The engine oil has reached the lower limit or there is a malfunction. Below is a detailed introduction to the role of engine oil in a car: 1. Cooling: Engine oil can take heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator to cool the engine. 2. Cleaning: Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, and flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. 3. Sealing and leak prevention: Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. The battery light is on when the car is not started and goes off after ignition; the oil can light being on indicates a lack of engine oil.

What are the reasons for a car suddenly stalling while driving?

The reasons for a car suddenly stalling while driving are: 1. Electrical circuit failure: Stalling due to low-voltage power interruption during driving. Check the ignition and starter switches as well as the fuse box; 2. Low-voltage circuit short circuit causing stalling: In this case, the stalling is intermittent. Inspect the low-voltage circuits; 3. Component failure: Issues with the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stalls after a while, then starts again and stalls once more; 4. Fuel system failure: Damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car is difficult to restart; 5. Ignition system: Problems with the engine overheating or anti-knock system can also cause stalling.

Which Automatic Transmission is Stable and Reliable?

The most stable and durable transmission does not yet have a definitive conclusion. With advancements in technology, the durability and reliability of transmissions are gradually improving. Common transmissions on the market today include MT (manual transmission), AT (mechanical automatic transmission), CVT (continuously variable transmission), DCT (dual-clutch transmission), and AMT (automated manual transmission), among others. MT Manual Transmission: Also known as a manual gearbox. It requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission and use the foot to control the clutch engagement level to alter the gear ratio, thereby achieving gear shifting. The clutch must be depressed to shift the gear lever. If the driver is skilled, a car with a manual transmission can accelerate and overtake faster than an automatic transmission vehicle and is also more fuel-efficient. The advantages of this transmission are its affordability and the driving pleasure it offers. AT Mechanical Transmission: It uses planetary gear sets and a torque converter for gear shifting, replacing the traditional clutch and freeing the driver's left foot. It can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as speed, throttle, and driver commands. Due to its low fuel consumption and economic efficiency, it is favored by Japanese automakers. However, the downside of this transmission is the noticeable gearshift jerkiness. It can control the clutch engagement and disengagement, tasks originally performed manually by the driver. CVT Continuously Variable Transmission: Unlike MT and AT transmissions, CVT does not use gear-based transmission but connects the input and output shafts via a steel belt to achieve gear ratio conversion. This design gives CVT transmissions the smoothest performance among all transmission types, along with a simple structure and easy maintenance. However, the long-standing criticism of CVT transmissions is their lower transmission efficiency and inability to handle excessive loads, which can lead to slipping.

What are the reasons why the Tiguan trunk lock cannot lock?

Tiguan trunk lock cannot lock, the reasons and solutions are as follows: Reasons: In order for the rear hatch to automatically rise after pressing the opening switch, excessively stiff spring rods are used; the matching between the closing limit rubber block and the locking mechanism is inappropriate; the trunk control circuit is faulty; the trunk hydraulic support rod is faulty. Solutions: In fact, when facing the situation where the trunk cannot be closed, most of what can be done is to try to increase the force to close the trunk tightly. However, don't blindly believe that 'force creates miracles.' If the trunk really cannot be locked due to the above reasons, force will only worsen the damage. What the car owner should do is to drive the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection.

How to Determine a Vehicle's Age?

Vehicle age can be determined by checking the manufacturing date, typically located at the lower part of the co-driver's door. It primarily consists of a 17-character alphanumeric code. The vehicle identification plate is a label that indicates the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer's name. The 17 characters on the vehicle identification plate represent the following: 1. The first character indicates the country or region where the vehicle was manufactured; 2. Characters 2 to 3 represent the manufacturer and vehicle type; 3. Characters 4 to 8 provide information about the vehicle's category, series, body type, and engine type; 4. The 9th character is the check digit; 5. The 10th character indicates the manufacturing year of the vehicle; 6. The 11th character is the assembly plant code; 7. Characters 12 to 17 represent the vehicle's production serial number.

At what speed on the highway will you be caught by speed cameras?

Driving speed exceeding the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign will be photographed. Assumption: If the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign is no more than 120 kilometers per hour, then when the car reaches a speed of 121 kilometers per hour, it is considered speeding and will be photographed. Penalties and point deductions for some ordinary vehicles outside the highway are as follows: Speeding within 10% of the prescribed speed limit: No penalty for now. Speeding more than 10% but less than 20% of the prescribed speed limit: A fine of 50 yuan and 3 points deducted. Speeding more than 20% but less than 30% of the prescribed speed limit: A fine of 50 yuan and 6 points deducted.
