Here are the reasons why you can't always shift into reverse gear when practicing driving: 1. Not fully engaged in gear: The gear is not fully engaged and remains in neutral; reverse gear generally doesn't have a synchronizer. Although most gear shifts can be meshed through the gear's cutting angle, there are times when two gears clash and can't engage. In this case, simply lift the clutch slightly to let the input shaft rotate and realign the gears. 2. Handbrake not released: The handbrake is not released, and the car remains in manual braking mode, so it won't move. 3. Clutch not released: The clutch is not released and remains disengaged, so no power is being transmitted. 4. Transmission: The synchronizer in the transmission is stuck, or there are other issues. In this case, professional repair is needed.

What does it mean when the car's warning light comes on?

The reasons for the car's warning light coming on are: 1. Poor engine combustion state; 2. Use of low-quality fuel; 3. Carbon deposits in the engine cylinders. To ensure the car engine operates in good condition and maintains a normal service life, an oxygen sensor is installed in the engine during design to monitor the combustion state. If the engine's combustion state is poor, it will increase fuel consumption and wear, and also pollute the environment. The car engine has certain requirements for fuel quality, and nowadays, the requirements for fuel quality are increasingly higher. If the fuel added is of poor quality, the engine warning light will come on. As the operating time increases, carbon deposits will form inside the engine. These carbon deposits can cause changes in the engine's design parameters, making the engine unstable and accumulating heat. This heat can lead to irregular ignition in the engine, resulting in engine knocking.

Why does the car suddenly fail to start?

The reasons why the car suddenly fails to start: 1. The car is out of fuel; 2. The crankshaft position sensor is faulty. If the car has very little fuel, or the fuel gauge shows that it is below the red line, it naturally won't start. The crankshaft position sensor is a sensor shared by the ignition system and the fuel injection system. If the crankshaft position sensor fails, the computer cannot detect the speed signal and cannot determine whether you are trying to start the engine, so it won't start. You can check if the starter has any faults. If the starter is spinning at high speed but the engine doesn't respond, the problem may lie with the starter. If the starter doesn't move, it could be an issue with the wiring, such as a burned-out power supply line from the battery or a damaged starter relay.

What does wet dual-clutch mean?

Wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission oil. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil. Dual-clutch transmission is a relatively common type of automatic transmission, developed based on manual transmission. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the main difference being an additional set of clutch plates and a gear-shift control mechanism. One set of clutch plates controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears.

What Are the Causes of Abnormal Engine Oil Consumption?

Reasons for abnormal engine oil consumption: 1. Oil leakage in the oil circuit; 2. Damage to the crankshaft oil seal; 3. Excessive oil pressure leading to seal gasket failure; 4. Rupture of sealing rings; 5. Excessive wear of the valve guide; 6. Breakage of the valve guide. If the valve guide breaks, oil will enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the valve stem and the valve guide, participating in combustion. Failure of the crankcase ventilation valve causes oil to enter the combustion chamber along with the gases in the crankcase. Blockage of the crankcase ventilation port increases the pressure inside the crankcase, leading to a higher amount of oil entering, which is also one of the factors for excessive oil consumption. When the engine operates at high speeds, the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder walls increases due to inertia, and the effectiveness of the oil ring in controlling oil decreases during high-speed sliding, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber.
