Here are the differences between dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch: 1. Different heat dissipation: Dry dual-clutch uses air cooling for heat dissipation, relying on wind to drive away heat; Wet dual-clutch is immersed in oil, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency. 2. Different methods: Dry clutch is a manual transmission friction plate clutch, with high mechanical transmission efficiency, relatively complex operation, and high failure rate; Wet clutch is an automatic transmission oil-immersed friction plate clutch, with low mechanical transmission efficiency, easy operation, and low failure rate. Additional information: Dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as they are prone to overheating, leading to malfunctions. Once the vehicle computer issues a warning, it is necessary to stop immediately and cool down the transmission.

Does the Fista Meet the China 6 Emission Standard?

Fista meets the China 6 emission standard. Below are relevant introductions about the China 6 standard: Introduction to engine oil for China 6 vehicles: China 6 vehicles use 5w30 semi-synthetic engine oil. The selection of engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced engine oil for engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade engine oil be used for engines with higher requirements. The engine oil model recommended in the user manual should be selected. Owners should try to choose multi-grade oil, as multi-grade oil is economical, long-lasting, and efficient, providing better protection for the engine. Introduction to the reasons for the high fuel consumption of China 6 vehicles: The main reason is that China 6 models require the use of specialized China 6 fuel. The additives in China 6 fuel contain 10% more ethanol, which is equivalent to 10% less gasoline content. Therefore, compared to China 5 fuel, China 6 fuel consumption is slightly higher.

Where is the manual transmission oil filler port on the Peugeot 308?

The manual transmission oil filler port on the Peugeot 308 is located at the top center of the transmission. There is a round screw in the middle position, which can be unscrewed to access it. The manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. The Peugeot 308 is a compact family car with dimensions of 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2675mm. The Peugeot 308 is equipped with three types of engines: a low-power and a high-power version of the 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, as well as a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The low-power 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 190 Nm; the high-power 1.2-liter turbocharged engine produces 136 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm; the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine offers 117 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm.

What are the reasons for jerking when shifting gears in the Teana 2.0?

The reason for jerking when shifting gears in the Teana 2.0 could be due to a malfunction in the pressure valve or friction plates. Working principle of the pressure regulating valve and friction plates: By receiving signals from the industrial automation control system (e.g., 4~20mA), the valve is driven to change the cross-sectional area between the valve core and the valve seat, thereby controlling process parameters such as the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the pipeline medium. This achieves automated regulation. The working principle of braking mainly relies on friction, utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc (or drum), as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy through friction, thereby bringing the car to a stop. Solution: First, check whether the quality of the transmission oil is normal. It is possible that after the car heats up, the transmission oil becomes thinner, causing the pressure in various pressure valves to fail to reach the normal values accurately.
