Haval Big Dog: Should I Buy the 1.5T or 2.0T? It mainly depends on the owner's budget. If the budget is sufficient, then the top-tier 2.0T Chinese Pastoral Dog version is the best choice. 1.5T Haval Big Dog Powertrain: The 1.5T Haval Big Dog is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 169 horsepower (124 kW). It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2.0T Chinese Pastoral Dog Version Powertrain: The Chinese Pastoral Dog version features a 2.0T engine from the 4N20 series, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, producing a maximum power of 211 horsepower and a peak torque of 325 Nm. As the top-tier Big Dog model, it comes with BorgWarner's fifth-generation Haldax all-wheel-drive system, enabling a 50:50 power distribution between the front and rear axles. Additionally, it includes a rear axle differential lock, supporting crawl mode and off-road expert mode, providing significantly stronger off-road capabilities compared to its competitors.

I think the 1.5T version of the Haval Big Dog is a great choice, with affordability being the most important factor. For daily city driving with frequent traffic jams, fuel consumption is key. The 1.5T engine can save 1-2 liters per 100 kilometers, which adds up to significant savings on fuel costs over time. Price-wise, the 1.5T is also cheaper than the 2.0T, allowing those on a tight budget to save several thousand yuan for upgrades or maintenance. While the power isn’t as strong, it’s more than enough for city commuting—smooth acceleration and no trouble overtaking. Space and safety features are identical, and maintenance costs are even lower. Unless you frequently drive on highways or haul heavy loads, the 1.5T is the more economical option. I test-drove it on city roads, and it handled very well—no need to spend extra for more power.

What happens when the wheel cylinder fails?

The following situations may occur when the wheel cylinder fails: Abnormal noise during braking: When applying the brakes while driving, the braking system may emit a sharp and harsh metal friction sound. This could be caused by thin brake pads, poor-quality brake pads, foreign objects in the brake pads, or rust on the brake discs. In most cases, pressing the brakes a few more times can alleviate the noise. Brake shudder: During emergency braking, you may feel the brake pedal "kicking back" with a sensation like "thump, thump, thump." This is normal and indicates that the ABS is functioning. Soft brakes: When braking while driving, the deceleration is weak, and the braking distance is long. The causes of poor braking performance in a hydraulic braking system can generally be judged based on the brake pedal travel, the feel of the pedal (soft or hard), and the stability after pressing the brake pedal.

What are the differences between Jetta and Santana in Subject 2?

Subject 2 Jetta and Santana differences are as follows: Appearance differences: The most obvious difference between the two cars is reflected in the front face design. Although both adopt Volkswagen's family-style design, subtle adjustments in the front grille color scheme, bumper, and taillight shape create slightly different visual effects. The Santana's front face gives a more stable impression, while the Jetta appears younger and more energetic. The Santana's headlights have a more regular shape, while the Jetta's are more angular. Body size differences: The difference between the two cars is minimal. Both have a wheelbase of 2603mm and a width of 1706mm. The Jetta is 14mm longer than the Santana, which is the most significant difference in body size data. Reverse gear operation difference: The difference between Jetta and Santana lies in the reverse gear operation. The Jetta's reverse gear is in the first gear position, requiring the gear lever to be pressed down before engaging, while the Santana does not require this.

Can part-time 4WD in 4H mode make turns?

Part-time 4WD in 4H mode can make turns, but it cannot turn on paved roads; turns can only be made in 4H mode on unpaved roads. The main reason is that the turning radius of the front and rear wheels is different, so when the vehicle needs to turn, there must be a speed difference between the front and rear wheels. The heavier the vehicle, the better its stability at high speeds. Other factors affecting a vehicle's stability at high speeds include: Vehicle tires: Tires are the only components in contact with the ground. Generally, wider and flatter tires provide better stability at high speeds; Vehicle shape: The vehicle's shape also affects its high-speed stability. The more aerodynamic the vehicle, the better its stability at high speeds; Drive configuration: Most vehicle drive configurations include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles are more stable than two-wheel drive vehicles; Suspension system: Generally, vehicles with independent suspension systems are more stable than those with non-independent suspension systems. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension.

Installation of the electric meter and charging pile: After obtaining approval from the property management, the owner can apply to the power company to install an electric meter and then contact a charging pile construction company to install the charging pile.

The office will verify the installation of the charging pile, and as long as the installation is properly completed, the review will be passed.

What is the reason for the erratic jumping of the door lock latch on the 2011 Buick Excelle?

The reason for the erratic jumping of the Excelle's door lock latch is the damage to the small switch inside the central control motor of the left front door. Below are the relevant details about the central locking system: Central Locking System: The full name of the central locking system is Central Control Door Lock, which is an automotive accessory. Using this lock allows for remote opening and locking of doors without inserting the key into the lock cylinder. It consists of the door lock switch, actuator, and controller. Main Functions: It is divided into central control, speed control, and individual control. Central control means that when the driver locks the door next to them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can use the door lock switch to open all doors at once or open a specific door individually. Speed control means that when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, all doors automatically lock to prevent passengers from accidentally opening the door by operating the door handle. Individual control refers to the presence of separate spring lock switches on doors other than the driver's side, allowing for independent control of the opening and locking of a single door.
