For automatic transmission vehicles, the inability to reverse can generally be attributed to transmission issues. When attempting to engage reverse gear, if the reverse gear indicator light is illuminated, it indicates that the transmission's wet clutch has supplied hydraulic oil, and the light only turns on when there is sufficient pressure. Analysis of potential fault causes is as follows: 1. Friction plates: The wet clutch friction plates of the transmission are stuck in the spline groove. 2. Oil valve: The reverse clutch oil drain valve fails to seal properly. 3. Splines: Wear has occurred on the splines of the transmission's reverse wet clutch. Note: Hydraulic transmission systems (automatic transmissions) are generally simpler to diagnose and repair compared to mechanical transmissions (manual transmissions). However, due to their simpler structure, inspections require meticulous attention to detail. Often, overlooking a single seemingly minor issue can lead to the need for rework.

What Causes Water Leakage Under the Car's Front Passenger Seat?

Water leakage under the car's front passenger seat is mostly caused by door leaks. If the window regulator has been replaced, it may be due to improper adhesion of the door waterproof membrane after the regulator replacement, leading to leakage. Below is an introduction to the methods for handling water leakage: 1. Treatment Methods: Initially, a clogged sunroof drain hole will be at the entrance of the drain hole, which can be seen by opening the sunroof and cleaned by oneself. Over time, the clog may move into the drainage hose, making it difficult to clear. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for professional clearance by a technician. 2. Special Cases: When closing the door or while driving, a noticeable sound of water can be heard, indicating water accumulation inside the door. In this situation, use thin iron wire or a small screwdriver to clear the drain hole.

Will a Car Parked Outside in Winter Get Damaged by Freezing?

Parking a car outside in winter will not cause it to freeze and get damaged, but it may lead to issues such as battery drain, cold-start failures, and ice formation. Below are detailed explanations: Battery Drain: In low winter temperatures, the electrolyte activity in the battery is relatively reduced, resulting in poorer energy storage capacity. It is important to regularly check the battery's charge and ensure that electrical devices such as the air conditioning and headlights are turned off after shutting down the engine to avoid battery drain. Cold-Start Failures: Apart from weak vehicle performance due to a dead battery, engine oil tends to become more viscous in winter, increasing engine resistance, which is another common cause of difficulty in starting the engine. Ice Formation Issues: When the air temperature is very low, the vehicle's windows may frost or ice over. Additionally, accumulated water in the exhaust pipe can freeze and block the pipe, leading to starting difficulties and vehicle shaking.
