Fuel additives are generally added every 10,000 kilometers. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Engine carbon deposits can gradually accumulate inside the engine unnoticed. If carbon deposits are ignored, they can slowly reduce engine power, lower fuel efficiency, worsen emissions, and lead to a series of engine malfunctions. 2. The fuel system can remove carbon deposits, enhance power, save fuel, reduce noise, and prevent engine failures caused by fuel issues. 3. Automotive maintenance chemicals clean the fuel system, stabilize fuel, reduce carbon deposits, and protect the engine. However, the current market for fuel additives is mixed with varying quality. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) additives, typically adding them once every 10,000 kilometers is sufficient.

Can You Still Drive with an Indirect TPMS Malfunction?

Indirect TPMS malfunction means you should not drive. The vehicle owner should immediately stop and conduct repairs as follows: 1. Turn on hazard lights and place a warning triangle after stopping to alert passing vehicles; 2. If tire leakage is detected, replace it with the spare tire and proceed to the nearest repair shop. Avoid prolonged use of the spare tire to prevent traffic accidents. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a label printed with standard tire pressure on the rear end of the driver's door, which indicates the pressure when the tire is cold. Accurate tire pressure measurement requires the tire to be cold after parking for at least three hours or driving no more than 1.6km.

What does the red TSI signify?

TSI in red indicates different scenarios: 1. When only the letter 'i' is red, it signifies the vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T engine; 2. When 'si' is red, it denotes a 1.8T engine; 3. When the entire 'TSI' is red, it represents a 2.0T engine. The function of an engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing gas expansion that drives the pistons to perform work. Maintenance methods for automotive engines include: 1. Regularly changing engine oil and filters; 2. Using lubricants of appropriate quality grades; 3. Periodically cleaning the radiator; 4. Regularly servicing the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter; 5. Maintaining good crankcase ventilation with regular cleaning; 6. Periodically cleaning the fuel system.

What is the fuel consumption of the Magotan 1.8t?

The fuel consumption of the Magotan 1.8t is 7.8L per 100 kilometers, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the Magotan 1.8t is 70L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 70/7.8*100=897km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
