The reason the clutch alternates between soft and hard is due to component issues. Below are specific explanations for the causes of a clutch varying in stiffness: 1. Component abnormalities: Inspect the clutch pedal's return spring, free play, and the clutch assembly for any abnormalities. If faults are found, perform targeted repairs. 2. Component aging: The clutch pedal return spring may age or fail, reducing the pedal's resistance and making the clutch feel softer. If the diaphragm spring fails, it can also lead to a softer clutch pedal, difficulty disengaging the clutch, slipping, and reduced vehicle power.

Why Did Geely Fail to Acquire Technology from Volvo After the Acquisition?

Geely's inability to acquire technology from Volvo after the acquisition can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Legal Aspects: One factor involves legal constraints. Although Volvo has been acquired by Geely, as of now, Volvo Cars and Geely Auto remain two independent automotive brands. Directly utilizing the other party's core technology without Volvo's permission would constitute infringement. 2. CMA Platform: Geely and Volvo have devised an optimal solution—the CMA platform, jointly developed by both brands. The greatest advantage of this platform lies in the fact that the technologies developed under it do not entail the high maintenance and repair costs associated with Volvo's technologies, while also offering certain improvements over Geely's previous technologies. Therefore, this compromise solution has proven satisfactory for Geely.

How long does it take to get the license plate after vehicle inspection?

Generally, it takes 5-7 days to get the license plate after vehicle inspection. After the inspection, the owner can go to the new vehicle service hall to complete the relevant license plate registration procedures. The specific time required depends on the region and the flow of people. In some regions with high efficiency and fewer license plate registration users, the license plate can be obtained on the same day, as the production of the license plate only takes half an hour. The following are the precautions for license plate registration: 1. Vehicle certificate is required for license plate registration: When registering the license plate at the vehicle management office, the vehicle certificate needs to be submitted to the staff for archiving. 2. Purchase invoice is required for license plate registration: Whether you buy a car from a 4S store or a car trade company, you will receive a purchase invoice after the purchase. This invoice must be kept properly, as the car cannot be registered without it. When registering the license plate, the purchase invoice needs to be given to the staff at the vehicle management office, and this invoice also needs to be archived.

Where is the air intake of a sedan located?

The air intake of a sedan is generally located at the front of the engine. Symptoms of a leaking car intake pipe are as follows: 1. Weak engine operation: Since the air entering the engine through cracks in the intake pipe bypasses the air flow sensor, this portion of air dilutes the combustible mixture in the engine cylinders, leading to symptoms of weak engine operation. 2. Increased nitrogen oxide emissions in exhaust: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in vehicle exhaust are generated in a high-temperature, oxygen-rich environment. An excessively lean combustible mixture further promotes the formation of nitrogen oxides, thereby increasing the emission of vehicle exhaust pollutants.

Which is the largest used car market in Nanjing?

The largest used car market in Nanjing is the Dagong Used Car Trading Center, located at No. 25-27 Xianyao Road, Qixia District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Other relatively large used car trading markets include: Nanjing Tiancheng Used Car Trading New Market, Jiangsu Zhongchi Used Car Market, and Nanjing Fangze Used Car Trading Market. Below are methods to check if a used car has been in an accident: 1. Check the production date of the glass: Normally, the glass wouldn't be replaced, so checking the production date can be helpful. The glass date is usually in the format of numbers + dots, where the numbers represent the year and the dots represent the month. 2. Examine the wear and tear on the frame: If the car has been in a major accident, the body frame will show varying degrees of dents and misalignment. Thus, the condition of the frame can indicate whether the car has been in a serious accident. 3. Inspect the screws: Check the screws on the hood, the radiator support, and the door connections. If any of these screws show abnormalities, it's highly likely that the car has been in a major accident. 4. Review the maintenance records: You can check the maintenance records at a 4S shop. Any accident car repaired at a 4S shop will have a system record.

Can a Flooded Car Still Be Used?

Generally, after a car is flooded, it needs to be repaired at an auto repair shop or claimed for compensation. Whether a flooded car should be scrapped mainly depends on the extent of the flooding. If the flooding is severe and the car cannot be repaired, it can only be scrapped. If the owner has relevant insurance, they can contact the insurance company for compensation. Methods to check a flooded car: 1. Open the hood: Check if there is mud left on the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, and the front panel of the radiator (viewed from below). 2. Front and rear seats: Check the springs and the inner sleeve's burlap for residual mud and moldy smell. 3. Check the trunk seats: Look for residual mud in the hidden seams and dead corners on both sides of the rear wheel wells. 4. Middle of front and rear doors: If there is an obvious mud line, it indicates the height of the water the car was submerged in (due to too many hard-to-clean seams and dead corners inside the car pillars). 5. Front and rear windshield rubber: Use a screwdriver to pry it open (from inside the car). If there is mud inside, it is a fully submerged car. If the water level exceeds the hood, it is considered a fully submerged car.
