Car with added roof rack cannot pass annual inspection. Self-installed roof racks alter the vehicle's appearance, thus failing the inspection. Below are the relevant details: 1. Motor vehicle annual inspection includes an exterior check, examining whether the vehicle's lights are damaged, if the body appearance matches the original, if the suspension has been altered, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Additional installations that affect the vehicle's exterior appearance, such as roof racks, body kits, spoilers, modified exhaust pipes, or larger tires, will not pass the inspection. 2. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained official license plates and registration, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation.

I've been driving for over ten years and installed a roof rack on my SUV a few years ago, which passed the annual inspection smoothly last year. The inspection station mainly checks if the roof rack is factory-approved or meets standard height requirements, such as not exceeding 50 centimeters above the car roof, and it must be securely fixed. My rack was a branded product purchased online with safety certification, so there were no issues. However, if it's non-compliant—like obstructing visibility or being overweight—it will definitely fail the annual inspection and may even result in a fine. It's advisable to consult a 4S shop or the vehicle management office for approval before making modifications, and don’t skimp on quality to save money. While roof racks are great for extra cargo space, the key for annual inspection is to check in advance to avoid last-minute mishaps.

Is the Sehol A5 Engine Domestically Produced?

The Sehol A5 engine is developed and manufactured by Jianghuai Automobile, making it a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Sehol A5 is HFC4GB2.4E, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 210 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 150. For daily maintenance of the Sehol A5 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
