Solution for the persistent engine fault light: Visit a repair shop to check the actual cause and resolve the vehicle issue. The persistent engine fault light could be due to exhaust emissions, or it might indicate problems with sensors or other mechanical components, leading to faults or deviations in exhaust emission monitoring. In such cases, the warning light will also illuminate. The engine is the core component of a vehicle, and its health directly affects the overall driving safety. If the engine experiences any unhealthy condition, the engine fault light on the vehicle dashboard will remain lit. When the engine fault light comes on, the first step is to carefully inspect the vehicle, listen for any unusual noises from the engine, and check if the exhaust is unusually black or blue. If the situation is severe, avoid continuing to drive recklessly. Instead, contact a 4S shop for towing and complete the inspection as soon as possible.

I've been driving for ten years. When the engine warning light stays on, first plug an OBD scanner into the car to check the trouble codes. You can buy one for just a few dozen bucks and handle it yourself. Common issues like a faulty oxygen sensor or fuel line blockage can be fixed this way. Last time, mine was just too much carbon buildup on the sensor—cleaning it solved the problem. If you don’t have the equipment, don’t try to dismantle anything yourself. Drive straight to a professional repair shop where the mechanic can diagnose the issue with their computer. Delaying could cause more engine damage and cost you more. Regularly checking fuel quality can help prevent problems. Never ignore the warning light—safety comes first.

What are the precautions for driving an automatic transmission car?

Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Do not coast in neutral; 2. Do not slam on the brakes or accelerator; 3. Do not shift gears before the car comes to a complete stop. The method for starting an automatic transmission car is: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button, and the ACC light will illuminate; 2. Press the start button again for the vehicle to perform a self-check; 3. Depress the brake and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 4. Depress the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears are divided into: 1. P gear (Parking gear), also the starting gear; 2. R gear (Reverse gear); 3. N gear (Neutral); 4. D gear (Drive gear), also known as the driving gear; 5. L gear (Low gear); 6. S gear (Sport mode).

Volkswagen Touareg spark plugs should be replaced for the first time at 5,000 kilometers, and then every 20,000 kilometers thereafter. Below is the relevant information: Volkswagen Touareg Spark Plugs: The original factory uses NGK ZFR5EGP and Bosch Y7LER02 spark plugs. When replacing, open the hood, remove the engine panel, disconnect the steel wire, and use an extended socket to unscrew the old spark plug and install the new one. Before replacing the spark plugs, ensure the vehicle is turned off and cooled down before proceeding. Spark Plug Replacement Method: Disconnect the ignition coil harness plug, remove the ignition coil fixing bolts; inspect the spark plugs (check if the terminal is damaged, if the insulator is punctured, if the electrode is worn, etc.); select the appropriate tools, assemble the tools, remove the spark plugs, and take them out one by one; cover the spark plug holes on the cylinder with a clean cloth to prevent objects from entering the cylinder; align the ignition coil with the spark plug, install it in place, and use a tool to screw in the bolts; clean the measuring tool, measure the spark plug gap, and judge the spark plug; check the new spark plug for any appearance issues, place the spark plug into a dedicated socket, screw it into the spark plug hole using a digital torque wrench, tighten the spark plug, turn off the ignition switch, open the engine hood, and install the three-piece set; use a digital torque wrench to tighten. Start the vehicle, clear any faults, and tidy up the workstation.
