For the Chery Tiggo 8 1.6t, the transmission fluid should generally be changed every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Method for changing the transmission fluid: Loosen the nut at the bottom of the transmission oil pan to allow the old transmission fluid to drain out naturally by gravity; connect the transmission to a circulation machine via pipeline interfaces, and the new transmission fluid will push out the old fluid under pressure; remove the oil pan to change the fluid. Methods to determine if the transmission fluid needs to be changed: Pull out the dipstick and smell it closely—if there is a strong sour or foul odor, it indicates the fluid has deteriorated and should be changed; take out some old fluid and rub it repeatedly between your thumb and forefinger—if you feel impurities, poor viscosity, or even a gritty sensation, it should be changed; hold the dipstick at a 45-degree angle under light to observe the fluid droplets—if you can clearly see no metal particles, the fluid is in good condition. If there are many metal particles, the fluid should be changed.

What maintenance items should be performed at 100,000 kilometers?

Maintenance items at 100,000 kilometers include changing the engine oil and oil filter, inspecting or replacing components such as shock absorbers and power steering fluid, etc. The following are detailed explanations: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is a mandatory task for every maintenance service. Due to the harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the engine, the shelf life of the oil is significantly shortened, and its performance greatly diminishes. Over time, it can no longer protect the engine effectively. 2. There is another filter that needs attention—the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter functions similarly to the engine air filter. To ensure fresh air while using the car's air conditioning, the cabin air filter should be replaced regularly. 3. In the braking system, special attention should be paid to the brake fluid and brake pads. Since brake fluid is affected by environmental humidity, prolonged use can lead to reduced braking performance. 4. The replacement interval for spark plugs depends on their material. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 2-4 years.

How to Calculate Fuel Consumption?

Automobile fuel consumption is generally calculated based on a hundred kilometers. The calculation formula is: fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = fuel consumption in liters divided by driving distance in kilometers multiplied by 100. However, fuel consumption calculation is not absolute, as it is related to individual driving habits, vehicle load, and road conditions. More methods for calculating automobile fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Search for a fuel consumption calculator in a browser. 2. First, input the total kilometers driven since the last full tank of fuel, or the kilometers driven after the last refueling. Accurate data can be obtained by checking the odometer. 3. Input the fuel tank capacity or the amount of fuel added, depending on your actual situation. 4. Then input the fuel price at the time of refueling, based on the actual amount paid. 5. Click calculate to get the fuel consumption result.

Can I Replace Car Brake Pads Myself?

Brake pads can be replaced by yourself, but it requires some time and effort. When you notice that the brake pads have become thinner, the brakes make unusual noises, the brake pedal feels lighter, or braking becomes laborious, it's time to replace the brake pads. When replacing brake pads, those on the same axle should be replaced together to ensure even braking force on both sides. Below are the steps for replacing brake pads yourself: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire to replace the brake pads; 2. Unscrew the brake caliper bolts, open the brake caliper, and remove the old brake pads; 3. Push the brake piston back in, then install the new brake pads; 4. Reinstall the brake caliper, tighten the caliper bolts to the specified torque without over-tightening, and then reinstall the tire; 5. After replacing the brake pads, press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the brake pads and the brake disc, allowing the brake piston to reset. Then check if the brake fluid pump is functioning properly. Once confirmed, the brake pad replacement is complete.

How far can you drive when the fuel tank light is on?

When the oil warning light comes on, you should immediately open the engine compartment and check the oil level. If the oil is below the minimum mark, do not continue driving the vehicle. Turn off the engine immediately and wait for assistance, as continued use may cause engine damage. Below are the specific steps for adding oil: 1. If the car's oil is insufficient, you can add it yourself. However, note that when adding oil, it is best to keep the level slightly below the upper mark on the dipstick. First, turn off the engine and open the car's engine hood. 2. Next, locate the oil filler cap and unscrew it. Do not pour the oil directly in at this point. You need to first clean out the old oil from the oil tank. Open the drain plug and collect the old oil in a prepared container. 3. Be sure to use the same brand of oil as the previous oil, and the opened oil should not be older than one year. Once everything is ready, use a funnel to add oil to the tank through the filler hole.

What is the solution for the P0325 trouble code?

p0325 trouble code solution requires considering the replacement of the fuel filter and spark plugs based on the vehicle's accumulated mileage, and performing regular cleaning and maintenance of the throttle body and fuel injectors is very necessary. The causes of the P0325 trouble code include issues with the knock sensor circuit, connectors, the knock sensor itself, or the electronic control module. More details are as follows: 1. The knock sensor is responsible for detecting vibrations when the engine speed changes. The knock sensor then expresses this vibration in the form of voltage. When necessary, the electronic control module (ECU) will prevent knocking by delaying ignition, etc. If this voltage exceeds the calibrated range, this trouble code will appear. 2. The causes of the fault include the knock sensor circuit, connectors, the sensor itself, or the electronic control module (PCM or ECM) fault, etc. After the car's fault is resolved, it is often necessary to clear the trouble code. When clearing the code, it is essential to strictly follow the specified method for clearing the trouble code for the specific vehicle model. Be careful not to remove the negative ground wire of the battery at will to clear the fault code.

What is the difference between CVT and ECVT?

ECVT is a hybrid transmission integrated with an electric motor, and its structure is completely different from CVT. CVT, when compared to traditional AT transmissions, can be understood as a continuously variable transmission, hence its Chinese interpretation as a continuously variable transmission. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. The structure of CVT mainly consists of two sets of pulleys (drive pulley and driven pulley), a transmission belt (steel belt), oil pump, torque converter, actuating mechanism (valve body, oil circuit), sensors, control computer, etc. The composition is relatively complex, and the steel belt has limited torque capacity, so it is generally only used in small vehicles as a transmission system. 2. The structure of ECVT is much simpler. It does not have complex mechanisms such as clutches, torque converters, or gear shaft sets found in traditional transmission systems, but is composed of a set of planetary gears and two electric motors.
