Volkswagen Lamando is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. Below is additional information: Differences between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions: The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, whereas those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil. Unique technical features of the Lamando's dry dual-clutch transmission: Lightweight: The entire transmission of the Lamando weighs only about 72 kg, whereas a typical AT transmission weighs at least 100 kg. Fast shifting: The principle of a dry dual-clutch is similar to that of a manual transmission, both using clamped friction plates for power transmission. The dual-clutch has two clutches, one responsible for odd-numbered gears and the other for even-numbered gears. Shifting gears essentially involves switching between the clutches.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Lamando for several years and feel that the car's dual-clutch transmission is dry-type. It can have slight vibrations when stuck in city traffic, but overall it's responsive and fuel-efficient. Driving in the city, overtaking or accelerating is smooth. However, it may overheat at high temperatures, so it's recommended to avoid shutting down directly after prolonged low-speed driving. For maintenance, regular checks of the clutch plates and transmission oil are sufficient, making it much more hassle-free. After getting used to it, I find it quite suitable for daily commuting, with low fuel consumption being a highlight.

Why does the Audi A4's fan keep running after the engine is turned off?

This is a normal phenomenon. Although the car has been turned off, the engine temperature remains high. The vehicle's computer will automatically activate the cooling fan based on the engine temperature sensor to perform cooling operations. Below is relevant information about the Audi A4: 1. Introduction: As the first model to introduce the long wheelbase and turbo concept, the A4L has enjoyed enduring popularity from the B5 to the B8 generations. The new A4 model has abandoned the "teardrop" headlight design and added the quattro all-wheel-drive mode, making its appearance more stylish and sporty, with even more outstanding power and handling. The interior craftsmanship is exquisite, featuring rich technological configurations and ample space, offering excellent practicality among B-segment vehicles. 2. Achievements: The Audi A4 produced by FAW-Volkswagen is the first B-segment sedan from an international luxury brand in China, filling the gap in the domestic B-segment sedan market and solidifying FAW-Volkswagen's leading position in the domestic luxury car market. This was quite significant at the time, and judging by the sales of the Audi A4 in China, it has indeed been successful.

Third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation in the 3-point category. Explanation of behavior classification codes: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002.

What is the emission standard for cars from 2016?

2016 cars may comply with either the China IV or China V emission standards. The China V emission standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, but some cities adopted it earlier. Car owners can identify their vehicle's emission standard through the car's invoice, environmental label, and vehicle registration certificate. Below are the impacts brought by the China VI emission standard: 1. China IV vehicles may no longer be allowed to register, and China V new cars may depreciate faster: After the implementation of the China VI emission standard, China V and China IV vehicles will be affected. China IV vehicles may face registration bans or driving restrictions. After the launch of China VI, the resale value of China V vehicles will drop, causing a significant impact on the used car market. The restriction on relocation policies will ultimately lead to a decline in used car prices. 2. Consumer car purchase costs may increase: Due to the stricter China VI emission standard, automakers will upgrade components, leading to rising R&D costs and price increases, which will also raise the cost of car purchases for consumers. This is something consumers need to consider when buying a car. 3. Vehicle usage costs may increase: With stricter emission standards, fuel quality will also be upgraded, leading to higher fuel costs. Additionally, vehicle maintenance costs may change accordingly.
