CVT transmission steel belts should generally be replaced after approximately 100,000 kilometers of use. If during driving, severe transmission jerking or loud noises are noticed, it indicates aging of the transmission steel belt, and immediate attention at a 4S shop is required. Most modern CVT transmissions in cars use a steel belt for power transmission. This method allows for changing the transmission ratio by adjusting the size of the pulleys, enabling it to handle greater torque. The working principle of a CVT transmission involves altering the size of the cone pulleys to affect the vehicle's transmission ratio, with power then transmitted via the steel belt or chain. CVT chains are generally less durable than steel belts in practical use. Although CVT chains exert less impact on the cone pulleys, their strength is inferior to that of steel belts, making chain-based CVTs unable to withstand higher torque. While steel belts may generate more noise, they can handle greater torque and offer better durability.

What is the method for replacing Pajero spark plugs?

Pajero spark plug replacement procedure: Open the hood, lift the plastic engine cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust, and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace spark plugs every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the user manual. For reference, platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs between 60,000-80,000 km.

Why is it C1M after downgrading?

After a driver's license is downgraded, it is usually reduced to C1 because the C1 license can be used for life as long as the physical conditions permit. However, it often becomes C1M because the driver's license has an additional M-class vehicle endorsement, and there is no further downgrade option for the M-class. Therefore, it naturally remains included. The C1M license can be considered a combination of the C1 and M licenses, adding the M-class vehicle endorsement to the C1 driver's license. The C1 license allows driving small cars, while the M-class endorsement permits the operation of wheeled self-propelled machinery. C1: Small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles. Small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. M: Vehicles, tire cranes, road rollers, tractors, harvesters, and specialized construction machinery.

Where is the car air conditioning temperature sensor located?

The car air conditioning temperature sensor is usually installed under the dashboard. Below is a detailed introduction to the components of the car air conditioning system: 1. Air conditioning pressure sensor: Generally installed after the dryer, it is used to detect the hydraulic pressure of the liquid refrigerant flowing through the expansion valve. It has three wires: detecting high pressure and low pressure. In case of refrigerant leakage and compressor oil loss after a collision, to prevent compressor damage due to lack of oil, the compressor power is quickly cut off once low pressure is detected. When high pressure is detected, the compressor power needs to be reduced to avoid wasted work. 2. Air conditioning temperature sensor: Generally installed inside the temperature sensing bulb, it is the evaporator temperature sensor. When the temperature drops to a certain level, the compressor needs to be shut down to prevent frosting and eventual ice blockage. 3. Air conditioning compressor relay: Generally installed on the compressor, it is used to control the start, stop, and power switching functions of the compressor.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Releasing the Clutch in a Manual Transmission?

The reason for a 'clunk' sound when releasing the clutch in a manual transmission could be an issue with the clutch pressure plate, which needs to be inspected. The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, installed between the engine and the gearbox. Its function is to connect or disconnect the engine from the gearbox. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages. The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc located between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The clutch disc has a spline in the center that secures a drive shaft, which serves as the power input shaft for the gearbox. The clutch disc is a wear-and-tear component that requires regular replacement. As the vehicle's mileage increases, the clutch disc will gradually wear out. Once the clutch disc wears to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced; otherwise, it may lead to slipping issues.
