The main differences between domestic cars and joint venture cars are as follows: Difference 1: The difference in investment method: Domestic cars are designed and manufactured by China itself, while joint venture cars are mostly produced through cooperation where the Chinese side provides land, factory usage rights, and capital, and the foreign investors contribute brand and technology. Difference 2: Comparing domestic cars and joint venture cars of the same price range and level, domestic cars are more richly equipped and better suited to the usage habits of Chinese people. Moreover, ESP is a standard feature in low-end domestic cars, but it is not available in low-end joint venture cars. Difference 3: Comparing joint venture cars and domestic cars at the same price point, taking cars below 100,000 RMB as an example, the quality of joint venture cars below 100,000 RMB is hardly guaranteed, and their handling is not very good. Joint venture cars focus more on profits, thus they tend to control costs more strictly. However, domestic cars below 100,000 RMB offer better quality and operability compared to joint venture cars. Looking at mid-to-low-end cars priced between 100,000-150,000 RMB, domestic cars perform better than joint venture cars.

The differences between domestic brand cars and joint venture cars are quite noticeable. As someone who has been studying automotive technology, I've found that this relates to brand heritage and core technologies. Domestic cars like Geely or BYD are independently developed by Chinese local enterprises, with affordable pricing, but their initial reliability and engine performance may not be as stable as joint venture cars. Joint venture cars, on the other hand, are produced in China through partnerships with foreign brands like Volkswagen or Toyota, inheriting mature technologies, offering high durability but at a higher price due to taxes. Nowadays, domestic cars are advancing rapidly in intelligent driving and electric vehicle fields, such as lower costs for electric vehicles; while joint venture cars have greater advantages in traditional fuel systems. From a maintenance perspective, domestic car parts are cheaper and easier to find, with quicker after-sales response; joint venture parts are more expensive due to imports but offer standardized original factory services. Overall, choose based on needs and budget: domestic cars are more cost-effective for budget-conscious users, joint venture cars offer more peace of mind for long-distance drivers, and domestic cars are stronger in innovation for tech enthusiasts.

How to Deal with Rusty Car Brake Discs?

Here are the methods to remove rust from car brake discs: 1. If the rust is not severe, you can step on the brakes a few times on a safe road section without affecting public traffic. 2. If the rust is severe, it is recommended to go to an auto repair shop to remove it with sandpaper. Extension: The methods to determine whether the brake discs need to be replaced are as follows: 1. The brake pads and brake discs wear relatively. After replacing the brake pads 2 to 3 times, pay attention to checking the brake discs. 2. If you hear a rustling sound when braking, you need to check whether the brake discs need to be replaced. 3. If there are grooves or small pits on the brake discs, and the measured depth reaches about 1.5mm, you need to go to a repair shop or 4S shop to check the brake discs.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary When Rotating Tires?

Wheel alignment is not required when rotating tires. The purpose of rotating tires is to ensure more even tire wear. Wheel alignment is necessary under the following circumstances: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident; 2. Replacement of the steering system or its components; 3. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 4. Replacement or adjustment of the suspension system; 5. The vehicle pulls to the left or right when driving straight. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing excessive vibration and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance, reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What is the method for changing engine oil without a lift?

The method for changing engine oil without a lift is to find a pit, drive the car over it, and then go down into the pit to change the oil. The steps for changing the oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, after draining the oil, tighten the oil drain screw and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then use a funnel to add oil at the oil filler port. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Lubricating the engine to reduce wear; 2. Cleaning and purifying; 3. Cooling and lowering temperature; 4. Preventing rust and corrosion.

What type of suspension does the Bestune T77 Pro use?

The Bestune T77 Pro uses the following suspension setup: the front suspension employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension utilizes a torsion beam suspension. The functions of the suspension are: to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, and to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Taking the 2020 manual luxury model of the Bestune T77 Pro as an example, its body structure is a five-door, five-seat SUV with the following dimensions: length 4525mm, width 1845mm, height 1615mm, wheelbase 2700mm, front track 1575mm, rear track 1565mm, fuel tank capacity 45 liters, trunk capacity 342 liters, and curb weight 1468kg.

Does the Audi A4L need undercoating?

Audi A4L needs undercoating. Undercoating is a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating that is non-toxic, has high coverage, and strong adhesion. It can be sprayed on exposed parts of the vehicle such as the chassis, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower body panels, and trunk. After quick drying, it forms a solid elastic protective layer that prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel, avoids erosion from moisture, acid rain, and salt on the vehicle's chassis, prevents rusting of the chassis, and ensures the driving safety of the owner. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, a wheelbase of 2908mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters.

What are the symptoms of cylinder scuffing?

Cylinder scuffing may exhibit the following symptoms: 1. Reduced cylinder compression pressure leading to loss of power; 2. Downward leakage of combustible mixture increasing crankcase pressure, potentially causing crankcase explosion in severe cases; 3. Upward oil migration into cylinders resulting in oil burning; 4. Excessive smoke from exhaust pipe; 5. Abnormal engine noise; 6. Engine malfunction or even stalling. The causes of cylinder scuffing include: 1. Insufficient or interrupted cylinder lubrication; 2. Inadequate break-in period followed by immediate high-load operation; 3. Excessive piston temperature with poor lubrication; 4. Severe carbon buildup causing piston rings to stick in grooves, losing elasticity and potentially breaking or leaking combustion gases; 5. Use of low-quality gasoline. Solutions for cylinder scuffing are: 1. Replace pistons and piston rings; 2. Use high-quality engine oil; 3. Clean any foreign objects in the cylinder.
