What are the common issues with the DL382 transmission?

Common issues with the DL382 transmission: 1. The vehicle sometimes does not move in D or R gear, with fault code P060700; 2. When driving at low speeds below 30 km/h, if the accelerator is pressed slightly harder and then released immediately, the transmission may produce abnormal noises. Similarly, when accelerating and braking quickly to a stop, the transmission may also produce abnormal noises, especially more frequently after the vehicle has warmed up. The DL382 transmission is produced at the Tianjin Volkswagen Automatic Transmission Factory, which previously manufactured two dual-clutch transmissions, the DQ500 and DQ380. The Tianjin Volkswagen Automatic Transmission Factory's business scope includes the research, development, production, assembly, and sales of automotive transmissions and components, as well as related technical services and after-sales services.

Having driven several cars equipped with the DL382 transmission, I found the most frustrating issue is the low-speed jerking. When shifting gears at 20-30 km/h, you can feel the car lurch forward, especially noticeable when starting from a red light. The mechatronic unit failure is another headache—once the computer board sensors malfunction, the transmission either starts randomly jumping gears or completely fails, requiring a full module replacement. Another common problem is excessive clutch wear. After about 60,000-70,000 km, you start hearing slipping noises, and when you floor the accelerator, the engine just roars without moving, especially embarrassing during hill starts. I've heard many owners end up gritting their teeth and shelling out nearly 20,000 yuan for repairs. It's the downside of the dual-clutch's precision engineering—aggressive driving and city traffic accelerate wear and tear.

How to Calculate Taxes and Fees for a New Car in 2021?

In 2021, the calculation method for vehicle purchase tax is: Tax Payable = Taxable Vehicle's Assessable Price × Tax Rate. There are two ways to calculate it: 1. Based on the "Total Amount Including Tax" on the invoice: Purchase Tax = Total Amount Including Tax ÷ 1.13 × 10% (the current VAT rate for cars is 13%). 2. Based on the "Tax-Exclusive Price" on the invoice: Purchase Tax = Tax-Exclusive Price × 10%. The taxes and fees for a new car include the following: 1. Purchasing a domestically produced vehicle: For domestically produced vehicles, the owner only needs to pay the vehicle purchase surtax and vehicle and vessel tax. 2. Purchasing an imported vehicle: For imported vehicles, the owner needs to pay customs duty, consumption tax, purchase surtax, and vehicle and vessel tax. If purchasing an imported vehicle from a domestic dealer, customs duty and consumption tax are usually included in the vehicle price. 3. Purchasing a tax-exempt vehicle: According to tax laws, purchasing vehicles for certain special purposes may be exempt from the vehicle purchase surtax.

Do new cars still need a break-in period?

New cars generally do not require a break-in period. Some maintenance manuals specify that no break-in is needed. Below is relevant information about new car break-in: 1. Reasons why break-in is unnecessary: Although engine break-in is an essential process for new cars, due to improved precision in parts manufacturing and advancements in assembly techniques, the break-in period for modern vehicles is already very short. Additionally, many manufacturers perform a cold break-in before delivery by running the engine on specialized equipment with electric motor assistance, which largely completes the break-in process. Therefore, owners do not need to conduct a dedicated break-in after delivery. 2. Components that still require break-in: In addition to conventional engine components, transmission parts, and broader oil coverage, parts like tires and brakes also need a break-in period.

How many kilometers can a car travel in one hour?

How many kilometers a car travels per hour depends on its actual speed. Generally speaking, for more common compact cars, the average speed is about 60 kilometers per hour. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The distance a car can travel in one hour needs to be analyzed based on its engine displacement. For a 1.6L engine, the maximum speed is 180 kilometers per hour, meaning it can travel 180 kilometers in one hour under ideal conditions. For a 2.4L engine, it can reach 200 kilometers per hour, meaning it can travel 200 kilometers in one hour, also under unrestricted conditions. 2. Speed: Velocity is a vector that represents the speed and direction of a moving point at a given instant. In the simplest case of uniform linear motion, the magnitude of velocity equals the distance traveled per unit time.

What does 5w20 engine oil mean?

Engine oil labeled as 5w20 represents its viscosity grade. The number 5 indicates the minimum winter operating temperature of -30°C, meaning the smaller the number before the W, the lower the oil's low-temperature viscosity, the better its low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. The number 20 represents the summer flow viscosity, where the number after the W indicates the oil's viscosity at 100°C—the higher the number, the greater the viscosity. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil grade: Oil grades are denoted by a combination of two letters. The "S" series represents oils for gasoline engines, with specifications generally ranging from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, excluding SI). Each subsequent letter indicates improved oil performance over the previous one, with more additives included to protect the engine. 2. Considerations: Vehicle owners can choose engine oil based on local maximum and minimum temperatures, the vehicle's grade, and its condition. Using oil with excessively high viscosity can increase movement resistance and affect engine power. Conversely, using oil with too low viscosity may compromise lubrication quality and accelerate engine wear.

Should You Turn Off the Engine When Waiting in the Car?

When waiting in the car, fuel consumption also increases, so for economic considerations, it is better to turn off the engine while waiting. Here are some relevant points: 1. Disadvantages of not turning off the engine: In fact, waiting with the engine running can cause damage to the car. When the engine is turned off, it stops running, and the car suffers no loss. However, if the engine continues to idle, it may lead to carbon buildup. Over time, this can result in black smoke emissions and may even produce carbon monoxide. If this gas enters the car, it could cause carbon monoxide poisoning, endangering the safety of passengers inside. Without turning off the engine, it keeps running continuously. 2. Precautions: There are a few other points to note. When waiting in the car, always remember to lock the central locking system. Some drivers may forget to lock the doors after passengers exit the vehicle. In such cases, the doors can be opened from the outside at any time, even if you are inside the car. This could lead to someone unintentionally opening the rear door and stealing valuables from the car. Therefore, even when waiting, it's important to lock the central locking system and keep valuable items close to you to avoid unnecessary financial losses.

How Often Should a Van Have Its Oil Changed?

Generally, the oil should be changed once the recommended mileage is reached. For some high-end vehicles, an oil change reminder will appear when the mileage is due. Typically, the break-in period for a new car is 2,500 to 3,000 kilometers, while the standard interval is 5,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits and oil grade. The importance of oil changes. Engine oil is as vital to an engine as blood is to the heart. Engine oil contains various additives that effectively protect the engine's critical moving parts, ensuring smooth operation. Oil change intervals. When purchasing a car, the manufacturer provides a maintenance manual that specifies the recommended oil change mileage and intervals, which for most vehicles range between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The oil change interval for a car is typically between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months to a year. Introduction to engine oil: 1. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves to lubricate the engine, reduce friction, assist in cooling, and prevent rust and corrosion, often metaphorically referred to as the 'blood' of a car; 2. Engine oil generally consists of two components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent, determining the fundamental properties of the lubricant, while additives enhance and compensate for any performance shortcomings of the base oil.
