This is caused by a break in the CAN bus communication line. Here are the relevant details: 1. Line break: This refers to a break in the communication line between the engine control unit and the automatic transmission control unit. It is necessary to check whether the wiring at the connectors of these two control units is secure, and whether there is any short circuit or poor contact. A multimeter should be used for inspection. Repairing the wiring will resolve the issue. Timely maintenance and repair are essential to ensure stable, comfortable, and safe driving. 2. Instability: If the communication between the engine control module and the automatic transmission is interrupted or unstable, occurring intermittently, the two will not be able to coordinate properly. The transmission will then enter a fault mode and remain in neutral, causing the vehicle to be unable to continue driving.

How to Clean Oil Film on the Car Windshield?

There are several methods to clean the oil film on the car windshield: 1. Use a dedicated windshield oil film cleaner or detailing clay for removal; 2. Simply use toothpaste to remove it; 3. While driving, rinse it off with windshield washer fluid. Ensure any residues left during cleaning are thoroughly rinsed and wiped with a clean towel, otherwise water stains may form after the glass dries. The windshield is exposed to oil and dust in the air, and over time, without thorough cleaning, these accumulate to form an oil film on the vehicle. The oil film can obstruct the driver's view while driving, posing safety hazards, especially during rain or at night, and thus needs to be promptly removed. The oil film is very stubborn and cannot be completely removed with regular car washing. Special oil film removers and soft cloths are required for effective cleaning.

Why can't the sunroof of Audi Q5 close properly?

The reasons why the sunroof of Audi Q5 cannot close properly are: 1. System operation issue. You can try repeatedly closing the sunroof while driving, press the button that tilts the sunroof, pull it downward and forward, then set it in the MMI, and long-press the lock button to close the windows; 2. The motor overheats due to excessive resistance from jamming, which is common after summer exposure. Parking in a shady spot for a while can help, and you can add some lubricant or adjust the sunroof. The Audi Q5 is a mid-size SUV launched by Audi.

What is the difference between a manual-automatic transmission and a dual-clutch transmission?

Manual-automatic and dual-clutch transmissions differ in their composition: a manual-automatic transmission is a combination of a manual transmission and an automatic transmission, featuring both manual and automatic modes; a dual-clutch transmission consists of two transmissions, both of which are automatic. The manual-automatic transmission integrates manual and automatic shifting modes, allowing drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM for a more dynamic and sporty driving experience. The dual-clutch transmission, or DCT, differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. It combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output.
