Chery Tiggo 8 is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. The dry transmission transmits power through multiple friction plates and metal diaphragm plates connected to the input shaft. Power is transmitted when the friction plates and diaphragm plates are pressed together, and power transmission is interrupted when they are separated, which is the same principle as manual transmissions. Dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions share the same power transmission principle, but the working environments of the clutch driving plates and driven plates differ. The dry type operates in air, while the wet type works in oil. Dry dual-clutch transmissions have higher transmission efficiency, but since they can only rely on air for cooling, they are prone to overheating and wear in stop-and-go traffic conditions due to insufficient airflow. Wet dual-clutch transmissions are more durable and less likely to overheat. A clutch cooled by air is called a dry clutch. In use, the clutch should be able to engage and disengage from the power source easily and freely, and should not overheat even when operating in a semi-engaged state for short periods. Because dry clutches are not affected by the resistance of engine oil, they generally have faster engagement response and slightly stronger engagement force. Also, due to the lack of oil cooling, dry clutches usually adopt an exposed design for heat dissipation.

What is the issue with the particulate filter in the Tiguan L?

Because the particulate filter is prone to clogging, which leads to poor exhaust flow and consequently increased fuel consumption. The function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. The principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon soot particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon soot particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide for emission.

What does brakewear mean?

brakewear is a brake wear indicator, which is commonly found in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It indicates the wear of the brake pads on the car. The wear of the brake pads is determined by the vehicle's usage. During the operation of the car, the brake pads will naturally wear out, but the extent of wear depends on the driver's driving habits and the road conditions the vehicle is driven on. Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, a bonded heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The heat-insulating layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide insulation. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, it is pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of decelerating or stopping the vehicle.
