The 1.4-liter version of the Tayron is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0-liter version features a wet dual-clutch transmission. Below is a related introduction to dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Dual-clutch transmissions can be mainly divided into dry and wet types: 1. Wet dual-clutch: A wet dual-clutch transmission must have a hydraulic pump, lubricating fluid, cooling pipes, and an external cooling system. A wet dual-clutch refers to two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, coaxially installed together. They are both housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil, giving the wet clutch structure better adjustment capabilities and excellent thermal properties, allowing it to transmit relatively large torque. 2. Dry dual-clutch: The dry dual-clutch was developed based on the technology of the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch, simplifying the related hydraulic system. 2. The biggest difference between dry and wet clutches is the connecting medium between the driving plate and the driven plate. A dry dual-clutch relies on air for transmission, while a wet dual-clutch relies on oil.

I bought the Tayron 280TSI last year, which comes with a dry dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4T engine paired with it mainly aims for lightweight and fuel efficiency. The difference between dry and wet types is significant—the dry type lacks an oil cooling system, and the friction plates work directly, making it prone to jerking when overheated, but it performs well in city driving and is cheaper to maintain. The wet type is only available on the 330TSI, paired with a 2.0T engine for better durability since the oil bath provides better heat dissipation, making it more suitable for long-distance highway driving. When choosing a car, consider your driving conditions: if you often face traffic jams, the wet type is more reliable; for daily commutes, the dry type is sufficient. I also researched that the Tayron's transmission is generally reliable, and Volkswagen has made significant improvements in recent years. Just remember to maintain it regularly to avoid stuttering. I struggled with the model choice initially but ultimately went for the dry type for fuel efficiency, and it’s been fine.

Is there a warranty period for new cars?

New cars come with a three-year warranty, which generally covers the three major components: engine, chassis, and transmission. Additional details are as follows: 1. Warranty conditions: The warranty conditions are usually included in the maintenance manual provided at the time of purchase. If the vehicle is not maintained according to the specified schedule and issues arise, even if the vehicle is still within the warranty period, certain repair costs may apply. Unauthorized modifications, changes in vehicle usage, use for rental or competitive racing, or improper operation can void the warranty. 2. Warranty periods for different components: For critical components like the engine, transmission, chassis, and drivetrain, the warranty period is typically five years or 100,000 kilometers. For wear-and-tear parts such as tires, rims, brake pads, brake discs, and headlights, the warranty usually lasts only 3 to 6 months or 5,000 kilometers.

What is the fuel consumption of the Geely King Kong?

Geely King Kong 1.5L manual transmission model has a combined fuel consumption of around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the automatic transmission version consumes approximately 8 liters. Below is additional information: 1. Fuel consumption factors: Rough roads increase fuel consumption. Poor road conditions or uneven surfaces that require prolonged driving in low gears will inevitably raise fuel usage; using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption; incorrect driving habits can double or even triple fuel consumption. 2. Engine: In terms of power, the Geely King Kong is equipped with the new JLB-4G15 high-performance DVVT engine. This engine is a star product independently developed by Geely Auto and possesses independent intellectual property rights. The Geely King Kong's JLB-4G15 high-performance DVVT engine is paired with a JATCO-4AT transmission.

How to Deal with Water Leakage from Car Doors During Rain

The causes of water leakage from car doors are either damage to the door's waterproof plastic sheet or blockage of the air conditioning drain. Analysis of causes and solutions: 1. Damage to the door's waterproof plastic sheet: If the door's waterproof plastic sheet is damaged and the door has been disassembled or reassembled, it can easily lead to water leakage. The waterproof plastic sheet can be replaced. Additionally, check if the door's sealing rubber strip has aged or cracked, as poor sealing can also cause external water to seep in. 2. Blockage of the air conditioning drain: Air conditioning drainage failure is mainly caused by a blocked air conditioning drain, preventing water from draining outside the vehicle. Water may then overflow from gaps in the evaporator box into the car interior. It is necessary to visit a repair shop for professional diagnosis and troubleshooting.

Why Do Passengers Need to Exit the Vehicle During Tire Inflation?

Here are the specific reasons why passengers must not remain in the vehicle during tire inflation: 1. Impact on Pressure Accuracy: Having passengers in the vehicle adds extra load, which can affect the accuracy of tire pressure readings during inflation. 2. Safety Considerations: For safety reasons, passengers should not be inside the vehicle during tire inflation to prevent injuries in case of a tire blowout or other accidents. Below are precautions for tire inflation: 1. Prioritize Safety: Always use a pressure gauge to monitor tire pressure to avoid overinflation, which could lead to tire bursts. 2. Allow Tires to Cool: After driving, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature and affects pressure readings. 3. Inspect the Valve Stem: Ensure the valve stem and core are properly aligned without protrusions, indentations, or defects that may hinder inflation or pressure measurement.

Are the Drain Holes of a New Car Usually Open or Blocked?

New car drain holes are not blocked. Here is some extended information about drain holes: 1. Location: The sunroof drain holes of a car are usually located inside the A-pillar and C-pillar of the vehicle. There is a round rubber plug, with one on each side of the rear longitudinal beams, similar to the front. When water enters the sunroof channel, it flows towards the drain holes and then exits the vehicle through the drain pipes. 2. Hazards: If the sunroof drain pipe is blocked, water may flow into the car, causing water ingress in the cabin. Once the drain holes are clogged, leaks and water seepage can occur inside the car, damaging the interior panels in minor cases or leading to mechanical components and engine circuit system damage in severe cases. Therefore, it is essential to keep the sunroof drain pipes clear and perform regular maintenance on the sunroof.
