The differences among DCT, CVT, and AT are as follows: 1. Advantages of AT: Smooth operation, combined with driving pleasure, stable quality, compact size, and wide transmission range; Disadvantages: Complex structure, high cost, difficult mechanical manufacturing, and generally lower efficiency compared to DCT. 2. Advantages of DCT: Close to all functions of AT, excellent driving pleasure, moderate cost, direct power delivery, and higher efficiency; Disadvantages: Slightly inferior low-speed smoothness compared to AT, but significant improvements have been made (DCT from 2010-2012 Volkswagen and 2017 Volkswagen feel completely different). Currently, reliability issues still deserve attention, and the size is relatively large. 3. Advantages of CVT: Affordable, excellent smoothness, compact size, and simple structure; Disadvantages: Insufficient transmission ratio range, fuel efficiency is only theoretical, requiring a more powerful hydraulic pump which offsets the theoretical fuel-saving advantage of CVT, and low torque capacity.

However, if it exceeds 60%, it is mandatory to register the changes; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. Below are the relevant legal provisions: According to Article 10 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," the owner of a registered motor vehicle shall apply to the vehicle management office at the place of registration for a change of registration under any of the following circumstances: 1. Change of the vehicle body color; 2. Replacement of the engine; 3. Replacement of the vehicle body or frame; 4. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues; 5.

What to Do When a Car Tire Gets a Nail Puncture?

Handling a nail puncture in a car tire depends on the specific situation: 1. If the nail is stuck in the tire tread, simply remove it; 2. If the nail has penetrated the tire but not gone all the way through and there is no air leakage, use pliers to pull it out; 3. If the nail has penetrated the tire tread completely, continuing to drive will worsen the damage, and you should replace it with a spare tire immediately; 4. If the nail has punctured the sidewall of the tire, slow down and drive to the nearest location to purchase and replace a new tire. The functions of a tire are: 1. To directly contact the road surface and work with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving; 2. To ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. To provide good traction between the wheels and the road surface.
