The concept of life is universal to everything in the world, especially the automobile, a complex made up of thousands of parts with intricate silk caps. My Aiqi was bought in May 2015, and now it has been four and a half years. It has traveled nearly 120000 kilometers, an average of 30, 000 kilometers per year, which is still a bit hard for a scooter. At that time, it cost 80,000 real gold and silver to bring home the Xiao Qi, who was placed at the entrance of the exhibition hall of the Chery 4S store. I still remember the scene of buying a car at that time. As I was a rookie who bought a car, I went to the meeting alone when I was watching the car, and Oolong rushed into the car city. I dived in all day and saw the Xiao Qi who was about to be driven away in an inconspicuous corner. It was not because it already had its own owner, but because the seller at that time was going to attend the local auto fair the next day, so he had to drive it to the exhibition hall immediately. The sales consultant also scratched the surface and did not give me a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of the car. ), maybe the soft-shelled turtle looks at mung beans, a little green among the flowers. I was hastily infatuated with its first T-belt car within 80,000 yuan. 1.5T mine 2700mm wheelbase, 1396kg body weight, four-wheel independent suspension, LED taillights, trunk hydraulic support bar, these glittering jewelry on the car at that time were completely ignored by me. I only took a fancy to the 80,000 yuan “bike”.
Chatting with car friends often pops up when the clutch film should be paid attention to and when to change the tips, but there is always a high-hanging attitude when it comes to me. There are unexpected events in the sky, and people have bad luck and good fortune. When giving 90,000 kilometers to the car health care, he mentioned to the car repairman that he wanted to see the film. As a result, he was warmly told that he didn’t have to worry about it at all, and that he could fight for a few more years. The good times did not last long, several spring, summer, autumn and winter did not wait to come, only saw a spring, summer and winter, my Xiao Qi went on strike, looked up at the instrument, already 116000km. In a raging morning with a strong north wind, my cell phone alarm clock was silent as usual. I opened my eyes and saw that it was already dawn, and there would be a weekly meeting at nine o’clock sharp. At 08:45, I was still sleepy at the head of the bed. In a trance, when I saw the number 45 in my blurred field of vision, I felt as if Sima Guang smashed the jar and woke up with a bang. After washing and moistening his mouth, he rushed out the door. At 09:05 he walked breathlessly through the door of the conference room and crept to his place for the meeting. After a burst of indiscriminate bombardment on the rostrum, he could not help but wake up. The first thing I did after the light was not that I was late, but suddenly remembered that I didn’t have a hot car when I went out in the morning, and it was very astringent to shift gears after starting. At that time, my mind was full of racing against time, but now I can’t help but have a chill on my back. It’s over. There’s something wrong with the car. After the meeting, when I touched the familiar disc again, the idle speed jitter was obviously much stronger, sometimes rough waves, sometimes stew pot still. When I encountered this situation at that time, I thought that there was a large auto repair factory 3 kilometers away. Although the gear was awkward, I was lucky enough to hang up. The broken jar broke open and walked away, driving less than 100 meters, and just came to a T-junction. Because of the heavy traffic and the brake clutch, the car could not stand to stall when it was lifted up. While waiting for the intersection to be open, after I started the fire again, the car either couldn’t get into gear, or it was very difficult to put it into first gear. After hanging in, the car shivered and stalled. The first thought that popped up was that the gearbox might be broken, and it was eliminated in an instant. After all, the car trembled and stalled after the gear handle was put into the first gear, and then I remembered that I had seen the relevant car friends describe the clutch failure of their car in du Niang and the card altar. After scanning one by one, it was finally determined that it was the clutch pedal polishing that caused the failure of the clutch (there was no such consciousness at that time). After all, I smelled the obvious smell of rubber burning coming from the engine cabin during the last use of the car.

There was something wrong with the car. At that time, we had to rely on the elevator to lift it before we could see, hear and cut it. The stethoscope serves you!
In such a situation, my method at that time was indeed not worth using for reference, but the stupid man had a stupid way and was reluctant to pay for the trailer. He forced himself into first gear when the engine was turned off, and then drove in first gear. A single low-speed gear drove all the way to the garage 12 kilometers away from the accident point, which took a full hour and a half. Many friends may wonder why it takes so long. The reason is very simple: the speed of a speedometer controlled within 2000 rpm is generally no more than 20 kilometers. In order not to allow your car to be low-speed and high-speed, you overuse the car and increase the load. I can control the speed between 10-15km/h. So it took an hour and a half to use this is very normal. After driving to the repair shop, of course, it had to be tested and identified by a professional workman. at that time, the first analysis given to me by the mechanic was that the three sets of clutches were estimated to be broken. This is why I instructed that the clutch of the original manual car is an assembly concept. It is composed of three parts, that is, the clutch separation pedal, the separator (bearing) and the pressure plate. This analysis is completely consistent with my conjecture, since it is reasonable, hit it off, then cut open the belly, surgery. The clutch is located inside the engine compartment, so the first step is to open the cover. The specific maintenance procedures are as follows:

Open the cover and analyze the cause and source of the failure. The car repairman personally got on the car to investigate the cause of the problem, adopted the forced gear to hang into the investigation method, and found that the problem was on the clutch. It is confirmed that the problem lies in the clutch, after testing, the engine and gearbox are normal, so prescribe the right medicine to the case.

Remove the air filter

I didn’t know the exact location of the clutch. After the mechanic explained it, I learned that this guy was hiding directly under the air filter and battery. There is no way. If you want to see the true face of it, you have to go up and tear it down. The first thing to remove is the air filter.

Immediately after, I began to remove the battery. When talking about the battery, I had to praise this Aiqi. The original battery is Camel brand model L2-400. The term 400 means that the starting current is 400mA, the voltage is 12V, and the capacity is 60AH. Camel brand was a domestically produced civilian product, and the price was estimated to be about 300 yuan at that time. It has been driving for four and a half years. During this period, the car has experienced a five-month rest and a three-month rest. Two school breaks have not destroyed it. Up to now, the battery is only slightly inadequate. I think that with regard to this durability and cost performance, Varta and Bosch probably cannot achieve it. This was really something I never thought of. Even the mechanic was amazed when he heard that my battery had been in service for so long.

Take a close-up from above to pay tribute to the veterans.

Finished removing the air filter

Original air from the outside world enters the air filter through this round pipe opening, which can also be called an air inlet.

The large thick pipe opening in this picture is the opening where clean air filtered by the air filter enters the engine compartment. It is also called the secondary air inlet.

The position of the clutch and gearbox is exposed. It is this silver-white cylindrical metal part. This maintenance is to tear it apart, take out the three-piece clutch set inside, and further find out the cause of the failure.

After removing the two upper obstacles, the air filter and the battery, it is time to clear the lower obstacle of the clutch-the lower engine guard. At that time, in order to save money, I bought a plastic-steel lower guard plate. Personally, I felt that it was easy to use. The only shortcoming was that I broke a piece on the left side.

Give a close-up of the chassis and ask fans to comment on how long this chassis can be fought again.

The close-up of the bottom of the transmission is this part. It was removed for further maintenance, but the specific maintenance process could not be photographed, which was indeed a pity.

This depression was caused by the fact that he couldn’t see the metal steel pipe obstruction in front of him while traveling, so he went straight up. At that time, he really didn’t feel anything. Now look at it, the injury was quite serious at that time.

The deformed part of this plastic-steel front fender was baked out with an electric roasting lamp. To be honest, it was a blessing that it didn’t look damaged, otherwise it would have to be replaced with a new one. As the temperature increased, the depressed parts slowly returned to their original position.

The repair was successful. Let’s see the effect.
