If over a period of time, shifting gears becomes noticeably more difficult and less smooth than before, and transmission noise significantly increases after exceeding 100 kilometers, then regardless of whether the mileage is 30,000 or 60,000 kilometers, the transmission fluid must be replaced promptly. Below is relevant information: Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, primarily functioning to lubricate and prolong the lifespan of the transmission components. Each transmission has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will vary in terms of torque, speed, weight, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer will specify a particular transmission fluid standard (or grade). Transmission: A transmission is designed to adapt to changes in the vehicle's driving resistance, altering the torque and speed of the drive wheels to enable the car to move forward or backward.

What are the reasons for an LNG-powered vehicle not being able to accelerate?

There are several reasons why an LNG-powered vehicle may struggle to accelerate: 1. Increase the ignition advance angle: The main component of natural gas is methane, which has relatively stable chemical properties. Additionally, the ignition point of natural gas is higher than that of gasoline, and its flame propagation speed is slower. Therefore, even though natural gas has a high combustible component, it cannot be fully burned, leading to decreased power and fuel efficiency. Practical experience shows that increasing the ignition advance angle can help control power loss to a certain extent. Generally, the ignition advance angle should be increased by 12°-17° from the original vehicle setting. 2. Adopt high-energy ignition: Since the ignition point of natural gas is higher than that of gasoline and its flame propagation speed is slower, a stronger spark is needed to speed up flame propagation. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the original ignition coil with a higher-performance one to enhance the vehicle's power performance.

What Causes Oil Leakage in Volkswagen EA211 Engine?

It is caused by the corrosion and aging of oil seals. Here are the specific details: 1. Cause: More than 90% of oil leakage issues are caused by the corrosion and aging of rubber sealing components. Over time, rubber seals lose their plasticizers, causing them to shrink, harden, and lose elasticity. Prolonged aging may even lead to fractures, resulting in oil leakage. 2. Solution: If your car experiences oil leakage, you can use a non-dismantling repair method by applying Marty DS. Its high-efficiency plasticizers can penetrate or be absorbed by the seals, causing them to re-expand and regain elasticity. This compensates for the wear between the shaft and the sealing lip, ensuring a tight fit between the sealing lip and its shaft, thereby resolving the oil leakage issue.

What are the differences between the T-Roc and the Tharu?

Here are the differences between the T-Roc and the Tharu: Body dimensions: The T-Roc measures 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height. The Tharu measures 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height. Powertrain and price: The T-Roc offers a total of eight models with three displacement options, including 1.2TSI, 1.4TSI low-power, and 1.4TSI high-power variants. In comparison, the Tharu has two powertrain combinations—1.4TSI and 2.0TSI—with a total of seven models available. Although some models overlap in the 1.4TSI powertrain, the Tharu has a higher starting price. For consumers seeking cost-effectiveness, the T-Roc is a good choice.

What is the working principle of ABS/TRC?

ABS system, also known as the Anti-lock Braking System, works as follows: During braking, the ABS closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that begins to lock based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened. This ensures the braking state remains at the optimal point, achieving the best braking effect and maximum driving safety. ABS, short for Anti-lock Braking System, functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up. This keeps the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of around 20%), ensuring maximum traction between the wheels and the road. The ABS system mainly consists of four components: wheel speed sensors, the electronic control unit (ECU), the hydraulic unit, and the ABS warning light. The wheel speed sensors detect the motion state of the wheels and generate sinusoidal electronic pulse AC signals. These signals are then processed by a modulator, converted into digital signals, and transmitted to the electronic control unit. The electronic central control unit (ECU) receives input signals from the wheel speed sensors and uses them to calculate the wheel speed, vehicle speed, and slip ratio. Based on the slip ratio, it determines the wheel state and sends control commands to the hydraulic unit. The hydraulic unit adjusts the pressure in the brake lines according to the control commands. The adjustment process includes maintaining pressure, increasing pressure, and reducing pressure. The ABS warning light alerts the driver to any system malfunctions. If the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
