Where is the engine air intake of Wuling Sunshine located?
2 Answers
Wuling Sunshine's engine air intake is located under the front hood of the vehicle, near the position of the right headlight. The engine of Wuling Sunshine is mid-mounted, not in the front engine compartment, and the height of the air intake determines the vehicle's wading depth. Wuling Sunshine is a vehicle model launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling, belonging to the microvan category with a wheelbase of 2500mm, front track of 1290mm, and rear track of 1290mm. Wuling Sunshine is equipped with two types of 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engines: one is a low-power version, and the other is a high-power version. The low-power 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 76 horsepower and a maximum torque of 108 N·m. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5600 rpm and its maximum torque between 3600 to 4200 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with an iron cylinder block.
I just got a Wuling Sunshine not long ago and enjoy doing some minor maintenance myself. The air intake is located at the front of the engine compartment—just pop the hood and you'll see a plastic box on the right or in the middle, which is the air filter housing. The intake connects to its front. Remembering its position is crucial because it’s responsible for drawing in clean air for combustion. If it gets clogged with dust, the car may feel sluggish, and fuel consumption could increase. I often recommend checking the filter every quarter to see if it’s clean; if it’s too dusty, replace or blow it out. By the way, similar van structures are mostly the same—avoid tampering with wires to prevent affecting other components. Keeping the intake system clean extends engine life and makes long drives more worry-free.
