Is it normal for the Volvo XC90's fan to keep running for an hour after turning off the engine?

It is abnormal for the Volvo XC90's fan to keep running for an hour after turning off the engine. In this case, there should be a fault somewhere: 1. There is a problem with the coolant temperature sensor, which continuously records high coolant temperature signals and transmits them to the fan control computer, causing the fan to keep running; 2. The fan relay has malfunctioned, failing to disconnect in time after turning off the engine, resulting in the battery continuously supplying power to the fan. The Volvo XC90 is equipped with a five-cylinder light turbocharged 2.5T engine and a six-cylinder twin-turbocharged T6 engine. The 2.5T all-wheel-drive model has a maximum power output of 208 horsepower, while the twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder gasoline engine has a maximum power output of 272 horsepower. In terms of safety, the Volvo XC90 features a front MacPherson strut with an anti-roll bar and an independent multi-link rear suspension with an anti-roll bar, adopting an electronic AWD all-wheel-drive system.

It's actually quite common for the fan to keep running after the engine is turned off, especially for SUVs like the Volvo XC90. The turbocharged engine needs to cool down gradually after getting hot, so the fan automatically running for a few minutes up to 20 minutes is a normal protective mechanism. However, if it's still running after an hour, something might be wrong. I've driven this type of car before and encountered a situation where the fan ran for too long. It turned out to be a stuck thermostat, causing the fan to run continuously and drain the battery unnecessarily. Additionally, external factors like hot weather or long-distance driving can slightly extend the fan's operation time, but an hour definitely exceeds the normal range. It's recommended to visit a 4S shop immediately to check the circuit. Ignoring this issue could lead to faster fan wear and even affect the vehicle's ability to restart, which relates to daily driving safety and durability.

Is it possible not to install ETC?

Yes, it is possible, but car owners are encouraged to install ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, vehicles that have not applied for ETC by 2020 will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and toll fees can only be paid through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated first. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use highways, and ETC users passing through ETC lanes will not be charged. The principle of ETC charging: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the purpose of paying road and bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions, minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate of passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC by trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing car owners with comprehensive travel services. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications.

How to Repair a Tubeless Tire on a Car?

The correct approach is to take the car to a professional tire service shop where they use a specialized tire removal machine to take off the tire and then patch it from the inside with a repair patch. However, you might not have these conditions on the road. The bead of a tubeless tire is softer and fits more tightly than that of a regular tire, making it much harder to remove (which is why a tire removal machine is necessary). Generally, tubeless tires cannot be removed manually. Even if you manage to force them off with regular tools, you risk damaging the bead, leading to seal failure and air leakage. Patching a car tire and a motorcycle tire both cost ten yuan, but car tires are much easier to remove! Professional pneumatic tools are available for this. Motorcycle and electric bike tubeless tires are usually taken to a car repair shop after removing the wheel at a repair shop. Honestly, if the repair shop doesn’t have the right equipment, they won’t bother doing it because it’s too troublesome! Motorcycle wheels can be directly operated on a car tire removal machine, which is quite simple. You can also choose to use both a plug and a self-sealing liquid. In summary, the best solution is to carry plugs, self-sealing liquid, and an air pump with you. If you get a flat in the middle of nowhere where it’s inconvenient to patch, you can use a plug or pour in self-sealing liquid, then inflate the tire. Of course, the tire will be done in two years, whether you drive it or not. The specific method depends on the actual situation. To determine if a tire needs replacement, check the safety line between the treads—the raised ridges at the bottom of the tire, usually horizontal. Just take a closer look at the tire to see. The wear limit position for tire treads is the same for both cars and motorcycles. Additionally, when replacing tires, try to choose wider ones. The slightly higher fuel consumption is almost negligible, but the grip will be better. The same logic applies to cars—the wider, the better. As for the trade-off between grip and wear resistance—grippy tires wear out faster, while durable tires don’t grip as well—this is normal. When replacing tires, you can appropriately go up one size in width, such as replacing a 110-width tire with a 120-width one. There’s no problem with that. The golden rule to avoid punctures on short or long trips is not to drive too close to the roadside, as nails and other debris are often scattered there. Can regular wheels be fitted with tubeless tires? There are two opinions: 1. Absolutely, many people have done it. 2. No, because there might be sealing issues at the junction between the rim and the tubeless tire bead. The best course of action is to ask at a repair shop. Theoretically, it’s not advisable, but in practice, many people modify it. As long as it’s not pushed to the limit, it should be fine.
