Automatic transmission failure symptoms include: 1. Transmission Slipping: While driving, when accelerating, you hear the engine revving without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, accompanied by poor acceleration; 2. Transmission Fluid Leak: Noticeable difficulty when starting the vehicle, and although engine RPM increases when pressing the accelerator, there is no significant increase in speed; 3. Transmission Jerking: During driving, gear shifts feel noticeably jerky or shaky, possibly due to excessively high transmission fluid temperature, internal accumulation of stubborn dirt and debris, or valve body blockage; 4. Transmission Noise: Unexplained noises or even loud sounds from the transmission while driving, with no identifiable source, and intermittent, muffled noises during gear changes.

How to Solve the Vibration Issue of Buick Excelle?

Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. Below is relevant information: 1. If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the oil pads and spark plugs, but still notice body vibration at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensor are normal. 2. The Buick Excelle is another masterpiece launched by the Buick brand after the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave, based on the "global platform, European and American technology." It integrates the best dynamic genes that the Buick brand has endowed to mid-size cars, bringing a new five-door coupe driving experience to the mid-size car market. The launch of the Buick Excelle fills the product gap between the new Excelle and the new Regal for the Buick brand, and further strengthens and perfects the product lineup of the Buick brand.

What to Do When the Cadillac XT5 Displays 'Transmission Service Required'?

If the XT5 suddenly displays 'Transmission Service Required', it is recommended to directly visit a 4S dealership for diagnostics to check the fault codes. Common transmission issues include: 1. Transmission fluid leakage. Oil seepage from the transmission housing or oil pan could be due to aging seals causing poor sealing or manufacturing defects resulting in porosity in the housing. 2. Clogged transmission inlet filter screen; severe oil circuit leakage; damaged oil pump. During driving, gear shifting may feel jerky or abrupt, which are common symptoms of automatic transmission problems, potentially caused by contaminated transmission fluid leading to valve body sticking. 3. Transmission slippage, lack of acceleration power; water ingress in transmission. While driving, if the engine revs without corresponding speed increase and the vehicle feels sluggish, this is often due to burnt clutch plates. Water entering the transmission from external sources (e.g., radiator cross-contamination or via the transmission vent cap) can cause abnormal transmission operation.

What do the F and E on the Leiling fuel gauge represent?

The E and F characters on the Leiling fuel gauge represent the remaining gasoline in the fuel tank. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The fuel gauge displays the fuel level through a float in the fuel tank connected to a metal rod. This principle is similar to the toilet tank in a bathroom. The end of the metal rod connected to the float is linked to a variable resistor via a movable contact point. The position of the float on the fuel surface in the tank changes, which in turn alters the position on the variable resistor via the metal rod. This variable resistor is connected to the car's fuel gauge, and the movement of the fuel gauge pointer is controlled by the amount of current passing through the variable resistor. 2. When the fuel is about to run out, the dashboard will issue a low fuel warning, shaped like a vertical soda can, with the warning symbol in red. Generally, after this warning appears, the car can still travel about 5 kilometers before running out of fuel. Different cars have different settings, so it is essential to find the nearest gas station for refueling after the warning appears.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Boyue?

Method to open the bonnet of the Geely Boyue: Pull the bonnet release handle located at the lower left side of the driver's side dashboard inside the car, marked with this symbol, to open it. Here is some relevant information: 1. The bonnet switch of the Geely Boyue is located in the control area on the left side of the steering wheel, where there is an unlock button. Just press it lightly, and the bonnet will slightly pop up with a "click" sound to unlock. However, pressing the bonnet unlock button inside the car does not fully open it. There is another latch located under the bonnet, in the middle of the front cover. Only after releasing this latch can the bonnet be fully opened. 2. Closing the bonnet of the Boyue is also very simple. Pull down the bonnet, place both hands on the front edge of the bonnet, corresponding to the positions of the headlights on both sides, and press down gently. There is no need to use excessive force. When you hear a "click" sound, it means the bonnet is securely closed. Avoid pressing too hard on the central part of the bonnet, and it is best not to slam it shut, as the bonnet is made of aluminum alloy and excessive force may cause dents.
