The Peugeot 408 is equipped with three types of transmissions: a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT), and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is currently a popular choice, developed based on the manual transmission. Its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the addition of an extra clutch and a shift control mechanism. The Peugeot 408 also features three engine options: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine.

From a repair perspective, the Peugeot 408 in the 2024 model commonly uses Aisin's 6-speed automatic transmission, abbreviated as 6AT, paired with a 1.6T engine. This combination ensures smooth gear shifts and reduces jerking during driving, making it particularly suitable for congested urban roads. Compared to earlier older models, Peugeot has upgraded the technology, and this 6AT offers better fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption controlled at around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. I have encountered many of these cars in my work, and the transmission is highly reliable. As long as regular maintenance is performed, such as changing the transmission oil every 40,000 kilometers, many issues like abnormal noises or oil leaks can be avoided. Peugeot's choice of Aisin is a smart decision, enhancing overall performance and safety. If you are concerned about durability, it is recommended to check the factory warranty when purchasing a new car.

How to Add Refrigeration Oil to Car Air Conditioning?

There are two methods for adding refrigeration oil: 1. Direct Pouring Method: Simply pour the refrigeration oil directly into the compressor through the plug opening. 2. Vacuum Suction Method: (1) Evacuation: Use a specialized vacuum tool to extract the air from inside the air conditioning system. (2) Negative Pressure Suction: After the air inside the air conditioning system is extracted, use negative pressure to suck the refrigeration oil into the compressor through a yellow hose. (3) Add Refrigerant: Once the refrigeration oil is completely sucked into the compressor, the addition of refrigeration oil is complete. Then, directly add the refrigerant. Refrigeration oil, also known as compressor oil, is used to lubricate the moving parts inside the refrigeration compressor. In the compressor, refrigeration oil primarily serves four functions: lubrication, sealing, cooling, and energy regulation.

What Causes the Engine Fault Light to Flash and the Car Body to Shake?

The poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine and abnormal fuel supply pressure can cause the engine fault light to illuminate and the car to shake. The details are as follows: 1. When the engine fault light comes on and the vehicle starts to shake, you need to stop immediately and call for a tow truck to wait for rescue. The causes of this phenomenon include: poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine. When the mixture in the cylinder is too rich, the vehicle will experience symptoms such as knocking and shaking. When the mixture is too lean, the vehicle will exhibit poor acceleration. 2. Abnormal fuel supply pressure and faults in the intake pressure sensor can also cause this. Irregular fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can lead to car body shaking and insufficient power. Faults in the working conditions of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils, as well as poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing, can also result in the engine fault light illuminating, car shaking, and insufficient power.

What does 'several locks' mean in off-road vehicles?

An off-road vehicle typically has three locks, which refer to the central differential lock, rear differential lock, and front differential lock. The details are as follows: 1. Central differential lock: It ensures the front and rear wheels rotate at the same speed when wheel slippage occurs, but this is only effective in mild road conditions. It has limited use in scenarios like cross-axles or artillery shell craters. 2. Rear differential lock: It synchronizes the rotation speed of the rear wheels with the front axle. This is particularly useful when the off-road vehicle encounters cross-axles or artillery shell craters, where one wheel may lose traction while the other is suspended in the air. With this lock engaged, the vehicle can still move forward with sufficient power, earning it the reputation as the soul of an off-road vehicle. 3. Front differential lock: When one side of the vehicle is suspended in the air, the front differential lock ensures all wheels receive equal power distribution. This feature is often referred to as the life-saving component of an off-road vehicle.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Braking in a Car?

Car braking with abnormal noise can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive wear of brake discs and brake pads. Both brake discs and brake pads are high-wear components that experience friction every time the brakes are applied. Over time, they naturally wear out, and when excessively worn, abnormal noises can occur. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs should be replaced every 100,000-120,000 kilometers. 2. Improper installation of brake pads. If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match, abnormal noises may also occur. In such cases, the brake pads should be reinstalled. It is advisable to have this done at a professional auto repair shop. 3. Normal activation of ABS. The ABS system operates by repeatedly engaging and disengaging the brakes, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lockup. When the brakes are applied sharply, causing the ABS to activate, a clicking sound may occur, which is a normal phenomenon.
