The main reasons why an automatic transmission car does not move when pressing the accelerator in D gear are: 1. If the driveshaft rotates but the car does not move, the fault lies in the rear axle: lift the rear axle, and when turning one rear wheel, if the driveshaft does not rotate and the other rear wheel rotates in reverse, it indicates that all the rivets of the driven bevel gear are sheared. If the other rear wheel also does not rotate, the half-shaft should be disassembled and checked for breakage. 2. If the car starts but the driveshaft does not rotate in a certain gear, the fault is in the transmission: the transmission cover should be removed to check whether the shift fork is broken or if the guide block fixing screws are loose. 3. If the driveshaft does not rotate in any gear, the fault is in the clutch: check whether it is severely slipping, whether all the spline teeth of the clutch driven plate and the rivets on the steel plate are sheared, or if the steel plate is fractured.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on Baojun 510?

To reset the tire pressure monitoring system on Baojun 510: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound. Release the button, and the system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly to fix the puncture and then reinflate the tire; If the low tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any visible puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and makes the vehicle prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety.

How to Shift to S Gear in Audi A3?

Audi A3 shifting to S gear operation: While the car is in motion, simply push the gear lever into the "S" gear position. It is typically used for climbing slopes and rapid overtaking. The following are considerations when shifting to S gear: 1. The Audi A3 can use S gear after running 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. 2. Do not use S gear for the first high-speed run; when accelerating, apply the throttle gently. Wait until the car runs smoothly before using S gear, with the same method as above. 3. For a run-in car, wait until it has run 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers before performing rapid acceleration. The car's acceleration will then be as desired, achieving the required speed. During this period, an oil change is necessary.

What Causes Engine Shaking During Car Ignition?

Engine shaking during car ignition may be attributed to the following two reasons: 1. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors can cause shaking. After driving for a certain mileage, a dirty throttle body may fail to close properly or the idle speed control motor may become stuck, both of which can lead to excessively high engine idle speed. Carbon deposits generated during engine operation can also cause vehicle shaking, especially during startup when the engine shakes more noticeably than usual, sometimes even resulting in failure to start on the first attempt. 2. Worn engine mounts can also cause shaking. Vehicle shaking may sometimes be related to aging engine mounts. Engine mounts essentially serve as the engine's vibration damping system, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts malfunction, these vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle speed.

Where is the radiator located in the Volkswagen Lavida?

The radiator of the Volkswagen Lavida is located at the front end of the car's front bumper. Here are some important notes: 1. The Lavida's radiator is covered by the engine radiator guard, and water should not be added to the radiator. 2. Adding water to the radiator is not permitted by the manufacturer. If adding water causes damage to the radiator or engine, it will not be covered under warranty. 3. Although water is also a type of coolant and can cool the engine, the coolant filled in the engine is a mixture of coolant concentrate and water in a specific standard ratio. 4. Plain water alone is considered a low-grade coolant, which is not only affected by seasons but also prone to scale and rust. In contrast, coolant is suitable for all seasons, of high quality, and ensures reliable performance.
