Aisin is the transmission brand used in the Cadillac CT4. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the highest market share in the global automotive automatic transmission sector. The Cadillac CT4 features an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, also known as an 8AT transmission. The AT transmission is a common type of automatic transmission with a relatively complex structure, containing numerous planetary gears and clutch plates inside. The 8-speed automatic manual transmission is equipped with four gear sets and only five shifting components, with only two components engaged during each shift. Additionally, the newly designed axial parallel sliding vane pump enhances transmission efficiency, minimizing energy loss. When using the Cadillac CT4's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Although many modern vehicles feature maintenance-free transmission fluid, 'maintenance-free' does not mean 'no replacement.' Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal bearings, housing, and other components. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic transmission vehicle can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming to demonstrate smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other malfunctions. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or may upshift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, using manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) and placed onto the tow platform. Towing with a rope or directly dragging the vehicle is not recommended.

How often should the Bisu T5 spark plugs be replaced?

Bisu T5 spark plug replacement interval: 1. The service life of Bisu T5 spark plugs does not exceed 20,000 kilometers. 2. Additionally, you can determine whether to replace them earlier or shorten the manual's "standard" interval based on the symptoms of spark plug failure. 3. When the spark plug shows signs of erosion, such as scarring or damage at the top, or if the electrode appears melted or eroded, it indicates that the spark plug is already damaged and should be replaced immediately. Below is relevant information about spark plugs: 1. Prolonged use of spark plugs can lead to aging, causing an increase in the engine's ignition gap, which results in poor engine performance. 2. If there are issues with the spark plugs, the car may experience difficulties starting, unstable engine idle, engine shaking, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, etc. If the engine is not cleaned for a long time, carbon deposits can accumulate, leading to abnormal valve operation and ultimately damaging the engine.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise from the High-Pressure Fuel Pump in Volkswagen Tiguan?

Volkswagen Tiguan high-pressure fuel pump abnormal noise is caused by insufficient fuel in the tank or the gasoline filter not being replaced for a long time. The following is a detailed analysis of the reasons: Insufficient fuel in the tank: When the fuel level warning light on the dashboard lights up, there is approximately 7 liters of fuel remaining in the tank, and the fuel level is roughly at the red line shown in the figure. Due to the low fuel level, the fuel pump motor does not receive sufficient cooling and lubrication, which can cause the motor to overheat or even stop. If the fuel pump frequently operates under such conditions, premature damage to the fuel pump is inevitable. Gasoline filter not replaced for a long time: If the gasoline filter is not replaced for a long time, the fuel supply system of the gasoline filter becomes severely clogged, making it difficult for the fuel pump to pump fuel. Operating under high load for an extended period can lead to damage of the fuel pump.

Can Beer Be Stored in the Car Trunk?

Beer is not recommended to be stored in the car trunk. Reasons for not storing it: In summer, the weather is hot, and the temperature inside the car is even higher than outside. Storing beer in such conditions may cause the temperature inside the beer cans to rise excessively, leading to expansion and rupture. Beer packaging typically indicates a storage temperature range of 5°C to 25°C. Temperatures above or below this range can easily cause beer bottles to explode. During the beer production process, carbon dioxide is pressurized into the bottles. The constant jostling during car movement can cause the carbon dioxide inside the bottles to be continuously released, potentially leading to spontaneous bursting of the beer bottles. It can alter the taste: Beer stored in the car, due to high temperatures, may have its flavor balance disrupted, resulting in poor taste. Additionally, the bitterness from hops and tannins can be oxidized. Therefore, beer is best stored in a cool place or a refrigerator. Besides beer, other alcoholic beverages like white wine and red wine, as well as carbonated drinks and mineral water, should also not be stored in a high-temperature car.

What is the function of the car OBD interface?

OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board-Diagnostic, which translates to "On-Board Diagnostic System". This system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects a situation that may cause excessive emissions, it will immediately issue a warning. The OBD interface in cars mainly has four functions: 1. Display of engine control unit data: The OBD interface can provide various operational data of the vehicle, such as data displayed on the vehicle dashboard, various fuel consumption records, battery voltage, air-fuel ratio, throttle opening, knock count, etc.; 2. Reading fault codes: The OBD interface can be used to read fault codes, which helps in quickly diagnosing vehicle faults and reduces the time required for manual diagnosis; 3. Changing codes to enable more functions: By connecting the vehicle's CAN bus via the OBD interface data cable and adjusting the codes of various modules, many different "hidden" functions can be enabled, achieving "additional configurations"; 4. Reading and flashing ECU-TCU programs: This allows manufacturers to update the ECU control programs at any time, but it is not recommended to modify them by oneself.

How long does it take for the smell of sprayed chassis armor to dissipate in the car?

The smell of sprayed chassis armor in the car can dissipate in about two weeks. Here are some methods to eliminate odors in the car: Ventilate by opening windows and doors: First, open the windows and doors to let the circulating air dilute and disperse the toxic gases inside the car. While driving, try to keep the windows open as much as possible to allow the wind to blow away the toxic gases, which also helps quickly remove odors from the new car. Place activated carbon in the car: Activated carbon has numerous capillaries that possess strong adsorption properties. When toxic gases in the air come into contact with activated carbon, they are adsorbed by these capillaries, thereby purifying the air. Install a car air purifier: Car air purifiers work on the principle of active odor removal, breaking down toxic molecules into harmless gases. They can effectively eliminate odors, as well as bacteria and toxic substances in the car.
