CVT belongs to automatic transmission. Vehicle transmissions can be divided into two major categories: manual transmission and automatic transmission. The automatic transmission can be further subdivided into four types: AT (automatic transmission), AMT (semi-automatic transmission), DTC (dual-clutch transmission), and CVT (continuously variable transmission). Advantages and disadvantages of CVT continuously variable transmission: 1. Advantages: Since there are no transmission gears like in conventional automatic transmissions, the accompanying gearshift jerks are eliminated. Therefore, the power output of CVT transmission is linear, providing an exceptionally smooth driving experience in practice. 2. Disadvantages: Compared to traditional automatic transmissions, CVT has not been applied in vehicles for a long time. There are still few CVT-equipped vehicles in the domestic market, which means the maintenance cost of CVT is relatively high, and the probability of problems arising from improper operation is higher.

What Are the Consequences of Not Cleaning the Throttle Body?

Not cleaning the throttle body can lead to increased fuel consumption, more carbon deposits, unstable idling or abnormal fluctuations in the vehicle, and over time, it may even prevent the vehicle from starting. If you experience unstable idling, difficulty starting the engine, or the engine starts but the vehicle doesn't move, accompanied by noticeable vibrations, it's time to clean the throttle body. The function of the throttle body: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine, located between the air filter and the intake manifold. Its primary role is to adjust the amount of air entering the engine. The depth of pressing the accelerator pedal directly affects the throttle opening, so idle speed, power performance, etc., are all related to the cleanliness of the throttle body.

What are the tips for parallel parking in Subject 2?

Parallel parking tips are as follows: Start the car in low gear, and turn the steering wheel to the right when the driver aligns with the third reference point. When the car moves to the position where the front of the car is between the third and fourth reference points, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to steer the car toward the left side of the road. When the front of the car approaches the left edge of the road, quickly turn the steering wheel back and stop immediately. Shift the car into reverse gear and back up. When the rear of the car approaches the right edge of the parking space (garage), quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the maximum position. When both sides of the car body are parallel to the edge of the parking space (garage), quickly straighten the steering wheel and stop. Precautions: Maintain an upright sitting posture, which is crucial for accurately judging each reference point; when entering the parking area, park as close to the right side of the road as possible, but do not cross the yellow right edge line to avoid backing up too far and crossing the line. Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For applicants applying for other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

How to Check the Oil Dipstick on a Volkswagen?

Volkswagen Sagitar oil dipstick checking method: Pull out the dipstick by gripping its top end (hand on top, dipstick hanging down). Typically, there are three marks on the dipstick—upper, middle, and lower—or sometimes just upper and lower marks. The lowest mark indicates the minimum oil level; the top mark indicates the maximum oil level; the middle mark represents the standard oil level. The oil level should not be below the minimum mark nor exceed the maximum mark—it should ideally be at the middle mark. The oil dipstick is a commonly used measuring tool to check the static oil level height, indicating whether the engine oil level is within the reasonable range (between the upper and lower limits). The oil dipstick is usually located next to the engine and has a distinctive feature—a pull ring. You can pull it out by firmly tugging the ring upwards.
