ECVT transmissions do require transmission fluid replacement. Any type of fluid has a shelf life and needs to be changed after a certain mileage or period of use. Due to the unique road conditions cars operate on and the influence of external environments, transmission fluid will deteriorate over time, necessitating regular replacement. The working principle of an ECVT transmission relies on two sets of gears paired with a steel belt clutch to achieve functional adjustments. Japanese car models equipped with ECVT transmissions include: the hybrid versions of the Camry, Corolla, Levin, Prius, as well as all hybrid models from Lexus and Toyota.

Why does the 17 Mondeo engine fan keep running?

The reasons why the Mondeo's electric fan keeps running are as follows: 1. Engine overheating caused by insufficient coolant, leading to continuous operation of the electric fan. 2. Engine overheating caused by radiator leakage, loose or damaged hoses causing water leakage, resulting in continuous operation of the electric fan. 3. Thermostat failure, due to which the temperature reaches the baseline but cannot send water to the radiator, or the water flow is insufficient, causing engine overheating and continuous operation of the electric fan.

What does it mean to check the power steering system?

The appearance of a "check power steering system" message indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's computer system. When this situation occurs, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle's power steering system: 1. Check steering operation force: Inspect for belt slippage or damage, whether the steering pump's output pressure or oil volume is below standard, if air has entered the hydraulic fluid, or if there are any issues with the oil pipes being crushed or twisted. 2. System pressure inspection: Connect the pressure gauge and throttle valve, open the throttle valve, start the engine and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right extreme positions while reading the pressure on the gauge. The standard value is 6.8~8.2 MPa; if the standard values for left and right turns are not met, the steering gear should be repaired or the assembly replaced.

Where is the windshield washer switch on the Audi A6?

The windshield washer switch on the Audi A6 is located on the wiper control stalk on the steering wheel. Pull the stalk toward the driver to activate the washer function. Here are some precautions for using the windshield washer: 1. Frequently use the washer function and check the windshield washer fluid level. If the fluid level is too low, refill it promptly to avoid dry wiping. 2. When the windshield washer warning light on the dashboard illuminates, it usually indicates low washer fluid in the reservoir. Refill it immediately. If the transparency of the windshield deteriorates, especially during nighttime driving when dust on the glass scatters light, use the washer fluid to maintain optimal visibility. 3. Before using the washer fluid to clean the windshield, check the wiper blades for any debris, such as leaves, and remove them before spraying the washer fluid. Sometimes, using the washer fluid directly may affect the wiping performance.
