BYD Song Max recalled and replaced the transmission due to issues with the gearbox. The advantages of the Song Max's transmission and dual-clutch transmission are as follows: Song Max's transmission: This vehicle is equipped with two types of transmissions: one is a 6-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The BYD Song Max series uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the dual-clutch transmission is the most suitable to pair with a turbocharged engine. Advantages of the dual-clutch transmission: The dual-clutch transmission has high transmission efficiency and fast gear shifting. The dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission, and its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission. The only difference is that the dual-clutch transmission has an additional set of clutches and a gear-shifting control mechanism. The dual-clutch transmission is connected to the engine via clutch plates, which is why it has high transmission efficiency.

I recently followed the recall news about the BYD Song MAX. The recall for this model's transmission was mainly due to potential risks with the dual-clutch module. Inside the transmission, there is a hydraulic control unit, and the manufacturer discovered defects in the sealing ring material, which could lead to oil leakage over prolonged use. Once transmission oil leaks, the clutch plates will experience abnormal wear, with the most noticeable symptom being strong jerking during low-speed gear shifts, and in severe cases, even power interruption. I recall the announcement mentioned that affected batches were concentrated in models produced between 2020 and 2021. Although the replacement can resolve the safety hazard, many owners have reported long waiting times for parts. This recall actually serves as a reminder that the cooling and sealing design of dual-clutch transmissions is particularly critical.

How many points are deducted for incorrect lighting in Subject 3?

Incorrect lighting in Subject 3 results in a deduction of 100 points. The simulated lighting test is a crucial part of the examination. During the simulated lighting test, candidates must complete the specified operation within 5 seconds after the voice announcement. When driving at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions, the operation is: turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. Please switch the headlights to high beam, the operation is: switch to high beam or keep the headlights in high beam mode. When following another vehicle closely at night in the same direction, the operation is: switch from high beam to low beam. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signals at night, the operation is: alternately use high and low beams to signal. When meeting another motor vehicle, the operation is: switch from high beam to low beam. When driving in foggy conditions, the operation is: turn on the fog lights and hazard warning lights. In case of a breakdown or traffic accident at night that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move, the operation is: turn on the hazard warning lights, along with the position lights and rear lights. When overtaking a vehicle ahead at night, the operation is: use the left turn signal and alternately switch between high and low beams.

How Often Should a Car Water Pump Be Replaced?

There is no fixed mileage requirement for replacing a car water pump; it is generally replaced only when damaged. Below is more relevant information: Car Water Pump: The car water pump is a crucial component of the engine. It continuously pumps coolant to the engine to prevent overheating. If the water pump fails, the engine will not be able to dissipate heat, causing its temperature to rise continuously. Eventually, the engine may overheat and sustain damage. Therefore, a faulty water pump should be replaced promptly. Typically, a comprehensive maintenance check is recommended at around 60,000 kilometers, making it an ideal time to inspect the water pump. Of course, this inspection should also include replacing the belt, tensioner, engine oil, oil filter, and coolant. Regular checks of the water pump during routine use are essential, as the water pump is the heart of the cooling system. Insufficient circulation capacity can directly impact vehicle performance. The car water pump is connected to the belt to draw coolant from the radiator and circulate it to cool the engine. If the water pump's rotation is compromised, it may lead to unstable vehicle speed. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect the alignment of all pulleys, as well as the tightness and wear of the belt.

What are the reasons for an EFI motorcycle failing to start?

Reasons for an EFI motorcycle failing to start: insufficient fuel or battery power, issues with the electronic control system, oil leakage or carbon buildup in the spark plug. An EFI motorcycle is a new type of motorcycle that uses a microcomputer to control the fuel injector to supply fuel to the cylinders that need to work based on the engine's load. Insufficient fuel or battery power: Owners can check the fuel gauge or battery warning light to understand the status of fuel and battery power. If the remaining amount is insufficient, they can refill the fuel and recharge the battery before attempting to start the motorcycle. Issues with the electronic control system: Owners can observe the engine's electronic control system warning light. If there is an alarm, it indicates a fault in the electronic control system, which may be due to a damaged electronic injection unit causing a failure to inject fuel. In such cases, it is necessary to inspect and replace the injection unit, microcomputer, fuse, and other electronic control components. Oil leakage or carbon buildup in the spark plug: If there is carbon buildup in the spark plug gap, it can absorb some of the injected fuel, leading to insufficient fuel supply and an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Owners can clean or replace the spark plug based on the specific situation to achieve better ignition performance.

Can you change lanes when there is one solid line and one dashed line?

When encountering a section of road with one solid line and one dashed line, the side with the solid line does not allow crossing the line or overtaking, while the dashed line allows lane changing and overtaking. The main purpose of this marking is to facilitate vehicle diversion, alleviate traffic congestion as much as possible, and avoid large-scale accidents. Here is additional information: 1. Penalties for driving over solid lines: If a vehicle crosses a solid line at a traffic light intersection, the driver's license will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 200 yuan. Drivers must be cautious when driving on the road, as all solid lines are prohibited from being crossed, especially at traffic light intersections where crossing solid lines due to lane changes is highly likely and must be avoided. 2. Evidence collection for crossing solid lines: This is mainly done through camera captures or drone footage. Once a solid line lane change is detected, there is no room for rebuttal or appeal, and the penalty must be accepted. Changing lanes over solid lines can easily cause traffic accidents. Drivers must adhere to relevant traffic rules while driving on the road to collectively create a good driving environment.

What is the difference between good and bad brake fluid?

Here are the differences between good and bad brake fluid: 1. Taste: Genuine brake fluid has a slightly sweet smell; fake brake fluid smells bad and has an alcohol-like odor. 2. Condition: Genuine brake fluid is yellow like diluted honey and feels warm to the touch; fake brake fluid is made by mixing water and alcohol, so it is very clear. Using fake brake fluid in a vehicle can cause brake failure while driving, leading to serious consequences. Here are the reasons for brake fluid leakage: 1. Brake hose rupture: The brake hose connects the brake pump and the brake caliper. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake fluid is transmitted through the hose to the caliper piston, which then pushes the brake pads to squeeze the brake disc, creating the braking effect. If the brake hose ruptures, it will inevitably lead to oil leakage, affecting the vehicle's braking performance, so timely repair is essential. 2. Damaged sealing ring: Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Although sealing rings are resistant, they can slightly age over time, reducing their sealing effectiveness and leading to oil leakage. Simply replacing the sealing ring can resolve the issue. 3. Loose or damaged hose screw: The hose screw is used to seal the brake fluid inside the hose. If the hose screw is damaged, oil leakage will naturally occur. If it is only loose, tightening it can solve the problem.

How to Solve the Problem of High Intake Air Temperature?

Methods to solve high intake air temperature are as follows: 1. Check if the car is leaking water: After completing the previous steps, the car owner should check if there is any water leakage under the car. Then, wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a certain level before turning off the engine. Use a wet towel to cover the coolant compensation tank cap, wait for the water vapor pressure to be released completely, and then fully open the coolant compensation tank cap to check the condition of the liquid in the radiator and whether the fan is functioning abnormally. 2. Park in a cool place and idle: First, find a safe and cool place to park. Be careful not to turn off the engine immediately and keep the vehicle idling to allow the radiator to cool. At the same time, open the engine hood to increase the cooling speed and observe whether the front radiator fan is working. 3. Wait for repair shop assistance: After performing the above steps, if the car shows improvement, you can drive it to the repair shop at low speed. If you notice radiator leakage or the fan not working, you should request emergency assistance as soon as possible.
