The reasons for the engine making noise after parking the car are: 1. Thermal expansion and contraction of the metal components inside the three-way catalytic converter; 2. Thermal expansion and contraction at the front end of the exhaust pipe and the flexible joint; 3. Severe wear of the water pump blade bearings due to prolonged operation, erosion by coolant, and scale buildup. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. Press the brake to slow down until the car stops; 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral); 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine; 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power; 5. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park); 6. Release the foot brake; 7. Turn the key back, turn off the power, and remove the key.

Can I Still Take the Test After Failing Subject 2 Five Times?

You cannot retake the test after failing Subject 2 five times. Here are the precautions for taking Subject 2: 1. Reverse Parking: The main points for deduction in reverse parking include pressing the line while reversing, the car not entering the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not following the prescribed route. Reverse parking must be completed within 210 seconds; exceeding the time limit results in failure, and not following the sequence also leads to failure. Pay attention to the 30cm margin when reversing. 2. Parallel Parking: The main points for deduction in parallel parking involve the turn signal, the 30cm margin, and pressing the line. 3. Right-angle Turn: The main points for deduction in the right-angle turn are the turn signal and pressing the line. Operating the turn signal incorrectly after entering the test area deducts 10 points.

What are the reasons for a battery not charging?

The reasons for a battery not charging include: dried-up electrolyte in the battery, broken plates, short-circuited plates, etc. The most common reason is plate sulfation, which hinders the normal flow of electrons, leading to a decrease in battery capacity, inability to function properly, and gradual aging. In this case, the battery needs to be replaced. The method for removing the battery is as follows: 1. The battery is located in the engine compartment. First, open the compartment and locate the battery. 2. Remove the battery terminal protective cover and the nuts on the fixed bracket. 3. First disconnect the negative terminal, then remove the positive terminal. The negative terminal is disconnected first to avoid short circuits, as it is connected to the vehicle body. 4. After removing all the fixing screws on the battery, the old battery can be taken out.

What to Do If You Scrape Someone Else's Car and Drive Away

Leaving the scene after scraping someone else's car is considered hit-and-run and may result in legal consequences. Here are the specific details regarding hit-and-run incidents: 1. Accident Handling Period: The maximum handling period for minor traffic accidents is 5 days. The public security traffic management department may detain the vehicle for a maximum of 40 days. The period for determining responsibility is within 5 days for minor accidents, 15 days for general accidents, and 20 days for major or severe accidents. 2. Unaware Hit-and-Run: A hit-and-run refers to the act of fleeing the scene of a traffic accident to evade legal responsibility.

What is the method for bleeding brakes?

Automotive brake bleeding requires two people to complete. One person needs to sit in the driver's seat and press the brake pedal with their foot to generate brake pressure. The other person should be under the vehicle to perform the bleeding. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Method for pressing the brake pedal: The person sitting in the driver's seat should press the brake pedal firmly and hold it down without releasing their foot until the person under the vehicle finishes bleeding the air. If there is a significant amount of air in the brake system, making the brake pedal feel soft, the person should quickly press and release the pedal, then firmly hold it down while the person under the vehicle begins bleeding. 2. Method for bleeding: After the person in the vehicle has pressed and held the brake pedal, the person under the vehicle should use a wrench to loosen the bleeder valve on the brake caliper to release the air, then tighten the bleeder valve and inform the person pressing the pedal to release and press it again. Repeat this process until the brake fluid coming out of the bleeder valve is free of air.

What Causes the Engine to Sound Loud in a Car?

Here are the reasons why a car's engine may sound loud and the corresponding solutions: 1. If pressing the accelerator does not result in obvious acceleration and the entire car emits a "buzzing" sound, it may be due to a clogged air filter or exhaust pipe, a problematic oil strainer, or poor sealing of rubber rings. This prevents the oil pump from properly drawing up oil and instead sucks in a large amount of air, leading to insufficient lubrication in the engine system, especially in the hydraulic valve lifters, which can produce a metallic knocking sound. If the oil strainer is clogged, it cannot properly draw oil into the engine lubrication system, resulting in poor lubrication. 2. If the engine emits a "hissing" sound, experiences a drop in power, shakes, and the malfunction indicator light turns on, it may be due to a vacuum tube leak. Upon hearing this sound, the engine will quickly lose power. Check for engine overheating, inspect the cooling system, exhaust system blockages, and vacuum tube leaks or breaks. 3. If there is noise from the exhaust pipe or very loud noises coming from it, the engine may also sound loud. Sometimes similar noises may come from the front section, with the main issue lying in the exhaust system. Check for a damaged exhaust pipe gasket or a cracked exhaust pipe.
