The differences between automatic transmission and dual-clutch: 1. Different principles: Automatic transmission uses a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle size, vehicle speed, and throttle opening; dual-clutch sets two clutches, one controlling odd-numbered gears and the other controlling even-numbered gears. 2. Different operation methods: Automatic transmission vehicles automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed; dual-clutch combines two automatic transmission clutches together, eliminating the need to press the clutch pedal. 3. Different effects: Automatic transmission is more practical, allowing drivers to manually control gears to better match engine speed with gear position, which can also make the car more fuel-efficient; dual-clutch eliminates power transmission stagnation during gear shifting, ensuring that engine power is transmitted to the wheels without delay, commonly used in sports cars.

Do small cars need annual inspections every year?

Generally, small cars do not require annual inspections every year. Below are the relevant regulations for small car inspections: 1. 6-year exemption: New passenger cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from inspections for the first 6 years. After 6 years, they need to be inspected once a year, and after 15 years, they need to be inspected every six months. 2. Regulations for vehicles involved in major accidents: Newly purchased small family cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) do not require on-site inspections within the first 6 years, but cars involved in major accidents still need to undergo on-site inspections. 3. No inspection but must obtain relevant labels: Although new cars do not require on-site inspections, they must still obtain the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection inspection compliance sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. To obtain these, bring the vehicle registration certificate and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the designated window for direct collection, with no fees required.

What Causes Poor Air Conditioning Performance in Small Cars?

There are several reasons for poor cooling performance in car air conditioning systems: 1. Reason One: Refrigerant leakage leading to insufficient pipeline pressure. During the use of the air conditioning system, the refrigerant undergoes continuous chemical changes. Gradually deteriorating refrigerant can corrode various components of the air conditioning system, such as sealing rings and rubber hoses, resulting in refrigerant and compressor oil leakage. 2. Reason Two: Reduced heat dissipation capacity of the condenser. The longer the car is driven, the more oil, dirt, or debris accumulates on the condenser surface, thereby reducing its heat dissipation efficiency. Additionally, faults in the cooling fan or a loose drive belt can also impair the condenser's heat dissipation capability. 3. Reason Three: Blocked air ducts or excessively dirty air conditioning pipelines. The purpose of the cabin air filter is to prevent dust and impurities from entering the vehicle interior, so over time, many contaminants can clog the air vents. Once blocked, the airflow volume naturally decreases, often accompanied by unpleasant odors.

Where is the drainage hole for the Mazda6 car door?

The drainage holes for the Mazda6 car door are generally located in areas such as the fuel tank cap, engine compartment, lower part of the door panel, and sunroof. The most prone to clogging areas are the sunroof and engine compartment. Specific details are as follows: 1. Air conditioning drainage hole: It discharges the condensate water generated during air conditioning use. The drainage outlet is usually located at the lower part of the evaporator box, connected to the chassis via a hose. You may notice a puddle of water under the car after the air conditioning has been running for a while. If the drainage hole is clogged, water may enter the passenger compartment through the connection, soaking items like floor mats. 2. Engine compartment drainage hole: It is typically located on both sides of the front windshield wipers, with one on each side. The engine compartment is a relatively open environment, so wastewater and debris can flow into it along the windshield. Engineers have designed a water barrier at the rear of the engine compartment, along the lower edge of the windshield, and placed drainage holes in the barrier.
