The common issues with the Punch VT2 transmission are: 1. D-gear starting defect: When starting in D-gear, lightly pressing the accelerator does not move the car, but pressing slightly harder causes the engine to reach 1300 RPM and the car to lurch forward; 2. Jerking below 20 km/h: When decelerating from high speed to below 20 km/h and then pressing the accelerator to accelerate again, the car experiences slight jerking; 3. Low-temperature protection: After a cold start in extremely low environmental temperatures, the car cannot drive normally and requires idling to warm up until the transmission oil reaches a reasonable working temperature. The Punch VT2 transmission uses a relatively conservative friction plate clutch, which can amplify torque and eliminate vibrations within a certain range. The connection between the engine and transmission is soft, with power transmitted via hydraulic oil, resulting in good comfort.

I've seen quite a few common issues with the Punch VT2 transmission. The main problem is frequent jerking during gear shifts, especially when starting or driving at low speeds, where you can feel the car lurching forward. This is caused by hydraulic control system design flaws. Overheating is another major issue – warning lights on the dashboard become routine in congested traffic or hot weather, and in severe cases, the transmission may fail. Oil seal leaks are also common, with aging pump seals causing fluid loss that dirties the undercarriage and requires frequent top-ups. Software glitches are particularly annoying, as control unit errors can cause delayed or stuck gear shifts. For solutions, I recommend regular transmission fluid checks and changes every 20,000-30,000 km to prevent contaminant buildup. Aftermarket parts like cooling fans can help with temperature control, but it's best to have them installed by professionals. Overall, this transmission has poor reliability and requires early preventive measures.

What are the differences between BYD Tang DMP and DMI?

The main differences between BYD Tang DMP and DMI are as follows: 1. Different advantages: DM-i has multiple advantages that lead other hybrid technologies, and its "core concept" is to prioritize electricity and use fuel as a supplement. In terms of architecture, the DM-i super hybrid is based on a large-capacity battery and high-power motor, and the vehicle relies on the high-power motor for driving during operation. 2. Different core technical components: The core component of BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology is the newly developed Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid dedicated engine by BYD, which has two different versions—the 1.5L engine is mainly used for Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used for the larger Tang DM-i model. 3. Different driving modes: When the DM-i model has sufficient battery power, it is equivalent to a pure electric vehicle, with the motor providing enough power for driving under various road conditions. When the battery power is insufficient, the DM-i model will autonomously decide whether to use electricity or fuel, or a combination of both, based on the system's working conditions. According to the data released by BYD, under urban driving conditions, the vehicle uses the motor for driving 99% of the time, providing a driving experience infinitely close to that of a pure electric vehicle; meanwhile, the engine is in a shutdown state for 81% of the working conditions. During high-speed driving, both the engine and motor provide power to the wheels, with the engine always operating within the efficient range.

What Causes a Motorcycle Not to Start After Being Stored for a Long Time?

Introduction to the reasons why a motorcycle does not start after being stored for a long time: Check the spark plug: Most motorcycle starting issues are directly related to this component. Therefore, when the vehicle fails to start or has difficulty starting, the spark plug should be checked first. Clean the carburetor: If the carburetor is not used for a long time, its atomization effect will significantly decline. This is mainly caused by not draining the fuel inside before parking the vehicle. At this point, the carburetor needs to be cleaned. Check the air filter: While cleaning the carburetor, it is also necessary to clean the air filter. Removing dust and impurities from the air filter will help improve the vehicle's starting performance. Charge the battery: For DC ignition systems, starting the vehicle can be difficult if the battery is dead, especially for vehicles that have been parked for a long time. To ensure the ignition system functions properly, it is best to charge the battery and, if necessary, replace it with a new one.

Can you drive over grid lines?

Grid lines cannot be driven over. Grid lines typically appear at the entrances of schools or large enterprises, and some important national institutions also have grid lines at their entrances. Parking is not allowed on grid lines to prevent these areas from being blocked when vehicles from these institutions need to enter or exit. Even in the event of traffic congestion, the grid lines should be left clear, and vehicles should not stop on them. Below are several situations where driving over lines is prohibited: Yellow solid lines: Currently, yellow solid lines in China come in two types: double yellow lines and single yellow lines. Essentially, they are prohibition lines, generally used to separate opposing traffic. If a yellow solid line is in the middle of the road, whether it's a double or single yellow line, it cannot be crossed. White solid lines: White solid lines are the most common road markings. They are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, helping drivers stay on their intended path. White solid lines appear on urban roads and intersections, standardizing driving routes and significantly improving traffic safety. When driving at a crossroads or T-junction and encountering white solid lines, drivers must exit the lane before making a turn; otherwise, the rear wheels may cross the solid line. While driving on roads with white solid lines, drivers should not drive side by side with other vehicles for extended periods or change lanes arbitrarily. On highways, the presence of white solid lines may indicate a relatively high safety risk, suggesting a higher likelihood of traffic accidents. Yellow grid lines: The purpose of yellow grid lines is to prohibit parking. They are most commonly found at the main entrances of government buildings. Parking is not allowed in areas marked with yellow grid lines, as doing so could obstruct vehicles exiting the premises and cause traffic congestion. Vehicles must not stop in these areas.

What Causes the Unusual Noise When Unlocking the Trunk?

The unusual noise when unlocking the trunk is caused by aging or loose sealing strips. Solution: If the sealing strip is aging, replacing it is the best option. Before replacing the sealing strip, be very careful as different car models have different sealing strips. After selecting the appropriate sealing strip, remove the old one before installation and thoroughly clean the area where the sealing strip will be applied. Pay special attention to residual adhesive, as incomplete cleaning will prevent the new sealing strip from adhering firmly. Causes of Sealing Strip Aging: Impact of air components such as oxygen and ozone. The primary cause is oxidation reactions that break the molecular chains of the sealing strip. Effects of sunlight and moisture. These are key factors accelerating aging. Moisture in the air is a necessary condition for the softening of the sealing strip, while sunlight is the main factor promoting discoloration. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can easily cause the sealing strip to deform and soften. Temperature also significantly affects the sealing strip. In cold winters, the sealing strip can harden severely, leading to breakage, while in hot summers, it can soften and loosen.
