Car Engine Suspension - What is 1.3T
Suspension types for 1.3T engines usually consist of a combination of a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. This combination provides better handling stability and ride comfort. The Mercedes CLA Class, for example, is equipped with this suspension combination .
Features of the 1.3T engine
The 1.3T engine usually refers to a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters. Turbocharging technology increases the engine's power output and torque, making the 1.3T engine roughly equivalent in power to a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine. This engine design is designed to improve fuel efficiency and increase power output, giving both power and fuel economy .
The application of 1.3T engine in different models
The 1.3T engine is used in several models, such as:
Geely GS : Equipped with self-developed 1.3T turbocharged engine, providing 141 HP, maximum power of 101 kW, maximum torque of 235 nm, matching 6-speed manual transmission .
Buick Yuelang : equipped with 1.3T turbocharged engine, maximum power is 163 HP, transmission matching 6-speed manual integrated transmission .
The main functions of automobile engine suspension include support, positioning and vibration isolation.
Support function : the most basic role of the suspension system is to support the powertrain, ensure that the vehicle powertrain is in a reasonable position, and the whole suspension system has enough service life .
limit function : in the engine starting, flaring off, vehicle acceleration and deceleration and other transient conditions, the suspension system can effectively limit the maximum displacement of the powertrain, avoid collision with peripheral parts, to ensure the normal power work .
insulated actuator : suspension system as the chassis and engine connection, prevent the engine vibration transfer to the car body, while preventing the ground uneven excitation impact on the power train .
In addition, the engine suspension also plays an important role in the NVH performance of the vehicle (noise, vibration and sound roughness), which can reduce the impact of power vibration on the vehicle and limit the amount of power jitter .
The solution to a broken engine suspension :
Inspect and replace worn or loose parts :
Each ball head is worn or the ball head screws are loose : check the size of the clearance of the ball head and whether it is loose, tighten the bolts, replace the new connecting rod and connecting ball .
aging damage of control arm rubber buffer : check whether the buffer rubber is cracked and aging, replace the new swing arm buffer rubber or a new swing arm assembly .
oil leakage damage : Check the appearance of the shock absorber for signs of oil leakage. Press the four corners of the car by hand to check the body bounce and whether there is abnormal sound. Replace the new shock absorber .
top rubber or plane bearing abnormal sound : check whether the top rubber or plane bearing is damaged, replace the new top rubber or plane bearing, or add grease .
balance pole rubber sleeve abnormal sound : check the balance pole rubber sleeve is wrong, replace the new balance pole rubber sleeve .
Loose connection parts : check whether the parts are loose and tighten the loose screws .
Professional repair and maintenance :
Stop immediately and contact the repair station : Do not continue driving if damage or malfunctioning of the vehicle's suspension system is found, so as not to cause more serious damage to the vehicle or pose a danger to pedestrians and other vehicles. Contact a nearby repair station immediately for rescue or tow truck service .
choose professional maintenance station : regardless of whether in the warranty period, should choose a professional car maintenance station for inspection and maintenance, because the suspension system is an important part of driving safety, need to be properly repaired and maintained .
Preventive measures :
Regular inspection and maintenance : Regular inspection of the various components of the suspension system to ensure that they are in good condition, timely replacement of aging and worn parts .
avoid bad road conditions : try to avoid driving in bad road conditions to reduce wear and damage to the suspension system .
