Below are the reasons related to the discontinuation of the Audi TTRS: 1. Poor sales: The sales of the Audi TT began to show signs of decline many years ago. To gauge market enthusiasm, Audi even showcased a five-door coupe version and a crossover version a few years ago, but the response was not favorable. As a result, these two models were never mass-produced. 2. High R&D costs: As a sports car, the research and development costs of the Audi TT are naturally higher than those of ordinary family cars. Despite such high investment, the Audi TT failed to achieve the expected sales. Consequently, the R&D costs had to be shared across other models. For instance, the sustained development of Porsche's sports cars can largely be attributed to models like the Cayenne and Panamera. 3. Impact of environmental factors: Firstly, the Volkswagen Group was affected by the emissions scandal, incurring economic costs totaling over 230 billion RMB due to the incident. This likely led to significant budget cuts within the group, leaving it unable to afford the budget for developing the next-generation model. Additionally, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the global automotive market slumped, dealing a heavy blow to the Volkswagen Group. Under such circumstances, discontinuing the Audi TT became a logical decision.

Does a Car Depreciate After an Engine Replacement?

Replacing the engine will definitely affect the vehicle's performance and lead to depreciation. Below are relevant details: Corresponding Replacement: Engines of the same model can be replaced, but since a car consists of tens of thousands of assembled parts, the engine cannot be replaced alone; other related components should also be replaced. Choosing a 4S Shop or Large Auto Repair Facility: For engine replacement, it is best to choose a 4S shop or a large auto repair facility. The original engine must be replaced to ensure the vehicle's performance and effectiveness, although the repair costs are high. Updating Engine Number Information at the DMV: After replacement, the engine number must be updated at the DMV. Failing to update the engine number information at the DMV is illegal.

Will I Get Penalty Points for Getting Out of the Car in a Traffic Jam?

Getting out of the car and walking when the vehicle is unable to move will not result in fines or penalty points. Avoid getting out of the car without special circumstances during congestion: Highways are designed for high-speed vehicles, and regulations vary across different countries and regions, as well as different times and scientific or academic fields. Highways are fully enclosed roads dedicated to motor vehicles, while first-class roads can be fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, or open, with broader usage but relatively lower technical standards. When traffic congestion occurs on highways or bridge sections, drivers and passengers should adjust their emotions and avoid getting out of the car unless under special circumstances. Causes of traffic congestion: Apart from difficult road conditions or external factors like construction, other causes of traffic jams include drivers dozing off due to fatigue, being distracted by mobile phones, or other personal reasons.

Is the CS55 Equipped with a Blue Whale Engine?

The engine in the CS55 is not a Blue Whale engine. It is independently developed and produced by Changan and belongs to a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the CS55 is JL476ZQCD, with a maximum power of 115kW (5500rpm), a maximum horsepower of 156Ps, and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. For daily maintenance of the CS55's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
