225 tires replaced with 215 ones have the following pros and cons: 1. The pros are that the tires will be more fuel-efficient, have lower noise, and better economy; 2. The cons are that the tires will have reduced grip, worse handling and braking performance, lower safety coefficient, and may negatively affect the geometric design of the body and suspension. It can also cause deviations in related data such as ABS, ESP, mileage, and fuel consumption. The difference between 215 and 225 tires is not significant. The main difference lies in the tire's section width, simply put, the width of the tire is different, with 225 being wider than 215. Different tire widths directly affect the tire's diameter, aspect ratio, and contact area with the ground, resulting in performance differences between 215 and 225 tires.

What to Do When an Electric Tricycle is Soaked in Water?

After the battery is soaked, let it dry before recharging. Many electric vehicle brands have adopted various waterproof measures, so generally, getting wet by rain is not a big issue for electric vehicles. If the electric vehicle is severely soaked, the owner can remove the controller, dry the accumulated water inside, and use a hair dryer to blow it dry before reinstalling it.

What Causes High Transmission Temperature?

Reasons for high transmission temperature: 1. Clogged pump suction filter screen; 2. Poor radiator cooling capacity; 3. Severe machine overload operation; 4. Serious wear or damage to the transmission hydraulic pump; 5. Severe system leakage, improper operation of the torque converter inlet regulating proportional valve; 6. Transmission clutch slippage can also lead to excessively high transmission temperature. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, also known as a gearbox. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also equipped with a power take-off mechanism.

Can the car still be driven if the transmission is slipping?

If the transmission is slipping, the car should not be driven as it poses a safety hazard and requires immediate repair. Causes of transmission slipping: 1. Wear and tear of the clutch, brake, or one-way clutch leading to slipping; 2. Addition or replacement with non-specified oil; 3. Slipping caused by low main oil pressure. The transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

What is the valve clearance for the Ford Focus?

Ford Focus valve clearance is 0.22 to 0.28MM for intake and 0.27 to 0.330MM for exhaust when the engine is cold. Valve clearance is set to ensure the proper operation of the internal combustion engine's valve train. Since the valve train operates at high speeds and elevated temperatures, components like the valve tappet and valve stem expand when heated. Without proper clearance, this expansion could automatically push the valve open, preventing it from sealing tightly against the valve seat, leading to air leakage. The Focus is an A-segment family car and one of Ford Europe's flagship models. It is equipped with either a 1.5L EcoBoost or a 1.5L Ti-VCT engine, and all models meet the China VI emission standards.
