The New Bora's transmission is manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and production of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the top global market share in this sector. The New Bora is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The automatic manual transmission essentially combines the traditional AT or CVT transmission with manual shifting capabilities, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. When using the New Bora's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back to D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this severely damages the transmission gears and can lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. Automatic vehicles can overheat under high loads or struggle due to premature upshifting. Use manual mode to maintain lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N gear rather than towing it directly with a rope.

The transmission configuration of the new Bora is quite interesting. As someone who enjoys driving various car models, I've personally experienced it. Volkswagen's new Bora currently offers a manual transmission and a dual-clutch automatic transmission, commonly known as DSG. The manual transmission is a 6-speed, suitable for drivers who enjoy a sense of control, offering flexible and fun gear shifts. The automatic transmission is a 7-speed DSG, which is particularly smooth in daily driving, with fast gear changes and fuel efficiency. I could feel that silky smooth experience when driving on the highway. Compared to other cars in its class, the new Bora's transmission reliability is good, but it's worth noting that the DSG might experience slight overheating if stuck in traffic for long periods, so regular maintenance is crucial. Additionally, the manual version is cheaper, with a price difference of around 20,000 yuan. Which one to choose depends on personal preference and driving habits. Overall, it's a practical and cost-effective choice.

Is Modifying Air Suspension Considered Illegal Vehicle Modification?

Modifying air suspension is considered illegal vehicle modification. The new 'Road Traffic Safety Law' explicitly stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization. Vehicle modifications must comply with relevant laws and regulations. Below is detailed information about vehicle modifications: Overview: Vehicle modification (Car-modification) refers to altering the external appearance, interior styling, and mechanical performance of a manufacturer's original vehicle according to the owner's needs, mainly including body modifications and powertrain modifications. Precautions: Certain critical areas must be carefully considered during vehicle modifications. When modifying a vehicle, it is important to avoid installing excessively large spoilers, enlarging the wheel hubs, or disregarding safety devices such as bumpers.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Vision X6?

Under unloaded conditions, the ground clearance on both sides of the Vision X6 is approximately 30CM. The minimum ground clearance is at the factory-installed plastic guard under the engine, measuring about 17.7CM. Below is some relevant information about the Vision X6: 1. The Vision X6 is the same as the Vision SUV, just different names for the same vehicle. The Vision SUV is the final name given at launch, while names like Vision X6 and Vision GX7 were provisional. 2. Many people assume the minimum ground clearance is at the exhaust pipe, but it is actually at the factory-installed plastic guard under the engine. The minimum ground clearance determines the vehicle's passability. It refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the vehicle and the level ground. 3. There are three powertrain options: a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with the high-power version paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 104KW and maximum torque of 235N-m; the low-power version is paired with a CVT transmission, producing a maximum power of 98KW and maximum torque of 215N-m. There is also a 1.8L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 98KW and maximum torque of 170N-m.

Does the Air Filter Affect Fuel Consumption?

Engine air filters can affect fuel consumption because the formation of the air-fuel mixture in a vehicle depends on the amount of air intake. If the air filter is too dirty, it can reduce the air intake, so it is necessary to replace the engine air filter regularly. Air Filter: The car air filter is primarily responsible for removing particulate impurities from the air. When piston machinery (such as internal combustion engines, reciprocating compressors, etc.) operates, inhaling air containing dust and other impurities can accelerate component wear, so an air filter must be installed. Components: The air filter consists of two parts: the filter element and the housing. The main requirements for an air filter are high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and the ability to operate continuously for extended periods without maintenance.

What does air suspension mean?

Air suspension is a configuration that enhances the comfort of motor vehicles. Air suspension: Air suspension is a configuration that enhances the comfort of motor vehicles. The vehicle's computer detects changes in the vehicle's body height and adjusts the air compressor and exhaust valves accordingly, either lowering or raising the vehicle's chassis height to ensure its passability and stability. Three states: The air suspension equipped in motor vehicles primarily increases stability during driving and improves passability on complex road conditions. During normal use, the air suspension operates in three states: the first is the holding state, the second is the normal state, and the third is the wake-up state.

Why is the air conditioning engine making loud noises?

If the sound is not particularly loud, it is a normal phenomenon. Here is an introduction to the relevant content: Specific reasons: Turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load, and the fan operates at high speed, so the sound will be louder. Especially when idling during cooling, the engine automatically increases fuel injection to enhance power and drive the compressor, which can make the engine noise more noticeable. Abnormal noise from the air conditioning pump: Any issue with the electromagnetic clutch or the bearings inside the air conditioning pump can cause abnormal noise. The noise from the electromagnetic clutch is mainly due to wear, leading to increased gaps, while the noise from the air conditioning pump bearings is primarily caused by a lack of lubrication.

Will Water Entering the Air Filter Cause Water to Enter the Engine?

Water entering the air filter indicates the possibility of water entering the engine. In such a situation, the engine should be turned off to prevent water from entering and causing hydraulic lock. Energy Conversion: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Device: An engine can refer to both a power-generating device and the entire machine including the power device (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine was first invented in the UK, so the concept of the engine also originates from English, with its original meaning referring to "a mechanical device that generates power."
