Can I drive my car to the inspection if it has passed the inspection deadline?

If your car has passed the inspection deadline, you cannot drive it to the inspection. You must arrange for a tow truck to transport it to the inspection site, as driving the vehicle yourself for inspection is not allowed. It is crucial to complete the vehicle annual inspection procedures within the specified timeframe. If the inspection is overdue for three years, the car will be deregistered and forcibly scrapped. Driving a scrapped vehicle will result in a penalty of 12 points deducted from your driver's license. The annual inspection includes the following items: 1. Emission test: This is the first step of the inspection, primarily checking if the emissions meet the standards. 2. Violation check: Verifying if the owner has any outstanding traffic violations. 3. Exterior inspection: Checking if the car's lights, suspension, sunroof, tires, and other exterior components remain unchanged. 4. On-road test: Inspecting the car's braking system, control system, lights, chassis, and other components.

As a friend who drives frequently, I also thought about this when my car's annual inspection was overdue last time. After careful consideration, it's better not to risk driving to the inspection station. According to regulations, if you drive on the road after your car's annual inspection has expired and get caught by traffic police, you will definitely face points deduction and fines. In severe cases, your car may even be towed. More importantly, there are significant safety hazards with an expired inspection—issues like brake lights not working could lead to accidents. I recommend keeping the car parked at home and directly contacting your insurance company or a partnered repair shop. They can arrange to tow the car for inspection, which is both convenient and safe. I make it a habit to perform regular maintenance precisely to avoid such awkward situations. If the inspection is overdue, it’s a good time to reflect on your car usage habits and ensure timely inspection next time. Remember, safety comes first—don’t risk big trouble just to save a few dozen bucks on towing fees.

How Far Can You Drive When the Oil Insufficiency Warning Appears?

If the dashboard indicates insufficient oil, you can drive for a short period in an emergency, but it is recommended to visit a repair facility as soon as possible. Driving with insufficient oil can cause engine overheating, increase wear, severely affect engine performance, and even lead to serious consequences such as cylinder scuffing and bearing seizure. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil.

Why does the car air conditioner sometimes blow air and sometimes not?

Sometimes it blows air and sometimes not. When the air conditioner is first turned on, everything works normally, but after a while, you can only hear the blower running, but no air comes out. The reason for this phenomenon is that the evaporator coil is frozen. The air blown by the blower must first pass through the evaporator coil to be cooled before cold air is produced. However, if a layer of ice forms on the surface of the evaporator coil, the air cannot pass through, making it seem like no air is blowing out even though the blower is still running. Causes of evaporator coil freezing: 1. Damaged temperature sensor on the evaporator coil: It fails to detect that the evaporator is about to freeze, so the compressor does not shut off and keeps running, leading to freezing. 2. Faulty variable displacement valve: Some compressors have a variable displacement valve, and if this valve is damaged, the compressor will not shut off, resulting in freezing. If this issue occurs after a recent refrigerant recharge, it could also be due to an incorrect amount of refrigerant. Before recharging, the system must be vacuumed, and then the refrigerant should be filled according to the standard quantity specified for the vehicle.

What Are the Annoyances After Buying a Raptor?

Buying a Raptor comes with annoyances such as pickup truck traffic restrictions and high maintenance costs. Taking the Raptor F150 as an example, here is a detailed introduction to the Ford Raptor F150: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Ford F150 is a pickup truck under the Ford brand, with a wheelbase of 3685mm (millimeters), and dimensions of 5907mm (millimeters) in length, 2083mm (millimeters) in width, and 1954mm (millimeters) in height. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with two engines, one being a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and the other a 6.2-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine. The 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivers a maximum power of 280kW and a maximum torque of 672 Nm; it is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 6.2-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 306kW and a maximum torque of 588 Nm; it is matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. Chassis: The Ford F150 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a solid axle rear suspension.

What is the function of automotive air conditioning lubricating oil?

Automotive air conditioning lubricating oil functions as follows: The lubricating oil continuously flushes the friction surfaces, carrying away wear debris, reducing friction and wear of the moving parts of the air conditioning compressor, and extending the service life of the air conditioning unit. More information about air conditioning lubricating oil is as follows: 1. The refrigeration lubricating oil continuously circulates within the air conditioning system, promptly removing the heat generated during compressor operation, keeping the compressor at a lower temperature, thereby improving compression efficiency and operational reliability. It forms an oil seal between the pistons, preventing refrigerant leakage and reducing compressor noise during operation. 2. When selecting refrigeration lubricating oil, factors such as the operating state of the compressor (e.g., suction gas temperature), the type of refrigerant used, and the composition of the refrigeration oil should be considered. Generally, the selection is based on the low-temperature performance of the refrigeration lubricating oil, but its thermal stability should also be appropriately considered. 3. The structure of air conditioning compressors is divided into swash plate type and piston type, and the refrigeration lubricating oil selected should differ accordingly. Automotive air conditioning systems generally choose domestic N22, N32 refrigeration lubricating oil, or imported SUNISO-5GS refrigeration lubricating oil. Variable frequency compressors require the use of ND8, ND9 or higher types of refrigeration lubricating oil.

Can a car turn on the external circulation without turning on the AC?

Yes, a car can turn on the external circulation without turning on the AC. The external circulation and AC are two completely different mechanisms with no connection between them. The differences between external circulation and AC are as follows: 1. The car's external circulation uses a fan to draw outside air into the car, allowing passengers to breathe fresh air from outside. The external circulation means that the air passages between the outside and inside of the car are interconnected. The air from the car's fan comes from outside, and even if the fan is not turned on, airflow is still drawn into the car while driving, replenishing the fresh air inside. 2. The AC is the switch that controls the air conditioning. To cool the car, the AC switch must be turned on. AC stands for Air-Conditioner. The car's AC button controls the compressor. The AC switch controls the electromagnetic clutch, and for the car's compressor to operate, the electromagnetic clutch must be turned on while powered. Only after the compressor is turned on will the car start blowing cold air. 3. The external circulation is mainly used when the air inside the car becomes stale. For example, when smoking inside the car, turning on the external circulation ensures fresh air inside. In summer, the AC button is used to turn on the air conditioning to cool the car.
