The transmission oil filler port on the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 is located on the side of the bottom of the transmission. The transmission is a very important component of the vehicle, which can change the gear ratio and expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels. In terms of power, the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 offers models with a 1.6L inline four-cylinder engine and a 1.2T inline three-cylinder engine. The 1.6L model has a maximum power of 86kw; the 1.2T engine has been introduced for the first time in the low-power tuned version of the 190THP model, with a maximum power of 85kw. In terms of body size, the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 measures 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height.

This is a fairly common question. On the Dongfeng Peugeot 308, the transmission oil filler port is usually located in the engine compartment, on the upper left side of the transmission housing. I've done this operation a few times myself—it's specifically on the driver's side, covered by a metal plug. You'll need to remove the air filter box to see it. When performing this task, it's best to park the car securely and wait for the engine to cool down to avoid burns. During routine maintenance, remember to regularly check the oil level using the dipstick to ensure it's within the normal range, as low oil levels can accelerate transmission wear. Don't overlook this detail—it helps the car run smoother and extends its lifespan. If you're unsure, consulting the owner's manual is the most reliable approach, as it includes diagrams marking the exact location.

Is it better to use 92 or 95 octane gasoline for the Honda Avancier?

It is better to use 95 octane gasoline for the Honda Avancier. Here are some introductions about the Honda Avancier: 1. The Earth Dreams engine of the Avancier is designed with a minimum applicable gasoline octane rating of 92. This means that using gasoline below 92 octane will cause engine knocking, while using 92 octane may occasionally cause knocking, and using 95 octane will definitely not cause knocking. Of course, the probability of occasional knocking is very low, with 0 to 2 occurrences in 500 ignition cycles at 1000 RPM, so the damage to the engine is minimal. 2. If 98 octane gasoline is used, it may lead to incomplete combustion of the gasoline. Besides wasting the energy in the fuel, it will also accelerate the formation of carbon deposits.

Why is the left side too wide when reversing into the right parking spot in Subject 2?

If the left side is too wide when reversing into the right parking spot, it is because the steering wheel was turned too early. To correct this, turn the steering wheel to the right, following the principle of "steering toward the wider side." Shift into first gear, straighten the car, and drive straight out of the parking spot. When the front hood of the car just covers the opposite boundary line, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Once the car body is parallel to the left exit line, continue moving forward until the front of the car tilts to the left and crosses the left sensor line. Then, press the brake to stop. Throughout this process, the steering wheel should remain fully turned to the left. After stopping, switch the steering wheel grip from your right hand to your left hand, and shift from first gear to reverse gear with your right hand. After shifting, switch the grip back to your right hand and begin reversing. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking spot, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may also include a sixth item, such as highway toll card collection. The specific test content for Subject 2 is defined in Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123). The test content includes: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making U-turns on narrow roads, and simulations of highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for disabled passengers, and low-speed trucks: reversing into a parking spot, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. For three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, and crossing a single-plank bridge. For wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams, the test content is determined by the provincial traffic management authorities of the public security department. For the vehicle types specified in the first and second items of the first paragraph, provincial traffic management authorities may add additional test content based on actual conditions.

What to do when the car jerks while reversing?

The solutions for a car jerking while reversing are: check ignition issues, oil pressure problems, replace the gasoline filter and spark plugs. Spark plugs are crucial components of a gasoline engine's ignition system, which introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and create a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. Gasoline filters can be categorized into carburetor type and fuel injection type. For gasoline engines using a carburetor, the gasoline filter is located on the inlet side of the fuel pump, operating under lower pressure and typically housed in a nylon casing. In fuel injection engines, the gasoline filter is positioned on the outlet side of the fuel pump, operating under higher pressure and usually encased in a metal shell.

What Causes Severe Idle Vibration in Camry Without Fault Codes?

Camry without fault codes but experiencing severe idle vibration may have the following causes: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of car vibration is excessively dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by cold start injectors gets largely absorbed by the carbon deposits. 2. Engine misfire: This mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly, manifested as: intermittent exhaust gas flow with noticeable pauses, severe exhaust pipe vibration, clearly perceptible engine shaking, sometimes accompanied by "popping" sounds. This condition is often related to ignition coil failures.

When did China 5 emission standard come into effect?

China 5, the fifth-stage national vehicle emission standard, was implemented nationwide from January 1, 2017. Here are details about China 5: 1. Emission control level of China 5 standard: It is equivalent to the fifth-stage emission standard implemented in Europe. The European Union has been enforcing it since 2009, imposing stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to the China 4 standard. 2. Comparison between China 5 and China 4 standards: In comparison, harmful gas emissions like nitrogen oxides from heavy-duty vehicles have been reduced by 43%, while emissions from light-duty vehicles under the new standard have been reduced by 25%. This not only significantly improves the environment but also benefits everyone's health.
