When I was driving my Audi A4, the engine yellow light suddenly came on, which was really worrying. The most common reason is an oxygen sensor malfunction—this thing monitors emissions, and once it fails, the light turns on. Or it could be due to aging spark plugs, delayed ignition, or excessive carbon buildup. Once, I used the wrong fuel, which was of poor quality with many impurities, and it immediately triggered the yellow light. For safety, it's best to quickly use an OBD tool to read the fault code or go straight to a repair shop for inspection. Don’t delay, as risks increase if it's an oil pressure issue or an exhaust system leak. Regular maintenance can prevent many problems, such as cleaning carbon deposits and changing good engine oil—small issues turning into big ones is all too common.

How to Deal with Exhaust Pipe Gasket Leakage?

Here are the specific methods to deal with exhaust pipe leakage. 1. Use the method of wrapping copper wire at the joint to handle the leakage. Cut a section of copper wire from an old cable and wrap it around the joint gasket in a circle, similar to the way straw hats were hand-woven in the past, with each circle tightly wound around the next. The inner circle should be tighter, while the outer circle should be slightly larger and thicker than the joint gasket. 2. Compensate for the leakage by tightening the exhaust pipe joint. By combining the copper wire with the joint gasket and tightening the exhaust pipe joint gasket bolts when the engine is hot, the exhaust manifold leak can be compensated, filling the exhaust manifold gap and significantly improving the joint sealing performance. 3. Patch a piece of iron sheet over the leaking area of the exhaust pipe.

How to Add Water to the Radiator in a Highlander?

Open the hood release switch located under the Highlander's cabin to lift the hood. The radiator is positioned on the right side.

Below are precautions for adding water to the Highlander's radiator: 1. Cool down and depressurize before adding water: If the engine temperature rises excessively and the radiator water level is insufficient, immediately stop the vehicle. Keep the engine idling to allow the fan to dissipate heat—do not turn off the engine to prevent cylinder sticking. 2. Exercise caution when opening the radiator cap: Stand on the upwind side of the radiator, wrap the cap with a damp cloth, and tilt your head and body to one side while slowly opening the cap.
