Considering getting a V60. Which one is more hassle-free, the older T5 or the newer B5? T5 has oil consumption issues and B5 has battery drainage problems. How should I choose?

I recently switched to a four-cylinder engine for my 14, and it hasn't burned any oil since. [I want some peace]

My '16 T5 hasn't consumed any oil. 110,000 km and nothing has needed fixing. Oil consumption depends on how well you maintain it.

For convenience, you might as well go for the CC Shooting Brake.

Never had any battery drain issues with the 2023 B5. Seems like the imported ones don't have this problem.

The older models have been available for many years. If you're willing to deal with potential issues, go for the older version. Anyway, the B5 is still performing well for now.

Why hesitate when buying a car? Go for new, not used!

Specifically, as long as it's properly maintained, the T5 models from 2016 onwards won't consume oil excessively.

The new T5 doesn't consume engine oil. For the B5, check the year for battery issues. If you want peace of mind, choose the 2020 T5 model.

The original battery in your Haima S5 from 2016, manual transmission, has been in use for six years. After being parked for half a month, you jump-started it with a power bank and have been driving it 50 kilometers daily for a week, but it still remains in a discharged state. If the car can't start after being off for more than an hour, it might be time to replace the battery.

Guys, need some help. My Hongqi EHS9 460 Flag Enjoy suddenly has a dead battery today, but it was running fine yesterday. Jump-started it and went to the dealership for a full day check, but they couldn't find the problem. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice?

I have a 2017 V60, and sometimes I hear a clicking noise from the chassis when driving at high speeds. The noise disappears if I lightly tap the brakes. I suspect it might be an issue with the brake system, but I've been to the dealership twice and they couldn't solve it. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

If your T99's battery is seriously drained and loses power after just a week of being parked, there are a few steps you could consider: 1. **Check for Parasitic Drain:** Ensure that no electrical components are drawing power when the car is off. This might include lights, the radio, or other electronics. 2. **Battery Health Check:** Have the battery tested to see if it's in good condition. Sometimes, a faulty or old battery may need replacing even if the car has only run 12,300 km. 3. **Alternator Check:** Make sure the alternator is charging the battery properly when the engine is running. 4. **Battery Maintenance:** If the car is parked for long periods, consider disconnecting the battery or using a trickle charger to maintain the charge. 5. **Professional Help:** If the issue persists, it might be a good idea to consult with a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve the problem. Dealing with battery issues can be frustrating, but these steps might help in identifying and fixing the problem.

Does the 2021 Fengxing T5 EVO have an auto start-stop feature? It seems like it doesn't, but I'm not sure. I need to change the battery, but I'm not sure if it has the auto start-stop function.

Has anyone experienced this situation? (The lights flicker while driving, the battery is fine, it's not the automatic headlights, and it doesn't happen very often. A roadside repair shop moved the headlight's fuse, but the problem still hasn't been solved.)

Why did you choose Jetta over Tan Yue? I compared the configurations, and Tan Yue has a lot more features.

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with your 2012 Peugeot 308 not starting, and you're hearing a clicking sound with the onboard computer resetting. Since the battery has been tested and has power, the problem could be related to the starter motor or its connections, the ignition switch, or a potential issue with the car's electrical system, such as a bad ground or corroded terminals. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic check these components to diagnose the exact issue.

Has any owner of the 3-motor version of the XP noticed a 4% drop in battery health after six months? I personally feel that I've taken good care of the battery, usually charging between 50% to 80% (slow charging), rarely using fast charging, and charging to 100% no more than five times. When not in use, I keep it plugged in and haven't driven aggressively or used the straight-line speed mode. Despite this, the battery health has still dropped by 4% in six months. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
