The Volkswagen New Santana uses a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, which is provided by the Japanese Aisin Transmission Manufacturing Company. Automatic Transmission: An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions for cars: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission. Manual-Automatic Transmission: A manual-automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that combines the functions of manual and automatic transmissions. This technology was developed to improve the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions, allowing the driver to take back control over the shift timing that is usually decided by the computer, thereby enhancing driving operability and enriching the driver's experience.

Back when I drove the old Santana, I did some serious research on its transmission. The classic Santana used genuine German parts - the original Volkswagen 02K manual transmission, which was incredibly durable and could last hundreds of thousands of kilometers without issues. The automatic version also used Volkswagen's own 01N transmission with original German technology, providing exceptionally smooth gear shifts. However, it's important to note the production year - models from the 1990s had more imported components, while post-2000 some batches began using locally produced transmission housings in Shanghai, though the core components still employed German technology. To confirm the specific model, the most accurate method is to check the stamped serial number on the transmission housing underneath the vehicle, such as those starting with 02K 300.

When repairing the transmission on my 2007 Volkswagen Santana Vista, I specifically researched the details. This model's manual version is equipped with the Volkswagen MQ200 transmission, which was produced by Shanghai Volkswagen itself. It offers light shifting feel but has some slight clicking noise at low speeds. The automatic version comes with the Japanese Aisin 09G six-speed automatic transmission, which is significantly more fuel-efficient than the older 4-speed automatic. Interestingly, the MQ200 was actually produced at both Tangshan Aisin and SAIC Gear Factory, and the production batch can be identified by the 10th digit of the VIN. Once, while helping a friend shop for a used Santana, I discovered that post-2009 1.6L models sometimes used transmissions from Ningbo Xinrui, so special attention should be paid to the maintenance schedule for these.

Where is the air conditioning filter of BYD Song located?

The air conditioning filter of BYD Song is located behind the glove box in the blower. Steps to replace the air conditioning filter of Song: 1. Remove the glove box on the passenger side. Open the glove box, detach the nylon damper, squeeze the sides of the glove box inward to release the retaining clips, allowing the glove box to tilt downward. Alternatively, loosen the upper and lower fixing screws of the glove box to remove it entirely. Be cautious when unplugging the glove box's lighting connector. 2. Remove the air conditioning filter cover. The elongated cover has clips on both sides; squeeze the clips toward the center to release them. 3. Take out the old air conditioning filter and insert the new one. Pay attention to the orientation of the new filter; the arrow mark on the filter should face upward. 4. Reattach the air conditioning filter cover and reassemble the glove box in the reverse order. Note: Ensure the blower is turned off when replacing the air conditioning filter. The replacement filter must match the original size to prevent debris from being sucked into the blower, which could damage the blades.

How many meters away from the intersection can solid line crossing not be captured?

Solid line crossing beyond 15-30 meters from the intersection cannot be captured. Reasons: The captured image size is approximately between 15-30 meters, and only vehicles traveling at speeds around 250km/h might avoid being captured. Capture principle: Electronic eyes use induction lines to detect the pressure from vehicles on the road. The signals are collected by sensors and sent to the central processor, then temporarily stored in registers. Penalties for solid line crossing by motor vehicles are as follows: According to relevant regulations: According to Article 90 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage shall be given a warning or fined. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibited line markings will result in a 3-point deduction. Penalty: Crossing solid lines to change lanes violates traffic marking instructions and will result in a fine and a 3-point deduction.

What are the common issues with the new 652T model?

The common issues with the new 652T model include high fuel consumption and susceptibility to camshaft solenoid valve damage in the turbocharged engine. The 652T designation represents the new Regal model equipped with a fresh 2.0T engine variant. Several Buick models have adopted General Motors' latest 2.0-liter turbocharged engine (codenamed LSY), including the LaCrosse, Regal, and GL8. Exterior features: The Regal TourX facelift features a redesigned front fascia with enlarged grille, revised headlight clusters and front air dam. The wagon-specific taillights received subtle modifications, complemented by 19-inch 13-spoke alloy wheels. Powertrain specifications: As indicated by the 'Turbo' badging on test vehicles, the powertrain likely carries over the sedan's 2.0T turbocharged unit producing 220hp and 350N·m of torque.

What engine is used in the Chevrolet Sail?

The engine of the Sail is independently developed by Shanghai GM, marking Shanghai GM's first engine with independent intellectual property rights. The Chevrolet New Sail is equipped with a 1.2L and 1.4L high-efficiency engine, with a specific power exceeding 53kw/L and a combined fuel consumption as low as 5.7L/100km, leading among vehicles in the same class and effectively reducing usage costs. Here is an introduction to engine maintenance considerations: 1. Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade: For gasoline engines, select SD—SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB—CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. 2. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level (generally up to the upper limit of the oil dipstick). When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter.

What is the internal structure principle of an oil tanker?

The internal structure of an oil tanker is elliptical cylindrical or trapezoidal cylindrical, made of high-quality steel plates. The following is a related introduction to oil tankers: 1. Introduction: Also known as mobile refueling vehicles, computer tax-controlled refueling vehicles, oil guide tankers, oil loading vehicles, oil transport vehicles, oil pulling vehicles, petroleum transport vehicles, or edible oil transport vehicles, they are mainly used for the transportation and storage of petroleum derivatives (such as gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lubricating oil, and coal tar). Depending on different uses and environments, they have various refueling or oil transport functions, including oil absorption, oil pumping, and the ability to separate and distribute multiple types of oil. 2. Safety precautions: To prevent personal electrification, operators must wear anti-static work clothes and anti-static shoes during operation; electrostatic grounding cannot be ignored; sufficient attention should also be paid to accidents caused by "conversion oil loading"—gasoline in the tank must be completely removed first, and operations must be strictly carried out according to procedures; equipment that meets technical specifications and safety requirements must be used.
