I've been driving the Geely Boyue for several years. Its engine is independently developed by Geely, incorporating Volvo's technological genes. The 1.8T turbocharged model delivers particularly strong power output, making highway overtaking effortless and urban starts smooth. Fuel consumption is well controlled, with my actual test showing around 8 liters per 100 kilometers combined, a significant improvement over older models. The engine layout is compact, and NVH noise control is excellent—even driving on the highway with windows down isn't noisy, providing a quiet driving experience. I've also tested it on several uphill drives, where the ample torque ensures no sluggishness. Safety features are integrated with intelligent engine management, such as the hill descent control function, which is worry-free. Geely has invested heavily in the powertrain, regularly upgrading software to optimize performance. When recommending it to friends, I say this engine is reliable and fuel-efficient.

As an ordinary driver using the car for daily commuting, I find the engine of the Geely Boyue very practical. It starts without delay and responds quickly to the throttle in city traffic jams. My model is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which has had no major issues over two years of use, demonstrating strong reliability. Even during cold starts in winter, there are no unusual noises. Fuel consumption is around 9 liters in the city and drops to 7 liters on the highway, saving me a lot on fuel costs due to its economic efficiency. The engine design is simple, with parts that are easy to replace. The last maintenance session, which included changing the spark plugs, took only half an hour. I believe Geely's in-house engine technology has matured, providing a stable and smooth ride without jolts, making it suitable for family use. Over long-term use, the engine has shown good durability, requiring only regular minor maintenance to avoid major repairs.

When maintaining the BoYue, I noticed the engine is self-produced by Geely, with a reasonable structure that's easy to maintain. The oil filter is simple to remove and replace, so I often do it myself, spending just over 100 yuan for each minor service—very hassle-free. Core components like the cylinder block and pistons are durable, typically running 50,000 kilometers without major repairs. If issues arise, they're mostly minor sensor faults that can be fixed by unplugging and replugging. Parts are readily available at ordinary repair shops, keeping maintenance costs low. I recommend owners regularly check the cooling system to ensure good heat dissipation and extend engine life. This engine excels in noise control, making long-distance drives comfortable.

The engine of the Geely Boyue comes from Geely's own development, and the backstory is quite interesting. Geely absorbed Volvo's powertrain technology in its early years, enhancing the fuel efficiency and emission standards of the Boyue's engine. Through my research, I found that the new version is equipped with an intelligent control unit to optimize power output and match driving modes. This stems from Geely's brand strategy, evolving from domestic beginnings to global collaborations, ensuring engine reliability and safety. During my test drive at the showroom, the salesperson emphasized its low-emission and eco-friendly features, making it greener to drive now. For beginners, learning the engine maintenance guide is straightforward, as the manual is clear and not complicated.

What is the reasonable engine RPM for shifting gears?

For most common vehicles, it is appropriate to shift gears at 2000-3000 RPM. The following data indicates suitable RPM ranges for shifting: Starting in first gear: Engine RPM around 1000-1500, vehicle speed at 10 km/h, then shift to second gear. In second gear: Engine RPM around 1500-2000, vehicle speed reaching 30 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to third gear. In third gear: Engine RPM around 1500-2000, vehicle speed reaching 40 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to fourth gear. In fourth gear: Engine RPM around 1500-2000, vehicle speed reaching 50-70 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to fifth gear. In fifth gear: Engine RPM around 1500-3000, vehicle speed reaching 80-120 km/h. If there are additional gears, continue upshifting based on the pattern and actual driving feel.

What are the symptoms of a faulty vehicle temperature sensor?

Common symptoms of a faulty vehicle temperature sensor include abnormal signals. Below are specific symptoms for different types of faulty temperature sensors: 1. Intake Air Temperature Sensor: If the intake air temperature sensor malfunctions or fails, the engine cannot accurately calculate the fuel injection volume, resulting in an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture. This can cause difficulties in starting, unstable idling, engine shaking, or black smoke emissions, affecting engine performance. 2. Coolant Temperature Sensor: A faulty or damaged coolant temperature sensor prevents the engine from properly regulating water temperature, leading to insufficient cooling. This may result in overheating ("boiling") or cylinder scoring. Symptoms include hard starting when cold, unstable idle, shaking, and poor acceleration. When the engine is hot, the malfunction indicator light may stay on, and the cooling fan may stop working. 3. Ambient Temperature Sensor Inspection: The ambient temperature sensor (also called outside air temperature sensor) is typically installed near the front bumper or grille. Its sensing element uses negative temperature coefficient thermistor technology. Testing methods for the ambient temperature sensor are similar to those for the coolant temperature sensor. Use a multimeter's resistance mode to measure its resistance value: normal resistance at room temperature should be 1.6-1.8KΩ (resistance increases as temperature decreases). If the measured resistance exceeds specified values, this indicates either an open circuit in the sensor wiring harness or poor connector contact, which can affect normal operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system. Further inspection or replacement is recommended in such cases.

How much engine oil does the new Mondeo require?

The oil change requires approximately 5.4 liters. You can check the oil level with the dipstick after adding the oil. Here is some information about the dipstick: 1. Purpose of the dipstick: The dipstick is a simple liquid level gauge that directly displays the oil level in the oil pan. The dipstick is not only used to check the level of engine oil but also allows experienced drivers or mechanics to observe the engine's working dynamics. This helps in maintaining the engine, identifying the causes of faults or accidents promptly, preventing further damage, and making quick and accurate judgments. Proper use of the dipstick plays a crucial role in extending the engine's lifespan. 2. Meaning of the dipstick markings: The dipstick measures the static oil level, indicating whether the engine oil volume is within a reasonable range. A standard dipstick has clear upper and lower limits, and the oil level should be between these two marks. Ideally, the level should be around the middle. It's important to note that more oil is not necessarily better. A higher oil level increases engine resistance (since the crankshaft needs to constantly agitate the oil in the oil pan for splash lubrication). Ideally, the oil level should be slightly below the middle mark, as this minimizes engine resistance and fuel consumption while maintaining stable lubrication performance.

What does 'hold' displayed in the car mean?

When 'hold' is displayed in the car, it refers to the forced gear lock function, which adjusts the driving state according to different road conditions. It effectively prevents the transmission from frequently shifting gears on poor road surfaces and serves as a forced downshift (without upshifting) during overtaking. The 'hold' function is a gear lock feature that allows locking in any gear of an automatic transmission car (except for P, R, and N gears). When the hold button is pressed in D gear, the transmission will maintain the second, third, or fourth gear (mainly the fourth gear); when pressed in 3 gear, it will maintain the second or third gear (mainly the third gear); when pressed in 2 gear, it will maintain the second gear; and when pressed in 1 gear, it will maintain a fixed first gear.

What to Do About Brake Steering Noise and Transmission Jerking?

Solutions for brake steering noise and transmission jerking: To completely resolve transmission issues and prevent recurrence, it is essential to remove stubborn dirt and impurities from the transmission and effectively control the transmission's operating temperature. Transmission noise is caused by the accumulation of stubborn dirt and impurities inside, particularly in the valve body where deposits can form blockages, preventing effective regulation of oil pressure and leading to jerking, impact, and slippage issues. In automobiles, the transmission is commonly referred to as the "gearbox"; in industrial machinery, it is often called a "speed changer," serving as a mechanical or hydraulic device for converting mechanical power.
