conditioning in Summer?

Using air conditioning in summer generally increases fuel consumption by about 10%, with a maximum increase of no more than 20%. After the car has been exposed to the sun for a long time, you should first open all four doors and the sunroof to allow air to circulate inside the car for 3 minutes. This will quickly lower the interior temperature, making the air conditioning more effective when turned on. Proper use of the car air conditioning's recirculation mode: The recirculation mode blocks the hot air outside, creating a sealed space inside the car. This allows the interior air to circulate quickly under the effect of the air conditioning, achieving rapid cooling. Once the interior temperature has dropped, it is recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes to purify the air inside the car. After 5 minutes, switch back to recirculation mode. Reason for turning off the air conditioning in advance: Turn off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking. This protects the engine and saves fuel.

What are the common faults of Mercedes-Benz 48V motor?

Common faults of Mercedes-Benz 48V motor are as follows: 1. False alarms: Due to bugs in the software program, the system may trigger false alarms. Upgrading to the latest program at a 4S dealership can resolve this issue. 2. Battery depletion: The 48V system does not charge continuously; it only charges during deceleration and braking. Components such as the electric water pump, electric auxiliary compressor, and air conditioning compressor are all powered by the 48V system. Additionally, when coasting, the engine stops running, and the motor maintains the vehicle speed. Therefore, on roads without traffic lights, especially highways, there are fewer opportunities to brake, resulting in less charging. With numerous electrical devices consuming power, the battery is more prone to depletion. 3. Hardware failures: The 48V system mainly consists of a 48V battery, a 48V starter motor/generator, a 48V/12V voltage converter, and a control module. Current feedback indicates that almost every hardware component has experienced issues.

What to Do When the Wuling Zhiguang Won't Start?

Check the battery, as it might be dead; inspect the starter motor, and if it's faulty, it needs to be repaired. The relevant details are as follows: 1. Battery Charging: The issue might be due to a dead battery. You need to charge the battery or use another car to jump-start it. As long as there is a little charge in the battery, it can continue charging. Once the charge reaches a certain level, the car can be started. 2. Starter Motor: Another issue could be with the starter motor. The thinnest wire in the circuit is the control wire, which powers up when starting. There is also another wire connected to the starter motor; do not touch that wire initially. Use a screwdriver to connect the thin wire with other wires to see if the starter motor responds. Turn on the headlights to check if they have power. If the problem is with the starter motor, you will need to tow the car for repairs.
