Pressing the accelerator in P gear has the following effects on the car: 1. When the car is stationary and the accelerator is pressed in P gear, it basically has no significant impact on the vehicle. In P gear, the transmission's drive shaft is locked, and the engine is separated from the transmission. The power is not transmitted to the drive shaft; the engine merely consumes fuel without load, and the gear mechanism idles, so the car does not move. 2. If the accelerator is pressed in P gear while the car is moving, this is incorrect. The parking lock will engage the wheel groove, and if the car is in motion, this action can cause the parking lock to break. In severe cases, it can lead to significant damage to the transmission, potentially requiring a replacement.

What is the appropriate RPM for car startup?

Generally, the engine RPM can reach 1200-1500 at the moment of startup, which is considered appropriate. Below are relevant details about startup RPM: 1. RPM Range: In cold seasons, the engine RPM tends to be even higher because the vehicle may stall if the RPM is too low. A slightly higher RPM helps warm up the engine faster. However, during a cold start, the RPM should not be too high either, as the lubricating oil cannot reach the upper part of the engine. To minimize wear, keeping it below 2000 RPM is advisable. Once the engine stabilizes, the RPM will drop to around 800. 2. Relationship Between Startup RPM and Speed: To achieve a quick start, increasing the RPM is necessary. The famous "launch control" technique operates on this principle. A higher RPM means faster engine power output, or the engine is already producing significant power, waiting for the clutch to engage and utilize this power. During this process, the speed difference between the clutch disc and the flywheel transitions from large to synchronized, resulting in prolonged clutch slippage and increased wear, which is unavoidable. 3. Relationship Between Engine RPM and Speed: Higher speed certainly means higher RPM, but higher RPM does not necessarily mean higher speed. If the car is in neutral, the speed remains zero. Even with high throttle in a low gear, the speed will not increase significantly.

How to Replace the Transmission Mount of Audi A6L?

Connect the engine with lifting rings and safety belts, then lift the engine. Remove the bracket of the engine mount, unscrew the engine mount bolts, move the engine mount towards the front of the vehicle, then remove the old engine mount and replace it with a new one. First, remove the intake duct, take out the air filter box, unplug the air sensor electrical connector, remove the battery, and finally replace the transmission mount with a new one.

How to Deal with White Oxidation Spots on Engine Block?

Clean with an alkaline solution to remove the oxide film that has absorbed dirt. After removal, rinse several times in distilled water. Soak in dilute acid or alkali, and immediately remove and rinse with water when gas is generated. Sandpaper can also be used for polishing. Perform necessary cleaning on the surface of the product to expose a pure metal substrate, facilitating smooth oxidation coloring and obtaining an artificial film with good properties such as wear resistance. Use a low-concentration alkaline solution, around 35%, and ensure proper protection before cleaning.

How to Alert the Rear Vehicle for Overtaking?

Before overtaking, first check the left rearview mirror to ensure safety. After confirming safety, turn on the lights and flash the high and low beams alternately twice to signal the rear vehicle for overtaking. Slow down your vehicle and move to the right to assist the rear vehicle in overtaking. Flash the headlights once to signal the slow-moving vehicle ahead to yield, facilitating your overtaking. If the other vehicle flashes back once, it indicates their agreement to change lanes or allow overtaking. Alert the other vehicle that your car is malfunctioning and may brake suddenly, informing them to maintain a safe distance.
