What Are the Reasons for High Transmission RPM?

The reasons for high transmission RPM are: 1. Clutch slippage; 2. Prolonged failure to change transmission fluid; 3. Damage to hydraulic components inside the transmission. Methods for maintaining an automotive transmission: 1. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly check fluid levels; 4. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Do not forcibly shift into neutral; 6. Do not shorten warm-up idling time; 7. Prevent gear grinding during engagement; 8. Clean the transmission; 9. Avoid driving immediately after cold starts without warming up; 10. Perform regular automatic transmission maintenance. The functions of a transmission are: 1. Alter gear ratios to expand the torque and RPM range of driving wheels, enabling optimal engine operation; 2. Allow reverse driving while maintaining the engine's rotational direction; 3. Utilize neutral to interrupt power transmission, facilitating engine startup, idling, gear shifting, or power output.

I've been driving for several years. When I first bought my car, I loved stomping on the accelerator to chase that thrill of acceleration, often causing the RPM to skyrocket to scary levels. Later, I realized that excessively high transmission RPM is mainly related to driving habits—like being too aggressive with the throttle at startup or shifting gears too late. Other causes include transmission issues, such as insufficient or degraded fluid reducing cooling efficiency, worn-out components like damaged gears, or faulty sensors sending incorrect signals. This condition not only increases fuel consumption but also risks engine overheating. It's best to check fluid levels before long trips, and regular maintenance can prevent trouble—unlike my early days, which burned money and hurt the car.

Symptoms of a Faulty Common Rail Pressure Relief Valve?

Symptoms of a faulty fuel pump pressure relief valve include: the valve disc not reseating after discharge, primarily caused by a bent spring valve stem, improper installation of the valve disc, or it being stuck. Failure to open at the specified pressure: The reasons for this include inaccurate pressure setting; the valve disc sticking to the valve seat; the lever of a lever-type safety valve getting stuck or the counterweight being moved. Continued rise in pressure after discharge: This is mainly due to the selected safety valve having insufficient discharge capacity; misaligned valve stem centerline or a rusty spring preventing the valve disc from opening to the required height. Valve disc chattering or vibration: Primarily caused by excessive spring stiffness; improper adjustment of the adjusting ring; excessive discharge pipe resistance, leading to high discharge backpressure. Opening below the specified pressure: Mainly due to inaccurate pressure setting or aging spring reducing its elasticity.

Why Should Right-Turning Vehicles Yield to Left-Turning Vehicles?

Due to the longer travel path of left-turning vehicles, if right-turning vehicles do not yield, left-turning vehicles would have to remain stationary in the middle of the intersection for an extended period, which would disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles. Therefore, for the sake of overall traffic efficiency, right-turning vehicles should yield to left-turning vehicles. Here are the relevant details: Right-turning and left-turning refer to vehicles moving in opposite directions, where one vehicle turns right and the other turns left, both entering the same intersection. In such cases, the right-turning vehicle must yield to the left-turning vehicle. The 'yield-to-the-right' principle means that when two vehicles approach an intersection simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. This is because, in countries where the driver's seat is on the left, the left 'A-pillar' is closer to the driver and obstructs a larger portion of the view, while the right 'A-pillar' is farther away and obstructs less. Thus, the left-side vehicle can more easily spot the right-side vehicle earlier, while the right-side vehicle is at a visual disadvantage and should therefore be given the right of way.

Can I drive for Didi with a newly obtained driver's license?

You cannot drive for Didi with a newly obtained driver's license. Passing the driver's test only proves that you have passed the exam, but it does not mean you have mastered all driving skills. Driving skills need to be improved through continuous practice to achieve proficiency. For safety reasons, there is a one-year probation period for newly obtained driver's licenses. Additionally, Didi has requirements for drivers, including a minimum of three years of driving experience. Below are the basic requirements for Didi drivers: The car used for Didi must be less than six years old, in good condition, with a base price of at least 70,000 RMB, and a mileage of less than 100,000 kilometers. Male drivers must be between 22-60 years old, and female drivers must be between 22-50 years old, with good health. Didi offers different service types: premium cars require at least three years of driving experience, while standard cars require at least one year of driving experience. Applicants must provide verification of their ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. A criminal record screening is required; those who fail the screening will not be approved. Traffic violation records and major accident screenings are also conducted. Applicants with 12 or more demerit points within one year or major traffic accidents within three years will not be approved.

Is There Any Harm in Doing the First Maintenance Before 3000 Kilometers?

Doing the first maintenance before 3000 kilometers will not cause any harm. The first maintenance of a car can be referred to as the break-in maintenance. Depending on the model, the mileage for break-in maintenance varies from 3000 to 5000 kilometers, with the first 1500 kilometers being the most critical period, which is the key focus of break-in maintenance. Below are some precautions for the break-in period of a new car: Avoid high-speed driving: Try to avoid driving the car at speeds up to 120km/h. This actually helps maintain the engine's performance and prolong its lifespan. Avoid overloading: Placing excessively heavy objects in the car during the break-in period undoubtedly puts pressure on the vehicle. Overloading often requires frequent gear changes, and the constant shifting between high and low gears can be very detrimental to the engine. Avoid driving on extremely poor road conditions: Driving on very rough roads during the break-in period can cause significant tire wear. Moreover, prolonged driving under such conditions forces the engine to operate at high power continuously, which is bound to cause damage.
