I've been driving for over a decade and have a particular fascination with BMW. The chassis code for the new 3 Series is G20, which is the standard designation for the sedan version, while the wagon variant is G21. This generation was introduced in 2019, replacing the previous F30, and brought significant changes. For instance, the body incorporates more aluminum alloy to reduce weight, and the suspension tuning is more balanced, resulting in a more agile and stable driving experience. Chassis codes are crucial for maintenance and modifications, helping to avoid purchasing incorrect parts. For example, at classic car meets, mentioning G20 immediately lets everyone know which model you're referring to. It's advisable to keep an eye on its electrification trend, as the next generation might look quite different.

What is the model of Jetta manual transmission oil?

Volkswagen Jetta manual transmission oil model is 5w90. Transmission oil is a lubricant used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the service life of the transmission device. The signs that indicate the need for transmission oil replacement are: body shaking, gear shifting hesitation; the dashboard shows a transmission high-temperature warning; the car stalls; unusual noises appear. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil and then refill. Directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain and refill the oil: this method is more thorough than the previous one, removing impurities at the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulating machine to replace automatic transmission oil: dynamic oil replacement with an intelligent circulating machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. The hazards of not replacing transmission oil for a long time: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Affects the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage to the transmission valve body.

Why is the gear position light not working on a BMW 5 Series?

The gear position light not working on a BMW 5 Series is mainly caused by a faulty gear position switch. Gear position light circuit: Damage to the power supply circuit of the gear position light can also cause the light not to work, requiring the circuit to be replaced; at the same time, water entering the transmission causing a short circuit in the circuit can also result in the gear position light not working. Consequences of the gear position light not working: The gear position light not working can affect the normal use of the transmission. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. When the vehicle is parked, the P (Park) gear should be used, the R (Reverse) gear should be used when reversing, and the D (Drive) gear should be used when moving forward. If encountering other road conditions, the S (Sport) gear may be needed.

What to Do About Slow Tire Leaks?

Slow tire leaks require corresponding measures based on the specific causes: If the tire is slowly leaking due to a foreign object puncturing it and not being removed, a tire repair should be performed as needed; If the leak is from a previously repaired area, indicating either an inadequate initial repair or a new puncture, a tire repair or replacement should be considered as appropriate; If the wheel rim is deformed, preventing it from fitting snugly with the tire, the wheel rim should be replaced. Car tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car's suspension system, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also maintain strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities, while bearing the weight of the car.

Does the Handbrake Control the Front or Rear Wheels?

The handbrake controls the rear wheels, as it typically uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes. In most cars, the handbrake primarily acts on the rear wheels. While the foot brake (service brake) simultaneously stops all four wheels, the handbrake usually engages the non-driven wheels due to space constraints within the wheel assembly. In most vehicles, the non-driven wheels are the rear wheels. The parking braking force required by the handbrake is relatively low, making a simple cable mechanism sufficient, unlike the foot brake which employs various braking devices. The handbrake is part of the vehicle's braking system, which is further divided into: service braking system, parking braking system, emergency braking, safety braking, and auxiliary braking systems.
