Tiptronic transmission is not the same as an AT transmission. The following are the differences between a Tiptronic transmission and an AT transmission: 1. Different meanings: A Tiptronic transmission is a transmission device that combines manual and automatic shifting functions. An AT transmission refers to a hydraulic automatic transmission, which is one of the four common types of automatic transmissions in cars today. The other three are: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). 2. Different structures: A Tiptronic transmission mainly consists of a standard gearbox (similar to a manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift control mechanism, and an electronic control unit. A hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through hydraulic transmission and planetary gear combinations. It generally consists of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift control mechanism.

What causes the high water temperature in Zhonghua Junjie FRV?

Zhonghua Junjie FRV's high water temperature may be due to a problem with the water circulation. Here is an introduction about the radiator: 1. Concept: The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket for circulation, achieving temperature regulation. It is a part of the car engine. 2. Working principle: The radiator is an important component of a water-cooled engine. As a crucial part of the cooling circuit, it absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, the temperature rise after absorbing the engine block's heat is not significant, so the engine's heat is dissipated through the liquid circuit of the coolant.
