The Tiguan L is equipped with the EA888 engine, which is the latest engine developed by Volkswagen and belongs to the third generation. The EA888 series engines include two displacements: 1.8L and 2.0L. The mechanical systems of these two engines are basically the same, with the main difference being the length of the connecting rods between the crankshaft and pistons. The 2.0TSI has shorter connecting rods than the 1.8TSI, and the crankshaft radius is increased to enhance displacement. Engine options for the Tiguan L: It comes with three engines—a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Low-power engine performance of the Tiguan L: The low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved between 4,100 and 6,000 rpm, while the maximum torque is available between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. High-power engine performance of the Tiguan L: The high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved between 4,500 and 6,200 rpm, while the maximum torque is available between 1,500 and 4,400 rpm.

I've been driving the Tiguan L for a while now. This SUV is equipped with the third-generation EA888 engine, which delivers impressive power output. It doesn't drag during acceleration from a standstill, and highway acceleration is also very smooth. In terms of fuel consumption, it's around 9 liters in the city, which isn't too bad. A full tank can take you quite a distance. The engine's reliability is good—I've driven it for over two years without any major issues. Regular maintenance just involves oil and filter changes, which are reasonably priced. The EA888 is a classic series from Volkswagen, and the third generation has seen many improvements, such as reduced noise and vibration, making the ride quieter and more comfortable. If you're concerned about durability, the third generation has done a better job addressing oil leakage issues found in older models, making it suitable for daily commutes or weekend trips for working professionals like me.

Why Does Water Drip from a Car's Exhaust Pipe?

Water dripping from a car's exhaust pipe is a normal phenomenon that occurs in all types of vehicles, indicating that the fuel in the engine is burning efficiently. When the ambient temperature is low, water vapor condenses into droplets on the inner walls of the exhaust pipe and flows out. In winter, when the external environment is colder, air humidity is high, and there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the engine after operation, the phenomenon of water dripping from the exhaust pipe is more common. However, excessive water discharge from the exhaust pipe is not normal. While water dripping from the exhaust pipe can reflect the car's performance, more water does not necessarily mean better performance. Excessive water in the exhaust system can damage the oxygen sensor in the catalytic converter, leading to inaccurate fuel supply to the engine and affecting its normal operation and performance. Additionally, prolonged accumulation of water droplets can accelerate corrosion of the exhaust pipe.

Is It Necessary to Replace the Three-Piece Set When Changing the Timing Belt?

It is not always necessary to replace the three-piece set when changing the timing belt. In some engines, the water pump is driven by the same timing belt. If the belt has been used for a long time or is corroded, it is advisable to replace it along with the belt. However, if the water pump is independently driven and the timing belt has not reached its replacement interval, it is recommended not to replace it. The tension of the tensioner pulley should not be too low. Insufficient tension can reduce the friction between the belt and the working pulley, ultimately causing the belt to slip. Similarly, the tension should not be too high, as excessive tension increases the load on the belt, leading to belt damage and potential bearing failure in the working pulley. The tensioner pulley should generally be placed on the inner side of the slack side to ensure the belt is subjected to only one-way bending. It should also be positioned as close as possible to the large pulley to minimize the impact on the wrap angle of the small pulley. If the tensioner pulley is placed on the outer side of the slack side, it should be positioned near the small pulley. The groove dimensions of the tensioner pulley should match those of the belt pulley, and its diameter should be smaller than that of the small pulley. The timing belt is a consumable part. If it breaks, the camshaft will no longer operate in sync with the timing, which can cause severe damage due to valve and piston collision. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time interval specified by the manufacturer. During engine operation, the four processes of intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust continuously occur in the cylinders. Each step must be precisely timed with the movement and position of the pistons to ensure coordinated intake, exhaust, and piston motion. The timing belt acts as a 'bridge' within the engine, transmitting power from the crankshaft to the corresponding components.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Camry 2.0?

Camry 2.0 has a combined fuel consumption of 5.5-5.8L/100km. Currently, there are three models of the Camry 2.0 available for sale. The Elite version has a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km. The Luxury version has a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The Sport version has a combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.5-8.8L/100km. When driving, the following five tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during operation, thereby making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter if it is dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.

What is the fuel consumption of Honda 190?

Honda 190 has a combined fuel consumption of around 2.5L per 100 kilometers. Here are some precautions for motorcycle riding: Pre-departure inspection: Check the condition of the motorcycle, including the headlights, turn signals, horn, and handlebars to ensure they are functioning properly. Attire and protective gear: Helmets are legally required protective equipment, and it is advisable to wear brightly colored clothing. Follow traffic rules: Avoid racing with cars, drive safely in accordance with traffic regulations, and yield to pedestrians. Do not follow too closely; maintain an appropriate distance behind the right rear corner of the vehicle in front. When overtaking, pass from the left side of the vehicle ahead; avoid overtaking from the right or between two parallel vehicles.

What are the best tires for RAV4?

RAV4 mainly uses three types of tires: Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Yokohama. When replacing tires, pay attention to the tire specifications and choose the appropriate ones. In daily use of car tires, the following aspects should be noted: 1. Regularly check the tire inflation pressure. Normal tire pressure can effectively improve the vehicle's fuel economy, so the tire inflation pressure should be checked frequently. A tire pressure gauge can be used for accurate measurement, or service station personnel can check it during regular vehicle maintenance. 2. Regularly remove foreign objects from the tread grooves of the tires to avoid damage caused by these objects. Also, check whether the tread depth exceeds the usage limit. If it does, replace the tires promptly to prevent hazards. 3. While paying attention to tire pressure, also be mindful of the tire load. Tires are the final components that bear the vehicle's load. The structure, strength, usage pressure, and speed of the tires are strictly calculated and determined by the manufacturer. Overloading the tires beyond the standard will affect their service life.
