Manual transmission clutches can indeed get water inside, especially when driving through water. If not careful, water can enter the clutch. Phenomena caused by water in the clutch: The clutch plates may stick together, making gear shifting difficult or impossible while driving, accompanied by gear collision sounds in the transmission. After driving through deep water, if you notice noises when accelerating or even inability to engage gears, it's likely due to water in the clutch. Precautions after water enters the clutch: There is a small hole on the clutch gear where water can automatically drain out, allowing quick dehydration. Since the clutch operates at high temperatures, moisture can also evaporate easily. Typically, any water in the clutch will evaporate within a day.

What to Do When the Central Lock Fails and the Car Won't Start?

If the central lock fails and the car won't start, it is necessary to check the battery or relay working status. Generally, a car has two fuse boxes, one in the engine compartment and the other in the cabin, with the relay usually located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. If the battery is dead, jump-starting or replacing the battery is required. The central lock, short for Central Control Door Lock, controls the left and right movement of the linkage by changing the direction of the current in the actuator, thereby achieving the locking and unlocking of the door locks. The central lock switch inside the car is located on the driver's door and is a control device that can simultaneously control the closing and opening of all car doors. Once the button is pressed, the door locks and windows of the other three doors cannot be controlled individually and must be operated by the driver alone. Conversely, they can be controlled individually.

How much engine oil should be added to a 1.5L engine?

1.5L engines require 4 liters of engine oil. Whether adding new oil after draining the old oil or replenishing lost oil, avoid pouring all the oil into the engine at once. It is best to add gradually while measuring. When adding oil, first place the oil dipstick near the engine, then pull it out and wipe off the attached oil with a cloth before reinserting and pulling it out again. During engine operation, oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between parts. Direct contact and friction between engine components can accelerate wear and generate excessive heat instantly, leading to severe engine damage.

What is the correct method for starting a manual transmission car?

The correct method for starting a manual transmission car is: 1. Insert the key, turn on the ignition switch, and start the engine; 2. Press down the clutch pedal and shift the gear lever into first gear; 3. Observe the surroundings of the vehicle to ensure safety, then release the parking brake lever; 4. Lift the clutch pedal quickly until the engine sound becomes lower, wait for the vehicle body to slightly vibrate, pause the clutch pedal momentarily, while gently applying some throttle, then slowly lift the clutch pedal further, followed by gradually increasing the throttle. The steps for starting on an uphill slope are: 1. Press the clutch pedal fully with the left foot, lightly press the throttle with the right foot, shift into first gear and lift the clutch; 2. Release the handbrake with the right hand; 3. Apply throttle to start, noting that more throttle is needed when starting on an uphill slope. For starting on a downhill slope, the method is the same as starting on level ground, just pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
