New energy vehicles may not be significantly affected by minor water ingress, but large-scale flooding could render even pure electric vehicles unusable. Here are some key points about flooded new energy vehicles: 1. Causes of Damage: This is primarily because electric vehicles have numerous circuits and key components such as batteries, drive motors, and controllers, all of which are sensitive to water. Even with excellent waterproofing features, prolonged immersion can cause severe damage. 2. Precautions: Pure electric vehicles are well-constructed and designed with reasonable protection between circuits. Most importantly, they use lithium batteries, so in the event of minor flooding, drivers are unlikely to face significant harm. However, in cases of large-scale or prolonged water ingress, there is no guarantee against the risk of electric shock incidents.

How Often Should the Oil in a Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Be Replaced?

Dry dual-clutch transmission oil should be replaced every three years or 60,000 kilometers. A dry dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates to extend the lifespan of the transmission components, and provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission oil is categorized into automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil.

What is the situation with burning coolant?

The system has a malfunction. Common causes of coolant loss include system leakage, radiator cap damage, coolant not meeting usage standards, and engine overheating. Cooling system leakage: Leakage can occur in many parts of the cooling system, such as hoses and water plugs. Generally, leaks are relatively easy to detect. However, some leaks are very slight and extremely difficult to find. As long as the owner carefully observes, they can definitely locate the leak and then take appropriate measures, such as tightening or reinstalling the relevant parts. Radiator cap damage: The radiator cap on the cooling system is not an ordinary cap but a specially designed one with an air valve and a steam valve inside. If this cap malfunctions, especially if the steam valve opens at too low a pressure or remains constantly open, it can cause a large amount of steam to escape from here. Over time, this will lead to coolant loss. This is the main reason for coolant loss in many vehicles.

What Does Partial Loss of Engine Power Mean?

Partial loss of engine power refers to the phenomenon where certain components of the engine are damaged or insufficient. Partial loss of engine power is commonly known as the engine malfunction indicator light. When this light illuminates, it indicates a localized fault in the engine, and the vehicle owner should be alert. The engine can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Its types include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline engines), external combustion engines (e.g., Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), and electric motors.
