The Teana transmission has issues such as oil leakage and inability to accelerate, with a high failure rate. Below is relevant information about the Teana: Design Philosophy: Simple yet not simplistic, comfortable yet not ostentatious, attention to detail without being overly elaborate—these elements are increasingly applied in home design and also define the Teana's unique and tasteful style. Powertrain: The 2021 Teana offers a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with the new intelligent XTRONIC CVT continuously variable transmission, which provides a gear range equivalent to an 8AT. The 2.0T model is equipped with the VC-TURBO variable compression ratio turbocharged engine, which enables intelligent and seamless switching of the engine compression ratio between 8:1 (high performance) and 14:1 (high efficiency).

I've been driving the Teana for five years, and transmission issues are frequently discussed in our car owner groups. The problems mainly occur in older CVT models from 2010 to 2015, with common symptoms like gear shifting jerks or excessive noise. This is largely related to driving habits – aggressive driving or irregular maintenance leading to dirty transmission fluid can easily cause issues. However, the post-2020 models have seen significant improvements with reduced failure rates. Regular transmission fluid changes are crucial – the manufacturer recommends inspection every 40,000 km, and DIY maintenance can save some money. Overall, there's no need for excessive worry as the failure rate remains low with proper usage.

How to Use Expansion Bolts?

Usage of expansion bolts: 1. Drill a hole of corresponding size in the fixed body with an impact electric drill, then insert the bolt and expansion tube into the hole and tighten the nut; 2. There is a large head at the tail of the bolt, and a round tube slightly larger than the bolt diameter is sleeved outside the bolt. When the bolt is tightened, the tail of the large head is brought into the open tube, expanding the tube to achieve the purpose of expansion, thereby fixing the bolt on the ground or wall. Expansion bolts are special threaded connectors used to fix pipe supports, hangers, brackets, or equipment on walls, floors, or columns. The grades of carbon steel bolts are divided into more than 10 grades, including 3.6, 4.6, 4.8, 5.6, 6.8, 8.8, 9.8, 10.9, and 12.9.

What are the symptoms of a broken transmission?

Transmission failure symptoms: 1. Engine stalls when shifting into gear or experiences jerking during gear shifts and driving; 2. Unusual noises while driving: internal grinding or rattling sounds; 3. Vehicle slips, lacks power when starting, or struggles to move. Proper transmission usage methods: 1. Avoid coasting in N gear: coasting in neutral (N) can easily damage the transmission; 2. Do not shift into P gear at traffic lights; 3. Avoid rapid gear shifting; 4. Do not accelerate immediately after a cold start; 5. Shift to N gear during prolonged traffic light stops: When waiting at traffic lights for extended periods, shift from D gear to N gear to reduce strain on the automatic transmission and prolong its lifespan.

What grade of gasoline does the Focus use?

The Focus uses 95-octane gasoline. The gasoline grade represents the anti-knock performance, with higher grades indicating better anti-knock capability. It has no relation to the quality of the gasoline itself, nor does it mean that higher-grade gasoline contains fewer impurities. Gasoline is classified into different grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on octane ratings. The dimensions of the Focus are 4647 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1468 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm. The Focus features front-wheel drive, a MacPherson strut front suspension, a torsion beam rear suspension, and a unibody structure.

What is the reason for the engine speed not dropping when releasing the throttle?

The reason for the engine speed not dropping when releasing the throttle is: the throttle spring has been in a compressed state for a long time, resulting in reduced tension, increased throttle opening, and increased fuel supply, causing the speed indicator to return slowly. It could also be due to faulty components or air leakage in the intake manifold. If the vehicle has just undergone maintenance, a slow drop in engine speed is not considered a fault. The engine speed affects the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with different speeds. For the same engine model, the rated power value may differ depending on its application, and the effective torque also changes with engine conditions. The maximum torque output and its corresponding speed are used as indicators to evaluate the engine's performance in automotive applications.

What are the symptoms of a bad CV joint?

Symptoms of a bad CV joint: There will be signs of oil leakage from the dust cover, and abnormal noises or jamming may occur during use. The CV joint, also known as a constant velocity universal joint, connects the axle shaft to the wheel and is a crucial component in the automotive drivetrain system, ensuring continuous power transmission to the wheels in any direction. There are two common types of CV joints used in cars: one is the fixed-type CV joint, which allows only relative rotation between the driving and driven shafts without axial displacement during torque transmission, typically used near the wheel (outer CV joint). The other is the plunging-type CV joint, which not only allows relative rotation but also axial displacement between the driving and driven shafts during torque transmission, usually located near the drive axle (inner CV joint).

How many points will be deducted for occupying the emergency lane?

Occupying the emergency lane will result in a deduction of 6 points. Situations where a motor vehicle driver commits a violation and is penalized with 6 points at a time include: 1. Driving a motor vehicle during the temporary suspension of the motor vehicle driving license; 2. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights; 3. Driving a motor vehicle on the highway without following regulations under low visibility weather conditions; 4. Obtaining a replacement motor vehicle driving license through concealment or deception. Temporary occupation of the emergency lane is permitted in the following situations: 1. Tire blowout, vehicle brake failure, or steering loss of control; 2. Encountering an accident or fire while driving. The functions of the emergency lane include: 1. Mechanical failure of a motor vehicle rendering it unable to continue normal operation; 2. Passage of privileged vehicles on duty (police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, construction vehicles); 3. Occupancy by the driver or passengers due to urgent physiological conditions (serious life-threatening illness or childbirth); 4. Candidates rushing to an examination.
