Yes, you need to replace the transmission fluid when changing the clutch three-piece set because the transmission fluid must be drained during the replacement process. For manual transmission fluid replacement (gravity method), approximately 4 to 6 liters are required; if using a fluid exchange machine, around 9 to 12 liters are needed. Signs that indicate the need for transmission fluid replacement include: vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation, transmission overheating warning on the dashboard, engine stalling, and unusual noises. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid, then refill with new fluid. 2. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the first, as it allows for the removal of debris from the bottom of the oil pan. 3. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine enables dynamic fluid exchange, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.

Can I Pick Up the Car on Saturdays and Sundays?

As long as the 4S dealership is open, you can pick up the car any day. Here are some relevant details: 1. New car license plate: You just need to make an appointment with the 4S dealership in advance. However, the license plate might not be ready when you pick up the car because the registration process takes time, and some involved departments may be closed on weekends. But this does not affect picking up the car. You can use a temporary license plate first and complete the formal registration procedures after the official plate is issued. 2. Precautions for new car buyers when picking up the car: Inspect the exterior of the car, check the engine compartment and undercarriage for any signs of repairs, pay attention to the body gaps, open the doors to observe if the paint inside and outside the car matches, and ensure the car windows are intact. Inspect the interior space carefully—this step is crucial, especially for high-end cars with luxurious features. Be patient and check configurations such as multimedia, storage compartments, lights, audio system, air conditioning, seats, seat belts, and power windows thoroughly.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking in a BMW X3?

BMW X3 braking noise reasons are as follows: Brake pad quality: Substandard brake pads can produce abnormal noises during braking and may also damage the brake discs. It is necessary to replace them with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads at an authorized 4S dealership. Foreign objects in brake discs: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris. If a stone gets lodged between the brake pad and disc, it will create noise during braking. Prompt removal of the foreign object is required. Severely worn brake discs: Friction between brake pads and heavily worn brake discs can also generate abnormal sounds. Timely replacement of the brake discs is necessary. Severely worn brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads naturally thin due to continuous friction. Excessively thin pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden in material, causing noise during braking. Immediate replacement of the brake pads is the solution.

How to Master Clutch Control?

Correct techniques for controlling the clutch: 1. Avoid unnecessary clutch pressing: During normal driving, the clutch is in a fully engaged state without slippage. Clutch disengagement is controlled by pressing the clutch pedal. Except for starting the car, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, avoid keeping your foot on the clutch pedal unnecessarily. Prolonged foot placement on the clutch pedal while driving can easily cause clutch slippage, clutch plate burning, and in severe cases, damage to the clutch pressure plate, flywheel surface, or even annealing of the clutch pressure spring. 2. Apply proper force when pressing the clutch: Avoid using only your toes or lifting your heel off the floor to prevent insufficient force or slipping. Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to ensure complete disengagement and prevent wear from prolonged partial engagement. 3. Correct operation during starting: The key to clutch pedal operation when starting is "quick initial press, slow engagement, and coordinated movement." Before starting, it's advisable to test the clutch pedal once to familiarize yourself with its free play, working travel, and pedal feel.

What does it mean to charge a 12-volt battery with insufficient power by driving?

Possibilities of charging with insufficient power by driving are as follows: 1. The generator's output voltage is lower than the battery voltage: The generator is not working or there is a fault in the power supply line. In this case, the battery is supplying power while the vehicle is moving, and the generator and charging circuit should be inspected and repaired at a repair shop as soon as possible. 2. Belt breakage: The alternator belt is broken. 3. Generator: The alternator has a serious malfunction. The car can still operate normally when the battery indicator light is on for the following reasons: 1. Stored electrical energy: The car can continue to use the electrical energy stored in the battery until the battery is depleted. 2. After depletion, no part of the car will work: When the battery indicator light is on, the car can still be driven to the garage, which will not damage any components. However, it is necessary to reach the garage before the battery is completely depleted and the car stalls.
