The reason for the violent shaking of the car body when the AC is turned on is the increased load on the engine. The following are specific explanations: 1. The power output of each cylinder of the engine is uneven, and the variation between cycles of the same cylinder is relatively large: The lower the engine speed, the greater the variation. When the AC button is pressed, the vehicle's speed will increase. Observe whether the increase in speed is the same as before. If not, the throttle body needs to be checked. 2. If the increase in engine speed is consistent, the spark plugs and fuel injectors need to be inspected: Irregular variations in spark energy and fuel injection quantity cause variations between different cylinders and cycles of the same cylinder. It is necessary to check the burning condition of the spark plugs, whether the gaps are consistent, and the consistency of fuel injector flow, especially the consistency at low flow rates.

What transmission is used in the Lavida Start Automatic Fashion Edition?

Lavida Start Automatic Fashion Edition is equipped with an Ericsson 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Functions of the transmission: Under the condition that the engine speed and torque remain unchanged, it changes the driving force and speed of the vehicle (shifting); enables the vehicle to reverse (direction change); and allows the engine to stop without stalling (neutral gear). Maintenance methods for the transmission: Regularly check the fluid level in the transmission to ensure it remains within the specified range, and replenish it promptly based on actual working conditions. When replenishing, ensure that the new fluid is of the same type. When changing the fluid, take advantage of the transmission's operation to promptly drain the old fluid and clean the system. During daily maintenance, inspect the condition of various connection points of the transmission to promptly identify any looseness, wear, or damage. Tighten any loose connections immediately and repair or replace any damaged parts in a timely manner.

What brand of antifreeze does BMW use?

BMW does not have mandatory brand requirements for antifreeze, but there are specifications for the type. Principles for selecting antifreeze: Choose the freezing point of the antifreeze based on environmental temperature conditions. The freezing point is one of the most important indicators of antifreeze and a key factor in its effectiveness; select antifreeze according to the specific requirements of the vehicle. Generally, imported vehicles, domestically produced vehicles, and mid-to-high-end vehicles should use permanent antifreeze (lasting 2–3 years), while ordinary vehicles can use direct-use antifreeze, and softened water can be used in summer. Hazards of insufficient antifreeze: It can cause the engine or radiator to freeze and crack, leading to engine failure. It also affects the radiator's cooling efficiency, failing to provide the necessary cooling effect. This disrupts normal circulation, generates excessive heat, and in severe cases, can cause engine damage.

Where is the Nissan Teana's factory plate located?

Nissan Teana's factory plate is located below the right B-pillar, which can be seen by opening the front passenger door. The significance of the vehicle's factory plate is: The vehicle's factory plate is a label indicating the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, vehicle model, engine model, engine displacement, engine rated power, vehicle identification number, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, factory serial number, manufacturing date, country of manufacture, and manufacturer name. The function of the vehicle's factory plate: By checking the vehicle's factory plate, you can confirm information such as the vehicle's displacement and production date. Also, check if there are any signs of tampering or scratches on the plate, as many vehicles' factory plates are installed in places not easily bumped. If the plate has been moved, carefully inspect the vehicle. Different vehicles have their factory plates located in different positions, generally placed in easily observable areas at the front of the vehicle.

What are the models of Audi dual-clutch transmissions?

Audi dual-clutch transmission models include: DQ200 dry dual-clutch, DQ381 dual-clutch, DL382 dual-clutch, etc. Function of dual-clutch transmissions: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transmission between them. It is a transmission mechanism capable of both transmitting and cutting off power. Its primary functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the drivetrain. History of dual-clutch transmissions: The concept of dual-clutch transmissions dates back 60 to 70 years. As early as 1939, Germany's Kegresse.A was the first to patent a dual-clutch transmission, proposing a design that divides the manual transmission into two parts: one for odd-numbered gears and the other for even-numbered gears. Power is transmitted through two clutches connected to two input shafts, with adjacent gears alternately meshing with the input shaft gears. By coordinating the control of the two clutches, it enables gear ratio changes without interrupting power, thereby reducing shift time and effectively improving shift quality.

What is the wiper size for the Jeep Compass?

The wiper size for the Jeep Compass is 22 inches for the front driver's side, 20 inches for the front passenger's side, and 11 inches for the rear. How wipers work: The wiper system operates through an electronic control system, which not only enables delay control of the wipers but also allows for other complex functions. The electronic control system includes a dual-speed motor and two limit switches. Through a handle switch, the following functions can be achieved: washing, wiping, high-speed wiping, low-speed wiping, intermittent wiping, and delay control. How to clean wipers: When using wipers to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid—never operate them dry. For stubborn or hard debris on the glass, clean it manually. When lifting the wiper blades during car washing or routine cleaning, hold them by the "spine" and gently return them—do not snap them back. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice from the windshield first to avoid putting extra strain on the wipers.
