Automatic transmission makes a clicking sound when accelerating from a stop due to issues such as transmission problems, loose drive shaft joints, transmission wear, worn output shaft inside the transmission, worn transmission gears, or shifting mechanism failure. Another possible cause is parking on a slope and engaging the P gear before applying the handbrake. Solutions are as follows: 1. Maintenance: Replace transmission fluid and perform a comprehensive transmission service; 2. Avoid aggressive driving: Be mindful of not driving too aggressively in daily use to prevent accelerated transmission wear. An automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual shifting operations.

What are the contents of the full introduction to CRV features?

Full introduction to CRV features: 1. Internal features: Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the system is enabled by default and is not recommended to be turned off unless on slippery roads such as during rain or snow. Parking radar/image, which alerts the driver to surrounding obstacles through images and warning sounds. Internal/external air circulation, internal circulation means the air inside the car is self-sufficient, while external circulation refers to the exchange of air between the inside and outside of the car. Use internal circulation in congested areas or environments with poor air quality. On highways, switch to external circulation approximately every hour to replace the air inside and outside the car to prevent oxygen deprivation. 2. Automatic features: Auto Hold, which automatically locks the wheels without the need to keep the foot on the brake pedal. Pressing the accelerator again will allow the car to continue moving. Auto Start-Stop, which temporarily turns off the engine at traffic lights. The engine restarts once the foot is removed from the brake pedal.

What are the VW Group 91 and 93 data streams?

VW Group 91 and 93 data streams are factory-set values for the vehicle. Whether the data values are high or low, any deviation indicates an abnormality in the data stream. Abnormalities in the 91 and 93 data streams occur because the EA888 engine experiences unusual vibrations during startup. Continuing to operate the vehicle under these conditions can cause the timing chain to skip teeth, leading to valve-to-piston contact. It is recommended that owners take their vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Here is some information about the VW EA888 engine: The EA888 engine is a source of pride for Volkswagen. This engine incorporates a series of advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing. It delivers ample power while also improving fuel efficiency, achieving a balance between performance and economic environmental friendliness.

Can a rusted car rocker panel be repaired?

Yes, a rusted car rocker panel can be repaired. Here are methods to prevent rust: 1. Keep the vehicle clean: Maintaining cleanliness is the foundation of car maintenance. Wash the car regularly, paying special attention to cleaning the chassis. Professional chassis maintenance and cleaning are usually very expensive. Due to varying road conditions, it's difficult to keep the vehicle clean after prolonged use. The car's chassis is most exposed to road contaminants like dirty water, so extra attention should be paid to its cleanliness during washing. 2. Protect exposed metal parts: Any exposed metal on a car can oxidize and rust. Nowadays, rust prevention fluids can be purchased at regular car maintenance shops. Proper use of different types of metal protectants after washing can significantly prevent metal oxidation and rust. 3. Apply paint to the car chassis: The chassis is the most rust-prone area. Painting the chassis can effectively prevent rust. Typically, applying a fresh coat of paint to the chassis once a year can maximally prevent oxidation and aging of the car chassis.

How often should the high-pressure fuel pump be replaced?

5 years. The service life of a gasoline pump is 5 years. It mainly depends on mileage and fuel quality. Replacement is not necessary if it does not affect engine performance. Below is extended information on the causes of automotive fuel pump damage: 1. Not refueling promptly: Gasoline has a cooling and lubricating effect on the fuel pump. Delaying refueling after the fuel warning light comes on can reduce the cooling and lubricating effects, leading to fuel pump damage. 2. Insufficient fuel pressure: When the fuel level warning light in the dashboard illuminates, the fuel pump motor may not receive adequate cooling and lubrication due to the low fuel level, causing the motor to overheat or even stop. 3. Long-term neglect of gasoline filter replacement: Severe blockage in the fuel supply system due to an unchanged gasoline filter forces the fuel pump to work harder, and prolonged high-load operation can also cause fuel pump damage. 4. Poor fuel quality: When fuel quality is poor, impurities or foreign objects may be present in the fuel tank. Large particles are blocked by the filter screen, while small particles are sucked into the fuel pump motor, accelerating its wear.

How often should motor vehicles undergo on-site inspections?

For small motor vehicles, inspections are required once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspections are required annually; and after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Motor vehicle on-site inspection: Motor vehicle on-site inspection is one of the procedures for the annual vehicle inspection. Only vehicles that pass this inspection can officially pass the annual review, obtain the annual inspection mark, and be allowed to continue driving on the road. Inspection content: If the appearance inspection is fine, the vehicle queues up for the on-site inspection. The inspection line is responsible for checking items such as brakes, headlights, and chassis, which takes about 5-10 minutes. Once the vehicle is driven off the line, a computer-printed form is issued, listing items such as braking, lighting, and horn. A "0" is printed for passing items, and an "X" for failing items.
