Hello everyone, this is a column focusing on car repair and maintenance. There are car mysteries you don’t know, and it will teach you how to avoid the big pits on the road of car ownership. I believe that not only you but also many people have a certain sense of obscurity about the car aftermarket, which will help you uncover the unknown stories of car repair and maintenance.
The old Jaguar is undergoing its first fault repair. It has been 12 years since it left the factory in 07, but the Jaguar is still in the stage of barely driving, with a mileage of only about 80,000 kilometers.
Perhaps because there are so many years, the Jaguar can feel the vibration from the engine while sitting in the cab. Especially when waiting for a red light, that kind of shock can really shock your ass.
The most easily damaged thing about this old car is the claw glue, and it’s not surprising that there is something wrong with the claw glue in this Jaguar. The body relies on four-wheel shock absorbers to absorb vibrations, and the engine relies on claw glue to absorb vibrations. The claw glue is damaged and the vibration is transmitted directly to the cab, which feels like sitting on a washing machine in dry mode.
Claw glue is located at the bottom of the car body, and the car body needs to be supported before it can be replaced, which is not very difficult to replace.
After removing the claw glue, the whole claw glue is basically in a state of disintegration, and the internal oil has already spilled over. Claw glue and shock absorber work on the same principle, both are used to absorb vibration, so there is also oil.
The collapse of the shock absorber can be seen visually, as can be seen on the claw glue. Although the height difference is very small, the impact on the engine is really huge.
There are two claw glue on the body, which are located at the left and right ends of the engine, and there will be a third for some individual models. When changing the claw glue, all the claw glue must be replaced at the same time, in order to maintain a certain balance.
Only now do I have time to block the engine compartment of this old car, which is more than ten years old, but the engine compartment is still excruciatingly clean. I looked at all the parts carefully. I could hardly see any oil stains. They were very dry. This is very rare on an old car body.
The interior is even more surprising to me, in addition to the style is emitting the smell of the old car, the new and old degree can not see any traces of years. The pure leather seat is still white, and the mahogany decoration does not fade.
What fascinates me most about this Jaguar is the shift lever, where manual switching and automatic switching are designed to be in the same position. This kind of design no longer exists, because only one pick can achieve the same effect, which we often hear about, the shift pick.
In any case, this Jaguar is not only the boutique of the boutique, but also the unique soul of the old car. Although there is a glitch, it is also a maintenance accessory, which is understandable.
This old Jaguar does exude a unique charm, and for a moment, I even thought it was an American car with a strong muscle smell. After the road test, it made me love this old Jaguar. More than a decade later, it is really surprising to be able to maintain such an excellent condition. The owner must have spent a lot of energy on this car to do maintenance, otherwise it is very difficult to achieve such a condition.
The guiding price of this Jaguar in that year was 880000 yuan, which, taking into account various costs, has easily reached the range of millions. You know, more than ten years ago, people who were willing to spend millions on cars really accumulated a certain amount of wealth and really liked cars.
