The functions of a car clutch are: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle starting; 2. During driving, when different transmission gears are used to adapt to changing driving conditions, the clutch can temporarily separate the engine from the transmission, preventing the meshing force-transmitting gears in the transmission from being difficult to separate due to unrelieved load and high pressure between the meshing surfaces; 3. The car clutch transmits torque through friction. When the load in the transmission system exceeds the torque that friction can transmit, the driving and driven parts of the clutch will automatically slip, thereby preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact.

What Are the Causes of High Car Idle Speed?

The causes of high car idle speed are as follows: First, the idle speed control valve malfunctions. Normally, electronic fuel injection engines determine the normal idle speed through the idle speed control valve. During driving, the electronic control unit calculates based on the information transmitted by the car engine to adjust the intake air volume, thereby changing the engine's idle speed. However, if oil stains or carbon deposits affect the idle speed control valve, the electronic control unit cannot receive accurate information, which in turn affects the adjustment of the idle speed, leading to excessively high idle speed. Second, there is a leak in the intake system. Maintaining normal idle speed requires strict control of the intake air volume. When the intake system leaks, the electronic control unit cannot perform accurate calculations, resulting in an increased intake air volume and consequently excessively high idle speed. Third, the fuel injector leaks or is clogged. When the fuel injector leaks or is clogged, it causes issues in the car's internal fuel injection system, leading to either excessively high or low concentration of the internal mixture. This inevitably affects the cylinder's operation, causing unstable idle speed.

What is the engine model of the Volkswagen Tiguan L?

Volkswagen Tiguan L is equipped with the EA888 turbocharged engine. Here is some extended information about the EA888 engine: 1. The EA888 engine is a newly designed engine by Volkswagen, belonging to the third generation. It integrates advanced technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing to achieve a balance between power and fuel efficiency. 2. The EA888 series includes two displacements: 1.8L and 2.0L. The mechanical structures of these two engines are basically the same, with differences in the length of the connecting rods between the crankshaft and pistons. The 2.0TSI has a shorter connecting rod and a larger crankshaft radius compared to the 1.8TSI, which increases the displacement. 3. The piston top structures of the two engines are slightly different, mainly to adjust the working volume of the combustion chamber, ensuring a consistent compression ratio and achieving the same combustion effect.

Why does the Mondeo dash cam always have power?

Because the dash cam body has its own built-in battery. Even after the car is parked and turned off, the dash cam still shows power because it has rechargeable and remote network control capabilities. The dash cam digitally records and cyclically updates the road conditions in front of, inside, and around the car. The recorded data includes in-car audio, the car's acceleration, steering, and braking, among other things, to be used for investigating traffic accident liability. Here is some related information about dash cams: 1. Generally, dash cams rely on the car's power to operate during the day. When the car is turned off, the dash cam stops working. Although the dash cam body has its own battery, some batteries can last for four to five hours on standby, while others may only last for about half an hour. Therefore, the dash cam can operate continuously during the day, but it will shut down at night due to power limitations. 2. Under normal circumstances, the Mondeo dash cam's power cord is connected to the ignition switch line. When the ignition switch is turned off, the dash cam also stops working. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process's video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents.
