Question 1

The most popular cars in Central London

Accepted Answer

London is the capital of England, the largest city in England and the United Kingdom, and is termed to be one of the most important cities in the world, yet the city of London, with boundaries closely based on its original medieval limits, is an area only 1.12 square miles.London exerts a powerful impact on art and culture, tourism, innovation and industry; it’s also one of the most expensive places to visit or to live.Greater London, the ceremonial county within the London region, has a population of over 8.8million, covers 606 square miles, and is organised into 33 local districts and also the 32 London boroughs.
Its famous points of interest, attractions to visit and historical landmarks are too many to list; it is the home of UK Parliament and the Royal Family, as well as to cultures speaking over 300 languages and the busiest city airport system in the world, seeing its also the most visited city in the world (as measured by international arrivals).

Question 2

Vehicle numbers in London

Accepted Answer

Given their worldwide popularity, multipurpose appeal and agility to make light work of cutting through the London traffic, it’s no great surprise to hear that the VW Golf is estimated to be the most popular car in London, according to data provided between 2012 to 2018 by ownership and postcode.Close on its heels—and in order of popularity—are the Mercedes A-Class, the new Audi A3, BMW 3 Series and the F-Type Jaguar Convertible. Needless to say, Western Central London is one of the more affluent areas of Greater London.

Question 4

What does Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) do?

Accepted Answer

Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) provides the lubrication to the moving parts, wear and corrosion protection and is there to transfer the mechanical power of the automatic transmission. This is why regular servicing of an automatic transmission is vital to change this fluid (and its filter where fitted) in line with manufacturers recommendation. Failure to do this can result in many issues, such as transmission overheat, solenoid failure, jerky gear changes and even total gearbox failure.

Question 5

What is an Automatic Transmission Fluid Flush?

Accepted Answer

A transmission fluid flush is a process in which the fluid in an automatic transmission is flushed out of the transmission (gearbox) and replaced with new Automatic Transmission Fluid (AFT). The flushing process, when done correctly, replaces nearly 100% of the old fluid with new fluid, including fluid in the torque converter and oil cooler lines.

Question 6

How often should I have my automatic transmission fluid flushed?

Accepted Answer

Most manufacturers recommend replacing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you tow anything, or do mostly city driving with more frequent changes of gears, it may be wise to change your ATF even more often.

Question 7

What happens during an automatic transmission service?

Accepted Answer

There are many different processes required depending on the manufacturer, some of which may include all the following or just some:
Mechanics will raise the vehicle and increase the gearbox temperature if required by the procedures.
The gearbox drain plug will be removed, or a syphon pump inserted down the filler tube.
If the vehicle has a filter, the sump is likely to be removed so the filter can be accessed.
The parts will then be cleaned before a new filter is installed and the sump refitted with a new gasket or sealing compound.
The gearbox will then be refilled with the correct ATF for the gearbox and application in accordance with the manufacturer's procedure.
In some cases the refilling operation requires diagnostic input as well as manual.
Once refilled to the correct level and run through its selection routine, the vehicle will be test driven before returning it to the owner.

Question 8

What are the symptoms of requiring an Automatic Transmission Fluid Flush & replacement?

Accepted Answer

Usually, there a few signs you can look for: 
Transmission grinding or strange noises
Problems changing or selecting Gears
Slipping gears
Failure to change up or down smoothly
Jolts or a delay as you change from Park to Drive
Transmission overheat warnings
Transmission Control Unit warning lights
