I often follow automotive technology, and the engine in the Lynk & Co 03+ is indeed developed based on Volvo's technology. After the Geely Group acquired Volvo in 2010, the two companies shared the Drive-E engine platform, which is now used in the Lynk & Co 03+. The Drive-E series includes 1.5T and 2.0T options, designed for efficiency with stable power output and good fuel consumption control, sharing core technology with some Volvo models like the S60. It's not a direct copy—Geely made some local optimizations, such as adapting to China's fuel standards, but the core innovation still originates from Volvo. This makes me feel its reliability far surpasses that of typical domestic brands. Every time I drive on the highway, the engine responds quickly and runs smoothly. Overall, this collaboration has made the Lynk & Co 03+ a performance-oriented commuter car with low maintenance costs and easy compatibility with Volvo parts for future upgrades.

What is the principle of steering wheel controlling the wheels?

Automobile steering wheel is a control component, so it is necessary to understand the steering system of the car. The principle of the entire steering mechanism is to convert circular motion into linear motion through a rack and pinion, thereby pushing the wheels to rotate. Speaking solely of the steering wheel, it is essentially a lever. The radius of the steering wheel is the length of the lever arm, and the larger the steering wheel, the more effort-saving it is. Extension: Automobile steering gears are divided into several types. The most common are rack and pinion steering gears and recirculating ball steering gears. The rack and pinion steering system has quickly become the most widely used type of steering system in cars, minivans, and SUVs. Its working mechanism is very simple. The rack and pinion gear set is enclosed in a metal tube, with each end of the rack protruding outside the metal tube and connected by tie rods. The pinion is connected to the steering shaft. When the steering wheel is turned, the pinion rotates, thereby driving the rack to move. The tie rods at each end of the rack are connected to the steering arm of the steering shaft.

Where is the air conditioning thermostat located in the Buick Excelle?

The temperature adjustment switch of the Excelle is located under the dashboard. Below is the relevant introduction about the air conditioning thermostat of the Buick Excelle: 1. The temperature control knob of the Buick Excelle air conditioning system is located on the center console, marked with blue and red labels. 2. A/C is the air conditioning switch. The first knob above is for temperature adjustment, the second is for adjusting the fan speed (turning to 0 turns it off), and the third controls the air outlet position (windshield, head, hands, or feet). Methods to determine whether the thermostat is functioning properly are as follows: 1. Inspection after engine start: Open the filler cap of the coolant tank and check if there is water flow inside. If not, it indicates that the thermostat is damaged or there is debris stuck between the main valve switch. 2. Judging by feeling the temperature of the upper and lower hoses: Start the engine and feel the upper and lower hoses after 3 minutes. If the thermostat is working properly, the temperatures of the upper and lower hoses should be different (usually the upper hose is hot while the lower one is cool). When the engine coolant temperature reaches about 90°C and both hoses become hot, it proves the thermostat is intact.

Is Changing Transmission Fluid Beneficial?

Changing transmission fluid is beneficial. The details are as follows: 1. Benefits of changing transmission fluid: (1) Transmission fluid has functions such as cleaning, lubrication, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. Regularly changing the transmission fluid can clean and lubricate the gearshift system, extend the lifespan of the transmission components, ensure the normal operation of the transmission, and make gear shifts smoother and more effortless, possibly restoring the feeling of a new car. (2) From another perspective, changing transmission fluid can also reduce fuel consumption, meaning that after changing the transmission fluid, the car may become more fuel-efficient. Of course, it is important to use high-quality transmission fluid and avoid counterfeit or inferior products. It is best to use the specific type recommended for your vehicle and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for replacement. 2. Consequences of not changing transmission fluid: (1) If the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it will not only affect the operation but also degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, reducing its lubrication effect. This can lead to accelerated wear of transmission components and an increased likelihood of malfunctions. (2) Over time, the transmission fluid will accumulate impurities, making the transmission dirty. This can result in higher shift RPMs and increased fuel consumption.

Does shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop have any impact?

Shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop has a significant impact. Long-term operation in this manner can cause considerable wear to the vehicle's transmission, although occasional instances may not have a major effect. Shifting to P gear while the vehicle is still in motion is equivalent to abruptly stopping the car, forcibly immobilizing the rotating output shaft, which can cause mechanical shock to the parking brake and brake gears. However, manufacturers have already factored in these potential scenarios during production, so occasional occurrences of this issue will not have a particularly severe impact on the vehicle. It is important to conduct regular inspections and maintenance on the vehicle to reduce the likelihood of malfunctions. The effects of shifting to P gear before the car stops on the vehicle's transmission system are as follows: 1. Render the transmission unusable: If this practice is consistently employed over time, it can lead to significant wear on the transmission, potentially rendering it unusable in severe cases. 2. Cause certain mechanical shocks: If the car is shifted to P gear while still in motion, it is equivalent to abruptly stopping the vehicle, forcibly immobilizing the rotating output shaft, which can cause certain mechanical shocks to the parking brake and brake gears.
