Models equipped with wet dual-clutch transmissions include the Touareg, Teramont, Tiguan L, Phideon, Passat (high-end trim), Lamando (high-end trim), Magotan (high-end trim), Golf GTI, Volkswagen CC, and T-Roc (high-end trim). It's not hard to notice that wet dual-clutch transmissions are primarily featured in high-end or premium-positioned models. Here's an introduction to wet dual-clutch transmissions: 1. A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch system consisting of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, mounted coaxially. 2. The dual-clutch is housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid, which gives the wet clutch structure better modulation capabilities and superior thermal tolerance.

I've driven quite a few cars with wet dual-clutch transmissions, and they feel very practical. Volkswagen Group uses them extensively, like in the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Passat, Audi A3, and Q5 series—all equipped with wet DSG gearboxes, offering fast shifting speeds and smooth performance both in city driving and on highways. Porsche mostly uses wet PDK transmissions, such as in the 911 or 718 Boxster, delivering strong track performance with instantaneous gear shifts. The advantage of wet designs is oil-cooled heat dissipation, making them less prone to overheating in traffic and much more durable than dry versions. I also tried the Hyundai Sonata N Line, whose wet 8-speed dual-clutch is very smooth, fuel-efficient, and easy to drive. Ford used wet versions in some of its past models too. These brands cover a wide range, from economy to luxury, so choosing depends on personal budget and driving preferences.

Can the Audi S gear be used frequently?

Audi S gear can be used frequently, but it is not very economical. Here are some related introductions about the S gear: 1. The function of S gear: In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting time will be delayed, keeping the engine at high speed for a longer time, allowing the car to travel at low gear and high speed for a longer time, thereby obtaining greater torque output and acceleration. 2. The use of the lock button: To shift from D gear to S gear, you need to press the lock button on the gear lever; but to shift back from S gear to D gear, you can directly shift back without pressing the lock button.

How to Deal with a Cut in the Tire?

When a car tire is cracked, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Here is some relevant information: 1. The car tire is the only component among all car parts that comes into contact with the ground, so it affects the driving stability and safety of the car. No minor issue should be overlooked. 2. The tire is mounted on a metal rim and can support the weight of the car body. It can withstand various deformation loads and the effects of high and low temperatures, offering strong load-bearing capacity, cushioning performance, high wear resistance, and low rolling resistance. It ensures driving safety and provides security for the car's operation.

What do T and L mean in cars?

L stands for naturally aspirated, while T stands for turbocharged. The comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of T and L is as follows: 1. A turbocharged engine is essentially a naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing its output power and torque. Taking the most common 1.8T turbocharged engine as an example, after turbocharging, its power can reach the level of a 2.4L engine. 2. Although turbocharged engines are more fuel-efficient and produce lower levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulates in emissions, their lifespan is shorter compared to naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement. 3. Naturally aspirated engines deliver more linear and smoother power output.

What are the impacts of Mercedes-Benz lacking chips?

It will result in low production capacity. The following are the reasons for the shortage of automotive chip supply: Impact of the pandemic: In recent years, the global chip industry's investment in production capacity has been relatively conservative, and the imbalance between supply and demand had already manifested before the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has exacerbated the caution in capacity investment. Impact of 5G: Driven by the development of 5G technology, the demand for chips in the consumer electronics sector has been rapidly increasing this year, challenging chip production capacity and occupying part of the automotive chip production capacity. Moreover, this trend may further intensify in 2021, while many manufacturers in the chip sector are reducing necessary capital expenditures in the automotive industry, raising prices, and lowering production quotas for automotive chips.
