The type of transmission in the Lamando depends on the model: the 1.8t variant comes with a wet transmission, while other models are equipped with dry transmissions. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1826mm, height 1425mm, with a wheelbase of 2656mm, a minimum ground clearance of 110mm, and a curb weight of 1325kg. The 2021 Lamando features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.4t inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131ps, a maximum torque of 225nm, and a peak power of 96kw, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving my Lamando for two years now, equipped with a 1.4T engine paired with a dry dual-clutch transmission. The response at startup is quite quick, and while commuting in the city, I occasionally experience slight jerks during traffic jams. However, as long as regular maintenance is performed, such as changing the transmission oil once a year, it runs very smoothly. The advantage of the dry type is its light weight and low fuel consumption, saving an average of 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers is no problem. The downside is that the clutch is prone to overheating and wear in high-temperature environments or during frequent stop-and-go driving. Fortunately, the Lamando's design takes this into account, offering high overall reliability, and it handles long-distance driving without issues—I've taken several trips spanning hundreds of kilometers without any faults. Simple maintenance is sufficient, and I recommend considering your driving habits when making a choice.

From a technical perspective, the majority of the Lingdu's transmissions are of the dry dual-clutch type, particularly those paired with the 1.4T engine, which is quite common. The difference between dry and wet types lies in the cooling method: dry types rely on air cooling, offering compact size and high efficiency, making them suitable for daily fuel-saving needs; wet types, immersed in oil, are more durable, but the Lingdu opts for dry types primarily due to lower costs and weight reduction. This design delivers direct and powerful acceleration performance, with a short 0-100km/h time, though in high-temperature areas, more frequent checks are needed to prevent overheating. Compared to other Volkswagen models, the Lingdu's insistence on dry types is to balance performance and price, making it fully adequate for daily driving. When encountering complex road conditions, remember to slow down to allow the system to cool. Technical enthusiasts can regularly read OBD data to monitor the working status.

From a safety perspective, driving the Lamando requires awareness of its dry-clutch transmission, which impacts driving reliability. I exercise extra caution on rainy and slippery roads because insufficient maintenance of the dry clutch can lead to jerking or minor slipping risks, especially during frequent stop-and-go traffic. Ensure a professional inspection of the clutch plate wear every two years to prevent potential failures from escalating. Remember safe driving habits: avoid sudden acceleration or heavy-load uphill driving to protect the system. These details significantly reduce accidents and ensure the safety of both the driver and passengers.

Does ETC require account cancellation?

ETC does not need to be canceled, but if you change to a new car without changing the license plate number, you must cancel it at the business office and reapply. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device failure of the front vehicle or no ETC device at all, you should keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to prevent automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to charging failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank that issued the ETC card or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not caused by human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to charging failure. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card to pass. Poor sensing due to the excessive thickness of the car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have undergone windshield replacement after an accident or those with modified front windshields, extra attention is needed.

What are the configurations of the new Toyota Corolla?

Corolla, formerly known as "Corolla" in Chinese, is a brand under Toyota Motor. Here is more information about the Corolla: 1. The Corolla features a balanced and elegant exterior design, exuding a sense of stability, making it well-suited for family use. The interior adopts a minimalist overall style, with a conventional center console design and spacious, comfortable seats that boast good craftsmanship. In terms of seating space, when the front seat is adjusted to its lowest position for a tester who is 177cm tall, there is one fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moves to the rear seat, the headroom reduces to two fingers, while legroom measures one fist and three fingers. The floor hump in the middle of the rear seat is minimal. 2. The overall driving experience is comfortable, with smooth operation, but the steering lacks precise direction accuracy. There is noticeable gear shift shock, but noise levels are low, especially when idling, where it remains quiet. The suspension tuning is on the softer side, effectively absorbing road bumps for better comfort, though the brakes feel somewhat soft. 3. The overall power performance is good, with quick acceleration, though the initial start is slow. Engine noise is minimal, but tire noise becomes more pronounced when driving over 80 km/h. The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, delivering robust power in the 2.0L variant. The six-speed manual transmission offers high precision with clear gear engagement.

Why can't the Audi A6L start when the engine is hot?

The reasons why the Audi A6L cannot start when the engine is hot are as follows: Fuel injector leakage: Fuel injection by the injector is normal, but leakage constitutes additional fuel supply. The more severe the injector leakage, the richer the air-fuel mixture becomes, leading to difficulty in starting when the engine is hot. Damaged carbon canister solenoid valve: During a hot start, fuel atomization is normal and no additional fuel vapor is needed. If the carbon canister continues to supply fuel vapor to the intake manifold, it will cause an overly rich air-fuel mixture, resulting in difficulty starting. Faulty intake air temperature sensor: The intake air temperature sensor adjusts the fuel injection quantity. If it malfunctions, it can cause difficulty in starting when the engine is hot.

What is the reason for the failure of the Audi A3 hill hold assist function?

Audi A3 hill hold assist function failure is caused by sensor malfunction. Sensor malfunction: The hill hold assist function failure is caused by sensor malfunction. The hill hold assist system mainly relies on two sensors to function: one is the vehicle longitudinal position balance sensor, and the other is the tire torque sensor. If the sensors malfunction, the hill hold assist function cannot operate normally. The two sensors relied upon by the hill hold assist system: One is the vehicle longitudinal position balance sensor, and the other is the tire torque sensor, which mainly monitors the negative torque of the tires. The hill hold assist system includes uphill assist and downhill assist. Uphill assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting on an uphill slope, while downhill assist controls the braking system on steep downhill slopes to maintain a certain speed.

What is the fuel consumption of the Audi A6L 2.5?

Audi A6L 2.5 has a fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. Introduction to Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the constant-speed fuel economy, which is an indicator of a car's fuel efficiency when driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Introduction to Combined Fuel Consumption: Combined fuel consumption is tested under various conditions such as urban roads, highways, and different load capacities. It serves only as a reference, and actual fuel consumption may be higher or lower than this figure. For example, driving daily in busy city areas with frequent hard braking and acceleration can lead to higher fuel consumption, even reaching 10L/100km, which is quite normal.
