The main reasons why the vehicle doesn't move after starting and shifting gears are: 1. Handbrake not released: The handbrake is not fully released or forgotten to be released. It is recommended to check whether the handbrake of the vehicle is fully released; 2. Clutch failure: Check whether the vehicle's drive shaft is rotating. If it does not rotate, it indicates a failure in the transmission system or clutch system. The transmission cover should be removed to check whether the shift fork is broken and whether the guide block fixing screw is loose. Sometimes, excessive or insufficient free travel or clearance of the clutch can also cause the vehicle not to move after shifting gears; 3. Gear failure in the rear axle system: If the drive shaft rotates, it indicates a gear failure in the rear axle system. Check the corresponding faulty parts one by one. If the problem cannot be resolved, please contact a service station for repair.

Does a New Car Need Crystal Coating?

Does a new car need crystal coating? The purpose of crystal coating is to protect the car paint. Benefits of crystal coating: 1. Resistant to corrosion. After crystal coating, the car surface is isolated from the external environment, making it less prone to oxidation by air and effectively preventing acid rain from corroding the paint surface. 2. Easier to clean. After crystal coating, the car surface becomes as smooth as ceramic tiles, allowing easy removal of dust, mud, and other debris with just water during routine car washes. 3. Scratch-resistant. Crystal coating reduces damage from external forces to the car surface, leaving scratches only on the coating layer without harming the car paint or primer, even with severe scratches.

What is the function of the transmission mechanism?

The main function of the transmission mechanism is to meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions. Functions of the transmission: Change the transmission ratio to meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate as much as possible under favorable working conditions and meeting the possible driving speed requirements. Enable reverse driving to meet the needs of the vehicle moving backward. Interrupt power transmission when the engine starts, idles, the vehicle shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output, thereby cutting off the power transmission to the drive wheels. Classification of transmissions: Divided into three types: stepped, continuously variable, and integrated.

Can the intake pipe of a diesel heater be placed inside the car?

The intake pipe of a diesel heater cannot be placed inside the car; it needs to be installed outside the vehicle. Introduction to Car Trunk: The car trunk, as the name suggests, is the area in the vehicle for storing spare items and carrying goods. Functions of Car Trunk Mat: Prevents items from rubbing against the car and causing damage when placed inside. Prevents direct contact between items, such as glass, and the car, which could lead to item damage. Additionally, placing a mat can reduce the vibration effect on items, making them less prone to damage. A thick base material can block noise from the chassis and tires, enhancing driving comfort.

Why does the parking brake leak air when pulled?

Issue with the relay valve. Connection to the air reservoir: The relay valve's intake port is connected to the air reservoir, and the air outlet is connected to the brake chamber. When the brake pedal is pressed, the output air pressure from the brake valve serves as the control pressure input for the relay valve. Under this control pressure, the intake valve is pushed open, allowing compressed air to flow directly from the intake port into the air reservoir. The moving chamber does not pass through the brake valve, which significantly shortens the brake chamber's air filling line and accelerates the chamber's air filling process. Relay valve: The relay valve is part of the vehicle's air brake system. In heavy-duty vehicle brake systems, the relay valve serves to reduce reaction time and pressure build-up time.

How is the tire aspect ratio calculated?

Tire aspect ratio is calculated by tire width in mm + aspect ratio percentage of tire cross-section + tire type code + rim diameter in inches + load index + speed rating code. Below is a partial introduction about tire aspect ratio: 1. Function: It is a major factor affecting a vehicle's sensitivity to road conditions. Vehicles with lower aspect ratios have thinner sidewalls and tires that bear greater pressure, making them highly sensitive to road conditions. This allows rapid transmission of road signals to the driver, facilitating better control, commonly seen in performance-oriented models. 2. Feature: Higher aspect ratios result in thicker sidewalls, providing ample cushioning but poorer road feedback, especially feeling more sluggish during turns, commonly found in comfort-oriented models.
