If you want a maitte to be with you for 10 years, the core secret is: “accurate maintenance, not lazy, not excessive”. The bottom is good, but the precision of a german car means that you have to understand it, and you'll have it. After a while, you'll find that many of the major repairs actually result from normal neglect or inappropriate maintenance of small details. The following experiences may make your motte a little longer and more economical。
Oil:
The maintenance manual says 10,000 kilometres of oil is a good reference. But if you go to and from work every day and move around on a crowded road, or run in a sandy place, i suggest you reduce the cycle to 78,000 kilometres. The long-term short- and low-speed engine is prone to the generation of carbon and oil sludge, and oil decays faster. The key is to choose a pair. The new e211 1. 4t and e888 2. 0t engines must be oiled with zero-w-20 oil that meets mass vw 50800 certification. Old 1. 8t 2. 0t, certified with vw 50200 5w-40. This is not a random suggestion, using the wrong label, which could affect the engine seal, fuel consumption and even cause abnormal wear and tear。
Firecrackers: don't wait until the car shakes and the fuel is up. The ea888 engine recommends 20,000 km of inspection/replacement and ea211 can be extended to 30,000. A set of original plants will not be expensive, but it will be much more expensive to repair if it is in bad condition。
The gearbox: that's the point. The dry double fusion (dq200) of 60,000 kilometres must be checked for fluid and replaced if necessary. Wet double fusion (dq381) and at transformer boxes, with regular oil exchange and filtration cores of 60,000 to 80,000 km. Many of the post-modular setbacks and noises are related to long-term non-oil change. The proposal was made in a professional store using a gravity-for-oil exchange method, which might lead to problems with the recycling machine。
Turbo: have two small habits: don't rush the big feet when the cold starts, wait until the speed of the turn is steady; and, after a high speed or long distance, one minute before parking. This time allows oil to be fully lubricated and cooled turbine bearings, which is essential for its lifetime。
Brake oil: it sucks water, its performance drops over time, it doesn't run to miles, it has to change every two years. In exchange, the old oil in the pipes was completely drained with specialized equipment。
Brakes: don't wait for the police to call. When three to four millimeters remain, it will be possible to plan for replacement, so that the brakes can be replaced and the loss doubled。
Tyres: except for the change of location around every 10,000 km, be careful of the tire pressure. The standard values for maytem were attached to the door, column b, and cold tires were pressed to that effect, with a difference of more than 0. 2 bar. Each month, you take a look around the car, and the pebbles are stuck in the bouquet and check for drums。
One last touch
Raise maiten, like a strict working partner. You follow the rules, it pays you steady and reliable. There are two extremes to be afraid of: either simply abandoning it and waiting for it to be broken; or being distracted from doing excessive “big health care”. The good state is, you know its temper and know when to check. Check the oil colour on a regular basis, hear if the chassis sounds, feel if the brakes feel different。
