Volkswagen Tiguan L transmission models vary depending on the engine displacement: 1. The 1.4T model uses the DQ250 transmission; 2. The low-power version of the 2.0T model uses the DQ380 transmission; 3. The high-power version of the 2.0T model uses the DQ500 transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio; 2. To expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. To enable the car to reverse; 4. To facilitate gear shifting or power output. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, a wheelbase of 2791mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and a curb weight of 1650kg.

Regarding the transmission model of the Volkswagen Tiguan L, I see many people asking about this question. From a technical perspective, it is usually equipped with a DSG dual-clutch transmission. The mainstream models include the DQ381, which is designed for the 2.0T engine. This is a 7-speed wet-clutch design, offering fast shifting and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for SUV driving needs. The wet-clutch provides better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of jerking and is more reliable compared to dry-clutch transmissions. The models may vary by year and region; for example, the DQ381 is commonly used in the Chinese market after 2017, while overseas versions sometimes use the DQ500. The model determines the maintenance cycle, and it is recommended to change the transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers to prevent wear. I was also curious and tested it—after matching with the engine, the driving is smooth. However, owners can check the VIN code to confirm the specific model to avoid selecting the wrong parts.

What are the differences between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines after five years?

Here are the differences between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines after five years: 1. Different working principles: 1. Naturally aspirated is a type of car intake that relies on atmospheric pressure to force air into the combustion chamber without any supercharger. 2. Turbocharged engines use a turbocharger to increase engine air intake. The turbocharger (Turbo) is essentially an air compressor that utilizes exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine housing (located in the exhaust passage), which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. 2. Different levels of maturity: 1. In terms of maturity, naturally aspirated engines undoubtedly have an advantage. 2. In terms of maturity, turbocharged engines require an additional set of components, which introduces assembly and reliability challenges, making them slightly less mature.

Are Letters Considered Odd or Even Numbers?

There is no unified regulation on how to determine whether a vehicle license plate ending with an English letter is odd or even, as different regions have varying criteria. Here is relevant information: 1. In some regions, when the license plate ends with an English letter: The letter is treated as zero and managed as an even number. 2. In other regions, the 26 English letters are divided: The first 13 letters are considered odd numbers, and the last 13 letters are treated as even numbers. Additionally, some areas distinguish based on the digit preceding the letter—if the digit before the letter is odd, the plate is considered odd; if even, it is treated as even. Some places determine odd or even based on the alphabetical order of the letter.

Is 92 Octane Gasoline or Diesel?

92 octane belongs to gasoline because diesel does not have a 92 octane rating. Gasoline is used for gasoline engines, while diesel is used for diesel engines. The two cannot be mixed, as doing so may damage the vehicle's engine. Gasoline: It has a high octane number and excellent anti-knock properties, making it suitable for high-compression ratio carburetor-type gasoline engines. Automotive gasoline is classified into 92, 95, and 98 octane grades based on the engine's compression ratio. 92 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with a compression ratio ranging from 8.6 to 9.9, 95 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with a compression ratio between 10.0 and 11.5, and 98 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with even higher compression ratios. Diesel: It is a light petroleum product and a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, serving as fuel for diesel engines. Diesel is primarily produced through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking, and is then blended into diesel fractions. It is graded based on the freezing point: light diesel has six grades (5, 0, -10, -20, -35, -50), while heavy diesel has three grades (10, 20, 30).

Can You Sit in the Driver's Seat Without Starting the Car After Drinking?

Can You Sit in the Driver's Seat Without Starting the Car After Drinking? Sitting in the car without starting it after drinking will not be considered drunk driving. Below is relevant information about drunk driving: 1. Criteria for Determination: Drunk driving refers to the driving behavior where the blood alcohol content of the vehicle driver is greater than or equal to 20mg/100ml but less than 80mg/100ml. Driving under the influence (DUI) refers to the driving behavior where the blood alcohol content of the vehicle driver is greater than or equal to 80mg/100ml. 2. Hidden Penalties: Background checks are required for civil service examinations, public institution recruitment, military enlistment, etc. On May 1, 2012, drunk driving was included in the scope of criminal penalties. If the person being checked or their close relatives are sentenced to detention due to drunk driving (i.e., having violated criminal law), it will have a certain degree of impact on the person being checked.

Where is the clutch in an automatic transmission?

In an automatic transmission, the clutch is located within the gearbox, and gear changes are performed automatically. Only manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal, while automatic transmissions do not. Typically, the clutch is controlled by the vehicle's onboard computer. Here is additional information: 1. How the automatic clutch works: The independent system that achieves automatic control of clutch separation and engagement primarily consists of mechanical, electronic, and hydraulic components, including gear position sensors, wiring harnesses, display and voice units, clutch drive mechanisms, and control computers. This design is mainly aimed at manual transmission models and does not alter the original vehicle structure during installation. The computer control system determines the vehicle's state and the driver's intent, simulating the best driving techniques to control the clutch drive mechanism with optimal speed and timing, ensuring quick separation and smooth engagement of the clutch. This results in comfortable and seamless starts and gear shifts while preventing stalling and unnecessary fuel consumption. 2. Purpose: The system guides drivers with voice prompts for correct operation, maintaining the fun of driving a manual transmission while reducing driving fatigue and lowering vehicle fuel consumption, ultimately aiming to protect the engine.

How long does it usually take to practice depressing the clutch?

Depressing the clutch practice time depends on individual comprehension ability. Some people with strong comprehension skills can learn it in just one day, while others with weaker comprehension may need several days to master it. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Here is some relevant information about the clutch: 1. Function: The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, installed between the engine and the transmission. Its role is to connect or disconnect the engine from the transmission. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages. 2. Components: The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc located between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The clutch disc has a spline in the center that secures a drive shaft, which is the power input shaft of the transmission. The clutch disc is a wear part that needs regular replacement. As the car's mileage increases, the clutch disc will gradually wear out. 3. Replacement: To replace the clutch disc, the connection between the engine and the transmission must be disconnected, and then the entire transmission must be lifted off the car. Only in this way can the clutch disc be replaced.
