Vehicle consumes more fuel after replacing the timing belt because the timing position is not aligned. Here are the detailed reasons for increased fuel consumption: 1. Cause Details: If the position of the belt pulley is not correctly aligned during installation, delayed ignition timing will lead to increased fuel consumption and high temperature. The timing belt needs to be removed and reinstalled; otherwise, the vehicle may fail to start normally during ignition or idle. 2. Precautions: The vehicle engine's timing is adjusted to the optimal state when leaving the factory. If the timing is not aligned correctly during replacement, the ignition timing will change, the most direct result being incomplete combustion. It is recommended to have it replaced by professionals.

How long after a new car is launched will there be discounts?

Generally speaking, minor facelift models do not undergo significant adjustments but will receive upgrades in interior configurations, exterior details, etc., or introduce new models (not entirely new vehicles, but new configuration options). Additionally, some manufacturers may implement official price reductions when launching minor facelifts. Methods to determine whether a car is new include: Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the certificate of conformity, and it is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it is considered an old car. Inspect the brake discs: Most small passenger vehicles today use disc brakes (at least for the front brakes), making brake disc inspection a reliable method. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There is usually a 1-2 mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake disc. After a certain distance is driven, a so-called "step" (very low for new cars) will form on the outer edge of the brake disc.
