What Are the Causes of Transmission Noise in the Haval F7?

Haval F7 transmission noise can be attributed to the following reasons: Wear and damage of bearings: When bearings wear out, the gap increases, and the fit precision decreases; when bearings are damaged, abnormal sounds occur as they cannot operate normally, potentially leading to damage of transmission components and exacerbating the issue. Wear of transmission components or the use of replacement parts with excessively low precision, such as worn gears or new gears with excessively large fit gaps compared to the original ones. Insufficient or overly viscous lubricant causing poor lubrication: In such cases, the corresponding lubricant (grease) should be replaced; otherwise, it will accelerate transmission wear and shorten its service life. Loose bolts on the transmission housing (end cover): Vibration during use can loosen the bolts, so regular inspections are necessary.

Speaking of transmission noise, my F7 had a similar issue last year. At first, there was a 'clicking' sound during low-speed gear shifts, which later developed into a 'whining' noise when decelerating. The 4S shop inspection revealed that the transmission fluid needed to be changed, and sure enough, the noise significantly reduced after the fluid change. The mechanic said prolonged neglect of fluid changes could lead to insufficient gear lubrication, causing metal friction sounds. However, if accompanied by jerking sensations, it might indicate worn clutch plates, which would require opening up the transmission. Remember to stick to regular maintenance—don’t follow my example of waiting until 60,000 km to change the fluid. And if you hear a 'clunking' noise, pay extra attention, as it could be a bearing issue that needs immediate repair.

I've repaired many Haval F7 transmission noise issues, which commonly fall into three categories: a 'buzzing' sound at low speeds is mostly caused by deteriorated transmission fluid or incorrect fluid level; a 'clunking' noise during gear shifts requires checking the dual-clutch module, especially for dry dual-clutch F7 models prone to wear; persistent metal grinding noises are likely due to bearing failure. Last time, a stubborn owner ignored the signs and ended up spending over 8,000 yuan on a complete transmission replacement. I recommend first checking the fault codes, then lifting the vehicle to pinpoint the noise source in different transmission areas—sometimes just replacing a mounting bushing can solve the problem.

The transmission noise in the Haval F7 is related to structural design. In early batches of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the clutch semi-engagement was prone to overheating and producing a 'hissing' sound during frequent start-stop driving in urban areas. My friend's car developed a 'clunking' sound during gear shifts just after the warranty expired, and inspection revealed excessive clearance in the shift fork. The newer models have already improved the shifting mechanism. If there is brief noise during cold starts, it might be due to delayed oil supply from the oil pump; persistent noise should focus on checking the differential gears. However, the most troublesome issue is a control unit failure, which not only causes electrical buzzing but can also lead to gear misalignment.

Should New Energy Vehicles Be Fully Charged During Fast Charging?

Whether to fully charge depends on the actual situation. If you need to travel long distances, you can charge it fully. For short-distance use, you can charge as needed. Below is relevant information about new energy vehicles: Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. Types: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc.

What could be the reason if a car's horn stops working?

If a car's horn stops working, it might be due to a circuit malfunction or poor contact. Related information: 1. Introduction: The horn is the audio signal device of a car. During driving, the driver uses it to emit necessary sound signals as required or regulated, to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging and signaling. 2. Expansion: Car horns are categorized by sound power into air horns and electric horns, by shape into cylindrical, spiral, and disc types, and by sound frequency into high-pitch and low-pitch horns.

What are the benefits of new energy vehicles?

The benefits of new energy vehicles include fuel energy conservation, environmental protection, and high efficiency. Here is a detailed introduction to new energy vehicles: 1. Fuel energy conservation: They generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Reduced exhaust emissions: Effectively protecting the environment. Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust and are pollution-free. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit water as exhaust, which causes no environmental pollution. Since they are essentially zero-emission, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles typically adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed During the First Maintenance of a New Car?

Transmission fluid does not need to be changed during the first maintenance. Below is relevant information about the transmission: Introduction: The transmission is a very important component of a vehicle, capable of altering the gear ratio and expanding the torque and speed of the drive wheels. With the advancement of modern technology, transmissions have also been upgraded, evolving from the original manual transmissions to the current continuously variable transmissions, and from non-synchronized to synchronized transmissions, making operation increasingly convenient. Working Principle: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT), on the other hand, are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

How Long Does It Take to Receive Notification for Traffic Violation Photos?

Generally, vehicle owners will receive a free SMS notification about traffic violations 2 days after the offense. Here is some knowledge about vehicle violations: 1. Notification Time: The time it takes to receive the SMS mainly depends on when the traffic authorities process the electronic surveillance photos. Sometimes, due to information delays or other reasons, you may not receive or receive the SMS notification late. If you haven't registered for SMS notifications but have a mailing address, you will receive a violation notice by mail. 2. Query Method: Visit the official website of your city's Public Security Traffic Management Bureau: find the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, then click to query.
