Hydraulic transmission fluid, also known as Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) or automatic transmission oil, is primarily used in vehicle automatic transmissions composed of torque converters, hydraulic couplings, and mechanical transmissions. It serves as a working medium to transmit energy through the kinetic energy of the fluid. The performance requirements for hydraulic transmission fluid are as follows: Viscosity: For typical hydraulic transmission fluids, the operating temperature range is approximately -25°C to 170°C, requiring the fluid to have a high viscosity index and low pour point. General specifications stipulate a viscosity index above 170, a pour point of -40°C, and for synthetic oils, 190°C and -50°C. Thermal Oxidation Stability: During vehicle operation, the temperature of hydraulic transmission fluid varies depending on driving conditions. Elevated temperatures can lead to oxidation, forming sludge and varnish deposits, which can disrupt the hydraulic system's operation, degrade lubrication performance, and cause metal corrosion. Shear Stability: When hydraulic transmission fluid transmits power in a torque converter, it is subjected to intense shear forces. These forces can break down high-molecular compounds like viscosity index improvers in the fluid, reducing viscosity and oil pressure, ultimately leading to clutch slippage.

How many liters of antifreeze does the Lamando require?

The Lamando requires 2 liters of antifreeze. The antifreeze reservoir has both a MAX (maximum level) and MIN (minimum level) marking. The antifreeze should be filled to a level between the MAX and MIN marks. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which means it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are 4615mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2656mm. The 2021 Lamando is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 225Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What are the reasons why the car radio cannot play?

Here are the reasons why the car radio cannot play: 1. Audio output line: The speaker wire is broken, which is in the form of a connector. 2. Button error: The mute button of the radio was pressed. 3. Open circuit: The radio fuse is blown, and the circuit is open. Here is some extended information: 1. Development history: Car audio is a radio and playback device set up to relieve the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. The earliest one used was the car AM radio, followed by the AM/FM radio, tape player, and developed to CD player and compatible DCC, DAT digital audio. 2. Advantages: Nowadays, car audio has reached a high standard in terms of sound quality, operation, and anti-vibration, etc., and can cope with the bumps of the car on rough roads, ensuring stable performance and perfect sound quality.

What does 150 horsepower mean for a car?

150 horsepower is equivalent to 110KW of power. Horsepower is the unit name for calculating metric horsepower. 1 horsepower is the work done to complete 75 kilogram-force/meter in 1 second. 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force/meter = 735.49875 watts (1Ps=735.49875w). Horses are counted in "heads", so "horsepower" can also be replaced by "head", that is, 1 head = 1 horsepower. Relevant information about fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Testing method: The test can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer, and then the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is obtained through the "flow meter method" or "carbon balance method".

How to Fix Wipers That Won't Wipe?

Methods to repair wipers that won't wipe: 1. Open the hood and check if the transmission linkage is dislocated; 2. Inspect whether the fuse is intact; 3. Disconnect the motor wire plug, turn on the power, and use a multimeter to measure if there is voltage; 4. If the fuse is intact but the motor has no voltage, check the wiring and the combination switch for the turn signals; 5. A burnt motor will have a scorched smell; 6. If normal voltage is measured at the wiper motor when the power is turned on, consider that the motor may be damaged. Steps to remove the wiper: 1. Lift the wiper arm off the vehicle's windshield; 2. Keep the wiper perpendicular to the windshield and steady; 3. Locate the plug at the contact position between the wiper rubber blade and the metal arm; 4. Press the plug to remove the old wiper.

How to reset the maintenance reminder on the New Bora?

Method to reset the maintenance reminder on the New Bora: First, turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the button on the right, then turn on the ignition switch. At this point, the driver will see a small wrench indicator light on the instrument panel, and pressing the left button will reset it. To ensure the normal operation of the vehicle, manufacturers have set up some reminder indicator lights during production. Once the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, owners should promptly replace the necessary parts. The New Bora is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. In terms of body dimensions, the New Bora measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, 1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.

Does the Electronic Parking Brake Light Stay On After Turning Off the Engine?

After turning off the engine, the electronic parking brake light may stay on for a while. This is due to the car's delayed power-off function. After a certain period, the electronic parking brake light will automatically turn off, which is a normal phenomenon. Most cars have this delayed power-off feature. For example, after the engine is turned off, the headlights may remain on for about 30 seconds to illuminate the road ahead, making it more convenient for the car owner. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
