The reasons for a car shuddering and gasping are as follows: One-way valve blockage: A clogged PVC one-way valve prevents the timely discharge of exhaust gases from the crankcase, causing them to exit through the crankcase intake and reach the throttle position. Over time, this leads to symptoms of oil deterioration in the throttle. It is recommended to replace the PVC valve promptly. Control valve not sealing properly: The carbon canister control valve does not close tightly. Issues with engine mounts: Idle shuddering may be caused by problems with the engine hydraulic mounts. After replacement, test drive to see if the symptoms are eliminated. Sensor failure: A malfunctioning water temperature sensor can cause issues with the air-fuel mixture concentration.

Required documents include the driver's ID card and its photocopy, the driver's license, the physical condition certificate, and a photo receipt. For out-of-town renewals, no residency or temporary residence documents are required. Additionally, ensure all traffic violations are settled before renewing your driver's license. The penalty points must be cleared before renewal; otherwise, the new license will not be issued.

How to Deal with the Battery Light On After Driving Through Water

This light is the battery charging indicator. It may illuminate briefly when driving through water due to the generator getting wet and causing a temporary short circuit that stops it from generating electricity. Once the water dries, it should be fine, so you can continue using the vehicle without worry. When a fault light comes on, the car's computer will record a fault code. A technician should inspect the vehicle to determine its condition. Check whether the engine oil has been contaminated with water. If the vehicle stalls abnormally while driving through water, do not attempt to restart it. Instead, call the 4S dealership or your insurance company immediately.
