The main functions of the clutch are: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle startup; 2. Enabling smooth gear shifting in the transmission; 3. Preventing overload in the drivetrain. Clutches are categorized into electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be engaged or disengaged as needed. The working principle of the clutch involves the transmission of torque generated by the engine to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the contact surface of the driven plate. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the mechanism causes the diaphragm spring's large end to move the pressure plate backward, separating the driven part from the driving part.

Where is the coolant located in a car?

The coolant is located in the coolant reservoir on the right side of the engine compartment. The coolant reservoir has MAX and MIN level marks on the side. When the engine is cold, if the coolant level is below the MIN mark, it should be topped up. The amount to add should be based on the marks on the reservoir, ensuring it stays between the MAX and MIN levels. Below are the functions of automotive antifreeze: 1. Antifreeze: Coolant mixed with ethylene glycol can be used in temperatures as low as -70°C. The freezing point ranges between -20°C and -45°C, allowing for appropriate selection based on regional needs. 2. Boil prevention: The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol, the higher the boiling point of the coolant. 3. Corrosion prevention: The primary function of coolant is to prevent corrosion.

Can Bank Mortgaged Cars Be Purchased?

It is not recommended to purchase during the mortgage period. Bank-mortgaged cars outside the mortgage period can be bought, but one must be fully aware of the precautions when purchasing such vehicles. Cars during the mortgage period: If the car is still under mortgage and the owner has not fully repaid the bank loan, and the owner is selling it, it is best not to purchase. While this method may save a significant amount on the purchase cost, if the owner fails to repay the loan on time, the vehicle will be repossessed by the bank, causing substantial losses to the buyer. Outside the mortgage period: Another scenario is when the owner cannot repay the loan on time, and the bank needs to sell or auction the vehicle to recover losses. In this case, the purchase risk is significantly reduced because the bank has clear mortgage agreements and detailed owner information. The only drawback is that the buyer cannot obtain ownership of the car but can still use it, purchase insurance, and undergo annual inspections. Precautions when purchasing bank-mortgaged cars: Complete documentation: When buying a mortgaged car, it is essential to understand the original owner's details, check their ID, vehicle registration, transfer agreement, and other relevant documents. Only after verifying all aspects should you proceed with the purchase, signing a fair agreement to avoid unnecessary disputes later. Vehicle condition: Always inspect the car's components, such as the engine, chassis, brakes, and tires, to avoid purchasing a heavily repaired vehicle. Consider bringing a professional to assist with the inspection. Vehicle source: The most critical factor when buying a mortgaged car is its legal origin. Never purchase an illegally obtained vehicle.
