I've always been interested in BMW engines. The 2021 3 Series uses the B48 series turbocharged engine, which, compared to older models like the N20, has improved valve seals and piston ring designs, significantly reducing oil consumption issues. Most new cars don't burn much oil, but driving habits are crucial; aggressive driving or frequent high RPMs can accelerate consumption. It's recommended to manually check the oil dipstick every time you refuel to ensure the level is between the upper and lower limits. Using BMW-recommended 0W-30 oil can protect the engine, and changing it every 5,000 kilometers can prevent carbon buildup. Occasionally, some owners report slight consumption, but overall it's reliable, and with good maintenance, major issues are rare. Don't believe rumors easily—it actually runs very smoothly in practice.

Are there many problems with the Song Pro?

There are not many problems with the Song Pro. The engine and transmission technology currently configured in the Song Pro are quite mature, so there is no need to worry about any issues. Introduction: The dry dual-clutch can be understood as a combination of two sets of ordinary manual transmission clutches, with two clutches controlling two input shafts to transmit power to the gearbox. Since this design aims to improve shifting speed and transmission efficiency, the dual-clutch transmission is always highly responsive to gear changes. Frequent shifting equals frequent semi-engagement of the clutch, which means high-frequency sliding friction between the flywheel and the clutch. This poses a severe test to the clutch's durability. Durability: The peak torque of the 1.5T direct-injection turbocharged engine matched with the Song Pro is only 245Nm (1600-4000 rpm), and the ample torque margin indicates the durability of this transmission. Features: The BYD Song Pro fuel version comes standard with a 1.5T high-efficiency engine, model BYD476ZQB, and a wet transmission that places the clutch in an oil chamber for lubrication and cooling through transmission oil flow.

Where is the fuel pump fuse relay of Volkswagen Lavida located?

After opening the driver's door, there is a panel on the side of the dashboard. Unscrew the panel with a screwdriver, and the fuse box is inside; the relay is located in the relay box. Relay Overview: A relay is an automatic control device where the output undergoes a sudden change when the input (electrical, magnetic, acoustic, optical, or thermal) reaches a certain value. Automotive relays are the relays used in vehicles. Relay Characteristics: Automotive relays have high load-switching capacity, impact resistance, and vibration resistance. The power supply in vehicles is mostly 12V, and the coil voltage is mostly designed for 12V. In the engine compartment, the ambient temperature range requirement is -40°C to 125°C, while in other locations, it ranges from -40°C to 85°C.

What is the reason for the Nissan X-Trail battery failure not lighting up?

Nissan X-Trail battery failure not lighting up. It is due to low voltage in the battery. Introduction to Automotive Batteries: Automotive batteries are an essential part of a vehicle and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Structure of Automotive Batteries: Since the battery uses lead-calcium alloy for the grid frame, the amount of water decomposition during charging is minimal, and water evaporation is also low. Additionally, the sealed structure of the casing releases very little sulfuric acid gas. Therefore, compared to traditional batteries, it has advantages such as not requiring any liquid replenishment and having a long charge storage time.

Where is the Audi S4 rearview mirror heating switch located?

The switch is located on the driver's side door panel, resembling a comb-shaped button. The rearview mirror heating function automatically activates when the external temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, effectively eliminating visibility issues caused by rainy or snowy weather, ensuring safe driving. The function of rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror heating feature allows the car to remove rainwater or fog from the mirror surface during adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, ensuring clear visibility. The principle of rearview mirror heating: It involves installing an electric heating element or film inside both rearview mirror lenses. Typically, there is a rearview mirror heating button on the car's central console. When activated, it quickly heats up, with temperatures generally ranging between 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Why does the Audi Q5L use a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission?

Audi Q5L uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission because: The working condition of the wet dual-clutch is better. Introduction to dry dual-clutch transmission: The clutch has poor thermal degradation, and the clutch is prone to overheating. If these changes cannot be well recognized by the computer, it will lead to a loss of electronic control accuracy. This can result in power interruption, shaking, or a sudden surge of power. Introduction to wet dual-clutch transmission: It is wet-type, immersed in oil, so the heat dissipation of the clutch is better, making the clutch wear and thermal degradation superior to that of the dry type. Moreover, the clutch temperature can be estimated through the oil temperature sensor, greatly improving control accuracy. Therefore, the problematic transmissions from Volkswagen are mostly the 7-speed dry dual-clutch type. Hence, the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission has better durability.

What Causes the Bumpy Noise in Baojun 510?

Baojun 510 bumpy noise causes: Suspension failure: Suspension failure can cause the car to have no damping or rebound when driving on bumpy roads, making it prone to noise when passing speed bumps or rough roads, accompanied by body shaking. Tire noise: Stones or other foreign objects stuck in the tire tread can also cause noise, often accompanied by rear body swaying. Brake failure: The bumpy noise may also be due to foreign objects between the brake pads and discs, or excessive wear of the brake pads, both of which can cause noise.
