Camry transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers. Generally, the replacement cycle of transmission fluid is calculated in the same way as the vehicle maintenance cycle, based on mileage or usage time. The vehicle manual clearly specifies these two indicators, and the earlier one should be followed. The following are the reasons for changing the transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid working at high speed and temperature for a long time will deteriorate and volatilize, thereby aggravating the wear of mechanical parts and even damaging internal transmission components in severe cases. 2. If the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, the car may experience weak starting when cold. 3. The vehicle may easily experience slight slipping during driving. 4. Long-term failure to change the transmission fluid will cause the fluid to thicken, which can easily block the transmission cooler, leading to overheating of the transmission fluid and increased wear.

What Causes BMW Engine Shaking at Idle?

BMW engine shaking at idle is generally caused by severe carbon buildup in the engine, issues with the ignition system, or unstable fuel pressure. The specific reasons are analyzed as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: When there's excessive carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline injected by the cold-start fuel injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. In this situation, the engine only starts easily after the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction and burned, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This alternation between lean and rich mixtures causes idle shaking after cold starts. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for cold starts, and carbon deposits will significantly affect whether cold starts proceed smoothly. 2. Ignition system problems: Poor spark plug performance can also lead to such shaking phenomena. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: Abnormal fuel pump pressure or malfunctioning intake pressure sensors can both cause vehicle shaking.

How Long Can a Repaired Water-Damaged Engine Last?

Generally, a repaired water-damaged engine can last for 4-5 years without issues. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. When the damage is minor: The lifespan of the repaired engine depends on the extent of damage. If the engine only suffered water ingress without actual damage, it simply requires removing the spark plugs to drain the water and replacing the engine oil and coolant. In this case, the engine itself remains unaffected and can last as long as a normal car. 2. When the damage is severe: If water enters the cylinders along with the engine, the situation becomes complicated. Water in the cylinders can cause connecting rods to bend or even break, potentially damaging the engine block. In such cases, it's hard to predict the outcome as the engine needs to be disassembled to replace the connecting rods or even the entire block. The durability of the repaired engine is uncertain and depends on the quality of repairs and replacement parts. If the engine is carefully repaired after water damage, it can still function normally. However, if the parts are of poor quality or the repair work is subpar, the engine may develop problems during future use.

What are the reasons for lack of power in 4th and 5th gears?

The reasons for lack of power in 4th and 5th gears are as follows: Throttle Position Sensor Malfunction: When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the cable drives the throttle valve, which is the throttle. The throttle valve is equipped with a position sensor. The control unit uses the signal from the throttle position sensor to determine the throttle opening and then calculates the corresponding signal voltage. Finally, the vehicle's fuel injection volume is calculated based on this signal voltage. Therefore, if the throttle position sensor is dirty or the voltage is unbalanced, it can lead to electronic throttle failure, resulting in the situation where the speed does not increase even when the accelerator pedal is fully pressed. Engine Malfunction: Among the three systems of the engine—intake, fuel, and ignition—the throttle position sensor signal, as mentioned earlier, is actually part of the intake system. For the engine to operate normally, it requires sufficient air. If there is a leak or blockage in the intake system, the car may experience reduced power, inability to increase RPM, and body shaking when the accelerator pedal is pressed.

What Causes the Coolant Level to Drop by Half in Just a Few Days?

Coolant reduction is a normal phenomenon, including engine oil and windshield washer fluid, which will decrease during vehicle usage. The primary reason for coolant reduction is natural evaporation. Coolant serves to cool the car engine, which often operates at high temperatures. Since the coolant is in contact with the engine, some consumption is normal. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, coolants are available with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to determine if coolant is low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low coolant, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the coolant reservoir. If the level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; promptly add coolant. Inspect the water level markings on the coolant overflow tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if coolant is low, check the markings. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage.

How long will a motorcycle be deregistered if it fails the annual inspection?

A motorcycle will be deregistered if it fails the annual inspection for 3 years. You can bring your ID card and driver's license to the local vehicle management office (or traffic police brigade) to check whether it has been deregistered, and then apply for a replacement driver's license. Motorcycle annual inspection time regulations: For trucks and large and medium-sized non-operating passenger vehicles, the inspection is required once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months. For small and mini non-operating passenger vehicles, the inspection is required once every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months. For motorcycles, the inspection is required once every 2 years within 4 years; after 4 years, once a year. Motorcycle annual inspection notes: Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections on the specified dates from the date of registration, once every six months. Vehicles that fail the inspection will be subject to compulsory scrapping measures.
