There are other reasons for the increase in car fuel consumption
I don't know if anyone has ever encountered a situation where their beloved car suddenly experienced a significant increase in fuel consumption during a certain period of time, which is really a headache in today's rapidly rising oil prices. The biggest headache may not be just this, the sharp increase in fuel consumption is definitely not a good thing, it is very likely that there is a problem with the car's "health".
For a car, the intake temperature sensor is not a major accessory compared to car engines and clutch accessories, but its damage may directly cause an increase in fuel consumption of the vehicle. A professional explained that after this component has a problem, except for a direct increase in fuel consumption, there are no other obvious symptoms, and the car can be driven without error. In this case, it is recommended that the car owner go to the 4S store for an electronic inspection. Generally speaking, the replacement cost of this component is not very high.
Clutch slipping may also be one of the reasons. This is relatively easy for experienced drivers to detect. For example, when the speed of the car shows 4000 revolutions per minute, the car used to be able to drive up to 120 kilometers per hour, but now it can only drive up to 100 kilometers per hour. This may be due to the clutch slipping causing the engine's speed to be lost, requiring replacement of clutch plates, clutch pressure plates, and other automotive clutch accessories.
Leaving aside the driving factors, in terms of car maintenance, it is important to pay attention to regular maintenance of your car and replace vulnerable parts such as spark plugs and air filters on time. Firstly, it is necessary to have scheduled maintenance and regular inspections. If problems are found, it is best to solve them immediately, and do not delay until small problems become major problems.
Some car owners often feel that maintenance fees are expensive and are reluctant to go to a 4S store, but it should be noted that regular maintenance is very important for the car. Sometimes a car experiences a series of problems, which are likely caused by long-term lack of maintenance. It is important to distinguish between the light and the heavy, and one should never do things that are small and big.
