A large number of Russians drive domestic cars. This is dictated by their low cost and ease of maintenance. However, there are also disadvantages. For example, many owners of Volga cars suffer from increased fuel consumption. How to reduce the consumption of the Volga?
Necessary
Operation manual, tire pressure sensors, injector firmware program
Instructions
Step 1
Inspect the entire vehicle for excess debris or junk. Very often, a large amount of things that you do not use will accumulate in the car. However, they add extra weight. Volga already weighs a lot, and the additional weight makes the engine run at higher revs, giving out more power. This leads to increased fuel consumption and faster wear of parts.
Step 2
Pay close attention to the condition of your tires. Monitor tire pressure at all times. It should always be normal. Low pressure tires make it difficult for the vehicle to move. Also, pressure above or below normal can cause an accident. Therefore, you need to constantly check the pressure. The vehicle's owner's manual states that the tire pressure must be checked before each ride. It is best to install pressure sensors that will constantly indicate to you what pressure the tires are now. Also, many of them have an alarm function at the moment when the pressure drops or rises to a critical level.
Step 3
Monitor the condition of such vehicle components as the gearbox and braking system. Poor brakes make it difficult for the vehicle to move and fuel consumption increases. It is also worth noting that a lot depends on the driving style. The more often you accelerate, the more fuel your vehicle uses. Try to drive without overspeeding, change gears less, brake the car with a gearbox. You will be convinced that the consumption will drop noticeably. Purchase an on-board computer with a fuel consumption display function. Try to ride it.
Step 4
If you have a carburetor car, then you need to regularly flush and clean it. Correct carburetor setting also plays an important role. Standard carburettors, which are installed on the Volga, consume too much fuel, so the installation of Sollex carburetors is practiced.
If you have an injection vehicle, then the injector also requires timely maintenance. To reduce the consumption of an injection vehicle, it is necessary to do chip tuning. In other words, change the program responsible for the electronic injection scheme.
