The lifespan of Audi's wet dual-clutch transmission is approximately 20 years or 500,000 kilometers, which largely depends on individual driving habits. Avoid prolonged low-speed driving: During traffic congestion, the clutch plates remain in a semi-engaged state and frequently shift between first and second gears, which accelerates wear and reduces lifespan. In such situations, shifting to S mode for low-speed driving is recommended. Avoid shifting too quickly: This does not refer to gear changes during normal driving, but rather to situations like reversing when the car hasn't fully stopped before immediately shifting to drive. Such actions cause severe gear impacts, thereby shortening the dual-clutch transmission's service life.

What is the displacement of the Focus?

The displacement of the Focus is 1.8L. Automobile displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle, and it is an important parameter for measuring a car. Some domestic cars have their displacement marked on the body or rear of the vehicle. In terms of configuration, the Focus is equipped with front and rear center armrests, rear cup holders, hill start assist, etc. The dimensions of the Focus are 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The engine it is equipped with has a maximum horsepower of 122Ps, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 153Nm.

How much antifreeze is needed for a full fill?

Antifreeze requires 6 to 7 liters for a full fill. The methods to check if antifreeze is low are: 1. Check the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard; 2. Observe the liquid level in the reservoir. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. Antifreeze has properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and preventing scale and corrosion all year round. Tips for selecting antifreeze: 1. Choose the freezing point based on the ambient temperature conditions where the car is used. The antifreeze's grade is its freezing point, which should be about 10 degrees lower than the local winter's lowest temperature; 2. Choose antifreeze with rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and descaling functions.

What are the signs of a faulty ignition coil?

The main precursor of a faulty ignition coil is the weakening of the spark plug's firing capability. As the spark plug's firing capability weakens, the combustion of the engine's combustible gas mixture will be affected, leading to adverse reactions such as increased fuel consumption and reduced power. The weakening of the spark plug's firing capability can cause incomplete combustion of the combustible gas mixture, which in turn produces a carbon-like substance called carbon deposits. As a core component of the engine's ignition system, the car's ignition coil is responsible for intermittently converting the vehicle's low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity. If the engine does not have the high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil, the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder will not be ignited, and the engine will not be able to function properly.

What does L gear mean?

L gear refers to the low gear. When going downhill or on long slopes, shifting to this gear restricts the car's automatic transmission to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine braking when descending, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger. D gear is the drive gear, and the car must be shifted to D to move forward. P gear is the parking gear; when the car is parked and not in use, shifting to this gear mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling. R gear is the reverse gear, used when backing up the car.

What does it mean when the cruisemain light is on?

cruisemain light indicates that the vehicle's cruise control mode is activated. This system can only be engaged when the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h. During highway driving, after setting the desired speed, you can release the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will maintain a constant speed. Some high-end models' cruise control systems feature automatic trajectory recognition and obstacle avoidance capabilities. For instance, when going uphill or downhill, the cruise control system can automatically compensate to maintain a relatively constant vehicle speed. Cruise control is also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the set speed without requiring the driver to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed.

Can You Make a U-Turn Over a Solid Yellow Line?

Making a U-turn over a solid yellow line is not allowed and constitutes a traffic violation. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. On long stretches of roads, solid white lines, dashed white lines, solid yellow lines, or dashed yellow lines are typically present in the middle sections or before intersections. U-turns are prohibited wherever solid lines are present. Permissible U-turn scenarios: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn is allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. In the absence of a traffic light, perform the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs: U-turns are permitted where there is no explicit prohibition. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No left-turn" signs and the absence of solid lines in the center of the road. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances/exits of important facilities, or other designated areas. Stopping on these lines (including waiting at traffic lights) is a violation. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central road barrier. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, proceed only when it is green. Simultaneous presence of no-left-turn and U-turn-allowed signs: U-turns are permitted even if left turns are prohibited, but "No U-turn" does not mean "No left-turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings—U-turns are never allowed over solid lines under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If a "No left-turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, as U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are not allowed from the second left-turn lane. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with straight-moving vehicles, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows—some may have straight arrows. Even without explicit "No U-turn" signs, U-turns are prohibited in such lanes. U-turns on crosswalks are illegal and constitute a violation.
