Guys, does Volvo cover the maintenance for this car? There's no local dealership here, so if Volvo doesn't provide maintenance, I'm hesitant to consider it.

I'm currently driving a 330i, and I'm considering adding a well-handling SUV since I'm quite focused on handling. I've heard this car is pretty impressive. I have two questions I'd like to ask. I'm considering the S+. 1. How is the handling of this car? 2. Is it convenient for maintenance and repairs? I haven't really seen Lotus dealerships around.

If you're considering the 2.0-liter model of the ASX, should you go for the automatic or manual transmission? Could someone knowledgeable provide some insights? Please discuss the failure rate, daily maintenance costs, and fuel consumption. Thanks!

When starting a cold car, the RPM goes up to 2000 and then drops to 1500 but doesn't go any lower. The high idle speed is causing high fuel consumption, 20 liters for 300 kilometers! The idle speed is too high, and so is the fuel consumption. Can any experts provide a solution? 🙏

Has anyone experienced oil leaks? My car has only 9,000 kilometers, and during maintenance, they found the valve cover was leaking. It took a week, but I finally got it back from the dealership today 😂. I asked some fellow car owners, and it seems there's a certain chance of this issue occurring 😂. It feels like Subaru's quality control is really lacking!

Based on the situation you described, you have a budget of 30w provided by your parents to buy a car, and your internship salary is 6k per month. Your living expenses like food and housing are covered by your parents, but other expenses are your responsibility. To determine if 6k is enough to maintain the car, consider the following: 1. **Fuel Costs**: Calculate the fuel cost based on the car's fuel economy and current fuel prices. You plan to drive about 1500km a month, so this will be a significant factor. 2. **Insurance**: Check the cost of car insurance in your area for a new driver. 3. **Maintenance and Repairs**: Consider regular maintenance costs and unexpected repairs. 4. **Other Expenses**: Include costs like registration, parking, and tolls. If your monthly expenses for the car (fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc.) fit within your budget after accounting for your other personal expenses, then 6k might be sufficient to maintain the car. However, it's important to have some savings for unforeseen expenses.

I experienced a similar issue with my steering column making noise and feeling stuck. The dealership suggested replacing it, but it's quite expensive, so I didn't go for it. How did you guys deal with this problem? Do you have any good solutions? My car is over three years old and has run more than 20,000 kilometers, and this issue has come up. I think there might be a quality issue here.

Hey guys, quick question. Has anyone with the 2021 Diamond Edition upgraded to LED lights? Did you change the lenses too? Also, for those who do maintenance outside the dealership, what brand of engine oil are you using?

Hey guys, how's the air conditioning in your hybrid Yingku? Mine doesn't seem to cool well, and when I went to the dealership they said that's just how GAC's air conditioning is.

I have a question about maintenance. I bought my car in September 2022, and I've driven 15,000 kilometers so far. I've done maintenance 3 times and changed the oil 3 times. I feel that future maintenance doesn't need to be so frequent. If I drive 7,500 kilometers a year, should I do maintenance once a year?

I'm here to help! To adjust the maintenance reminder on your car's dashboard to match the actual mileage, you usually need to reset or update the maintenance settings. Here’s a general approach: 1. **Check the Owner's Manual**: Look for instructions specific to your car model regarding how to reset the maintenance reminder. 2. **Use the Trip Button**: In many cars, you can use the trip button on the dashboard. Press and hold it while the car is in the "On" position (but not running) until the maintenance light blinks or resets. 3. **Consult the Service Menu**: Some vehicles have a service menu accessible via the infotainment system where you can update maintenance intervals. 4. **Visit a Service Center**: If you're unsure, it's best to visit a service center or dealership. They can use diagnostic tools to reset the reminder accurately. Remember that the steps can vary depending on your car brand and model.
