How is BMW's Dual-Clutch Transmission?

1 Answers

BMW's 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is generally of good quality. After all, BMW uses its own transmission, so in terms of power delivery and shift timing calibration, BMW's 8AT transmission still holds a significant advantage. However, as the market gradually shifts towards dual-clutch transmissions, BMW has been progressively replacing the original ZF 8AT transmission with its own 7-speed dual-clutch transmission in its newer models over the past few years. Below is some relevant information: 1. Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): The dual-clutch transmission differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. It is based on a manual transmission but is not an automatic transmission. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. 2. Clutch: The clutch generally refers to the clutch assembly. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly secured to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission.

What does the wrench symbol on the Volkswagen Sagitar dashboard mean?

The small wrench displayed on the Volkswagen Sagitar dashboard indicates that the vehicle has reached its maintenance interval, reminding the owner to perform maintenance. Here are the details: 1. The "small wrench" symbol on the car dashboard does not represent a vehicle malfunction; it is merely a maintenance reminder indicator. 2. The vehicle's maintenance cycle is preset during manufacturing, so the "small wrench" will appear at certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. If the vehicle is properly maintained, the "small wrench" symbol can be manually reset. Below are three common methods to reset the "small wrench" symbol: (1) Insert the key, but only insert it without turning. (2) Press and hold the operation lever inside the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on. (3) After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine.

Can I drive on the highway with a driver's license less than one year old?

Drivers with a license less than one year old must be accompanied by a licensed driver with at least 3 years of experience to drive on the highway. Here is some information about driving on the highway with temporary license plates: 1. Cross-administrative temporary license plates: Vehicles with cross-administrative temporary license plates can drive across provinces, whether within the province or outside, without any issues, and there is no need to worry about driving on the highway. Cross-provincial temporary license plates are visually distinct from non-cross-provincial ones, with cross-provincial plates featuring brown-yellow backgrounds and black text. 2. Test vehicle temporary license plates: Test vehicle temporary license plates are generally only used for internal test vehicles by car manufacturers or media test vehicles. There are more restrictions on driving with test vehicle temporary license plates. Normally, test vehicle temporary license plates will specify restricted roads, and they are usually prohibited from driving on highways and ring roads.

What damage does refueling without turning off the engine cause to the car?

Refueling without turning off the engine generally does not cause any adverse consequences to the vehicle, but it poses certain safety hazards. The vehicle's electrical equipment remains operational, and the engine is running at high temperatures. If there is any electrical leakage, it could potentially lead to a fire. Therefore, when refueling the car, it is essential to remember to turn off the engine and power, and only restart the vehicle after refueling is complete and the fuel tank cap is securely closed. Below is more information on refueling precautions: 1. Never refuel the car before turning off the engine. 2. If the attendant has not turned off the fuel nozzle, the driver must never start the car, as this could easily cause a fire. 3. It is best not to refuel during thunderstorms. This is also a safety consideration to prevent lightning strikes and avoid fires. Since automotive fuel is highly flammable, during refueling, flammable fuel vapors can easily disperse into the surrounding air. If struck by lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Why Can't the Hydraulic Valve Lifter in a Car Be Pressed Down by Hand?

There are several reasons why the hydraulic valve lifter in a car cannot be pressed down by hand: 1. Excessive oil level: If the engine oil level is too high or too low, it may cause aerated oil to enter the hydraulic lifter, forming an elastic body and resulting in valve tapping noise. 2. Low oil pressure: Insufficient lubrication in the hydraulic lifter allows air to enter, causing valve tapping noise. 3. Prolonged engine inactivity: This can lead to excessive compression of the hydraulic lifter, and upon restarting, insufficient oil replenishment may allow air to enter, resulting in valve tapping noise. 4. Hydraulic lifter failure: When valve tapping noise occurs in an engine equipped with hydraulic lifters, the oil level should be checked first. If the oil level is too low, it should be topped up to the standard height.

Does the Dash Cam Record Automatically?

After the vehicle is parked and turned off, the dash cam will automatically shut down and enter a low-power sleep mode. However, once it detects a collision or movement of objects in front, it will immediately wake up and capture the surrounding footage. This ensures both vehicle parking safety monitoring and energy conservation, preventing the risk of battery drain. Below is more information about dash cams: 1. A dash cam refers to a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle operation. It essentially functions as an automotive camera, capable of high-definition recording to fully document the vehicle's journey, including images, sounds, and vehicle status data. 2. Dash cams with parking monitoring features can continue recording after the vehicle is turned off, but typically only for a few minutes, as the dash cam is not charging when the vehicle is off. The parking monitoring function of dash cams comes in two types: one is continuous recording, and the other is short-duration recording triggered only when the vehicle experiences vibrations.
