The car’s fuel system delivers fuel to the engine, affecting its power and efficiency. It includes the fuel pump, filters, injectors, tank, and pipelines. Malfunctions can cause power loss, increased fuel consumption, or engine failure. Timely repair is crucial for reliable vehicle operation.

Quality repair requires professional expertise and genuine parts. Regular filter replacement (every 10-15 thousand km) and using high-quality fuel prevent breakdowns. Prompt service at the first signs of trouble saves time and money, ensuring safe and comfortable driving.
