What type of transmission does the Magotan use?

2 Answers

The Magotan model is equipped with a transmission produced by the Volkswagen Group. The Volkswagen Group operates 68 wholly-owned and joint ventures worldwide, covering areas such as automotive R&D, production, sales, logistics, services, auto parts, car leasing, financial services, auto insurance, banking, and IT services. The Magotan uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a dry dual-clutch transmission. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission features seven forward gears and is also known as a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions combine the characteristics of both manual and automatic transmissions, offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. When using the Magotan's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long periods. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, doing so in an automatic transmission vehicle can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Do not shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under heavy load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to transport it while in Neutral (N). Do not use a tow rope or tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.

I've driven the Magotan quite a few times. It usually comes equipped with Volkswagen's DSG dual-clutch transmission, mostly the 7-speed automatic model. The gear shifts are incredibly fast when driving, feeling very responsive and smooth, making it suitable for both city and highway driving. DSG technology is actually quite advanced, more fuel-efficient than old-style AT transmissions, but it has some minor drawbacks like faster clutch wear during frequent gear shifts in traffic jams. I recommend owners change the transmission fluid regularly to avoid overheating issues and maintain optimal performance. For maintenance, it's best to have it checked every 60,000 kilometers—don't skimp on this cost. Overall, the Magotan's transmission choice is excellent, delivering both enjoyable driving and fuel efficiency.

Should You Sun-Dry or Shade-Dry After Film Application?

It is correct to appropriately sun-dry after applying car film. Whether it's a new or used car, sun exposure is necessary after film application. Normally, there will be residual moisture and subsequent bubbles that need to be removed. Here’s an introduction on whether to sun-dry or shade-dry after film application: 1. After applying the film, the car needs some time to dry out the residual moisture. Professional technicians can remove about 80% of the water during the application process, with the rest left to evaporate naturally. If you choose to shade-dry, bubbles may remain, which can interfere with driving visibility in the long run. 2. Sun exposure helps eliminate small bubbles more quickly. After sun exposure, check the results the next day. If there are still issues, remember to contact the service center for further assistance.

What is the service life of new energy vehicle batteries?

The designed lifespan of new energy vehicles is generally six years or even more than ten years. The service life of new energy vehicle batteries is closely related to the driver's daily driving habits. Frequent aggressive driving and improper charging time management will affect the battery's lifespan. Here are three aspects to consider for new energy vehicle maintenance: 1. Avoid direct sunlight: When a new energy vehicle is exposed to direct sunlight, the internal pressure of the battery increases, leading to water loss, reduced battery activity, accelerated aging of the battery plates, and a shortened battery lifespan. 2. Master the correct charging time: During normal driving, if the power meter indicates red or yellow lights, it's time to charge. Generally, the average charging time for new energy vehicle batteries is about 10 hours. Owners need to control the charging time to avoid losses caused by overcharging. If the battery temperature exceeds 65°C during charging, stop the charging process. 3. Regular inspections: If the driving range of a new energy vehicle suddenly drops significantly by more than ten kilometers in a short period during normal operation, it may indicate a problem with one of the batteries, requiring timely inspection.

What does 'hold' mean on a car remote?

The 'hold' button on a car key means long press, and it has two main functions: Function 1: It usually means to press and hold. Some keys have a trunk pattern printed on them, indicating that pressing and holding will open the trunk. This simplifies the process of opening the trunk after unlocking the car door. This function can be used to adjust the interior temperature in advance during winter and summer. For example, in summer, you can set the air conditioning temperature before leaving the car. When you return to drive, you can start the car remotely to lower the interior temperature in advance, so that it won't be too hot when you reach the car door. In winter, you can warm up the car in advance, ensuring the engine temperature is normal when you get in, avoiding idling waits or engine wear due to low temperatures. Function 2: The 'hold' button is not a trunk opening button but a remote engine start button. Within a remote distance, pressing and holding for 2-3 seconds will automatically start the car. When starting the engine remotely, there's no need to worry about car theft because the central locking system remains locked. The remote control range is usually no less than 50 meters, allowing you to start the car remotely from home or work. With an automatic timing function, if the car door lock isn't opened within a certain time, the engine will automatically shut down. Using the 'hold' button to start the car remotely can save the owner a lot of time and enhance the comfort of using the car.

What are the steps to start a manual transmission car?

There are six steps to start a manual transmission car. 1. Fully depress the clutch: After starting the car, press the clutch pedal completely with your left foot to prepare for the half-clutch state. 2. Shift into first gear: Use the palm of your right hand to push the gear lever into first gear as the starting gear. 3. Turn on the left turn signal: Gently press the turn signal lever downward with your left hand to activate the left turn signal, alerting vehicles in front and behind. 4. Sound the horn: Press the horn button in the center of the steering wheel to alert pedestrians in front of the vehicle that you are about to start. 5. Release the handbrake: Press the button in front of the handbrake with your right hand and hold it down, then lift and fully depress the handbrake to release it. 6. Gently lift the clutch: Slowly lift your left foot until the clutch reaches the half-clutch state. The height for the half-clutch position varies depending on the clutch's sensitivity, usually between 30-45 degrees. The car will start to vibrate slightly, indicating that the vehicle has enough power.

What is the Principle of Pure Electric Vehicles?

Pure electric vehicles consist of four main parts: the electric drive control system, the vehicle chassis, the body, and the overall layout of the pure electric vehicle. Part 1: Electric Drive Control System. Based on working principles, it can be divided into three major components: the onboard power supply module, the main electric drive module, and the auxiliary module. (1) Onboard Power Supply Module. The battery not only supplies the electrical energy required for vehicle propulsion but also serves as the power source for various auxiliary devices in the vehicle. The main function of the energy management system is to allocate energy during vehicle operation, coordinate energy management among various functional parts, and maximize the utilization of the limited energy source. The charging controller converts the power grid supply format into the charging requirements of the battery. (2) Main Electric Drive Module. The drive controller functions according to the commands from the central control unit and the motor's speed and current feedback signals to control the motor's speed, driving torque, and rotation direction. The motor in a pure electric vehicle is required to perform both electric and power generation functions. The transmission in a pure electric vehicle transfers the motor's driving torque to the vehicle's drive axle, thereby propelling the vehicle's wheels. (3) Auxiliary Module. The power source supplies the required power for various auxiliary devices in the pure electric vehicle. The steering system is designed to enable the vehicle to turn. The control force applied to the steering wheel is transmitted through the steering gear and linkage to turn the wheels by a certain angle, achieving vehicle steering. Part 2: Vehicle Chassis. The running gear mainly supports and connects various components of the vehicle and bears various loads from inside and outside the vehicle. The steering system is divided into mechanical steering and power steering systems based on the energy source, with the mechanical steering system being identical to that of traditional vehicles. The braking system: For pure electric vehicles, regenerative braking using the motor can recover energy, and electromagnetic braking can be achieved using electromagnetic attraction. Therefore, with technological advancements, the braking system will undergo significant changes. Parts 3 and 4: Body and Overall Layout of Pure Electric Vehicles. Given the limited energy of pure electric vehicles, the body design should minimize the frontal area to reduce air resistance, and lightweight, high-strength materials should be used to reduce the vehicle's weight.

Which vehicles do not use asphalt damping sheets?

Vehicles that do not use asphalt damping sheets include Volvo. Below is an introduction to asphalt damping sheets: Asphalt damping sheets refer to damping sheets that use asphalt as the raw material. Asphalt damping sheets are attached to the inner surface of the car body as a viscoelastic material, closely adhering to the steel plate walls of the car body, primarily to reduce noise and vibration, i.e., to provide a damping effect. All passenger cars are equipped with damping sheets. Asphalt damping sheets are mainly divided into hot-melt asphalt damping sheets, self-adhesive asphalt damping sheets, and magnetic asphalt damping sheets. The main types used in vehicles are hot-melt and magnetic asphalt damping sheets. Below is an introduction to the three types of asphalt damping sheets: 1. In terms of production processes, these three types of asphalt damping sheets are similar. The difference is that self-adhesive and magnetic types require one more process step than the hot-melt type. Hot-melt asphalt damping sheets are heated and attached to the product during later application, while self-adhesive and magnetic asphalt damping sheets have an adhesive layer or magnetic properties added during the production process. 2. In terms of environmental protection, polyolefin polymer materials have passed the EU ROHS test, indicating that the substance is harmless to the human body. In accelerated thermal aging tests, the performance of asphalt damping sheets sharply declines after 150 hours, and heating accelerates the release of harmful substances.
