What Are the Common Faults After a Transmission is Submerged in Water?

Common faults after a transmission is submerged in water include automatic transmission fluid deterioration, clutch damage, transmission slipping, and transmission oil leakage. Automatic Transmission Fluid Deterioration: Water entering the automatic transmission directly causes the transmission fluid to deteriorate and oxidize, reducing its friction coefficient. As a result, the vehicle components lack sufficient friction, leading to symptoms such as jerking, impact, and slipping in the automatic transmission. Clutch Damage: Water entering the automatic transmission not only damages the transmission fluid but is also highly detrimental to the clutch plates. If the clutch plates are submerged in water and cannot be repaired, replacement is the only option, which increases the corresponding repair costs. Transmission Slipping: During driving, if the engine revs up but the vehicle speed does not increase, accompanied by a feeling of overall weakness, this is often caused by burnt clutch plates. Water entering the transmission due to external factors, such as coolant mixing with oil or water entering through the transmission vent cap, can cause abnormal transmission operation. Transmission Oil Leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission housing or oil pan can be caused by aging seals leading to poor sealing or manufacturing defects resulting in pinholes in the housing.

Should I Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

Whether to use 92 or 95 octane gasoline for your car can be determined by checking the label on the back of the fuel tank cap or the owner's manual. The differences between 95 and 92 octane gasoline are as follows: 1. Different compression ratios: Engines designed for 92 octane have different compression ratios compared to those designed for 95 octane. 2. Different octane ratings and combustion speeds: Higher-octane gasoline burns more slowly, resulting in lower combustion knock, and requires engines with higher compression ratios. Conversely, lower-octane gasoline burns faster, causing higher combustion knock, and is suitable for engines with lower compression ratios. Lower-octane gasoline burns faster, requiring delayed ignition timing, while higher-octane gasoline burns more slowly, requiring advanced ignition timing. 3. Different proportions of main components: 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane, while 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane.

Why doesn't the Haval H9 use part-time four-wheel drive?

Part-time four-wheel drive saves fuel and easily meets environmental standards, while full-time four-wheel drive consumes more fuel. The specific reasons why the Haval H9 does not use part-time four-wheel drive are as follows: Domestic brands have not yet mastered the technology of full-time four-wheel drive: Genuine full-time four-wheel drive systems are commonly found in Mercedes-Benz and Toyota's Torsen, Mitsubishi's Super Select also has full-time four-wheel drive functionality, as well as Land Rover and Patrol's multi-plate clutch with mechanical lock. Mechanical part-time four-wheel drive is reliable but lacks terrain mode selection, which doesn't appear high-end in the eyes of Chinese consumers, so many manufacturers have adopted TOD. Part-time four-wheel drive: It is a type of four-wheel drive system in vehicles, allowing the driver to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions. This enables free conversion between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. Part-time four-wheel drive typically uses only front or rear wheels for driving but can switch to four-wheel drive on snowy or gravel roads, also known as selectable four-wheel drive. This is the most common drive mode for off-road vehicles or four-wheel-drive SUVs.
