Here is an introduction about water dripping from the car's exhaust pipe: 1. When water vapor is emitted and evaporates, water may spray out because the water vapor condenses into water droplets inside the exhaust pipe. Sometimes, you may also see white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe; this usually occurs when a car is started for the first time in winter or during the rainy season. However, once the engine temperature rises, the white smoke will disappear. This situation is not a cause for concern and does not require maintenance. 2. If the exhaust pipe emits black smoke or even drips 'black water,' this phenomenon indicates that the engine is burning oil. Be cautious and remember to check the oil level before going out. If the exhaust pipe emits black smoke after the engine temperature rises, it indicates that the cylinder pressure is too low or some cylinders are not working. This should be checked and resolved, and it is necessary to go to a repair station for maintenance. 3. If the exhaust pipe emits a large amount of water vapor or white smoke while the engine is running, check whether there is water in the fuel tank, whether the cylinder gasket is damaged, whether the cylinder block has cracks, and whether the cylinder sleeve sealing ring is in good condition, etc.

What are the symptoms of a broken transmission?

Transmission failure symptoms include: 1. Slow response, automatic transmission unable to upshift; 2. Burnt smell, engine stalling when shifting gears; 3. Difficulty shifting gears, gear jumping, vehicle not moving after shifting; 4. Transmission fluid leakage. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output shaft and input shaft. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also having a power output mechanism. Most transmission mechanisms use ordinary gear transmission, while some use planetary gear transmission. Based on the method of gear ratio change, transmissions can be divided into three types: stepped, continuously variable, and integrated.

What is the difference between a radar detector and a dash cam?

The difference between a radar detector and a dash cam lies in their functions: A radar detector is an in-car device designed to alert drivers in advance to the presence of speed cameras or radar guns, helping prevent speeding fines and penalty points by allowing drivers to prepare accordingly and enjoy their drive. On the other hand, a dash cam is an instrument that records video, audio, and related information during vehicle travel, capturing the entire driving process to provide evidence in case of traffic accidents. Dash cams can be categorized based on vehicle type and functionality into: high-definition dash cams, mini dash cams, night vision dash cams, wide-angle dash cams, dual-lens dash cams, multi-functional all-in-one devices, and glasses-style multi-functional dash cams.
