Reasons for Jetta's jerky start and fuel starvation: 1. Low engine temperature: Especially during cold starts in winter, the temperature inside the engine is insufficient, and both fuel and lubricant temperatures are low. Therefore, more fuel should be injected during cold starts to meet power requirements. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures leads to decreased ignition energy, affecting power output and causing the car to shake. 2. Carbon deposits in the engine and intake tract: Carbon deposits can absorb an appropriate amount of fuel, causing the ECU to make incorrect judgments. For example, if the computer controls the injection of 100 units of air-fuel mixture, but only 90 units actually enter the cylinder, with 10 units being absorbed by carbon deposits, even if the remaining 90 units burn completely, the required power output still cannot be achieved. 3. Ignition system failure: Aging of the ignition system leads to weakened ignition energy, causing the ignition coil or spark plugs to fail to fire continuously or resulting in intermittent ignition. This discontinuous ignition prevents smooth and continuous power output, leading to the jerky acceleration phenomenon.

What does it mean to check the engine management system?

Checking the engine system means inspecting the engine to determine if there is a fault in the emission system or an issue with the oxygen sensor. The vehicle owner needs to visit a 4S shop to read the fault codes and identify the specific cause. The detailed explanation is as follows: 1. The engine consists of three major parts and five service systems, which are the engine block assembly, the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, the valve train, the ignition system, the starting system, the lubrication system, the cooling system, and the fuel supply system. 2. The functions and basic components of each part are as follows: The engine block assembly supports the entire engine and also houses the crankcase, cylinders, etc.; The crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, which is then output, including components like the connecting rod and crankshaft; The valve train supplies fuel and air to the cylinders and expels exhaust gases, composed of components such as tappets, valves, and control circuits.

Do You Need to Use Turn Signals in the Subject 2 Driving Test?

There are a total of 6 instances where turn signals are required in the Subject 2 test: When starting the vehicle, turn on the left turn signal; When starting on the slope, turn on the left turn signal; During parallel parking, turn on the right turn signal when the vehicle passes the parking spot and stops 30 cm from the curb before preparing to reverse; Before shifting into reverse gear during parallel parking, turn on the left turn signal because the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right, causing the front of the car to shift left; Before exiting the parking spot during parallel parking, shift into drive gear and turn on the left turn signal, then turn it off promptly after exiting; When entering the right-angle turn area, turn on the left turn signal and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Penalties for incorrect use of turn signals are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Turning the steering wheel within 3 seconds of activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. The Subject 2 test is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, trailers, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The C1 and C2 license tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 license tests include: pole test, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, narrow gate passing, continuous obstacle passing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What is the working principle of a dual-clutch transmission?

The key technology of a dual-clutch transmission lies in the dual clutch, which means there are two clutches. One is responsible for the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th), and the other clutch is responsible for the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th, 6th). These two automatically controlled clutches, driven by electronic control and hydraulic pressure, can simultaneously control the operation of both clutches. The advantages of a dual-clutch transmission are as follows: 1. Fast shifting: The shifting time of a dual-clutch transmission is very short, even faster than a manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. 2. Fuel efficiency: The dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, ensuring that the engine's power is always utilized and maintained in the optimal working state, which can significantly save fuel. Compared to traditional planetary gear automatic transmissions, it is more conducive to improving fuel economy, with fuel consumption reduced by approximately 15%. 3. Comfort: With fast shifting speeds, each shift of the DCT is very smooth, and the jerking sensation is so minimal that it is hardly noticeable to the human body.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When a Truck Belt Slipping?

This is caused by the contact surface between the belt and the pulley becoming too smooth. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Air conditioning pulley and belt slipping: During the slipping process, a sharp friction sound is produced. Check if there is oil or dirt on the belt. If the belt is slipping due to oil or dirt, clean it thoroughly. If not, adjust the position bolts of the compressor to tighten the belt, which can increase friction. 2. Damaged belt tensioner: This can also cause abnormal noise, and a new tensioner needs to be replaced. Abnormal noise caused by the slipping of the compressor clutch or the compressor bearing requires disassembly to inspect the cause. Foreign objects entering the blower or ventilation ducts can also produce abnormal noise, necessitating cleaning of the blower and ventilation ducts.
