Car maintenance is really crucial, especially for someone like me who frequently travels with family. Safety always comes first. Regular inspections and upkeep ensure the reliability of critical systems like brakes, tires, and lights, preventing loss of control or accidents on the highway. I remember once forgetting to change the oil, which caused the engine to overheat and nearly ruined it—costing me tens of thousands in repairs. A hard lesson learned. Maintenance isn’t just about oil changes; it also involves checking coolant levels, belts, and battery condition—small things that prevent big problems. My habit is to inspect every three months or 5,000 kilometers, keeping the car running smoothly and giving me peace of mind for worry-free family trips.

How to Deal with Excessive Noise in Cruze?

If it is during the break-in period, loud noise is normal, and try to avoid driving with high throttle. Outside the break-in period, it is necessary to check for any internal engine wear, and switching to better engine oil may help. Here are some relevant information: 1. If the engine noise is loud, it might be due to poor engine lubrication, in which case the engine oil needs to be replaced. It is recommended to use fully synthetic oil. 2. If the exhaust noise is loud, the solutions are: (1) The simplest method is to insert a steel wool ball, the kind used for washing dishes at home, which can significantly reduce resonance caused by exhaust quality issues and also has some sound-dampening effect. (2) Change the diameter of the exhaust pipe, which requires welding. (3) Modify the mid-muffler, either by replacing it with a sound-dampening mid-muffler, altering its structure, or adding more metal sound-dampening materials inside. If the air conditioning fan noise is loud, the solution is: simply replace the fan or lower the water temperature.

Lifespan of the JETOUR X70 Dry Dual Clutch Transmission?

Under normal driving conditions, there shouldn't be any issues. Just avoid aggressively stepping on the accelerator when going uphill. The same applies for normal starts. Although the dry dual-clutch transmission can pre-engage gears, it's still a mechanical system rather than human-operated. Prolonged improper and aggressive acceleration can burn out the clutch. Currently, Volkswagen's series are the best when it comes to dual-clutch transmissions, as BorgWarner's technology is the most advanced and refined in this field, exclusively used by Volkswagen. The most impressive aspect is that Volkswagen has nearly perfected the ratio and formula between the driving and driven shafts in their mechanical transmissions, thanks to extensive market feedback and R&D efforts. While many criticize it, the effort behind it is undeniable. Other products using BorgWarner's technology fall short by a small margin but miss by a mile, unable to compete. If luck isn't on your side, you might need to replace the entire transmission in two or three years, so be prepared to spend around 20,000 yuan. The 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty refers to the engine, not the transmission.
