4 signs your car is about to die

If you notice the following signs, then you should probably take your beloved car to the scrap yard immediately.

1. Check-engine light stays on

Many experienced car experts say that when your check-engine light is constantly on, it means you need to go to the garage immediately. The light is constantly on, indicating that your car is in an emergency. Because then the engine will die immediately, you know the result, right?

2. Always out of oil

Engine oil is supposed to lubricate your car’s engine. And if you find a leak in the exhaust pipe or on the road, you should fix it right away before it’s too late. However, if you haven’t changed your oil in about 5 years and the oil has leaked into surrounding parts, this is a sign that your car is “beyond repair.”

3. Lots of toxic smoke and strange smell

Many people mistakenly believe that car exhaust fumes are completely normal. However, when the smoke is thick, accompanied by strange colors and smells, you should pay close attention.

Blue smoke: Blue smoke from your car means your car is burning oil. Blue smoke usually appears when starting or accelerating, at this point what you need to do is replace the gaskets on the car's pistons.

Thick white smoke: This is an almost certain sign of a faulty engine head gasket. When you see this sign, you should quickly take your car in for repairs to avoid complete engine failure. White smoke coming from the exhaust pipe also indicates that your car’s transmission fluid is being burned, which can lead to a stuck gearshift lever.

Black smoke: Black smoke is especially dangerous. When your car emits black smoke, you run the risk of catching fire along with it. In addition, there is another common cause when your car emits black smoke, which is because the engine has burned too much fuel while moving. At this time, you should adjust the carburetor or re-tune the map on the electronic fuel injection.

4. Broken gearbox

When the transmission gears slip, your car may suddenly shift gears while driving and push into N. This is potentially very dangerous, and can cause the driver to lose control while driving.
