For regions that have already implemented the China 6 standard, the deadline for licensing China 5 vehicles is the implementation date of the local China 6 standard. Some areas may have delayed policies for licensing China 5 vehicles. Below is relevant information about China 6: 1. The national schedule for the first phase of the China 6 emission standard (China 6a) was originally set for July 1, 2020, but most regions in the country have advanced it to July 1, 2019. It can be anticipated that more regions will implement the China 6 emission standard ahead of schedule in the future. 2. The China 6 standard, also known as the 'National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles,' is formulated to enforce environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. Currently, the 'China 6 standard' is divided into two phases: 'China 6a' and 'China 6b.' China 6a serves as a transition to China 6b, with stricter emission requirements for carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM particulate matter.

Oh, I was thinking of buying a China 5 standard car the other day, but found out that most big cities basically don’t allow new license plates for them anymore. I live in Beijing, and I heard the policy changed at the end of last year—the DMV said they won’t issue plates for newly purchased China 5 cars, it has to be China 6b. After checking some info, I found that many first-tier cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen have the same rule, due to strict environmental requirements. If you’re in a smaller place, like a county-level city or remote western regions, there might still be a chance. For example, a friend told me a certain county in Gansu still allows registration. My advice is to check the local DMV’s notice online or call them before buying a car, so you don’t waste money. Policies are tightening, and new energy vehicles are becoming mainstream—getting new China 5 cars registered is getting harder and harder.

Can You Turn On the Air Conditioning When the Car Is Parked?

Generally, you can turn on the air conditioning when the car is parked, but it should not be left on for too long, preferably around 15 minutes. Here are some relevant points about using air conditioning while parked: 1. Disadvantages of using air conditioning while parked: In a relatively enclosed environment, such as in a garage, it may lead to carbon dioxide poisoning. It's best to use the air conditioning in open or well-ventilated areas and leave a small gap in the window. 2. Interior temperature: Normally, the temperature inside the car should be about 5°C to 6°C different from the outside temperature. Therefore, when adjusting the temperature, it's advisable for the owner to compare it with the outdoor temperature before making adjustments.

How many hours does it take for car paint to dry completely in summer?

Car paint takes about three hours to dry completely in summer. Here is some related information about car painting: 1. Car painting repair: It usually takes a day. If the scratches are not severe, a quick spray method can be used, which takes 3-4 hours, allowing you to pick up your car in the morning or afternoon. If the painting is done at a repair shop, the lack of formal procedures can save a significant amount of time, completing the job in 2-3 hours. 2. Checking the smoothness of the paint surface: For some car owners, if they go to a low-quality repair shop, after bodywork and painting, the entire car's paint surface may be uneven, and there may be issues like pinholes or impurities on the paint surface. In severe cases, paint runs may even occur. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners choose a guaranteed 4S shop or repair shop when getting their car painted.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights on the Tiguan?

Tiguan fog light operation method: First, rotate the headlight switch to the on position, then pull the switch outward. Pulling once activates the front fog lights, and pulling twice activates both front and rear fog lights. The prerequisite for turning on the front and rear fog lights is that the parking lights must be on; otherwise, the fog lights will not illuminate. While fog lights help make the vehicle more visible to other drivers and pedestrians, this does not mean they should be used at all times, especially when both front and rear fog lights are turned on simultaneously. The Tiguan is a compact SUV model under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4506 mm in length, 1809 mm in width, and 1685 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684 mm.

What are the causes and solutions for sunroof leakage in the Tiguan?

Tiguan sunroof leakage can be attributed to three main causes: 1. Blockage of the sunroof drainage outlets by debris, preventing rainwater from draining and causing it to seep into the vehicle interior. 2. Damage to the sunroof sealing strip, resulting in poor edge sealing and allowing rainwater to enter the cabin. 3. Gaps in the Tiguan's sunroof frame, leading to rainwater infiltration. Solutions for Tiguan sunroof leakage are as follows: 1. Pour some water into the sunroof drainage channel and check if water flows out under the front tires. If water flows out, it indicates the drainage outlets are clear; use a towel to clean the outlets thoroughly to ensure proper rainwater drainage to the ground. 2. If the sunroof sealing strip is damaged, replace it with a new one. Remove the front and rear sealing strips of the sunroof glass, then carefully adhere the new strip along the perimeter of the vehicle's edges.
