BenTeng and Great Wall are definitely not from the same family. As an auto enthusiast who has studied domestic brands for years, I can confirm that BenTeng is the 'biological son' of FAW Group—a state-owned enterprise with solid roots, headquartered in Changchun, mainly producing family sedans like the BenTeng T77. Great Wall, on the other hand, has a completely different story. It originated as a purely private automaker based in Baoding, Hebei, specializing in SUVs, with hit models like the Haval H6 and Tank 300 under its belt. The two manufacturers follow entirely different technical routes: BenTeng prefers modifying Mazda platforms, while Great Wall relentlessly focuses on independent R&D. Their sales channels don’t overlap either, and their maintenance parts systems are entirely separate. At best, they’re rivals competing within the domestic auto sector, with no known collaborative projects between them.

What is the reason why the Sagitar remote control cannot raise and lower the windows with one click?

It is a problem with the window regulator, a fault in the lifting switch and circuit, or damage to the regulator itself. The relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Introduction: If the window is completely inoperable, it may be a switch failure. If it is a switch failure, it can only be replaced. 2. Core component: The core component of the power window is the window regulator. For car window lifting issues, the reason for the power window switch's unsteady operation is often the depletion of oil in the door's internal lifter. The inner cover should be removed and oil added. If the electronic device is not working, checking the fuse is common knowledge, and a thorough inspection of the fuse used for the power window is necessary.

How to Check China 5 and China 6 Emission Standards?

Methods to check China 5 and China 6 emission standards include: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label; 2. Log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center for inquiry; 3. Check the vehicle's factory certificate; 4. Make a rough judgment based on the year the vehicle was registered; 5. Bring the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management office for inquiry. China 5 and China 6 refer to the national standards for vehicle exhaust emissions. The larger the number, the more environmentally friendly the vehicle's exhaust is, the later the standard was issued, and the stricter the requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction in vehicles. Emission standards impose strict limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter in vehicle emissions, aiming to reduce and prevent environmental pollution caused by vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health.

Are Front Shock Absorbers Left and Right Specific?

Front shock absorbers are indeed left and right specific, and they are usually marked with clear "L" and "R" indicators for identification. Besides their primary function of vibration damping, front shock absorbers also serve as the mounting points for the vehicle's front anti-roll bar. Swapping the left and right positions of the front shock absorbers would alter the mounting points of the anti-roll bar, leaving its left and right supports with no place to install. Signs of damaged front shock absorbers include: 1. Unusual noises from the shock absorbers when driving on bumpy roads; 2. Oil leakage on the exterior of the shock absorbers; 3. Excessive body bouncing and instability when driving over uneven surfaces; 4. Overheating of the shock absorber casing after driving.

How often should the external fuel filter be replaced?

The external fuel filter should be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Fuel filters are divided into internal and external types, and due to different installation methods, their replacement cycles vary. The fuel filter employs a filtration method to remove impurities from gasoline, protecting components such as the fuel pump, fuel injector, cylinder liner, and piston rings, reducing mechanical wear, preventing fuel system blockages, ensuring stable engine operation, and enhancing vehicle safety. The consequences of not replacing the fuel filter include: 1. Failure to replace the fuel filter can lead to clogged fuel injectors due to impurities, resulting in reduced power; 2. Causing poor fuel flow and increased fuel consumption; 3. Making it difficult to filter impurities from gasoline, leading to incomplete combustion and carbon deposits; 4. Severe clogging of the fuel filter, making the car difficult or impossible to start.

How Long After Default Will the Car Be Repossessed?

There is no clear regulation, but typically if the payment is overdue for more than three consecutive months, the car will be impounded and then auctioned, and your credit will also be affected. 1. Bank measures: The bank will continuously send people to urge repayment of the loan, and you will have to bear high penalty interest. If the bank files a lawsuit, it is very likely to apply to the court for the preservation of your various assets, such as real estate, cars, deposits, stocks, etc. 2. Loan default: Loan default usually refers to the phenomenon where, after the loan matures, the borrower fails to repay the principal and interest of the loan to the lending bank within the agreed loan period without having completed the relevant extension or refinancing procedures, resulting in the loan exceeding the agreed term.
