What Causes the Transmission Noise in Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Transmission noise in the Roewe RX5 may be caused by insufficient oil, low oil levels, the use of oil that does not meet the original specifications, or improper maintenance. Below is relevant information about the Roewe RX5: 1. Configuration: The 2018 Roewe RX5 will launch three new models, with upgrades to two existing ones. Depending on the configuration, the new models will feature a panoramic camera, electric tailgate, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, keyless entry, and one-touch start. 2. Powertrain: The 2018 Roewe RX5 adopts the "Blue Core" high-efficiency powertrain technology, equipped with a 2.0T and a 1.5T mid-mounted direct-injection turbocharged engine. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 8.1L per 100 km. The 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 6.8L per 100 km.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for a while now, and the strange noises from the transmission are indeed concerning. There are several common causes. The transmission fluid might be low or dirty and in need of a change, as poor fluid quality increases friction and causes noise. Worn gears or bearings can also produce strange noises, especially in older cars that have been driven tens of thousands of kilometers. If there's a clunking sound during gear shifts, the clutch or synchronizer might be the issue. New cars sometimes make noises too, possibly due to the break-in period, but persistent sounds shouldn't be ignored. I remember last time I heard a grinding noise, I immediately took it to the 4S shop for inspection, and they found the fluid level was too low—topping it up made the noise go away. Don’t overlook this issue; transmission repairs can be expensive, and small problems can escalate into bigger ones if ignored. For safety's sake, diagnose and fix it early.
