Reasons for the jerking sensation when starting an automatic transmission car: 1. The fewer gears an automatic transmission car has, the stronger the jerking sensation during gear shifts; 2. The intensity of the jerking sensation during gear shifts is closely related to the driver's control skills. If the engine speed and vehicle speed just meet the gear shift standard, the jerking sensation during upshifting will be more pronounced; 3. If the jerking sensation during gear shifts is very strong, it indicates an abnormality in the transmission. You can first check the transmission fluid to see if it is insufficient or has deteriorated. In fact, except for CVT continuously variable transmissions, other transmissions will have some degree of jerking sensation. However, due to manufacturers' tuning, even continuously variable transmissions may exhibit jerking sensations. Therefore, some degree of jerking sensation during gear shifts is inevitable, with only the intensity varying.

What does Santana 180 mean?

Santana 180 refers to the car's displacement being 1.6 liters. Introduction to car displacement: Car displacement refers to the total capacity of all cylinders in the engine. For example, if a car engine has 4 cylinders with each cylinder having a capacity of 0.5 liters, then the engine's displacement is 2 liters. Displacement means exhaust volume, and cylinder working volume refers to the volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement. It depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. Engine displacement is the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders, usually expressed in liters. Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, representing the size of the engine more accurately than cylinder bore and number of cylinders. Many indicators of the engine are closely related to displacement. Factors affecting car displacement: The smaller the displacement, the lower the fuel consumption, and correspondingly, the weaker the engine power. This can be seen from the unit of engine displacement, which is milliliters. This means the volume of combustible gas mixture that can be accommodated in the cylinder, so engines with smaller displacement will naturally have lower fuel consumption.

What does it mean when the SVS light is on in a JMC vehicle?

JMC SVS light being on may indicate an issue with the engine or automatic transmission. Below are specific reasons and solutions: Engine fault: Fuel quality is the primary factor causing the engine fault light to illuminate. As is known, the anti-knock quality of gasoline is indicated by the octane number. The higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock quality. Therefore, poor fuel quality is the main reason for insufficient engine combustion, leading to the engine fault light turning on. Solution: Pull over to the side of the road or drive to the nearest service area and park. Observe the engine self-check light, check if the engine coolant temperature is too high, verify if the engine is low on oil, and observe whether the engine is running smoothly. Automatic transmission fault: Transmission slipping or lack of acceleration power: While driving, if you hear the engine revving without an increase in vehicle speed during acceleration, and the car feels sluggish, this is often caused by burnt clutch plates. Solution: This issue is difficult to resolve on your own and should be handled by professionals.

Does the sound of chassis collision when going over a pothole affect the car?

Going over a pothole with a sound of chassis collision does affect the car. If the speed is too fast, it may puncture the oil pan, causing oil leakage. The solutions for this situation are as follows: Park and inspect: After a significant collision, you should stop and inspect the car. If oil leakage is found under the car, it is likely that the oil pan has been punctured. The oil pan is where the engine stores oil, which is used for engine lubrication and cooling. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to engine cylinder scoring or even complete failure. Stop driving: If severe shock absorber oil leakage is found after the collision, you should stop driving to prevent the shock oil from contaminating the brake system, which could significantly reduce braking performance and compromise safety.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ruicheng CC?

The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ruicheng CC is approximately 9 seconds. Introduction to 0-100 km/h acceleration: 0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. Generally, compact cars with 1.6-liter engines achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration times between 11 to 13 seconds, while supercars typically accelerate in less than 3.8 seconds. Among vehicles with the same displacement, those equipped with turbocharged engines have a significant advantage in 0-100 km/h acceleration due to their more powerful output and a very wide range of maximum torque, allowing the vehicle to achieve maximum acceleration at very low RPMs. Factors affecting 0-100 km/h acceleration: Drive configuration: Most mainstream vehicles today are front-wheel drive, which puts them at a disadvantage during 0-100 km/h acceleration. During acceleration, the inertial force acting on the vehicle's center of gravity creates a moment that shifts most of the weight to the rear wheels. This means the rear wheels bear more load and can achieve greater traction, while the front wheels become relatively lighter, resulting in reduced traction and power loss.

What is the difference between Mobil Gold and Mobil Silver?

The differences between Mobil Gold and Mobil Silver include viscosity and base oil. Here are the detailed explanations: Different viscosity: Mobil Silver has three viscosity grades: 5w-30, 5w-40, and 5W-50, while Mobil Gold only has one viscosity grade: 0W-40. Different formulations: Mobil Silver typically uses MSDW hydroisomerized oil, commonly known as Group III+, which is no longer a true full synthetic. On the other hand, Mobil Gold uses Group IV PAO full synthetic base oil, and its additive formulation provides better anti-wear protection and low-temperature performance compared to Mobil Silver, making it more expensive.

What to do if there are oil stains on the car paint that cannot be washed off?

If it is stubborn stains, only strong cleaning agents can be used for cleaning. Below are the relevant methods for cleaning oil stains on car paint: New paint: Oil stains can cause fatal damage to the paint surface, so timely treatment is particularly important. If detected early, they can be wiped off directly with a cloth. If the paint or oil stains have been present for a long time: The paint surface will develop wrinkles, bubbles, cracks, and the so-called "orange peel" phenomenon. At this point, waxing alone can no longer handle the issue. It is necessary to use sandpaper specifically designed for car cleaning to remove the paint and oil stains, and then restore the car's surface gloss by waxing. If the corrosion is severe, the entire section of paint can be refurbished.
