What is the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Jetta VS5?

Jetta VS5's comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.2-6.8L/100km. There are currently 5 models of Jetta VS5 on sale: the manual Yuexiang Pro and manual Jinqu Pro, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km. The automatic Yuexiang Pro, automatic Jinqu Pro, and automatic Rongyao Pro have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 7.5-8.2L/100km. 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. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel 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 temperature: 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, which increases 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.

How to Tell if the Catalytic Converter Has Been Removed?

You can check by its appearance. A normal catalytic converter should have uniformly arranged and evenly sized pores in its internal porous ceramic, which should also be clean and relatively white (a yellowish beige color indicates a counterfeit). The porous ceramic inside the catalytic converter serves as a carrier and should be firmly and securely assembled with the outer shell, with no signs of looseness. A replacement catalytic converter should match the original factory specifications in terms of size, the material of the internal porous ceramic, the arrangement of the pores, and the number of rows. Additional information: 1. The catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a car's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the car's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. When high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the catalyst in the catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx, promoting specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. CO oxidizes at high temperatures into colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas; HC compounds oxidize into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide; and NOx is reduced into nitrogen and oxygen. These three harmful gases are transformed into harmless gases, thereby purifying the car's exhaust.

Is it necessary to repair transmission noise?

Transmission noise should be repaired. The causes of transmission noise failure are as follows: 1. Deformation of the transmission housing; 2. Loose or disassembled bearings; 3. Severe gear wear or broken teeth; 4. Overloading may cause bending of the transmission input or output shaft, or severe wear of the splines on the shaft; 5. Severe wear of the synchronizer. The following are the precursors of transmission failure: 1. Symptoms of transmission slipping. Fault performance: During driving, you can hear the engine idling when accelerating, but the car does not show a significant speed increase and has weak acceleration; another situation is that the car drives normally on flat roads but has weak power when going uphill, and the engine speed is very high. 2. Transmission noise. Fault performance: When the car is idling, driving, or under high-load driving, you hear abnormal noises from the transmission, even loud noises, and there are irregular, dull sounds when shifting gears. 3. Overheating of the transmission. Fault performance: The computer alarm shows that the transmission temperature is too high during driving; or after driving for a while, you feel that the transmission is overheating, even too hot to touch. 4. Symptoms of transmission oil leakage. Fault performance: You can clearly feel that the car is difficult to start, and during driving, although the engine speed increases when stepping on the accelerator, the car does not show obvious signs of acceleration.

What does the black license plate with Hu A mean?

Hu A indicates a license plate from Shanghai, and a black license plate refers to a vehicle with a black background on its plate. Black license plates are used for diplomatic vehicles, typically belonging to embassies or consulates. Some foreign enterprises also have them, and generally, those with earlier serial numbers enjoy diplomatic privileges and immunities. Additional information: 1. The first character of a license plate number is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. The second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. 2. A license plate number is an identifier for a vehicle, much like an ID number for a person. According to the 'Road Traffic Management Regulations,' the vehicle license plate and registration certificate are the legal documents permitting a vehicle to operate on public roads.

What does a black Shanghai A license plate mean?

Shanghai A indicates a license plate from Shanghai, and a black license plate refers to a plate with black background, white characters, and white borders. Black license plates include those for vehicles temporarily detained by customs, foreign vehicles entering the country, vehicles from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, vehicles purchased by foreigners in their private names for use in China, temporary plates for foreign and international organizations stationed in China, foreign enterprises, or confidential institutions. Below are the meanings represented by different colored license plates: 1. Blue background with white characters: This is the most common type of license plate, used for regular cars like private vehicles. It is the standard configuration for ordinary cars, and unless there are special requirements, this is the type of plate issued. 2. Yellow background with black characters: This type of plate is also quite common and is used for various types of vehicles, such as large trucks, freight vehicles, trailers, engineering vehicles, motorcycles, and also includes training vehicles. 3. Green background with black characters: These plates have a gradient green background and are for new energy vehicles, commonly known as electric cars, which do not require gasoline but need to be charged. 4. Green background with white characters: Another type of green plate, but with white characters, is generally used for agricultural vehicles, such as tractors, and is more commonly seen in rural areas. 5. Black background with white characters: This type of plate is typically used for foreign enterprise vehicles, such as cars purchased by foreigners in their private names in China, including those from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan enterprises. Additionally, some embassy vehicles also use this type of plate.

What is broken with the P0507 fault code?

P0507 fault code: It means the idle air control system engine speed is higher than the expected value. Possible causes include air leakage after the throttle body, IAC control circuit failure, IAC solenoid valve failure, throttle valve control module failure, electronic control module (PCM or ECM) failure, vehicle speed sensor failure, etc. The solutions are: 1. Check if the throttle is too dirty, then read the working data stream of the throttle position sensor and intake pressure sensor, and clean or replace the throttle. 2. If certain sensors have failed, it may cause the engine to malfunction. The sensors need to be replaced.
