When should the spark plugs of Wuling Hongguang S be replaced?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the spark plugs of Wuling Hongguang S should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about spark plugs: 1. Spark plugs, commonly known as fire nozzles, are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via cylinder wires, but currently, most car engines have been modified to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plug. 2. There are various types of spark plugs. The main types include: standard spark plugs, protruding insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, surface-jump spark plugs, etc. 3. Spark plugs work in conjunction with the ignition system and fuel supply system to enable the engine to perform work. Their function is to release the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent by the high-voltage wire (spark plug wire), break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, and generate an electric spark to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder.
I've been driving my Wuling Hongguang S for nearly five years. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. I didn't pay attention early on, and the car made clicking noises when starting, with fuel consumption skyrocketing, before I realized the issue. Spark plugs are responsible for engine ignition; when they age, incomplete combustion occurs, not only wasting fuel but also affecting performance and environmental friendliness. It's advisable not to wait for symptoms to appear. According to the maintenance manual's recommendation, most Wuling Hongguang S models suggest inspection around 35,000 kilometers. If you drive aggressively, such as frequently carrying heavy loads or driving in mountainous areas, you might need to advance this to 30,000 kilometers. Replacing them costs around a hundred yuan, a simple and hassle-free task that can prevent major repairs. Remember the types of spark plugs: standard ones have a shorter lifespan, while platinum options are more durable.
