Regarding the question of whether dry or wet is better, currently, dry DCTs are indeed more prone to failure than wet ones, mainly due to heat dissipation issues, so relatively speaking, wet DCTs are better. The advantages of each are as follows: 1. Advantages of dry DCT: faster shifting, better transmission efficiency, and higher cost performance. (Representative dry dual-clutch transmissions include Volkswagen's DQ200; Ford, Buick, and some domestic models' DCT250; Hyundai and Kia's D7UF1.) 2. Advantages of wet DCT: higher torque capacity, better heat dissipation, and lower failure rate. (Most dual-clutch models priced above 200,000 yuan on the market are basically wet type.)

What to Do If Water Enters the Car Exhaust Pipe?

If water enters the car's exhaust pipe, you can take it to a 4S shop for a simple cleaning and drying process. This will allow the engine to function normally again, and the repair cost is relatively low. If the water exposure is shallow and not severe, you can also inspect the electronic systems and check for any accumulated water under the car body yourself. If you must start the engine, first remove the spark plugs to drain some of the water from the engine before reinstalling them and attempting to start the engine again. Below is relevant information about driving through water: 1. Introduction to Driving Through Water: Driving through water, as the name suggests, refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying or waterlogged roads, passing through water. This typically occurs during rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. 2. Precautions for Driving Through Water: Before entering water, observe the road conditions carefully. While in the water, maintain steady power. After exiting the water, check the electrical systems. If the car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once the car stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, immediately tow the car to a 4S shop and let professionals handle the situation.

Why Can't the Fuel Be Pumped Out of the Car's Fuel Tank?

The reason why the fuel cannot be pumped out of the car's fuel tank is that the tank is empty. Precautions for refueling include: 1. Choose to refuel when the temperature is relatively low; 2. If the car is not used for a long time or used infrequently, maintain a small amount of fuel; 3. Do not refuel when the fuel tanker is unloading; 4. Turn off the engine when refueling a gasoline vehicle; 5. Do not mix gasoline of different grades. Long-term mixing of different grades of gasoline will affect the service life of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. The components of the fuel tank include: the fuel tank cap, partition, fuel gauge sensor, fuel inlet and return pipes, fuel filler neck, and vent. The function of the fuel tank is to store the working fluid required by the hydraulic system and also has the functions of heat dissipation, sediment removal, and separation of air bubbles in the liquid.

How to Use the 2021 Levin Electronic Parking Brake?

2021 Levin electronic parking brake usage method: 1. With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, pull the electronic parking brake button upward to activate it; 2. With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, press the electronic parking brake button downward to deactivate it. The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking, and achieves parking brake control electronically. The electronic parking brake technology electronically controls parking braking, operating on the same principle as mechanical handbrakes—both utilize friction between brake discs and pads to achieve parking control, with the difference being the control mechanism changing from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
