Manual transmission converted to automatic cannot pass the annual inspection. Converting from manual to automatic is considered illegal modification. Illegal modifications include alterations to the vehicle's appearance, power system, transmission system, and braking system that exceed the original design load capacity and functions permitted by national laws and manufacturer agreements. Whether replacing the manual transmission with an automatic one or installing an automatic clutch, these modifications to the vehicle's power and transmission systems are illegal without approval from relevant authorities. Converting from manual to automatic depends on the size and position of the engine compartment. If the same model has an automatic version, the conversion is relatively easy. However, after conversion, the vehicle will fail the annual inspection. Additionally, automatic transmissions consume more fuel than manual ones and significantly reduce power performance.

Why does Volkswagen use 95-octane gasoline?

Volkswagen vehicles use 95-octane gasoline because most of its models are equipped with turbocharged engines. During high-speed driving, the turbocharger operates more powerfully, which imposes strict requirements on gasoline. 95-octane gasoline has better anti-knock properties compared to 92-octane gasoline. If German cars use 92-octane gasoline for an extended period, it can lead to engine knocking, which is very dangerous. Below is some relevant information about gasoline: 1. The difference in gasoline grades lies in the octane value of the additives (which affects anti-knock performance). The higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane value, and the better the anti-knock performance, making it more suitable for high-compression ratio engines. However, this is not absolute, as it also depends on the manufacturer's technology, tuning, and the engine's inherent properties. 2. Lower-grade gasoline has higher lead and gum content. If a vehicle that requires 95-octane gasoline uses 92-octane or lower, it can cause engine knocking, damaging the engine, oxygen sensors, and other components.

How to Use the Geely Emgrand Wiper?

Geely Emgrand's wiper is located on the right side of the steering wheel. By operating the wiper lever up, down, forward, and backward, you can adjust the wiper speed and frequency for both front and rear wipers. Pushing the lever downward will automatically return it to its original position, activating the wiper for one sweep. Pushing the lever upward offers three speed settings: slow, medium, and fast. Below are the instructions for using the wiper: 1. General use of the front wiper: Push the lever upward to activate the wiper in continuous mode. Release the lever to automatically return it to its original position, stopping the wiper. This is suitable for clearing small amounts of water or debris on the windshield. 2. To wash the windshield, pull the lever toward yourself (or toward the palm of your hand) to spray water and clean the windshield. The lever will automatically reset when released, stopping the water spray, and the wiper will stop working shortly after. 3. General use of the rear wiper: The rear wiper is controlled independently from the front wiper (even though they share the same lever). Even if the front wiper is set to OFF, the rear wiper can still operate separately.

Is the Toyota Vios water pump mechanical or electronic?

Vios water pump is a mechanical pump. The following is the relevant content about the car water pump: 1. The engine drives the water pump bearing and impeller to rotate through the pulley, and the coolant in the water pump is driven by the impeller to rotate together; 2. Under the action of centrifugal force, it is thrown to the edge of the water pump housing, while generating a certain pressure, and then flows out from the water outlet or water pipe; 3. Due to the coolant being thrown out, the pressure at the center of the impeller decreases, and the coolant in the radiator is sucked into the impeller through the water pipe under the pressure difference between the water pump inlet and the center of the impeller, achieving the reciprocating circulation of the coolant. Extended content: In the cylinder block of the car engine, there are multiple water passages for coolant circulation, which are connected to the radiator located at the front of the car through water pipes to form a water circulation system. At the water outlet of the engine, there is a water pump, which is driven by the fan belt to pump out the hot water from the water passages in the engine block and pump in the cold water.
