Dry dual-clutch transmissions do have gearbox oil, and this type of transmission also requires regular oil changes. Its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission, featuring two sets of clutches: one controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. Below is an introduction to dry dual-clutch transmissions: 1. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in gearbox oil, whereas in a wet dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are immersed in gearbox oil. 2. Gearbox oil is a lubricant that keeps the shifting system clean, ensuring the transmission operates properly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components.

Which way does the car body go when the steering wheel is turned to the right?

When the steering wheel is turned to the right, the car body also moves to the right. The direction of the car body movement is consistent with the direction of the steering wheel. Some tips for turning the steering wheel: First, the correct hand position on the steering wheel should be at the "9 and 3 o'clock" positions. When turning the steering wheel, keep both hands on it and rotate up to 180 degrees in each direction. Methods and correct posture for turning the steering wheel: Maintain an upright posture while actively steering. Adjust the seat height and position to the correct state. Keep your eyes looking straight ahead, with your left hand lightly holding the upper left part of the steering wheel and your right hand lightly holding the upper right part. Both hands should be relaxed and naturally positioned, with thumbs pointing straight along the top of the steering wheel and the other four fingers gently wrapped around from the outside. Hand movements should be balanced to avoid unnecessary shaking. If the steering wheel is affected by uneven road surfaces causing front wheel deflection or vibration, firmly grip the steering wheel to prevent injury to fingers or wrists during violent movements. When the front left (or right) wheels deviate, correct the direction by steering to the right (or left), gradually returning the steering wheel to center as the vehicle straightens.

What Octane Gasoline Should the Volkswagen Talagon Use?

The Volkswagen Talagon with the 2.0T four-cylinder engine requires 98-octane gasoline, while the six-cylinder version can use 95-octane gasoline. These octane ratings are recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the suitable octane rating in the user manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which is usually labeled. Typically, the octane rating can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, those between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline, and those with a higher compression ratio should use 98-octane gasoline. However, with the use of new technologies, the octane rating cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio, as engines with high compression ratios can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Volkswagen Talagon occasionally uses the wrong octane rating, simply switch back to the correct one after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong octane rating can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Where to Maintain New Energy Vehicles?

For new energy vehicle models, especially pure electric models, it is best to go to a 4S shop for maintenance. After all, the popularity is not yet comprehensive, and the professionalism of external auto repair shops may not be consistent. Maintenance methods for new energy vehicles: Battery inspection: The most unique aspect of new energy vehicles is the large battery inside the car. Regular battery inspection is an essential task. If during the use of the battery, the charging time becomes longer or the driving range suddenly becomes shorter, it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem with the battery. Other aspects of the vehicle: The biggest difference between pure electric vehicles and fuel models is the absence of an engine and transmission. However, the body structure or other parts of the vehicle are no different from pure fuel models. Therefore, pure electric vehicles should be maintained according to the principle of maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. Daily use: Pure electric vehicles also require great attention in daily use. First, the charging time for new energy vehicles should not be too long. After receiving the charging prompt, charging should be done immediately, otherwise over-discharging the battery will affect its lifespan. Avoid over-discharging the battery: When starting, the accelerator should be pressed lightly to avoid high discharge from the battery, which could affect the physical performance of the battery plates. If the vehicle is parked for a long time, the battery should also be fully charged.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Failing to Undergo Annual Inspection?

If a vehicle owner fails to conduct the annual inspection in accordance with relevant regulations, they will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points and a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded. Additionally, if an accident occurs while the vehicle is overdue for inspection, the insurance company will not provide claim services. Article 13, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use must undergo regular safety technical inspections in accordance with laws and administrative regulations, based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life. Motor vehicle safety inspection institutions shall conduct inspections for vehicles that provide a motor vehicle driving license and compulsory third-party liability insurance policy, and no unit may impose additional conditions. For vehicles that meet national safety technical standards, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall issue an inspection compliance mark. Specific penalties for vehicles failing annual inspection: - If the delay does not exceed 3 months, the annual inspection can be processed normally, and the traffic police will issue a verbal warning. - If the delay exceeds 3 months but is less than 2 years, a fine will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted. In severe cases, the motor vehicle may be temporarily impounded. - If the delay exceeds 2 years, the vehicle management office will cancel the vehicle's records, making it impossible to process the annual inspection. The owner must pay corresponding fines to restore the records. - If the delay exceeds 3 inspection cycles, the vehicle management office will forcibly scrap the vehicle, even if it has not reached the mandatory scrapping age.

In the movement of a car, what types of motion are involved?

The operation of a car involves both rotational motion and translational motion. Below is a relevant introduction about automobile motion: 1. Rotational motion: An object moves in a circular path around a point or an axis, such as the Earth rotating on its axis while also revolving around the Sun. This corresponds to the rotation of the vehicle's wheels. 2. Translational motion: Within the same plane, when all points of a figure move the same distance in a straight-line direction, such movement is called translational motion of the figure, or simply translation. This corresponds to the physical phenomenon of the vehicle's body moving forward.
