If the car runs out of gas on the roadside, the owner can get out and ask passing cars for help. Generally, some drivers are willing to lend a hand by providing some fuel. If the vehicle is completely out of gas and cannot start at all, you can call a roadside assistance service to request a fuel delivery.

Why Doesn't the Car Fan Turn On When the Engine Starts?

There are several reasons why the car fan does not turn on when the engine starts: 1. The coolant temperature has not reached the required level: Most modern car radiator fans operate based on electronic temperature control. Therefore, the fan will only start working normally when the coolant temperature reaches the specified level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan will not turn on. Hence, if the radiator fan fails to operate, the first thing to check is whether the coolant temperature meets the required standard. 2. Relay malfunction: If the coolant temperature is appropriate but the radiator fan still does not work, the issue might lie with the fan relay. A faulty relay can prevent the radiator fan from functioning. 3. Thermostat switch problem: Occasionally, the thermostat switch may malfunction, which can also affect the operation of the radiator fan. Therefore, it is important to inspect this component as well.

Can I transfer ownership of a used car without a temporary residence permit?

Without a temporary residence permit, you cannot complete the ownership transfer procedures for a used car. Below are the key points to note for used car ownership transfer: 1. No car insurance or expired insurance: If the vehicle being transferred has no insurance or the insurance has expired, the new owner should purchase insurance as needed. Terminate the original owner's insurance policy and arrange new insurance under the new owner's name. 2. Transfer considerations: When transferring ownership, you need to bring documents such as the original insurance policy, vehicle registration certificate, and vehicle transfer invoice. For insurance transfer, both the buyer and seller must visit the insurance company with the original insurance documents to update the policyholder information. Compulsory traffic insurance (CTPL) policies cannot be canceled—only transferred. Vehicles without CTPL cannot be transferred.

Why does the engine shake in neutral gear?

Car engine shaking in neutral gear can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Poor quality gasoline: This usually occurs when low-quality gasoline is added at non-standard gas stations, resulting in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture during engine operation and triggering the engine warning light. While this doesn't affect driving safety, it may cause some degree of damage to the engine. 2. Oxygen sensor failure: Modern vehicles are equipped with two oxygen sensors, one before and one after the three-way catalytic converter. The front oxygen sensor detects the air-fuel ratio under different engine operating conditions, and the ECU adjusts fuel injection and calculates ignition timing based on this signal. The rear sensor mainly monitors the performance of the three-way catalytic converter. Therefore, if the oxygen sensor is damaged or the sensor connector is damaged or loose, it may cause the air-fuel mixture to become too lean or too rich, triggering the warning light.

What Causes the Exhaust Pipe to Make Abnormal Noises After Driving Through Water?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe after driving through water: 1. Damaged muffler or exhaust pipe: Symptoms include hearing abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe when stepping on the accelerator pedal, with no abnormal driving conditions but increased fuel consumption. Sometimes, noises may also come from the front section. 2. Aged heat shield: Symptoms include abnormal noises from under the engine during low-speed driving or when accelerating, especially in colder weather. The vehicle needs to be lifted to check if there is a heat shield between the exhaust pipe and the ground, which may be caused by its aging. 3. Damaged exhaust pipe: Symptoms include abnormal noises when turning or moving forward, often originating from the front drive shaft joint that has been damaged.
