Here are the reasons for clutch shudder: 1. Clutch shudder: Let the engine idle, engage a low gear, slowly release the clutch pedal and increase the throttle to start. If the vehicle body shakes at this point, it indicates clutch shudder. 2. Uneven distribution of positive pressure between the driving and driven discs: The uneven elasticity of the pressure springs in frequently engaged clutches, inconsistent adjustment of the release levers, and/or uneven ends of the diaphragm spring fingers can lead to asynchronous pressure application, uneven force on the pressure plate, or even tilting of the pressure plate, resulting in poor contact between the driving and driven discs and causing clutch shudder. Automotive parts experts suggest replacing the clutch pressure springs and leveling the release levers in such cases. 3. Weakened damping spring elasticity: Weakened elasticity of the clutch torsional damping springs, weakened clutch pressure springs, or cracks in the diaphragm spring can all cause shudder during clutch engagement. The recommended solution is to replace the springs. 4. Poor contact of the clutch lining: Poor contact of the clutch lining, surface hardening, or adhesion of sticky substances can easily lead to clutch shudder. In such cases, the clutch lining should be re-bonded.

What is the normal difference in tire pressure between the four wheels?

It is impossible for the tire pressure of all four wheels to always be consistent. Generally, the front two tires will have slightly higher pressure than the rear ones, and a difference within 0.1 bar is normal. The following are the reasons for differences in tire pressure: 1. The front and rear tire pressures are inherently different, which is a normal phenomenon related to the vehicle's center of gravity position and drivetrain configuration. Front-wheel-drive vehicles have higher front tire pressure, while rear-wheel-drive vehicles have higher rear tire pressure. 2. According to research data from the "Tire Industry," tire pressure increases with rising temperature. For every 30°C increase in temperature, tire pressure rises by 16.5%, and when the temperature increases by 40°C, tire pressure increases by 19.5%, resulting in variations in tire pressure.

Where is the Lynk & Co engine produced?

Lynk & Co's engines are produced at the Volvo Zhangjiakou Engine Plant. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with the same Drive-E series VEP4 2.0T turbocharged engine as the Volvo V40, specifically the 2.0T low-power version T4, which is a Ward's 10 Best Engines award winner. This engine weighs only 127kg, with both the cylinder block and cylinder head made of all-aluminum design, resulting in a more compact size. Combined with secondary fuel injection and centrally mounted high-pressure direct injection technology, it significantly improves fuel efficiency, achieving the dual advantages of low fuel consumption and low emissions. 2. Additionally, the small-diameter, lightweight turbocharger allows for earlier turbo engagement, reaching maximum torque at just 1400rpm, while the exhaust gas turbocharging system effectively increases air intake, enhancing the engine's maximum power and torque.

Does a car consume fuel when idling without turning off the engine?

Leaving a car idling without turning off the engine will definitely consume fuel. The following are the hazards of idling without turning off the engine: 1. When the engine speed is very low, the intake vortex weakens, resulting in poor fuel atomization and incomplete combustion of the fuel. Additionally, at low engine speeds, valve leakage and piston ring leakage increase. Combined with the extended contact time between the combustion gases and the cylinder walls, heat dissipation losses increase, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. During idling, the engine oil pressure is relatively low, worsening the lubrication conditions of moving parts. Unburned fuel washes the cylinder walls, and incomplete combustion can easily lead to carbon deposits. These factors accelerate the wear of moving parts. Moreover, when the coolant temperature drops below 60 degrees, combustion byproducts in the cylinders may react chemically with moisture, forming acids that increase cylinder corrosion.

What are the benefits of forged wheels?

Forged wheels offer benefits such as high strength, enhanced safety, strong plasticity, lightweight, excellent heat dissipation, and fuel efficiency. Forged wheels represent the most advanced method currently available for manufacturing aluminum rims. The characteristics of forged aluminum rims are as follows: 1. Fuel efficiency. Tests show that using forged aluminum rims can save 2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. 2. Tire wear is reduced by 26%. Due to the properties of forged aluminum rims, which are resistant to deformation and dissipate heat quickly, tire wear is significantly reduced, allowing each tire to last an additional 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 3. Improved safety. Thanks to their superior thermal conductivity and structural design, forged aluminum rims can effectively dissipate heat generated by tires and the chassis into the air. Even during long-distance high-speed driving or continuous braking on downhill slopes, they help maintain an appropriate tire temperature, thereby reducing the risk of tire blowouts.

Why is it difficult to shift from P to R gear?

Difficulty in shifting from P to R gear is mainly caused by incorrect parking methods. Here are the details: When you last parked and turned off the engine, because the engine was still running, shifting from D or R gear to P gear requires passing through R gear, which causes the gears to get stuck. As a result, it becomes difficult to shift out of P gear the next time. Here are the solutions to the difficulty in shifting from P to R gear: (1) Stop the car by pressing the brake, keep the brake pressed, shift from D to N gear, then engage the handbrake with your left foot, release the foot brake with your right foot, shift from D to P gear, turn off the engine, and exit the car. (2) When driving, press the foot brake, start the engine, and shift gears to solve the problem.
