When the low-pressure fuel pump was disassembled, it was found that the fuel tank was empty. The reason is that the fuel level sensor is stuck and the fuel gauge indication is inaccurate. After adding fuel, measure the oil pressure of the low-pressure part again and find that the oil pressure is 300kPa, which is normal. Test drive, there is still no sign of the car.

Even when your car is parked and not in use, the battery itself is still in use, which means the battery is slowly discharging. A small current, typically in the 200-600 mA range, is drawn by one or more modules such as the security system and door lock module. This is normal and is not a problem when the car is parked for only a few days. This ...
