Volkswagen's wet dual-clutch transmission may exhibit jerking during start-up due to the following reasons: Structural Design: The jerking sensation is primarily caused by the transmission's structural design. A dual-clutch transmission can be simply understood as consisting of two sets of manual transmissions combined, controlling odd and even gears respectively. Clutch Immersed in Oil: Many high-end dual-clutch transmissions now commonly immerse the clutch in oil for heat dissipation purposes, commonly referred to as wet dual-clutch transmissions. Manufacturers claim this solves the issue of clutch overheating and further optimizes gear-shifting logic to reduce the jerking sensation. However, this approach inevitably increases clutch resistance, trading transmission efficiency for stability.

What are the model and size of the transmission chain?

The model and size of the transmission chain are Type A and Type B. Here is an introduction to engine-related content: 1. Energy conversion: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine usually converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Device: An engine can refer to both a power generation device and the entire machine including the power device (e.g., gasoline engine, aircraft engine). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of the engine also originates from English, and its original meaning refers to that 'mechanical device that generates power.'

Do You Need to Depress the Clutch When Braking to Slow Down a Manual Transmission Car?

When braking to slow down a manual transmission car, you do not need to depress the clutch. Here is more information about the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Classification: (1) Electromagnetic clutch, which controls the engagement and disengagement of the clutch through the energization and de-energization of the coil. (2) Magnetic particle clutch, which places magnetic particles between the driving and driven parts. When not energized, the magnetic particles are in a loose state; when energized, the magnetic particles combine, and the driving and driven parts rotate simultaneously.

Why is it difficult to shift into first and second gears?

It is generally due to the absence of synchronizers in first and second gears. Below is an introduction to synchronizers: 1. Classification and structure: Synchronizers come in various forms such as constant-pressure type, inertial type, and self-energizing type. Currently, the inertial type synchronizer is widely used. It mainly consists of a coupling sleeve and a synchronizer locking ring, and its characteristic is achieving synchronization through friction. 2. Constant-pressure type synchronizer: A splined hub 1 is installed between the first shaft gear 2 and the gear 4, which is loosely fitted on the second shaft 5. The splined hub is slidingly connected to the second shaft and the coupling sleeve 3 through its internal and external splines. By moving the coupling sleeve to the left or right, its internal spline gear ring can engage with the coupling gear ring of gear 2 or gear 4, thereby engaging the direct drive or second gear.

What are the consequences of severe water ingress in car carpets?

Severe water ingress in car carpets can lead to the following hazards: 1. Sponge deterioration: If the carpet is dried but a persistent musty smell remains in the car, it indicates that the floor mat underneath, including the sponge material, has also become damp and moldy. This requires professional repair services to remove the seats and lift the floor mat for thorough cleaning to eliminate the odor. 2. Bacterial growth: Even after drying, the car may retain residual odors or foster harmful bacteria. Water entering the car often carries dirty water like sewage, which is highly contaminated with bacteria. 3. Disinfection: After cleaning and drying the carpet, it is advisable to use specialized disinfectants or alcohol for interior sanitization to prevent health risks from bacteria. If odors persist after treatment, consider spraying deodorizers or placing citrus fruits like oranges or pineapples in the car to gradually neutralize the smell with their natural fragrance.

Why Doesn't the New Car Come with a Manual?

Purchasing a new car typically includes a manual, maintenance handbook, and warranty handbook. If the manual is not provided, simply request it from the 4S dealership where you bought the car. Below is a partial introduction to the documents you should receive when purchasing a new car: 1. Purchase Invoice: The invoice is the most important proof of purchase and one of the documents required for vehicle registration. Be sure to obtain it from the dealer and confirm its validity. 2. Vehicle Factory Certificate: This is another crucial document and is mandatory for vehicle registration. Vehicles without this certificate cannot be licensed. 3. Warranty Handbook: According to relevant regulations, within a certain period and mileage, if the vehicle experiences malfunctions or damages due to manufacturing quality issues, the warranty handbook entitles the owner to free services from the manufacturer. 4. User Manual: The manual explains the vehicle's usage methods and main technical parameters. Users must operate the vehicle reasonably in accordance with the instructions provided in the manual.
