Can You Still Drive with Transmission Oil Dripping?

You should not continue driving a car with transmission oil dripping and need to repair it promptly. Below are the specific situations of transmission oil dripping: Definition of transmission oil leakage: It can be divided into two scenarios: seepage and leakage. Seepage refers to oil stains caused by poor internal sealing or aging oil seals in the transmission, which do not affect the normal use of the vehicle. Leakage, however, refers to the dripping of transmission oil due to faulty oil seals or quality defects, with a relatively fast leakage rate. In such cases, you must remain vigilant, frequently monitor the transmission oil level, and promptly visit a 4S shop or repair station for claims or repairs. Causes of transmission oil leakage: Oil leakage at the oil seal neck: Aging or deformed oil seals, detached oil seal springs, or incorrectly installed oil seals can all cause the oil seal to lose its sealing function. Other causes include oil leakage at the transmission housing joint surface and oil leakage at the front bearing joint surface.

I recently encountered a transmission oil leak as well. At the time, I didn't pay much attention and continued driving for dozens of kilometers. As a result, I clearly felt jerking when shifting gears. I immediately sent it to the repair shop and found out that the oil seal had aged and was leaking, nearly causing the entire transmission to be ruined. Transmission oil is like the blood of a machine; once it's insufficient, it loses its lubrication and protection. The friction between gears and bearings inside increases sharply, causing temperatures to skyrocket. In severe cases, parts can seize or even break. Under no circumstances should you continue driving in this situation. Even if the leak is minor, you must immediately turn off the engine, pull over, and have the car towed to a professional auto repair shop for inspection. Don't take the risk of topping up the oil yourself to make do—transmission repairs can cost tens of thousands, and malfunctions can easily lead to high-speed loss of control. When parking daily, pay attention to whether there are oil stains on the ground, and regularly check the condition of the oil seals during maintenance. Preventing problems before they occur is the most cost-effective approach.

What Causes the Dashboard Lights to Illuminate but the Car Fails to Start?

Dashboard lights illuminating but the car failing to start is typically caused by insufficient battery charge. Below are some maintenance tips for your car battery: 1. In-car power usage: To preserve your car battery, avoid activities like listening to the radio at high volume, charging your phone, or using an air pump while the engine is off. Prolonged use of these devices can drain the battery, and frequent depletion significantly reduces its lifespan. 2. Highway or long-distance driving: Regularly driving on highways offers multiple benefits, not only clearing carbon deposits from the engine but also fully charging the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for over an hour can fully charge the battery, keeping it in optimal condition. 3. Avoid prolonged inactivity: If the car is left unused for an extended period, disconnect the battery cables or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional. 4. High-power device connections: Many modern car accessories, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and air pumps, have high instantaneous power demands. Avoid powering these devices directly from the car battery. Instead, start the vehicle first and then connect the electrical devices.

What brand engine is the BJ40 equipped with?

The BJ40 is equipped with a 2.4L inline-four naturally aspirated engine with the code name G4CA, which is an improvement over the 2.7L engine previously used in the BAW Warrior. It offers two power options: 2.0T and 2.3T, capable of delivering maximum torque outputs of 320N·m and 350N·m, respectively. More details are as follows: 1. Exterior design: The Beijing Auto BJ40, with its rugged SUV style, features numerous right-angle designs, exuding a strong masculine appeal. Interior design: As an off-road vehicle, it does not boast luxurious decorations but adopts a simple and rugged design style reminiscent of the "Wrangler." The window and central locking switches are designed as toggle levers, giving a very retro feel. 2. Powertrain: The BJ40 is powered by a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 105kW and a maximum torque of 217Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The new vehicle also features a mechanical part-time four-wheel-drive system and employs a body-on-frame structure. Additionally, the Beijing Jeep BJ40's rear suspension is a five-link non-independent setup, providing better support for extreme off-road conditions.

Is It Normal for the Engine to Shake When Turning on the AC in a New Car?

It is a normal phenomenon. When the car is in an idle state, the engine continues to run, and shaking when the AC is turned on is quite normal. Idling is a working condition of the car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Below is additional information about idling: Normal Idling: When the vehicle is parked and the engine is started, the minimum stable engine speed is referred to as parking idle (the process of transitioning from a cold engine idle state to an idle state where the engine reaches normal operating temperature is called warming up or heating the engine). Driving Idle: When the car is in gear, without pressing the accelerator pedal or releasing it while driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is called driving idle.

What causes the excessive resistance in the B1346 driver's seat airbag?

It may be due to poor contact in the airbag connector or a broken airbag clock spring. Here are the relevant details: Specific causes: If the car displays excessive airbag resistance, you can clean the connector box and check for loose connections. If the issue persists, remove the airbag and replace it with a 2 to 3 ohm resistor to see if the fault code remains. If the fault code no longer appears, it indicates an internal airbag fault, and the airbag needs to be replaced. Check if the airbag connector is normal, with no signs of burning, etc. Measure the resistance of the airbag wiring harness. If the resistance is abnormal, simply replace the wiring harness. Airbag location: Airbags are positioned in the front passenger and driver seats, the front and rear sides of the vehicle, and the roof in three directions. The airbag consists of three parts: the airbag itself, sensors, and the inflation system. The function of the airbag is to reduce the severity of occupant injuries during a collision, prevent secondary collisions, or protect occupants from being thrown out of their seats in dangerous situations such as vehicle rollovers.

What are the reasons for the Lynk & Co 01's network connection failure?

Lynk & Co 01's network connection failure may be due to the vehicle system being in an upgrade phase while in a shutdown state, causing the network module to enter an infinite crash state, resulting in disconnection and inability to connect.
