I've been driving for over ten years, and the model svw71421et is the Volkswagen Lavida, specifically the SAIC Volkswagen version around 2019, typically equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with an automatic transmission. The Lavida has always been a popular model in the Chinese market, offering stable handling and flexible steering, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers. I've test-driven it a few times, and it has low urban fuel consumption, averaging only around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. On long highway trips, the chassis is stable with minimal noise. The interior is practical, with spacious seating—fitting three people comfortably in the back—and a trunk that can hold two or three suitcases, making it very handy for daily use. For maintenance, it's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup in the fuel system. Although the car doesn't have many fancy features, it's highly reliable with few issues even after five or six years of use. As a family commuter, it offers great value for money, especially for family outings.

The common Lavida SVW71421ET seen in repair shops is produced by SAIC Volkswagen. The '7142' part suggests a 1.5L EA211 engine, mostly paired with automatic transmissions. When customers bring in their cars, I first check this code to determine the model year, typically 2018 to 2021 models. The engine is designed to be durable, resisting carbon buildup even in daily stop-and-go traffic. The battery should be replaced every two years to avoid starting difficulties. Common issues include occasional steering gear noise, which can be fixed by disassembling and applying lubricant. Coolant leaks are easily overlooked, so regular checks are advised. I also recommend customers replace the air filter periodically to extend the car's lifespan—maintenance costs are low, around 100 yuan. Safety features are good with ABS, meeting crash test standards, but tires wear quickly; check every 10,000 km. This model has low failure rates, stable electrical systems, high market retention, good resale value, and easy part replacements.

Just got a used SVW71421ET Lavida, the 2020 version. It's been a couple of months and it feels amazing. The power isn't fierce but sufficient, easy acceleration in the city, and fuel-efficient—filling up once a month is enough for 2000 km. The rear space is spacious, no crowding when taking friends for a ride. The entertainment system is simple, Bluetooth connects to the phone for music without issues. The reverse radar is great for beginners, easy to get used to. Minor issues like the AC taking about five minutes to blow cold air, but overall durable. The interior plastic surfaces scratch easily, suggesting putting down a mat. Gear shifts are smooth, parking in the city is convenient. As a first car for young people, it's practical and not expensive—maintenance costs around 300-400 yuan each time, a small economic burden. Highly recommended for those on a tight budget.

How to Use the Focus Wiper?

Here is how to use the Focus wiper: 1. The wiper control lever of the Focus is located on the right side behind the steering wheel. Pushing the lever down one notch activates the single wipe mode. 2. Pushing the lever up one notch activates the intermittent wipe mode. 3. Pushing the lever up two notches activates the low-speed continuous wipe mode. 4. Pushing the lever up three notches activates the high-speed continuous wipe mode. 5. Pulling the lever back one notch activates the front washer spray. 6. Pushing the lever forward one notch activates the rear washer spray. Additional information: The power source of the wiper comes from an electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. It uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque. Its output shaft drives a four-bar linkage mechanism, which converts continuous rotational motion into left-right oscillating motion. The vehicle's combination switch handle has a wiper control knob with three positions: low speed, high speed, and intermittent. The top of the handle is the washer button switch. Pressing the switch sprays washer fluid to clean the windshield in conjunction with the wiper.

Should You Overtake from the Left or Right Side?

Overtaking should be done from the left side. Traffic safety laws and regulations stipulate that overtaking is only permitted from the left, and penalties are prescribed for overtaking from the right. Traffic police can impose fines on drivers. For safety reasons, it is advisable to overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front whenever possible. Basic Steps for Overtaking: The technique for overtaking can be summarized as follows: accelerate and merge into the adjacent lane, accelerate straight to pass the vehicle being overtaken, and then merge back into the original lane once a safe distance is achieved. The purpose of overtaking is to achieve faster passage. When to Overtake: Overtaking is appropriate when the vehicle in front is significantly slowing down the flow of traffic due to its own reasons, and there is a safe adjacent lane available. Generally, vehicles that are commonly overtaken exhibit the following characteristics: novice drivers hesitant to accelerate, slow-moving buses or trucks, drivers unfamiliar with the route, or those talking on the phone while driving. Overtaking should be completed safely and swiftly, requiring smooth acceleration and lane merging, all while ensuring safety conditions are met.

How often should the antifreeze in a sedan be replaced?

Sedan antifreeze should typically be replaced every two years, or when the vehicle reaches approximately 40,000 kilometers. The functions of automotive antifreeze include: 1. Providing anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Preventing scale buildup to avoid reducing the radiator's cooling efficiency; 3. Ensuring the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze include: 1. Regularly checking the antifreeze level and topping it up promptly if it falls below the minimum mark; 2. Observing whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediments and replacing it immediately if such sediments are present; 3. Not mixing antifreeze of different colors, as they vary by vehicle model; 4. Measuring the antifreeze's freezing point before winter to prevent it from freezing.

Can a Heavy Car Steering Wheel Be Adjusted?

Car steering wheel heaviness cannot be adjusted. Some vehicle cross shafts are prone to jamming, and applying lubricant may alleviate the heavy feeling. The reasons for a heavy car steering wheel include: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power assist system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. Solutions for a heavy car steering wheel are: 1. Replenish hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replace circuit fuses; 3. Replace flat bearings and replenish kingpin grease; 4. Increase lubrication for steering tie rod ball joints. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, three-spoke, and four-spoke designs. Their working principle involves transmitting torque to the rack-and-pinion mechanism to facilitate wheel rotation left or right.
