Engine thumping sounds may be caused by cold start abnormal noise and carbon canister solenoid valve operation noise. Below are detailed explanations of the causes and corresponding solutions: Cold Start Abnormal Noise: Many people hear a "clicking" noise from the engine compartment during a cold start. This "clicking" noise occurs because the oil pump has not yet fully built up oil pressure during a cold start, causing insufficient lubrication of various components. Solution: Under normal circumstances, the clicking noise will disappear after the engine has been running for a while. Carbon Canister Solenoid Valve Operation Noise: The function of the carbon canister solenoid valve is to open the solenoid valve between the carbon canister and the intake manifold after the engine starts, allowing the gasoline vapor adsorbed in the carbon canister to enter the cylinder along with air for combustion. This not only reduces emissions but also lowers fuel consumption. This component may also produce a clicking sound during operation. Solution: This is a normal working phenomenon and does not require any action.

Will points be deducted for not using turn signals?

Not using turn signals or using them incorrectly will result in a 10-point deduction. The specific regulations are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a 10-point deduction. Turning within less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a 10-point deduction. There are 6 instances in Subject 2 where turn signals are required: 1. Activate the left turn signal when starting the vehicle. 2. Activate the left turn signal when starting on a slope. 3. Activate the right turn signal when pulling over for parallel parking, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing. 4. Activate the left turn signal before shifting into reverse for parallel parking, as the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right during reversing, causing the front of the car to shift left. 5. Shift into drive and activate the left turn signal before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, then turn it off promptly after exiting. 6. Activate the left turn signal when entering the right-angle turn zone and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The C1 and C2 license tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll collection. The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 license tests include: pole parking, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, narrow gate passing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain/fog conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Can the cover of the driver's license be replaced?

The cover of the driver's license can be replaced. The cover is only for protecting the driver's license and facilitating its storage and use. As long as the driver's license is genuine and can be correctly identified, it is acceptable. Specific reasons: The cover of the driver's license only serves a protective function. The useful parts of the driver's license are the original and duplicate copies, which must be carried when driving a vehicle. The cover can be freely replaced with a preferred style. Penalties for not carrying the original or duplicate: Deduct 1 point from the driver's license, and issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may be detained until the violation is rectified. The original copy records the driver's name, address, license number, permitted vehicle types, and initial issuance date. The duplicate copy records the license file number and important information such as the probationary period and renewal date. Relevant regulations: The "Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses'" has been approved by the executive meeting of the Minister of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. Article 63 states that if a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver shall apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuance location or another location.

Is it necessary to repair a broken urea pump?

It is very necessary to repair a damaged urea pump. When the urea pump fails and stops working, the engine's power output will be restricted. Methods to determine repair: The simplest way to determine if it needs repair is if an SCR fault warning is issued. Additionally, you can listen to see if the urea pump motor has a rotating sound; if not, it indicates damage. Working states: The urea pump has two working states: supply and emptying. When supplying liquid to the urea injection system, the motor drives the supply pump to transfer the urea solution from the urea tank to the pressure chamber. Part of the urea solution is used for injection, while another part flows back to the urea tank through the throttle hole. Precautions: In low-temperature environments, to prevent pipe blockage, the urea pump needs to empty the pressure chamber. The controller will automatically determine whether it enters the emptying state. At this time, the supply pump stops working, and the switch valve opens, allowing the reverse pump to draw the remaining urea solution in the pressure chamber back into the urea tank.

Can I Still Renew My Driver's License If I Fail the Vision Test During the Physical Examination?

If you fail the vision test during the physical examination for driver's license renewal, you cannot renew your license. If your vision does not meet the required standards, you can correct it to the specified level. If correction is not possible but you meet the conditions for other permitted vehicle types, you may apply for a downgrade in the permitted vehicle type. If correction is not possible and you do not meet the requirements for any permitted vehicle type, you must apply to the vehicle management office to cancel your driver's license. Vision requirements for a driver's license: Applicants for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart in both eyes. Applicants for other permitted vehicle types must have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart in both eyes. Those with uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 5.0 in their better eye and a horizontal visual field of 150 degrees may apply for a driver's license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Where to renew the license: Apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office outside the original issuing location. When applying, you must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver and the motor vehicle driver's license.
