The engine belt of a motor vehicle should be replaced every 2 years or after reaching a mileage of 60,000 kilometers. As a rubber product, the engine belt is prone to wear and aging with prolonged use. Therefore, manufacturers have strict requirements for replacing the engine belt and its accessories within the specified time frame. The engine belt connects to the crankshaft to ensure the accuracy of the engine's intake and exhaust timing. Compared to gears, the engine belt produces less noise and offers more precise transmission. The engine relies on the close coordination of the belt, which transfers kinetic energy to various components under the drive of the crankshaft, ensuring the stable operation of the engine system.

Is the Haval H6 Dual Clutch Dry or Wet?

Haval H6 adopts a wet dual-clutch transmission. The following is an introduction about Haval H6: 1. Haval H6 is divided into the standard version and the coupe version, both of which use wet dual-clutch transmissions. Specifically, the standard Haval H6 is equipped with a 7DCT300 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, while the coupe version of Haval H6 uses a 6DCT451 six-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. 2. Compared to dry dual-clutch transmissions that use air to cool the clutch, wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil to cool the gearbox. This design allows the wet dual-clutch transmission to perform better in terms of heat dissipation and provides smoother gear shifting.

Why does the ABS light come on?

ABS light comes on for the following reasons: Reason 1: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding vehicle speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt off the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Reason 2: Poor signal due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay, leading to system failure. The most common issue is a loose speed sensor connector causing the fault. In such cases, the ABS computer's fault memory will also indicate a poor speed sensor signal. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts.

What is a Timing Belt in a Car?

The timing belt is a crucial component of an engine's valve train system. Here are the specific details: 1. Function: It drives the engine's valve mechanism, connecting the timing pulley on the engine cylinder head at the top and the crankshaft timing pulley at the bottom. This ensures the engine's intake and exhaust valves open or close at the correct time, allowing the engine cylinders to properly intake and exhaust air. 2. History: Timing belts first appeared in the 1960s and were used in most 4-cylinder vehicles, with increasing application in V6 engines. Initially used in overhead cam engines, timing belts are more prone to wear compared to traditional timing chains.

How to Disconnect the Negative Terminal of a Car Battery?

Steps to disconnect the negative terminal of a car battery are as follows: 1. First, open the two fastening buttons of the thermal insulation cover, lift the red and black insulating caps on the positive and negative terminals, and locate the tightening nut of the battery's negative terminal. 2. Use a wrench to loosen the tightening nut of the negative terminal, then gently pry open the fastening block with a flat-head screwdriver. At this point, you can directly pull out the negative terminal. 3. Note: During removal, always follow the sequence of 'negative terminal first, then positive terminal' (the opposite of the installation sequence). If done in reverse, it may cause a short circuit in the car battery, and in severe cases, could lead to sparking.

What is the Function of a Central Differential?

The function of a central differential is: when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, it allows the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, ensuring that both driving wheels perform pure rolling motion. The central differential refers to a component in multi-axle drive vehicles, where the drive axles are connected by drive shafts. To enable each drive axle to potentially have different input angular velocities and eliminate wheel slippage, a central differential can be installed between the drive axles. The main types of central differentials include conventional central differentials, multi-plate clutch central differentials, Torsen central differentials, and viscous coupling central differentials.
