What is the reason for the rattling sound when holding the brake in D gear?

1 Answers

Holding the brake in D gear and hearing a rattling sound can be caused by severe wear of the ball joint under the gear shift, which may require replacing the gear oil or the ball joint. The ball joint, also known as a universal joint, is a component in a car that refers to a mechanical structure using spherical connections to transmit power between different axes. The reasons for ball joint wear include: 1. Poor performance of the shift fork shaft, excessively small clutch travel, and severe wear requiring inspection of the corresponding ball joint movement position; 2. Excessive viscosity of transmission oil, excessive synchronizer wear, where wheel shaking, jumping, and swinging can be felt at low speeds, unresponsive steering, ball joint damage, oil leakage, rust, which is usually visible as damage to the ball joint rubber boot with oil leaking out, and stiff steering; 3. Degraded performance of the clutch pressure plate, excessive synchronizer wear, and reduced performance of clutch oil due to temperature effects.

What is the actual lifespan of a dry dual-clutch transmission?

The lifespan of a dry dual-clutch transmission or other types of transmissions can generally reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers. CVT, AT, and dual-clutch transmissions have sufficiently long lifespans. After all, as manufacturers, without adequate lifespan testing, the after-sales costs would be substantial. Therefore, there's no need to worry about their lifespan. However, a long lifespan doesn't mean they can operate without faults or maintenance for an equally long time. Early Volkswagen dual-clutch transmissions faced many issues due to poor heat dissipation. However, most dual-clutch transmissions have been improved now, especially with the addition of independent cooling programs, which have addressed the heat dissipation problems. Yet, extending the semi-engagement method is a necessary compromise to reduce jerking, so premature wear of the clutch plates still exists.

After refueling, the fuel gauge doesn't move. Was I not given fuel?

No, after a while, the fuel gauge needle will automatically return to normal. Many cars have encountered this issue. If it can automatically return to normal after some time, there's no problem and no need for repair. If it doesn't automatically recover, then go for a check. Below is relevant information about the car fuel gauge: 1. Function: The car fuel gauge has rich and advanced features. It can display the real-time fuel quantity in the car's tank, accurately informing the owner about the car's fuel consumption and the remaining fuel storage. Based on the fuel gauge's display, the owner can decide whether to refuel or estimate how much distance can still be covered. The fuel gauge acts like a warning light for the car's life. 2. Classification: The fuel gauge is an indicator on the engine that displays the fuel quantity, shown either by a pointer or digitally. Therefore, current car fuel gauges are mainly divided into two types: digital fuel gauges and pointer fuel display gauges.

Can Adding Fog Lights Pass the Annual Inspection?

Adding fog lights can pass the annual inspection. Vehicles without fog lights usually have reserved positions for installing fog lights from the factory, so adding fog lights is not considered an illegal modification. However, to be on the safe side, you can also consult the vehicle management office. Generally, in addition to front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, as well as rear running lights and brake lights, there is also a set of anti-fog lights in an inconspicuous place at the rear of the car. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road users to spot the car in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. They emit a stronger light than the tail lights. Front fog lights are installed slightly lower than the headlights at the front of the car and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather.

What are the best solutions for BMW 523 burning engine oil?

BMW 523 burning engine oil best solutions are as follows: 1. Check whether it is really burning engine oil: In many cases, excessive oil consumption is caused by oil leakage and is mistaken for burning engine oil. You can place a white cloth under the engine, then start the engine, and check for oil leakage based on the oil stains on the white cloth. 2. Check whether carbon deposits in the cylinders cause the piston rings to stick. 3. Replace the valve stem seals: The probability of BMW burning engine oil due to damaged valve stem seals is quite high, and they can be replaced without disassembling the cylinder. Solving the burning engine oil issue by replacing the valve stem seals can be said to be a cost-effective method. 4. Check whether the cylinder walls and pistons are severely worn with excessive clearance: This actually requires an engine overhaul, and the car's value will be greatly reduced after the overhaul.

Can Flood-Damaged Vehicles Be Insured?

Flood-damaged vehicles can be insured. Here are the relevant details: 1. Introduction to flood-damaged vehicles: Flood-damaged vehicles refer to cars that have been submerged in water and are sold through certain channels to used car markets across China. 2. Introduction to partially submerged vehicles: Partially submerged vehicles typically have water levels just above most of the wheel hubs, with the floor mats definitely submerged. However, the water does not reach the engine compartment, leaving the engine and wiring harnesses undamaged. 3. Introduction to fully submerged vehicles: Floodwaters completely submerge the entire vehicle body, including the engine and all interior equipment. Such vehicles are essentially rendered useless and should not be purchased, no matter how new they appear. Not only is the engine likely damaged from water ingress, but the wiring harnesses in the engine compartment have also been soaked, significantly increasing the risk of short circuits and potential self-ignition.
