How many kilometers can an Audi Q5 run after the oil light comes on?

q5 oil warning indicates that the engine oil is severely insufficient, and running even one more kilometer is extremely dangerous. Without oil, the engine will seize, and if it seizes, neither the 4S shop nor the auto repair shop will recommend repairing it; they will directly suggest replacing the engine. There are three situations when the oil pressure warning occurs: 1. The warning appears when starting the engine and quickly disappears after normal startup. 2. High-temperature warning: no warning when starting, but a warning appears during normal operation or high-speed driving. 3. Continuous warning: the warning persists from startup to operation. In addition to the quality of the lubricating oil, the oil pressure warning is closely related to the engine's own condition. The car's age, mileage, clearance size, and the working condition of the oil pump and auxiliary systems should all be checked, analyzed, and judged without exception. The importance of the oil light: Among the vehicle warning lights, the oil light is the most important. If the oil light comes on, the engine must be stopped immediately. At high speeds, if there is truly no oil pressure, it can quickly cause the engine to burn out and become irreparable. This happens very quickly—so quickly that by the time you notice the oil light and try to stop, the engine may already be unable to start. Therefore, if the oil light comes on while driving, immediate action is required.

What are the new policies for new energy vehicles?

Details of the new policies for new energy vehicles are as follows: No lottery required: Only application and queuing are needed. Everyone knows how difficult it is to obtain a fuel vehicle license plate in Beijing, which involves a probability of success—some people even fail to get one after 3-4 years. However, according to the "Implementation Rules for the Temporary Regulation on the Control of the Number of Small Passenger Vehicles in Beijing (2013 Revision)," new energy vehicle license plates only require application and queuing. It is certain that you will 100% get one, though the waiting time may vary, with the maximum possibly being 2 years. Purchase subsidies: And the cost of usage is relatively low. For details on purchase subsidies, please check elsewhere. Now, after applying for a new energy small passenger vehicle license plate, you can still enjoy certain subsidies when purchasing an electric vehicle. No need to worry about traffic restrictions: According to the "Notice of the Beijing Municipal People's Government on Implementing Traffic Management Measures for Regional Traffic Restrictions During Peak Hours on Weekdays" (Jing Zheng Fa [2017] No. 12), pure electric small passenger vehicles are not subject to traffic restrictions during peak hours on weekdays. For those who rely on daily car travel, this is undoubtedly the best possible favorable policy.

Is there a distinction between inside and outside when installing car tires?

Car tires that require distinction will be marked with "outside" and "inside" on the sidewall. If there are no markings, it means there is no distinction between inside and outside. How to check tire size: Tire labels are uniformly located on the tire sidewall. Taking the tire specification 195/65R15 as an example, 195 indicates the tire width is 195mm, 65 represents the tire section height as a percentage of the width (65%), R stands for radial tire, and 15 indicates the wheel rim diameter is 15 inches. Functions of tires: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations.

Is it acceptable to exceed the maintenance mileage for a motorcycle?

Exceeding the maintenance mileage for a motorcycle is not advisable. Below are the impacts of delayed maintenance on the vehicle: Increased engine wear: It will accelerate engine wear and also lead to increased noise during engine operation. Decreased lubricating properties of engine oil: If maintenance is not performed on time, the primary issue is the decline in the lubricating performance of the engine oil, which will further exacerbate engine wear. Engine oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, as it plays roles in lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, cushioning, and rust prevention within the engine. Without engine oil, the engine cannot function properly.

What Causes Vehicle Shaking at Low Idle Speed?

Vehicle shaking at low idle speed can be attributed to the following reasons: Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: The primary cause of vehicle shaking at low idle speed is excessive carbon deposits on the throttle body or fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the fuel sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by these deposits. Engine Misfire: An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders fail to function properly. This condition is characterized by intermittent exhaust gas flow and noticeable shaking of the exhaust pipe, accompanied by distinct engine vibrations. Irregular Air-Fuel Mixture: This leads to unstable idling after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits can significantly affect the smoothness of the cold start process.

What Causes Motorcycle Battery Bulging?

Motorcycle battery bulging is mainly caused by insufficient electrolyte inside the battery, leading to prolonged charging when the charger fails to switch off. If the battery depletion is due to quality issues and the battery is still under warranty with proper maintenance, free replacement can be claimed. Automotive Battery Warranty Period: Generally, the warranty period for batteries is one year or 20,000 kilometers. Since batteries are considered wear-and-tear parts, their warranty period is relatively short. Battery Warranty Regulations: Owners can refer to the vehicle's three-guarantee manual, which clearly specifies the battery warranty period. During the warranty period, if issues such as plate breakage, short circuits, leakage, or bulging are identified by professional technicians as quality problems, free replacement can be obtained at the designated purchase point.

Are There Engines That Don't Require Spark Plugs for Ignition?

There are no engines that don't require spark plugs for ignition. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Spark plugs are crucial components in a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and generate a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Under high voltage, the air between the spark plug's center electrode and side electrode rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties. This creates a discharge channel, resulting in a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas becomes a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with the heat and expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach 2000-3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.
