Transmission fluid is indeed the same as gearbox oil. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. To keep the gear shifting system clean; 2. To lubricate the transmission components. Signs indicating the need for transmission fluid replacement include: 1. Vehicle shaking and gear shifting jerks; 2. Transmission overheating warning appearing on the dashboard; 3. Engine stalling; 4. Unusual noises. Methods for replacing transmission fluid are: 1. Gravity replacement - after loosening the fastening nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically drain out through the drain hole; 2. Machine circulation replacement - connecting the transmission and the circulation machine via pipe interfaces to push out the old fluid with new fluid; 3. Oil pan removal replacement.

What Causes Engine Vibration?

Engine vibration can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Engine misfire: This primarily refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly. Common symptoms include intermittent exhaust flow, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, noticeable engine vibration, and sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. This is often related to ignition coil failure. 2. Worn or loose engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibrations and absorb shocks during engine operation, while also securing the engine in place. If these mounts become worn or loose, engine vibration can become significantly worse. Replacing the engine mounts can greatly reduce the vibration. 3. Carbon buildup: Carbon buildup is an unavoidable issue in cars, including carbon deposits in the cylinders, throttle body, spark plugs, and intake system. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine can affect ignition energy, air intake efficiency, and the air-fuel mixture ratio, leading to unstable power output and vibration during idling and acceleration. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for an engine cleaning service to address this issue.

What is the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Tiggo 3?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Tiggo 3 as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 7.3L/100km. Factors affecting a car's fuel consumption include: 1. Displacement: The engine's displacement has a certain impact on the car's fuel consumption, but this impact is a fixed value. 2. Tire pressure: The car's fuel consumption is also directly related to tire pressure. When the tire pressure is too high or too low, the car's fuel consumption will increase. 3. Road conditions: The road conditions on which the car is driven also affect fuel consumption. Information regarding comprehensive fuel consumption is as follows: 1. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology adopts an indirect measurement method: For light vehicles, the entire vehicle is placed on a test bench to simulate the actual driving speed and load on the road, operating under certain conditions (such as idling, acceleration, etc.), measuring the emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, and calculating fuel consumption using the carbon balance method. 2. Comprehensive fuel consumption: It is calculated by dividing the total emissions of urban and suburban cycles by the total mileage completed in these two cycles, using the emissions to correspondingly calculate the fuel consumption value.

What causes abnormal noise from car tires?

Tire abnormal noise can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Suspension ball joint: Loose lower suspension arm ball joint with excessive clearance can produce noise when the car bumps. 2. Aging plastic components: Loose stabilizer bar bushings with excessive clearance will also generate abnormal noise. 3. Damaged shock absorber: A faulty shock absorber can cause noise when driving on uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long service life, they are still a wearable component. If the vehicle operates in harsh conditions or is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage may occur. Additional information: If the buffer rubber has aged, simply replace the rubber. If the shock absorber is damaged or leaking, the entire shock absorber needs to be replaced.

How far can a general 60V 20Ah battery go?

Generally, it can travel 50-60 kilometers. When driving in low gear, a single person can travel about 70 kilometers, in medium gear about 60 kilometers, and in high gear about 45-50 kilometers. Factors affecting the range: 1. Road conditions: Whether there are many traffic lights, traffic congestion, uphill roads, bumpy roads, smooth roads, or frequent starts—all these can consume a lot of electrical energy and affect the range. 2. Temperature: Low temperatures in winter significantly impact battery capacity, sometimes reducing it by half. 3. Driving habits: Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, as these can reduce the range.

Does the Santa Fe cigarette lighter have current limiting?

The Santa Fe cigarette lighter has current limiting. The cigarette lighter is a component found in all vehicles, designed to provide a flame source for smokers. Commonly referred to cigarette lighters can be divided into those that draw power from the vehicle's electrical system. Some manufacturers produce cigarette lighters not for lighting cigarettes but solely for drawing power from the vehicle, which are also known as cigar lighters. The method for removing and installing the cigarette lighter is as follows: 1. Unscrew the housing: For some vehicles, the cigarette lighter socket has a screwed-on housing at the back, which can be unscrewed by turning it counterclockwise and reinstalled by turning it clockwise; 2. Remove screws: For some vehicles, the cigarette lighter socket is secured with screws at the back. Simply use a wrench to remove the screws to take it off, and reinstall it by screwing the screws back in; 3. Remove the panel: Remove the gear shift lever panel, which is attached with plastic clips. You can pry one side up by hand or with a flathead screwdriver to detach the entire panel; 4. Remove panel screws: After removing the gear shift lever panel, the cigarette lighter panel door will automatically open, revealing two black screws. Use an M4 hex key to remove them; 5. Remove the panel box: Pull the plastic panel box of the cigarette lighter out by hand. When it's pulled out about 10 centimeters, disconnect the wiring harness before pulling the entire box out; 6. Operate the inner and outer rings: The cigarette lighter consists of an outer and inner ring. Press the inner ring in to use it. Once it reaches a certain temperature, the inner ring will automatically return to its original position, at which point you can pull it out by holding the outer ring.
