The CVT transmission of the Tiggo 7 can last for 30 years or more. With proper maintenance, a CVT transmission can generally be used for 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers or around 15 to 20 years. Below is additional information: Recommendations: The lifespan of a transmission depends on road conditions, maintenance, and the driver's habits, and there is no precise data for reference. It is recommended to fully warm up the car before using sport mode, ensuring the coolant reaches normal operating temperature. Frequently using the car when cold may increase wear on the engine and transmission. CVT Transmission: It offers excellent smoothness, and its core component is the steel belt. The lifespan largely depends on the usage duration of this belt, but the belt is not as fragile as many might think. The material commonly used is Bosch's pressure steel belt. Function: While driving, to adapt to different conditions, the car's driving force and speed need to vary within a certain range. However, the torque and speed range of existing engines cannot meet this requirement, hence the need for a transmission.

I've worked on many similar models during my car repair experience. The lifespan of a CVT transmission like the one in the Tiggo 7 largely depends on how you use and maintain it. Generally speaking, if the owner changes the transmission fluid regularly, such as performing maintenance every 50,000 kilometers, combined with smooth driving without frequent sudden acceleration or steep hill climbing, it can last 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers without major issues. However, I've also seen some careless users experience failures before reaching 100,000 kilometers, with symptoms like abnormal noises or jerking, often caused by excessive oil temperature or improper lubrication. I recommend developing good habits: check the oil level every six months and use qualified OEM fluid. This can avoid expensive repairs and extend the vehicle's overall lifespan. In short, the transmission is like the heart of a car - proper maintenance ensures worry-free long-distance driving.

As an owner of a Tiggo 7, I've driven it for nearly four years and clocked 120,000 kilometers. The CVT transmission still runs smoothly. When I first bought the car, I heard its lifespan was around 150,000 kilometers, so I ensure regular maintenance: changing the oil every 30,000 kilometers, driving gently, and avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking. During hot summers, I pay extra attention to cooling, parking in underground garages or using air conditioning to assist. A friend's car, thanks to diligent maintenance for fuel and cost savings, lasted 180,000 kilometers without needing a replacement. However, neglecting maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan. I recommend beginners start gently to reduce transmission wear, saving both money and hassle. Overall, use it reasonably to keep up with your driving rhythm.

From a safety perspective, the lifespan of a CVT transmission is directly related to driving hazards. The Tiggo 7 typically lasts over 150,000 kilometers, but individual variations are significant. Neglecting maintenance can lead to failures such as acceleration malfunctions, posing higher risks especially in congested or high-speed conditions. Key measures include regular fluid checks, avoiding inferior products, and conducting evaluations every 20,000 kilometers. Environmental factors also play a role, with higher temperatures accelerating aging. Timely maintenance can prevent breakdown accidents, safeguarding both you and your family. Simply put, the service life is the safety line.

What are the rules for the new energy vehicle lottery?

New energy vehicle lottery rules: The quota management for new energy passenger cars implements "separate allocation" with a dedicated lottery pool. The eligibility criteria for obtaining a new energy vehicle quota are basically the same as those for the traditional lottery, but buyers must commit or confirm that they have the conditions to install charging facilities. The benefits of new energy vehicles are as follows: 1. Save fuel energy: Generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Protect the environment: Reduce exhaust emissions and effectively protect the environment. Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust and have no pollution. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit water as exhaust, which does not pollute the environment. Because they are essentially zero-emission, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

What are the effects of running out of windshield washer fluid?

The effects of running out of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Increased resistance: This will cause greater resistance on the wiper blades, potentially damaging the wiper motor over time. 2. Glass damage: Prolonged dry wiping can damage the windshield, potentially causing scratches that reduce visibility. 3. Impaired vision: Scratching the glass may obstruct the driver's view, increasing accident risks. There are two types of windshield washer fluids: 1. Liquid washer fluid: First pour in the washer concentrate, then add plenty of water to ensure thorough mixing. Washer fluid is typically blue, and the mixture should appear light blue. Too high a concentration may create excessive foam during spraying, obstructing visibility. 2. Solid washer tablets: The mixing order doesn't matter, with approximately 1 tablet requiring 2-3 liters of water.

What Causes a Car Not to Start When the Battery Has Power?

Car not starting but the battery has power could be due to a damaged fuel pump or excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs. Below are related explanations about why a car may not start: Damaged Fuel Pump: As the most fundamental component in the engine's fuel supply system, a damaged fuel pump can prevent the car from starting or make it difficult to start when attempting to turn on the vehicle. Excessive Carbon Buildup on Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are also one of the key components for car starting. Generally, spark plugs need to be replaced after about 60,000 kilometers. Carbon buildup on spark plugs, engine oil burning, or incomplete combustion can lead to black oil deposits on the spark plugs, preventing them from igniting properly. In severe cases, this can directly cause the car not to start, necessitating spark plug replacement.

What Causes an Engine to Idle at an Abnormally High Speed?

An engine idling at an abnormally high speed can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Fuel Injection System: Insufficient fuel system pressure or clogged fuel injectors leading to poor atomization can cause idling issues. Check if the fuel filter is clogged or dirty, and replace it if any abnormalities are found. Inspect whether the fuel pressure regulator is functioning properly, then check the fuel pressure. The normal fuel pressure should be between 250kpa and 300kpa. 2. Idle Control System: A dirty or stuck idle control valve or a broken control circuit can prevent the engine from increasing idle speed as commanded by the computer. If the air intake cannot meet the load requirements, it may result in idling issues or stalling.
