Volkswagen's new Santana is equipped with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, supplied by the Japanese Aisin Transmission Manufacturing Company. The most notable features of this transmission are its wide application, stable quality, reliable technology, durability, smooth shifting, and high transmission efficiency, fully meeting the needs of daily driving. Old engine: The older Volkswagen Santana 3000 was fitted with a Type 01N automatic transmission. This transmission is a 4-speed fully electronically controlled automatic transmission with a torque converter featuring a lock-up function. The Type 01N automatic transmission is compact in structure, rationally laid out, and highly efficient in transmission. The transmission housing is of an integrated type, with internal structures including planetary gears, valve bodies, clutches, and brakes. Engine: It is powered by the EA211 all-aluminum environmentally friendly engine developed by the Volkswagen Group, with the cylinder block, cylinder head, and oil pan all made of aluminum alloy.

The manual transmission model of the new Santana is quite renowned. Having studied cars for many years, I can confirm this vehicle uses Volkswagen's MQ200 model, which features 5 gears and is primarily used in entry-level models. Why is the MQ200 so common? Because it's designed to be lightweight and durable, with an optimized internal gear structure that ensures smooth shifting without sticking issues. For family cars like the Santana, pairing with this transmission makes driving worry-free, even in stop-and-go city traffic. I also recommend regular checks on the shifting mechanism to prevent wear over time from affecting the shifting feel. Volkswagen's system has been in use for several years with a solid reputation—just remember to choose the correct specification when changing the transmission oil. Over time, you'll appreciate its quick response, low maintenance costs, and excellent cost-performance ratio.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Rotating Front and Rear Tires?

No, a wheel alignment is not necessary after rotating front and rear tires. The primary purpose of tire rotation is to ensure even wear across all four tires, thereby extending their service life. Generally, a wheel alignment is only required under the following circumstances: 1. Severe wear on one side of the tire; 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by an accident; 3. After replacing steering system components; 4. The vehicle pulls to the left or right when driving straight. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusting them to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. This is because the installation of the vehicle's four wheels, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles must maintain specific relative positions, which are set by the manufacturer. The process of adjusting and restoring these standard positions is what constitutes a wheel alignment.

Failure rate of Baojun CVT transmission?

Baojun CVT transmission failure rate is not a fixed number and should be judged based on the vehicle's service life. The following is an introduction to CVT continuously variable transmission: Advantages of CVT continuously variable transmission: The CVT transmission system theoretically can have an infinite number of gears, allowing for more flexible gear settings. It is easier to achieve a balance between gear ratio, speed ratio, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions compared to traditional transmission systems. The mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of CVT transmission are significantly better than those of conventional automatic transmissions, second only to manual transmissions, with much better fuel economy. Disadvantages of CVT continuously variable transmission: Compared to traditional automatic transmissions, CVT has not been used in cars for a long time, and there are not many cars equipped with CVT in the domestic market. This means that the maintenance cost of CVT is relatively high, and if not operated properly, the probability of problems is higher. CVT transmissions can only handle limited torque. Except for the Multitronic transmission in the Audi A6, most CVT transmissions cannot handle heavy loads and are only suitable for small cars with engine displacements of around 1L to 1.5L.
