What does beam axle suspension mean?

Beam axle suspension refers to non-independent suspension. A non-independent suspension system connects the left and right wheels via a single axle (or structural component). Depending on the suspension structure and its connection method to the vehicle body, non-independent suspension systems come in various forms. Common types include parallel leaf spring, torsion beam axle, and twist beam suspension. Advantages of non-independent suspension: The interconnected left and right wheels during bouncing result in minimal changes in tire angles, reducing tire wear. When the vehicle height is lowered, wheel angles remain relatively unchanged, maintaining consistent handling feel. Simple construction with low manufacturing costs and easy maintenance. Occupies less space, allowing for lower floor height.

What's the matter with the semi-automatic transmission failure of the Sail?

The reasons for the semi-automatic transmission failure of the Sail are as follows: Solenoid valve failure: Inside the small solenoid valve, there is a valve core. The valve core relies on electric current to operate, performing rapid piston-like movements. However, if the valve core becomes stuck or damaged, it can cause unstable oil pressure inside the transmission, leading to issues such as jerking and impact. It is necessary to use instruments to check whether the solenoid valve is damaged. If problems are found, the solenoid valve can be replaced with a new one. Mechanical failure: Internal mechanical wear in the transmission can also lead to transmission failure. Issues such as damaged shift forks, worn bearings, and other mechanical component failures are all part of transmission mechanical failures. If the shift fork is damaged or broken, there will be some mechanical wear inside the transmission, accompanied by certain fault symptoms, such as abnormal noises, failure to shift up, shaking, and impact. Replacing the damaged parts and adjusting the transmission as a whole can easily resolve mechanical failures.

Is the Tiguan a B-segment car?

Tiguan L is not a B-segment vehicle. The B-segment classification applies to sedans, while the Tiguan L falls under the compact urban SUV category. Below are relevant details: Brand Introduction: The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), and ASR (Traction Control System). Features like the less common EDS (Electronic Differential Lock), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), Auto Hold function, and TPR (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) are all standard on the Tiguan, highlighting Volkswagen's strong emphasis on safety. Tiguan L: The new Tiguan L features Matrix-design headlights, prismatic 3D LED taillights, and 19-inch R-Line precision-crafted alloy wheels, exuding a sporty vibe. The sporty digital cockpit boasts a dual-tone interior design with contrasting stitching, enhancing the dynamic atmosphere. It also includes a new 12-inch floating central touchscreen, a high-tech 30-color ambient lighting system, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system, elevating the overall sense of technology.

Why does the Tiguan's fan keep running continuously at 96°C water temperature?

This situation is generally caused by a stuck thermostat switch, and it is recommended to replace the water temperature sensor. Below is the relevant information: Water Temperature Sensor: The function of the water temperature sensor is to convert the coolant temperature into an electrical signal. After inputting it into the ECU, it performs the following actions: adjusts the fuel injection volume—increasing fuel injection during low temperatures; adjusts the ignition timing—advancing ignition timing during low temperatures and retarding it during high temperatures to prevent knocking; and affects the idle control valve—during low temperatures, the ECU controls the idle control valve based on the water temperature sensor signal to increase idle speed. Tiguan: The Tiptronic 6-speed automatic transmission, derived from Porsche sports car technology, perfectly complements the TSI engine, elevating the Tiguan's powertrain to industry-leading levels and delivering an unparalleled driving experience. Additionally, the Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline versions of the Tiguan feature the advanced 4MOTION intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which enables intelligent distribution of drive torque to all four wheels, ensuring optimal traction on slippery or muddy terrain and providing owners with exhilarating off-road performance.

Can the Tiguan still be driven when the coolant light is on?

Tiguan cannot continue to be driven when the coolant light is on. The introduction of coolant is as follows: Importance of coolant: The function of coolant is to dissipate heat for the engine. Without coolant, the car's engine and radiator lack protection, which affects the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. The engine temperature will continue to rise without effective cooling, and the antifreeze cannot circulate normally. Continuing to drive under such conditions may cause severe engine damage. In cold climates, it can also lead to freezing of the engine or radiator, causing engine failure and rendering the vehicle unusable. Optimal coolant level: The coolant reservoir usually has markings for the maximum (max) and minimum (min) levels. If the coolant level is below the minimum, it indicates insufficient coolant, which needs to be added promptly. The optimal amount of coolant should be between the max and min levels.

What is the fuel tank capacity of Jinbei Haise?

The fuel tank capacity of Jinbei Haise is 45L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L engine, naturally aspirated intake, a manual transmission, front MacPherson independent suspension, and rear leaf spring non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Wuling Hongguang PLUS has a fuel tank capacity of 53L, the Baojun 360 has a 40L tank, and the Spica has a 50L tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is nearly full.

What are the characteristics of ABS?

ABS characteristics: It not only has the braking function of an ordinary braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking, ensuring the stability of the car's braking direction, and preventing side slipping and deviation. It is currently the most advanced and effective braking device in automobiles. The role of ABS: It maximizes the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance. It effectively prevents vehicle side slipping and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. It allows steering during emergency braking, providing excellent steering control. It avoids severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear. How ABS works: During braking, ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock up, and keeps the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock up, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to rapidly decrease due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking up due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (slip ratio S of 20%), achieving the best braking effect and the highest driving safety.
