If there is noise when turning the steering wheel in place on an epoxy floor in an underground garage, it is normal. However, if there is noise when turning the steering wheel in place anywhere else, it is abnormal. Below is an introduction to the steering wheel: 1. Introduction to the steering wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. 2. Function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is usually connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures more reasonable installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

How to Distinguish Between Dry and Wet Dual Clutches?

Dry and wet dual clutches are two different types of dual clutches. The method to distinguish between dry and wet dual clutches is as follows: The primary way to differentiate them is by checking whether the clutch friction plates contain lubricating oil. If the clutch friction plates are immersed in lubricating oil, it is called a wet type; otherwise, it is called a dry type. The advantages and disadvantages of dual clutch friction plates are introduced below: 1. The friction plates of a wet dual-clutch transmission are submerged in transmission oil, which provides cooling and lubrication, allowing it to withstand greater loads. However, because more space is required to store the transmission oil and related control mechanisms, the wet dual-clutch friction plates are larger in size and more complex in structure, which can reduce the efficiency of power transmission. 2. On the other hand, the dry dual-clutch transmission omits these components, making its structure simpler and its transmission efficiency higher. However, the drawback is that the lack of transmission oil cooling for the clutch friction plates makes them prone to overheating and burning, thus limiting the maximum torque they can transmit.

What Tires Are Suitable for the Tiguan?

The Tiguan is suitable for 235/55R17 tires. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, as they directly contact the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving. They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and maneuverability while bearing the vehicle's weight. The Tiguan has a body length of 4506mm, width of 1809mm, height of 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. Its engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, and maximum torque of 250nm.
