There are several reasons why a car may shake during driving: 1. Ignition system issues: Problems such as excessively large or small spark plug gaps, excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs, damaged ignition coils, loose or leaking high-voltage wires, etc. If the idle is unstable, the entire ignition system should be checked. 2. Excessive carbon buildup: Excessive carbon deposits on the engine, throttle, and fuel injectors are the most common cause of engine shaking. Since carbon absorbs gasoline, excessive carbon can be drawn into the cylinders for combustion, leading to fluctuating concentrations of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, which is especially noticeable during cold starts. 3. Abnormal water temperature: The engine operates within a specific temperature range. If the water temperature is too high, it can cause early ignition timing, changes in the air-fuel mixture, thinning of engine oil viscosity, and reduced lubrication performance. Common causes of shaking due to high water temperature include insufficient coolant, a stuck thermostat, a non-functioning fan, or an inaccurate temperature control switch. These issues should be addressed to resolve the shaking. 4. Low cylinder pressure: Engines have 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 cylinders. If one cylinder is not functioning properly, it can lead to engine shaking due to misfiring. Use a cylinder pressure gauge to check the cylinder pressure. Xinba can be used to address low-pressure issues. Xinba is particularly effective for low and unbalanced cylinder pressure and can be added to the engine oil or directly into the cylinders to restore balanced pressure. 5. Low idle speed: The engine idle speed is preset in the car's computer. If the RPM drops below a certain range, the car's computer will automatically adjust it. If the idle speed is too low and causes shaking, it indicates that it is beyond the computer's control range. Check the idle control valve, throttle, air flow meter, vacuum sensor, and adjust the ignition timing to increase the idle speed.

Which country does the Ducati brand belong to?

Ducati is an Italian brand, but Ducati is now a brand under the Audi Group, which in turn is part of Volkswagen. Both Audi and Volkswagen are German companies. Here is some related information: 1. This engine features a V4 configuration with a 90° angle between the cylinders, a bore of 81mm, a stroke of 53.5mm, and a displacement of 10. It is equipped with a counter-rotating crankshaft, which reduces gyroscopic effects and the tendency for the front end to lift during acceleration. While the counter-rotating crankshaft offers many benefits, it requires an additional component to correct the rotation direction. This results in a power loss of approximately 0.98%. 2. The engine is also part of the frame, with both the subframe and main frame attached to it. Additionally, because the engine is tilted backward, the length of the rear swingarm can be increased.

What is the reason why the car's central control screen stays on and cannot be turned off?

The reason why the car's central control screen stays on and cannot be turned off is due to a malfunction in the central control system. As the most important and complex onboard electrical device in the car, the central control system is prone to lagging and malfunctions over time, making it the most common area for issues. Solutions for a car central control screen that stays on and cannot be turned off: Use a car diagnostic tool to access the SMK system, read and observe the data stream. Check whether the data stream shows the "ACC" input circuit and the battery circuit in the ON state when the engine is off. If not, the circuit is fine; if yes, the circuit is in a short-circuit state. Debug the power supply module and inspect or repair the relay. If the driver is not very familiar with circuits, it is advisable to take the vehicle to a local 4S shop for professional handling to avoid accidental damage to the internal system components. Functions of the car central control: The car central control is responsible for managing comfort and entertainment devices such as the air conditioning and audio system. It includes the central door lock system, allowing the driver to control all door switches and window lift systems. The central door lock system primarily features three functions: central control, speed control, and individual control. The driver can control all door locks, and when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the doors automatically lock. Each door also has an independent switch for individual control. The car central control also includes the central console, which houses various vehicle controllers like the audio control panel.

What is the Difference Between CVT and Tiptronic?

The differences between Tiptronic transmission and CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) are as follows: 1. Principle: The Tiptronic transmission operates by using a torque converter whose automatic torque conversion range is insufficient. Therefore, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to the engine's working conditions, achieving automatic torque conversion. The structure of the CVT's transmission pulley is quite unique, divided into movable left and right halves that can move closer together or apart. The conical discs can tighten or loosen under hydraulic pressure, squeezing the steel belt to adjust the width of the V-shaped groove. When the conical discs move inward and tighten, the steel belt is pushed outward from the center, and vice versa. This changes the diameter of the disc driven by the steel belt, altering the transmission ratio. 2. Usage: The Tiptronic transmission does not require a clutch to shift gears, has fewer gears with significant changes, and provides smooth connections, making it easy to operate. It offers convenience to the driver and comfort to passengers. Since the CVT lacks the transmission gears found in conventional automatic transmissions, it eliminates the gear-shifting process, thereby removing the associated shift shock. As a result, the CVT delivers linear power output, ensuring a very smooth driving experience in practice.

Where is the rear tow hook located on the new Excelle?

The new Excelle does not have a rear tow hook, only a front tow hook. Introduction to tow hooks: As the name suggests, it is used to tow vehicles. Tow hooks can be installed at the front or rear of the car. Generally, SUVs, trucks, pickups and other vehicles install tow hooks at the rear for towing other vehicles. However, not all vehicles can be equipped with tow hooks. Only models that meet the regulations can install tow hooks. Moreover, when installing a tow hook on a vehicle, it must not protrude outside the body, otherwise it is not allowed to be installed. Illegal installation will result in a fine. Classification of tow hooks: Tow hooks are divided into two types: exposed and hidden. Exposed tow hooks are mostly located under the front and rear bumpers, commonly seen on hardcore off-road vehicles; Hidden tow hooks are mostly designed in a split type, with the threaded hole for towing hidden in the body, while the hook is usually in the toolbox, commonly seen in sedans and SUVs.

Should the car air conditioning use internal or external circulation for cooling?

For car air conditioning cooling, use internal circulation. After getting in the car, first turn on external circulation for ventilation and heat dissipation, and you can also open the windows and sunroof to speed up heat dissipation. After 3-5 minutes when the interior temperature has basically stabilized, close all windows, turn on the cooling, and switch the air conditioning to internal circulation. Here are some tips for using air conditioning in summer: 1. Avoid running the air conditioning while parked: Sometimes, to relieve fatigue or while waiting, people park by the roadside, close all windows and doors, turn on the air conditioning, and 'enjoy' the comfort brought by the cool air. Some even lie down on the seat and sleep with the air conditioning on. Experts warn that when the car's engine is running, if the gasoline in the cylinders does not burn completely, it can produce high concentrations of carbon monoxide. 2. Try not to use air conditioning at low speeds: Sometimes, to stay cool, people turn on the air conditioning as soon as they get in the car, whether driving at low or high speeds. Using air conditioning at low speeds, especially in traffic jams, forces the engine to run at higher RPMs artificially, which can reduce the lifespan of both the engine and the air conditioning compressor. Therefore, it's best not to use air conditioning at low speeds. 3. Do not keep internal circulation on for long periods: Car owners know there's a 'circulation' button for the air conditioning. Pressing this button causes the air inside the car to circulate internally only. When all windows and doors are closed, the air conditioning cooling efficiency is fully 'absorbed,' saving energy. However, over time, the air inside the car can become increasingly stale, and one might even feel a lack of oxygen.
