What are the symptoms of a damaged flywheel in an Audi A6L?
1 Answers
The manifestations of a damaged car flywheel include engine shaking, causing imbalance in transmission, and abnormal noises from the engine flywheel. Introduction to the flywheel: It is a disc-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, functioning like an energy storage device. The flywheel and pressure plate have dynamic balance requirements. Imbalance due to assembly issues or component quality can lead to crankshaft fatigue and longitudinal cracks in the flywheel housing. Functions of the flywheel: The flywheel is a disc-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, acting like an energy storage device. For a four-stroke engine, power is generated once every four piston strokes, meaning only the power stroke produces work, while the exhaust, intake, and compression strokes consume energy. As a result, the torque output by the crankshaft varies periodically, and the crankshaft speed is unstable. To improve this situation, a flywheel is installed at the rear end of the crankshaft. The main functions of the flywheel are to store energy and inertia outside the engine's power stroke.
