A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) belongs to both manual and automatic transmission categories. The manual and automatic modes of a dual-clutch transmission can be switched at any time without the need to brake or release the accelerator. Below is an introduction to dual-clutch transmissions: Introduction: A dual-clutch transmission is a type of transmission mechanism. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, gears of different positions respond. The dual-clutch transmission has two clutches: one controls the 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears, while the other controls the 2nd, 4th, and 6th gears. When using the 1st gear, the 2nd gear is already prepared, significantly reducing shift time. Function: Automatic transmissions are highly efficient and can provide uninterrupted power, with the two clutches working in coordination. Unlike most automatic transmission systems, a dual-clutch transmission is both a manual and an automatic transmission.

How often should the vehicle's charcoal canister be replaced?

The replacement interval for the vehicle's charcoal canister is: every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. The charcoal canister is prone to clogging, which can prevent fuel vapors from escaping, leading to excessive pressure from exhaust gases in the fuel tank. Its primary function is to reduce emission pollution. During daily use, it is important to avoid impacts or strong vibrations on the charcoal canister, as these can shorten its lifespan. The charcoal canister has an adsorption function. When the vehicle is running or turned off, gasoline vapors from the fuel tank enter the upper part of the charcoal canister through the pipeline, while fresh air enters from the lower part. When the engine is turned off, the gasoline vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored there. When the engine is started, the electromagnetic valve of the fuel evaporation purification device, located between the charcoal canister and the intake manifold, opens, allowing the gasoline vapors in the charcoal canister to be drawn into the intake manifold for combustion.

Why does the car body shake when the speed exceeds 80 mph?

The reasons for car body shaking when the speed exceeds 80 mph are: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. When the fuel injectors have excessive carbon buildup or the throttle valve is too dirty, the excessive carbon deposits inside the engine can cause the gasoline sprayed during cold starts to be absorbed by the carbon deposits; 2. Poor ignition system performance, with suboptimal spark plug firing. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them promptly if necessary; 3. Unstable fuel pressure. If the car body still shakes at idle after cleaning the throttle valve, engine carbon deposits, spark plugs, and replacing the fuel pads, it is necessary to check whether the intake pressure sensor and fuel supply pressure are normal. It is recommended to take the car to a repair shop to inspect the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can all cause the car body to shake.
