Transmission failure symptoms will not appear immediately after water intrusion, but they will manifest within two weeks. Here are the relevant details: 1. Solution: Once the transmission fluid is contaminated by water and deteriorates, it is essential to replace it with new transmission fluid immediately. Additionally, the transmission fluid filter should be replaced at the same time. 2. Transmission: The transmission is a crucial component of the vehicle's powertrain. It enables gear shifting and torque variation. Without a transmission, the car cannot operate normally. There are two types of transmissions in vehicles: one is the manual transmission, and the other is the automatic transmission.

What are the three essential insurances for a car?

Here is a detailed introduction to the three essential insurances for a car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTPL): The first insurance to purchase for a car is CTPL, and the law also mandates that this insurance must be obtained when buying a car. Otherwise, new drivers cannot register their cars, and experienced drivers cannot drive on the road. Driving without CTPL can result in severe penalties. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Third-Party Liability Insurance primarily covers the compensation for personal injuries or direct property damage caused to others in accidents involving the insured car. Accidents are the last thing anyone wants during driving, as they not only damage your beloved car but also require a significant amount of money to compensate others. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Commonly referred to as comprehensive car insurance, this insurance differs from vehicle downtime loss insurance. It covers the losses incurred by the insured car due to natural disasters or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. However, it does not include losses caused by earthquakes.

What causes both the ABS and tire pressure lights to illuminate simultaneously?

The illumination of both the ABS and tire pressure monitoring system indicator lights indicates that the sensors in the vehicle's braking and steering systems have detected a malfunction, triggering the corresponding warning lights. A comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop is required to determine the exact cause of the vehicle's issue. Driving is not recommended when the ABS light is on: An illuminated ABS light signifies a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. Method to reset the tire pressure light: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until a "beep" sound is heard before releasing. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset process.

Should I Report to the Police if My Car Gets Scratched in the Residential Area?

If your car gets scratched while parked in a residential area, you should report it to the police. You can call the traffic police at 122 for assistance, or dial 110 to report the incident to the local police. Here are some parking tips for residential areas: 1. Park away from trees and balconies: When parking in a residential area, always be mindful to stay away from large trees and open balconies. In summer, tree sap, insect droppings, and bird droppings can corrode the car's paint and leave marks. During windy weather, flower pots, clothes racks, and other items on balconies may fall and damage the car roof, windshield, or paint. Therefore, it's best to park away from trees and balconies. 2. Avoid parking near garage doors or fire lanes: Garage doors and fire lanes in residential areas are no-parking zones, and drivers should avoid these areas when parking. To ensure unobstructed access for emergency vehicles, residential areas often have designated fire lanes, which are usually marked with special signs on both sides.

What to Do When the Car Doesn't Supply Fuel During Ignition?

The solution to the car not supplying fuel during ignition is as follows: If the car's fuel pump is malfunctioning, it is necessary to promptly visit the car's 4S store or a repair shop to inspect or replace the fuel pump, which can resolve the issue of the car not supplying fuel during ignition. Below is relevant information about the car fuel pump: 1. Introduction: The fuel pump is a lightweight and compact pump, mainly categorized into in-line, distributor, and unit types. The fuel pump requires a power source to operate, and its lower camshaft is driven by the engine crankshaft gear. 2. Classification: (1) Injection type: The injection pump is primarily used in automotive diesel engines. The injection pump assembly is usually composed of the injection pump, governor, and other components installed together as a whole. (2) Self-priming type: Before starting the self-priming pump, fill the pump casing with water or ensure the pump casing itself contains water. After starting, the high-speed rotation of the impeller causes the water in the impeller channels to flow towards the volute, opening the inlet check valve, allowing air from the suction pipe to enter the pump and reach the outer edge through the impeller channels.

Should You Turn Off the Engine When Waiting at a Red Light?

It is recommended not to turn off the engine when waiting at a red light, as this practice does not save fuel. Since the waiting time is relatively short, the amount of fuel injected during restart is not significantly different from the fuel consumption during a short idle period. Additionally, frequent restarts can wear out the starter motor and shorten the battery's lifespan. Additional Information: 1. Consider the duration before turning off the engine: Before turning off the engine, always consider the duration of the stop. If the parking time exceeds 2 minutes, you can turn off the engine. If the parking time is short, there is no need to do so. The engine, as the heart of the car, will see a reduced lifespan with excessive shutdowns and restarts. Frequent ignition starts can also affect the lifespan of the spark plugs. 2. Consider the duration during traffic jams: The decision to turn off the engine during traffic jams depends on the expected duration. If the idle time is expected to be long (e.g., due to traffic control), it is advisable to turn off the engine. For short-term traffic jams (such as waiting at a red light), it is not recommended to turn off the engine.
