Engine shaking and the illumination of the check engine light can be caused by: 1. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine; 2. Malfunctions in the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils; 3. Abnormal fuel supply pressure and faults in the intake pressure sensor. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the pistons to perform work. The main components of an engine include: 1. The valve train; 2. The crankshaft and connecting rod assembly; 3. The ignition system; 4. The cooling system; 5. The lubrication system; 6. The starting system; 7. The fuel supply system. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator scale; 4. Regularly removing engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replacing the three filters (air, oil, and fuel); 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.

How to turn on the heating in Haval H9?

Haval H9 heating activation steps are as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait 8-15 minutes until the water temperature rises to normal operating temperature. 2. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation. 3. Switch to heating mode (indicated by the red zone). When unconscious lane departure is detected, the instrument display will issue an alarm to remind the driver to return to the original lane, improving driving safety. The blind spot monitoring system uses radar detectors to monitor 70m blind spots on both rear sides of the vehicle in real time. When there is danger during lane changing, the in-car warning light will flash accompanied by an audible alarm to alert the driver. 4. At this point, the heating system is activated.

What Causes Transmission Shaking?

Reasons for transmission shaking: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: Too much carbon buildup inside the engine can absorb some oil during startup, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture. When the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline, the engine starts operating normally. However, when the mixture is ignited, the gasoline absorbed by the carbon deposits is sucked into the cylinders by vacuum pressure, resulting in an overly rich mixture. This alternation between lean and rich conditions causes engine shaking. 2. Dirty throttle or air filter: A clogged air filter restricts sufficient air intake into the engine cylinders, disrupting the air-fuel ratio and causing insufficient engine power, which manifests as shaking. A dirty throttle can prevent it from closing properly, leading to an overly lean mixture at idle and resulting in insufficient engine power. 3. Spark plug issues: Over time, spark plugs can develop increased gaps or excessive carbon buildup on the electrodes, leading to poor sparking or insufficient ignition energy. This can cause misfiring, reduced power, and engine shaking. 4. Aging engine components: Worn-out engine mounts lose their ability to absorb vibrations, contributing to shaking.

How Many Years Can a Dry Dual Clutch Last?

1. A dry dual clutch can last for 5 years. Below are relevant details about dry dual clutches: 1. The clutch plates of a dry dual clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, and the dual clutch of the transmission is exposed to the air, relying on external air for cooling. This clutch structure is problematic as it has poor heat dissipation, especially during traffic congestion when the vehicle frequently stops and starts. The dry dual clutch transmission often shifts between first and second gears, and the clutch cannot lock, leading to severe wear on the friction plates. Consequently, the transmission is prone to overheating, which significantly affects its shifting performance and the overall gear-shifting quality. 2. While maintaining its own advantages, the dual clutch transmission has also incorporated many benefits from traditional transmissions. This is why an increasing number of automakers are opting for DCT dual clutch transmissions, reflecting their current widespread use and popularity. Additionally, as many domestic automakers are developing dual clutch transmissions, R&D costs have been further reduced, making dual clutch transmissions a more cost-effective choice.
