Solutions for when the car displays a code: The flashing of the car's code light indicates a gasoline-related issue. Check the front and rear oxygen sensors. Early signs of failure include the engine fault light staying on or occasionally flashing on the dashboard. The car may run temporarily, but prolonged neglect will prevent the electronic fuel injection system's computer from receiving oxygen concentration information from the exhaust pipe, disabling feedback control of the air-fuel ratio. This will increase engine fuel consumption and exhaust pollution. Therefore, it is essential to promptly address the issue or replace the faulty parts. The car's code light is part of the vehicle's detection chip system. If the chip cannot be detected, the dashboard will illuminate this indicator. When this light is on, the car cannot be started. Repeated attempts to ignite may lock the engine, commonly known as engine anti-theft protection.

Do Cracks on the Tire Edge Require Replacement?

Tire replacement is required if the cracks on the edge exceed 6 millimeters. Below are specific guidelines for tire replacement: 1. Outer edge wear: If significant wear is observed on the outer edge of the tire when viewed in the direction of travel, it indicates that the tire is frequently underinflated, meaning insufficient pressure. Underinflated tires are particularly unsafe for driving in rainy conditions, as their grip is significantly reduced. 2. Convex and wavy wear: If the tire's contact area shows convex wear on both sides and wavy wear around the circumference, it suggests severe wear in components such as the shock absorbers, bearings, and ball joints. 3. Uniform surface wear: Once the tread is worn out, the tire's lifespan is over, and replacement is necessary. The tread also plays a crucial role in dispersing water from the road surface, maintaining the vehicle's grip. If the wear reaches the standard tread depth (typically 1.6 mm for tires under 175 mm in width and 2 mm for wider tires), replacement is required.

How to Renew Insurance for a Motorcycle After It Lapses

Directly contact an insurance company to purchase a policy. Below is supplementary information regarding motorcycle insurance renewal: 1. Renewal Discounts: As long as the insurance lapse does not exceed three months, you can still enjoy discounts. 2. Consequences of Lapsed Insurance: According to China's traffic laws, if caught by traffic police without compulsory traffic insurance, you will face a fine of double the premium, be required to purchase compulsory insurance, and have your vehicle impounded. 3. Compulsory Insurance: Motorcycle compulsory insurance is a mandatory liability insurance provided by insurance companies to compensate victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Therefore, if the motorcycle's compulsory insurance expires without renewal, the owner may face substantial compensation in the event of an accident.

What is the normal resistance value of an oxygen sensor?

Oxygen sensor resistance values generally range between 0.1-0.9, with the rear oxygen sensor having smaller fluctuations than the front oxygen sensor. However, values may vary depending on brand, model, year, and emission requirements, so specific vehicle models should be considered. Additional information: The following is a related introduction about oxygen sensors: 1. Front oxygen sensor: The front oxygen sensor is installed in front of the three-way catalytic converter and is used to adjust fuel injection. 2. Rear oxygen sensor: The rear oxygen sensor mainly detects the performance of the three-way catalytic converter. The detection method involves the engine control unit comparing the oxygen content measured by the front and rear oxygen sensors. Normally, the front oxygen sensor's signal is higher than the rear oxygen sensor's. If both sensors show the same signal, it indicates that the three-way catalytic converter has failed.

Is it acceptable to place the temporary license plate only on the front windshield?

Temporary license plates must be affixed to the windshield; not adhering them to the glass is not permitted. If temporary plates are not installed as required, traffic police can impose penalties under the regulations for intentionally obscuring, damaging, or improperly installing motor vehicle license plates, including fines and deducting 12 points. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: There are two temporary license plates. One should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. 2. Affixing Position: The placement of temporary license plates is explicitly stipulated by law in China. Specific details can be found in the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Motor Vehicle License Plates." Previously, the law required "placement," but now it mandates "affixing."

Where is the fuel filler switch on the Volkswagen Lavida Tour?

The Volkswagen Lavida Tour does not have a fuel filler switch inside the car. Its fuel tank cover is linked to the central locking system. After unlocking the central lock, press the left side of the fuel tank cover to open it automatically when refueling. Remember to press it back after refueling, and it will lock along with the car when you lock the vehicle. Below are some precautions regarding refueling: 1. When refueling the vehicle, ensure the fuel nozzle is properly aligned with the fuel filler opening to prevent fuel from spilling or splashing out of the tank. 2. Do not enter the vehicle while refueling. If you must enter the vehicle, close the door and touch a metal surface before touching the fuel nozzle again to discharge any static electricity from your body, as static sparks could potentially cause a fire during refueling.
