There is no usage lifespan for sedans. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 3. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". 4. After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The vehicle owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

What are the reasons why a car suddenly cannot start?

Reasons why a car suddenly cannot start: 1. Dead battery: Sometimes you may find that the car cannot start normally in the morning, which is likely because the trunk was not completely closed, causing the trunk light to stay on and drain the battery; 2. Spark plug failure: Spark plugs themselves are prone to damage, and a short circuit in the high-voltage line can prevent the spark plug from igniting. Another reason is that poor-quality spark plugs can also cause the car to fail to start normally; 3. Starting circuit malfunction: When starting, there is only a slight click sound and no further response, which is caused by a stuck starting relay. To identify the cause of the fault, first check the battery to determine whether the engine's failure to start is due to insufficient battery power. To inspect the starting system, first examine the circuits in the engine starting system. Generally, the starting system's circuits include the battery, the starter motor, and the cables connecting these components.

What Causes Excessive Consumption of Car Antifreeze?

Reasons for excessive consumption of car antifreeze: 1. Cooling system leakage: Pipes or drain plugs in the cooling system may leak. These parts are relatively easy to detect. Once the leaking part is found, simply tighten or reinstall the corresponding component. 2. Damaged radiator cap: The radiator cap contains an air valve and a steam valve. If the radiator cap malfunctions, causing the steam valve to open at too low a pressure or remain constantly open, it can lead to significant loss of antifreeze. In this case, the radiator cap needs to be replaced. 3. Antifreeze not meeting usage standards: Car engines operate at high temperatures. To prevent antifreeze from boiling, its boiling point is generally above 108 degrees Celsius. Inferior antifreeze that doesn't meet the standard will boil and evaporate. It is necessary to use genuine antifreeze. 4. Engine overheating: If the engine frequently overheats, the antifreeze will often boil and vaporize in large quantities, escaping through the radiator cap's steam valve, resulting in antifreeze loss. In this situation, it is necessary to visit a repair shop to check the cause of engine overheating.

Can antifreeze of the same color be mixed?

Whether antifreeze of the same color can be mixed depends on the situation: 1. If the color is the same and the main components are almost identical, they can be mixed; 2. If the color is the same but the main components differ significantly, they should not be mixed, as this could cause a chemical reaction. The main components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is generally green, propylene glycol is red with a hint of orange, and diethylene glycol is blue. The reasons for antifreeze having different colors are: 1. To distinguish between different ratios of antifreeze—both water and antifreeze agents are colorless, making it impossible to differentiate different ratios by eye, so different dyes are added for distinction; 2. To clearly identify leaks in the antifreeze and help easily locate the leak point; 3. To easily monitor the consumption of antifreeze in the radiator and replenish it in time; 4. To prevent accidental ingestion and make it easy to distinguish from water.

What is the difference between manual transmission and automatic transmission?

Differences between manual transmission and automatic transmission: 1. Gear shifting methods differ: Manual transmission vehicles require the use of a clutch to shift gears for acceleration or deceleration; automatic transmission vehicles rely on engine speed to automatically increase vehicle speed and shift gears. 2. Fuel consumption varies: Manual transmission vehicles only need to be placed in a high gear and the throttle held to maintain speed; automatic transmission vehicles require a larger throttle to increase engine speed in order to boost vehicle speed. Common automatic transmissions include AT transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, and CVT transmissions. AT transmissions are technologically mature and widely used, offering relatively smooth gear shifting.

What to Do When Your Parked Car Gets Scratched?

If your car gets scratched while parked on the roadside, you should: 1. Call the police immediately and provide them with the approximate time, location, and details of the incident; 2. Let the traffic police find the responsible party for compensation; 3. If the traffic police cannot locate the responsible party, they should issue an accident liability determination form stating that the responsible party fled the scene, after which the car owner can file a claim with their own insurance company. To avoid the hassle of scratches, pay attention to the following when parking: 1. Try to park in a formal, supervised parking lot and keep the parking ticket safe; 2. Do not park illegally for extended periods; 3. Avoid parking in narrow or hard-to-access roadside spots; 4. Park within the marked lines, leaving enough space on both sides; 5. Park within the range of security personnel or surveillance cameras.

What Causes the Noise After the Car Engine Stops?

There are both normal and abnormal reasons for the noise after the car engine stops. Normal reasons: 1. Cooling sound of the catalytic converter: The normal working temperature of the catalytic converter is between 400 to 800 degrees. After turning off the engine, its operation gradually stops, and the temperature drops, causing the internal metal parts to expand and contract, resulting in noise. 2. Cooling sound of the exhaust pipe: During cold idle, the exhaust pipe also expands and contracts due to heat, producing noise. 3. Cooling sound of the turbo: Normally, the exhaust gas temperature reaches 600 to 700 degrees, accelerating the friction-generated heat from the turbo's rapid rotation. After turning off the engine, the heat expansion and contraction are quite noticeable, leading to noise. Abnormal reasons may include loose screws at the catalytic converter interface, damaged carbon canister solenoid valve, or poor operation of the starter motor.
