I've been researching the transmission of the Volkswagen Lavida recently and found that it mainly uses the DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is very common in many new models, such as the 1.5T engine paired with a 7-speed DSG, offering fast gear shifts and fuel efficiency. There's also a manual version available, equipped with a traditional 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission. In actual driving, the DSG responds quickly, ensuring smooth performance in city traffic jams and enhancing driving comfort. However, during extremely hot weather, attention should be paid to cooling to avoid affecting its lifespan. Overall, Volkswagen has adhered to this system for decades, balancing performance and efficiency, making it highly recommendable. Just remember to adhere to the oil change schedule during maintenance and don't delay it too long.

What Does On-the-Road Price Mean?

On-the-road price refers to the total cost of purchasing a car and all the necessary legal procedures to drive it on the road (if it's a loan, the interest is calculated separately). The on-the-road price of a car is the sum of the purchase price, vehicle purchase tax, insurance, license plate fees, and other expenses. Below are the relevant details: 1. Calculation method: The calculation method for the new vehicle purchase tax is: (naked car price ÷ 1.17) × 10% (the current vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%). Note: The taxable price for taxpayers purchasing self-use taxable vehicles does not include value-added tax (VAT) (starting from May 1, 2018, the VAT rate for manufacturing, automobiles, and other industries was reduced from 17% to 16%, and the VAT rate for transportation, construction, basic telecommunications services, and agricultural products was reduced from 11% to 10%). 2. VAT: Since the purchase price in the special invoice for motor vehicle sales includes VAT, when calculating the vehicle purchase tax, the 17% VAT must first be deducted, i.e., the taxable price for vehicle purchase tax = invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a 10% rate.

What are the symptoms of a blown engine head gasket?

When an engine head gasket blows, the following symptoms may occur: 1. Overheating: The main symptoms include weakened acceleration, a sputtering sound during acceleration when a cylinder is misfiring, a small amount of water being expelled from the exhaust pipe, white smoke emission, and if there is an oily liquid in the radiator, it indicates a coolant passage leak, while water in the engine oil indicates an oil passage leak. 2. Gas leakage: High-pressure and high-temperature gases may escape through the head gasket, leading to reduced engine power, stalling, or inability to operate at high speeds or under full load. 3. Oil leakage: Engine oil may leak from the head gasket, causing excessive oil consumption in the oil pan and potentially leading to engine issues such as crankshaft burning. 4. Coolant leakage: Coolant may leak from the head gasket, resulting in significant coolant loss, which can cause engine dry burning and cylinder deformation. 5. Coolant entering the oil pan: Significant coolant loss and emulsification of engine oil may occur, leading to crankshaft burning and engine dry burning, causing cylinder deformation. 6. Gas entering the oil pan: This can cause the breather to leak gas, resulting in poor lubrication of engine components such as the camshaft and rocker arms, and reduced engine power. 7. Gas entering the coolant system: This can cause the radiator to leak gas, leading to reduced engine power, poor cooling, and cylinder deformation.

Why does the Besturn B50 make a buzzing sound when turning the steering wheel?

Besturn B50 makes a buzzing sound when turning the steering wheel for the following reasons: Engine abnormal noise: Symptom description: There are many possibilities for abnormal noise in the engine compartment. Most people judge the source of the noise as coming from the engine compartment, usually a sharp metallic sound or a wind-like noise. Solution: Engine abnormal noise indicates that the technical state of a certain mechanism in the engine has changed. It is mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Some abnormal noises can even predict potential catastrophic damage to the engine. Therefore, when abnormal noise occurs in the engine, it should be repaired in time to prevent the fault from expanding. It should be reminded that if the abnormal noise comes from inside the engine, most car owners cannot solve it by themselves, and it is best to send it to a factory for inspection and repair. Transmission abnormal noise: Symptom description: If there is a "rustling" sound inside the transmission while driving, and the sound disappears when the clutch or accelerator is pressed, and there is a sound similar to whistling when shifting gears. Solution: The transmission has many parts, and the causes of abnormal noise are also relatively complex. When analyzing and judging, pay attention to: whether it is related to a specific speed, such as some planetary gears making noise that is more obvious at around 50Km/h. Whether it is related to certain gears, which is very important for judging transmission faults. If a certain gear makes noise, it must be related to the parts that affect the transmission of that gear; if all gears make noise, it is often a fault of the constant-mesh gear shaft or insufficient transmission oil. Whether it is related to specific actions, such as shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, turning, etc., are all effective means to judge abnormal noise. Among them, changing speed and direction are particularly important for judging rear axle faults. If the transmission abnormal noise is obvious, it is recommended to send it to a professional repair shop to check the faulty parts and then replace them. Wear abnormal noise: Symptom description: When stepping on the accelerator or brake while driving, there are always some abnormal noises from certain parts of the body. The sound is not loud and does not affect normal driving, but it always makes people worry about where the fault is.

How Many Years of Use Qualify a Car as Scrap?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no mandatory scrapping age. However, when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping age of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping age of 10 years. Vehicle scrapping process: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out one copy of the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. Apply at the registration acceptance counter, where a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, the vehicle inspection counter will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The vehicle owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrap Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations.
