Audi always displaying fog light fault codes requires removing the fog light grille, taking down the fog light, and checking whether the plug and bulb are damaged. Introduction to fog lights: Fog lights (foglamp), also commonly referred to as spotlights. As the name suggests, their primary purpose is to ensure the driver's visibility in adverse weather conditions and to make sure others can see them. However, many manufacturers now install fog lights merely to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the front bumper, often using low-quality fog lights. Similar to headlights, besides replacing them with brighter fog lights, opting for a pair of HID xenon fog lights is also an excellent choice. Attention to fog light installation position: It is important to note that fog lights should only be installed below the bumper, at the lowest point of the vehicle body closest to the ground, to ensure their effectiveness. If installed too high, the light cannot penetrate rain and fog to illuminate the road conditions (fog is generally thinner below 1 meter), which can easily lead to hazards.

Why does the car vibrate at idle speed?

Car idle vibration is caused by engine carbon deposits, aging or carbon buildup in spark plugs, dirty engine throttle, poor fuel flow, or ignition system failure. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Engine carbon deposits result from various reasons, but most are due to poor driving habits of the owner. Components such as ignition coils, spark plugs, and high-voltage wires have their service life. Once problems arise, they can lead to poor ignition system performance, resulting in idle vibration. 2. Spark plug carbon deposits: Among these, spark plug carbon deposits are particularly severe. This requires the owner to check if there is carbon buildup in the spark plugs. If there is excessive carbon buildup, replace them regularly. Ignition system failures should be addressed promptly, as severe cases can cause the engine to fail to start or even suddenly stall during driving, leading to unnecessary trouble.

Is a Driver's License Required for Car Loans?

Car loans do not necessarily require a driver's license, but most banks now generally request to see one because banks typically only allow the loan applicant to be the car purchaser to minimize the bank's risk exposure. Auto loans use the purchased vehicle as direct collateral, with real estate serving as supplementary proof of repayment capability. This is a necessary risk control measure for bank loans. Generally, only the applicant is allowed to take out the loan for purchasing a car, and one cannot obtain a loan to buy a car for someone else, as this would make it difficult for the bank to manage the associated risks. Requirements for auto loans: Applicants must be Chinese citizens aged 18 or older with full legal capacity, have a stable income and occupation, possess variable assets, maintain a minimum down payment (as specified by the bank) in their savings account during the loan application period, and provide guarantee materials to the bank, such as personal household registration documents and relevant liability proofs. The car buyer must agree to other requirements set by the bank. If the applicant is a corporate legal entity, they must demonstrate the ability to repay the loan. During the loan period, the amount deposited in the bank's accounting department must not be less than the down payment for the car loan, and the applicant must provide an approved guarantee. Documents required for installment car purchase applications include: borrower's ID and marital status proof; proof of occupation and income issued by a recognized authority; a purchase agreement or contract signed with a dealer designated by the lender; deposit receipt or down payment proof meeting the minimum requirement; for property mortgage or pledge, provide a list of collateral, ownership proof, and consent from the owner (including co-owners) along with a valuation report from an authorized agency; if a third-party guarantee is involved, submit a written guarantee agreement, creditworthiness documents, and a certain percentage of deposit; any additional documents required by the lender.

Should a Grille Guard Be Installed with an Insect Screen?

Whether to install an insect screen depends on the owner's personal needs. Here are specific details about grille guard insect screens: 1. Main Function: To block leaves, insects, gravel, and other debris from hitting the radiator through the front bumper gaps, protecting the radiator from damage and keeping it clean. 2. Principle: The screen is usually very fine and installed in front of the radiator, effectively blocking many debris. However, due to its fine mesh, it can obstruct the radiator during vehicle operation. Normally, the radiator cools by utilizing the high-speed airflow generated while driving. But with this protective screen in place, the airflow is significantly reduced.

How to Use a Car Jack?

Car jacks should be used to lift the vehicle from underneath. Below are the specific details about car jacks: Types: Scissor jacks: This type of rack-and-pinion jack has a relatively low load-bearing capacity, so it is mainly equipped on small vehicles. Diamond-shaped jacks: Their support structure is more robust than that of scissor jacks. Screw jacks rely on their own threaded structure to self-lock and support the vehicle. Precautions: Secure the vehicle properly, take necessary safety warning measures, ensure the base of the jack is firmly fixed, align it with the vehicle's chassis support points, and placing a spare tire under the vehicle for added safety.
