Differences between CVT and Tiptronic transmission: 1. Different internal structures: CVT uses two variable-diameter pulleys connected by a belt for power transmission; Tiptronic transmission is a type of transmission that allows manual gear shifting. 2. Different technical characteristics: CVT achieves continuously variable transmission over a wide range; Tiptronic transmission increases static friction by enhancing the pressure between the steel belt and rollers. 3. Different working principles: In CVT, both the driving and driven pulley sets consist of movable and fixed discs, with one side of the pulley near the cylinder being able to slide on the shaft while the other side is fixed; In Tiptronic transmission, during gear shifting, the circumferential speeds of the gear teeth of the selected gear pair must be equal to ensure smooth engagement and gear shifting.

What are the common issues with the 2012 Veloster?

The common issues with the 2012 Veloster are the overly stiff suspension and interior rattling on bumpy roads. Below are the shortcomings of the Veloster: 1. The space performance is acceptable. According to tests, front-row passengers around 180 cm tall won't feel too cramped. The main drawback is the rear row, which only has two seats. The middle seat is a cup holder and cannot be used for sitting. Additionally, due to the car's body design, taller passengers in the rear row may feel quite cramped. 2. The Veloster's comfort is subpar. The front row is somewhat acceptable, but the rear row is not very friendly, especially for families of four. The rear row's space, suspension, and comfort are all lacking, though it can manage short trips.

What is the tightening sequence for cylinder head bolts?

The tightening sequence for cylinder head bolts follows the principle of starting from the middle, then moving to both sides, and proceeding in a crisscross pattern. However, they should not be tightened all at once. The bolts should be tightened to the specified torque in at least three stages, with each stage involving slight loosening and re-tightening to prevent bending. This ensures the cylinder head remains flat and avoids damage to the cylinder gasket. Below is an explanation of the tightening sequence: 1. Due to the high sealing requirements of the cylinder head, following the principle of starting from the middle, then moving to both sides, and proceeding in a crisscross pattern prevents deformation caused by improper bolt installation and reduces the risk of punching. 2. Bolts are widely used detachable fasteners, typically used in conjunction with nuts. Because bolt connections are easy to install, remove, and reuse, they are very commonly used. The bolts on the engine cylinder head should not be overly tightened; they must be torqued according to specifications to avoid unnecessary issues.

What is the difference between gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil?

Diesel engine oil and gasoline engine oil mainly differ in their composition. Here is the relevant information: 1. The API rating of oil used in diesel engines is different from that used in gasoline engines. The quality level, also known as the API rating, is usually marked on the left or right side of the oil viscosity value. 2. Although both gasoline and diesel engines operate under high temperature, high pressure, high speed, and high load conditions, there are significant differences between them. During operation, the compression ratio of a diesel engine is twice that of a gasoline engine, or even more. The main components of a diesel engine endure much greater impact from high temperature and high pressure compared to those in a gasoline engine.

What Causes Slight Shaking During Car Ignition?

Engine shaking during car ignition may be attributed to the following two reasons: 1. After driving for a certain distance, a dirty throttle can cause the throttle to not close properly or the idle speed stepping motor to get stuck, both of which can result in excessively high engine idle speed. Additionally, carbon deposits accumulated during engine operation can also cause vehicle shaking, especially when starting the car. The engine may shake more noticeably than usual, and sometimes it may even fail to start on the first attempt. 2. Car shaking can sometimes be related to aging engine mounts. Engine mounts are essentially the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior of the car, causing shaking during idle.
