Why Should You Never Change the Automatic Transmission Fluid in a Langdong?

For automatic transmissions in vehicles, the transmission fluid generally needs to be replaced every two years or every 40,000-60,000 kilometers driven. The specific requirements vary depending on the vehicle model, so please refer to the maintenance manual for details. Hazards of not changing the transmission fluid: Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage in the transmission's shift control mechanism; cause abnormal wear on the gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; affect the normal operation of the transmission, resulting in damage to the transmission valve body. Over 99% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating of the fluid and the accumulation of impurities due to prolonged non-replacement of the fluid. Therefore, regular replacement of ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is crucial for automatic transmission maintenance. Methods for changing transmission fluid: Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling, or directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain and refill the fluid. This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities accumulated at the bottom of the oil pan. Alternatively, a smart circulation machine can be used for dynamic fluid replacement, which filters and cleans out sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission through a circulation process.

What are the reasons for the ABS light in the Citroen C-Quatre to illuminate?

Citroen C-Quatre ABS light illuminates due to the following reasons: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h, the speed signal is not transmitted to the ABS control unit; 2. When the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h, the speed signal exceeds the tolerance value; 3. There is a recognizable open circuit or short circuit to the positive or ground in the sensor. Solutions for the Citroen C-Quatre ABS light illumination: 1. Check for poor contact or damage in the wiring and connectors; 2. Inspect the installation gap, position, and contamination of the wheel speed sensor and toothed ring; 3. Avoid high-speed driving and sudden braking; 4. Adjust the wheel bearing clearance to the normal value.

Do Automatic Transmission Cars Need to Depress the Clutch?

Automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch, so there is no need to depress the clutch pedal. Here is an introduction to the clutch: Function of the Clutch: The clutch acts like a switch, engaging or disengaging the power transmission. The clutch mechanism allows the driving part and the driven part to temporarily separate and gradually engage, and they may also rotate relative to each other during the transmission process. There must be no rigid connection between the driving and driven parts of the clutch. All types of vehicles have a clutch device, but they vary in form. Classification of Clutches: Clutches can be divided into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.

Where is the Reverse Gear Position in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission reverse gear positions vary by specific vehicle model: 1. For most standard vehicles, the manual transmission reverse gear is located at the bottom right corner; 2. In Santana and Buick models, the manual transmission reverse gear is positioned at the bottom left corner. Manual transmission vehicles utilize a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission system to regulate speed, where the driver manually moves the gear lever to alter gear engagement positions within the transmission, thereby changing gear ratios to achieve speed variation. Manual transmission gears are categorized as follows: 1. First gear is the starting gear, used when initiating vehicle movement; 2. Second gear serves as the passing gear; 3. Third gear functions as the transition gear; 4. Fourth gear operates as the cruising gear; 5. Fifth gear is designated as the high-speed gear.

Does a cracked tire need to be replaced?

Tires with cracks need to be replaced. Below are the criteria for determining when a tire should be replaced: 1. Small-scale cracking: It is generally acceptable to continue using the tire. However, if the cracking is extensive and covers almost the entire tread, replacement is necessary. Not only does this affect the comfort level of the tire (noise reduction), but it also significantly reduces the tire's grip performance, posing a certain danger while driving. 2. Tire wear level: Almost every tire has a wear indicator. For passenger car tires, the wear indicator height is typically 1.6 millimeters (this is also the legal minimum tread groove depth), while for load-bearing tires, it is 2.4 millimeters. If the wear indicator is flush with the tread, it means the tire is nearly worn out and should be replaced promptly.

What Causes Gear Grinding in Cars?

Gear grinding in cars occurs when the clutch fails to fully disengage. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. It consists of a drive belt, pressure plate, flywheel, crankshaft, driven disc, front support ring, rear support ring, release hook, release bearing, transmission input shaft, clutch cover, and diaphragm spring. The functions of the clutch include: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle startup; 2. Facilitating gear shifts to adapt to varying driving conditions; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact. Clutches are categorized into flat friction type and automatic centrifugal type. The flat friction clutch is reliable and has a long service life, while the automatic centrifugal clutch features a simple structure, reliable operation, and easy handling.
