When the oil warning light comes on, you can drive for a maximum of 60 kilometers. Insufficient engine oil can cause mechanical damage to the engine. In chain-driven engines, the timing chain is guided by rails, which are tensioned by hydraulic cylinders powered by pressurized oil. The pressure is proportional to the engine speed. There are three scenarios for oil pressure warnings: 1. The warning appears during engine startup and disappears shortly after normal startup. 2. High-temperature warning, where the alert does not appear during startup but occurs during normal or high-speed operation. 3. Continuous warning, where the alert persists from startup through operation. Oil pressure warnings are not only related to the quality of the lubricating oil but also closely tied to the engine's condition. Factors such as the car's age, mileage, clearance size, and the working condition of the oil pump and auxiliary systems must all be thoroughly inspected, analyzed, and evaluated.

What to do if the fuel tank cap of Audi A6 cannot be opened?

If the fuel tank cap of Audi A6 cannot be opened, you can use the emergency release switch located in the trunk to open it.

What is the principle of the brake light switch?

The principle of the brake light switch is that when the foot brake pedal is pressed, it pushes down on the brake light switch contact point, thereby closing the brake light circuit and illuminating the brake light. When the brake pedal is released, the switch contact opens, turning off the brake light. The brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle and is primarily red in color to enhance the penetration of the light source. This makes it easier for following vehicles to detect when the vehicle ahead is braking under low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. The reasons why the brake light on the car dashboard stays lit continuously are: 1. Severe wear of the brake pads; 2. Insufficient brake fluid; 3. Damage to the brake switch.
