When a car is parked for a long time, it is not advisable to fill up the tank completely, as gasoline can oxidize severely over time and form gum deposits. Below is an introduction to gasoline: 1. Definition of gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. 2. Key characteristics of gasoline: The important properties of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock quality, corrosiveness, and cleanliness. 3. The difference between 95-octane and 92-octane gasoline: 95-octane gasoline has better anti-knock properties than 92-octane. The better the anti-knock quality, the less likely the engine is to experience knocking.

How to Measure the Four Wires of an Idle Motor?

Measurement method for the four wires of an idle motor: You can use the resistance range of a multimeter to measure the resistance of the four pins separately. The resistance of the coil is generally several tens of ohms. If the measured resistance values of the two sets of coils are not significantly different, it indicates that the idle motor is functioning properly. The idle motor, also known as a stepper motor, commonly comes in 3-wire, 4-wire, and 6-wire configurations, with 4-wire being the most common. It consists of two sets of coils, with the four wires connected to the ECU and power supply respectively, none of which should be grounded to avoid damaging the ECU. The idle motor is used to control the idle speed of the car. If it malfunctions or is damaged, it can affect the engine's idle operation, potentially leading to issues such as difficulty starting, unstable idle, idle shaking, idle stalling, or slow acceleration. Prompt inspection, repair, or replacement is necessary in such cases.

What Octane Gasoline Should Volkswagen Sagitar Use?

Volkswagen Sagitar officially recommends using 92-octane or higher gasoline. Below is more information about gasoline: 1. 92-octane gasoline refers to gasoline with an octane rating of 92, suitable for mid-range vehicles. The gasoline octane number represents its anti-knock performance; a higher number indicates better anti-knock ability, but it has no relation to the quality of the gasoline itself. Nor does it mean that higher-octane gasoline contains fewer impurities. 2. The main types of unleaded gasoline available in the market are 90, 93, and 97. In major cities, Sinopec also supplies high-clean 90, 93, and 97-octane unleaded gasoline, which not only has lower lead content but also contains small amounts of additives to clean the fuel system. High-standard 90, 93, and 97-octane fuels are of the same grade in terms of cleanliness and impurities, differing only in anti-knock performance. 3. Regardless of the vehicle you drive, you only need to refuel with the octane number specified in the owner's manual. There is no need to deliberately use higher-octane gasoline, and it is even more important not to use gasoline with a lower octane number than required.
