Possible causes of jerking when starting a car include: clogged engine oil passages; dirty transmission fluid blocking oil passages; damaged transmission solenoid valves; forgetting to release the handbrake; irregular wear of the clutch, etc. Here is an extended explanation: For automatic transmission vehicles, some jerking during startup is normal. If you need to accelerate sharply while driving, you must press the accelerator pedal deeply. At this point, the automatic transmission will downshift to increase engine RPM. Once the RPM reaches a certain level, it will upshift again. After upshifting, the RPM will drop noticeably, resulting in a relatively pronounced jerking sensation.

What type of engine oil is suitable for Citroen C5?

Citroen C5 uses engine oil with the specification 5W40. Different types of engine oil determine the working efficiency and service life of the engine. The following are three types of engine oil: mineral oil, semi-synthetic, and full-synthetic oil. 1. Mineral oil is based on refined petroleum mineral oil with additives. 2. Synthetic oil is produced through processes like cracking and polymerization. If the base oil for engine oil production is entirely made from such synthetic oil, it is called full-synthetic oil. 3. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend between mineral oil and synthetic oil, with varying proportions of mineral and synthetic oil in different 'semi-synthetic' oil products.

Can the Lavida car use a 70Ah charger?

The Lavida car can use a 70Ah charger as long as the battery base can accommodate it and the battery height matches. Ampere-hour ratings for different cars: Normal household car batteries have capacities between 54-60Ah. Gasoline-powered sedans typically use 65Ah, while trucks use 100Ah. Diesel engines usually require 150Ah or 200Ah. Types of car batteries: Batteries are an essential part of automobiles and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Since maintenance-free batteries use lead-calcium alloy grids, they produce less water decomposition during charging and have lower water evaporation. Combined with their sealed construction, they release minimal sulfuric acid gas. Compared to traditional batteries, they offer advantages such as no need to add any liquid, better terminal connections, and longer charge retention.

What are the functions of a fuel filter?

Fuel filters are used to remove dirt and impurities from fuel. Here is a detailed introduction to fuel filters: 1. The function of a fuel filter is to filter out impurities in the vehicle's fuel, ensuring that the fuel supplied to the engine for combustion is cleaner. 2. The fuel filter is connected in series in the pipeline between the fuel pump and the throttle body's fuel inlet. 3. It removes solid contaminants such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing blockages in the fuel system (especially in the fuel injectors). 4. It reduces mechanical wear, ensures stable engine operation, and improves reliability.

Where is the headlight fuse located in the Haval H6?

The headlight fuse of the Haval H6 is located in the cabin fuse box. Introduction to fuses: There are many electrical devices in the car circuit connected by wires of different colors, among which the most important should be the fuse. The fuse is a customary name, and it is called a fuse in the national standard. The function of the fuse is to protect the circuit (wiring) and electrical equipment. Fuse size: Small car fuse box; medium car fuse box; large car fuse box. Common injection molding materials include: PBT engineering plastics, each material is different and has varying degrees of high temperature resistance. When selecting a car fuse box, the current size of the car fuse used and the size requirements of the fuse should be considered to choose different fuse boxes.

What are the symptoms of damaged shock absorber top rubber?

Damaged shock absorber top rubber exhibits the following symptoms: 1. Abnormal noises: When the shock absorber top rubber is severely worn and damaged, the vehicle's shock absorber will produce unusual sounds during operation. The steering may become misaligned or the steering wheel may tilt during straight-line driving. 2. Steering deviation: When the shock absorber top rubber is damaged, the vehicle's steering may exhibit slight deviation, difficulty in returning to center, and reduced return force. 3. Increased noise: Due to the lack of cushioning from the top rubber, the shock absorber will transmit absorbed vibrations and impacts directly from the chassis to the passenger compartment during operation. 4. Stationary steering noise: Even when the shock absorber is not in operation, excessive wear and damage to the top rubber can cause very noticeable abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary.

What are the reasons for the car's heater not producing heat?

Here are the detailed reasons why the car's heater is not producing heat: 1. The thermostat is constantly open or opens too early, causing the cooling system to enter the major circulation prematurely. Since the external temperature is very low, the engine coolant temperature cannot rise, and the heater will not produce heat. 2. The water pump impeller is damaged or slipping, resulting in insufficient flow through the heater core, preventing heat from being delivered. 3. There is an airlock in the engine cooling system, which disrupts proper coolant circulation, leading to high coolant temperature and a non-functioning heater. If there is always air in the cooling system, it is likely due to a damaged cylinder head gasket allowing combustion gases to enter the cooling system. If the inlet pipe of the heater core is very hot while the outlet pipe is relatively cold, this indicates a blockage in the heater core, and it should be replaced.
