There are three main reasons for water dripping from the car chassis in summer. Below is a detailed introduction to these three reasons: 1. Drainage holes to prevent water accumulation on the body: In addition to normal drainage from the air conditioning system, muffler, and exhaust pipe, which are part of the car's internal operating systems, the car chassis is also equipped with specially designed drainage holes to remove accumulated water from the body during rain or snow. These drainage holes include the engine compartment drainage hole, sunroof drainage hole, door drainage hole, and trunk drainage hole. 2. Air conditioning system drainage: It is normal for the air conditioning system to drain water in summer. During summer, moisture from the hot air inside the car condenses on the very cold heat-absorbing fins of the evaporator and is collected as droplets by the plastic casing of the evaporator, then drained out of the car through pipes. 3. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car: Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car is also normal. Gasoline is injected into the cylinders and mixed with air. After complete combustion in the combustion chamber, it mainly produces carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, the water is discharged into the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor. Since the muffler is located at the rear of the car where the temperature is relatively low, the water vapor condenses into liquid water when it cools down.

What are the symptoms of a faulty transmission computer?

Transmission computer failure symptoms include the transmission being unable to shift gears normally, rendering the vehicle undrivable. Only vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions have a TCU (Transmission Control Unit), while manual transmission vehicles do not. The TCU acts as the brain of the automatic transmission, collecting data through various sensors and controlling gear shifts via actuators after processing. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), dual-clutch transmission, and AT (Automatic Transmission). The transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an automotive component designed to alter the speed and torque from the engine, with the capability to maintain or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts.

How Much Steering Wheel Turn is Needed for a Curve?

Turning requires one full rotation of the steering wheel. For tight turns at small intersections, you may need to turn the wheel one full rotation and then adjust slightly if the angle is insufficient. For easier turns at larger intersections, you can start with half a turn of the steering wheel and make minor adjustments as needed. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, boats, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). Generally, for gentle curves, you should steer early and slowly, and return early and slowly. For sharp curves, steer late and quickly, and return early and quickly.

What is the difference between P gear and handbrake?

P stands for Parking gear, used when parking (when turning off the engine and idling for a long time). The principle is to lock the car using the internal device of the transmission, so it must be used only when the car is completely stopped. The handbrake prevents the vehicle from sliding through the braking system. Here are some extended information: 1. The importance of P gear and handbrake: When parking, if only P gear is engaged without pulling the handbrake, parking on a slope can put a lot of pressure on the gear lock mechanism of the vehicle's transmission. In severe cases, it may cause damage or oil leakage to the transmission, and there is a high chance of the car rolling away. If only the handbrake is pulled without engaging P gear when parking, the vehicle's transmission is still in a separated state, which can also easily lead to the car rolling away. 2. Parking an automatic transmission car: When parking an automatic transmission car, it is essential to firmly pull the handbrake and then shift into P gear. P gear serves as an auxiliary brake, acting as a backup. Sometimes, if you directly shift into P gear and turn off the engine without firmly pulling the handbrake while stepping on the brake, there will be a slight impact when releasing the foot brake, especially noticeable when parked on a slope. At this point, P gear comes into play, with the lock pawl engaging with the parking lock wheel and tightly locking together, creating tension. This is also why it is often difficult to shift out of P gear; P gear can be easily disengaged only in a natural state, so the handbrake needs to be firmly pulled first.
