Lowering the vehicle height, also known as stance modification, will not pass the annual inspection. To pass the inspection, the vehicle must first be restored to its original condition. The low stance style is popular among many car enthusiasts, but modifying the vehicle to achieve this look is not allowed and should not be done arbitrarily. Below are the key points to note for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Vehicle Exterior: A dirty vehicle can affect the inspection of the exterior and undercarriage. Since photos are required during the inspection, excessively dirty vehicles may not be photographed. Additionally, many owners like to apply custom stickers or club emblems on their vehicles. Any stickers or emblems, regardless of size, are not permitted during the inspection, with the exception of legally approved decals such as "New Driver" labels that have been filed and approved by the authorities. Moreover, vehicles with exterior modifications will not pass the inspection. Simply put, if the vehicle does not match the photo on the registration certificate, it is considered modified. 2. Window Tinting on the Triangle Window: While window tinting generally does not affect the inspection, the triangular section of the front windows must remain untinted to ensure sufficient light transmission for the driver to use the side mirrors effectively. Tinting this area will result in a failed inspection. 3. Insurance Validity: The inspection date often coincides with the insurance expiration date. It is important to note that if the new insurance policy has been renewed before the old one expires, the old policy (still valid) must be presented during the inspection. The new policy, if not yet in effect, cannot be used for the inspection. 4. Tire Specifications: Typically, tires need replacement after about 70,000 kilometers. Many owners opt for different brands or specialized tires to suit their driving needs. However, the replacement tires must match the original specifications exactly. Even if the wheel design remains unchanged, any deviation in tire size or model will result in a failed inspection.

What are the symptoms of an EGR valve failure?

EGR valve failure symptoms include unstable idle, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and insufficient power. Below is relevant information about exhaust gas recirculation: 1. Introduction to EGR: Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a technology (technique or method) where a portion of the exhaust gases from small automotive internal combustion engines is redirected back to the intake side for re-combustion. Its primary purposes are to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust emissions and improve fuel economy under partial load conditions. It is commonly referred to by the acronym "EGR" from the initial letters of each English word. 2. Types of EGR systems: Mechanically controlled EGR system, Electronically controlled EGR system, Directly controlled EGR system, Indirectly controlled EGR system, Single-valve controlled EGR system, Multi-valve controlled EGR system, Open-loop controlled EGR system, Closed-loop controlled EGR system.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Fan Making Loud Noises?

The main reasons for a car fan making loud noises can be summarized into three points. Below is a detailed explanation of these three reasons: 1. Fan Blades: The exhaust fan, driven by an electric motor to rotate the blades and propel airflow, is a type of air conditioning appliance that facilitates the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. When the blades of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner become deformed, it can result in loud noises, and it is recommended to replace the exhaust fan. 2. Fan Motor: The purpose of exhaust is to remove stale indoor air and regulate temperature, humidity, and comfort. When the motor of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner is damaged, it can lead to loud noises, and it is advised to replace the exhaust fan. 3. Excessive Debris: If there is a significant amount of debris inside the air conditioner, it is recommended to clean the air conditioner.

How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioner in Winter?

When turning on the car air conditioner in winter, adjust it to the external circulation mode. Below is a relevant introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layout methods. Currently, most cars widely adopt the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism into one unit, referred to as the air conditioning assembly. 2. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Generally, a car air conditioner mainly includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The car air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, suction line, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

Why does the chassis make a crackling sound after the car is turned off?

After the car is turned off, the crackling sound from the chassis is caused by the cooling of the exhaust pipe's three-way catalytic converter, which produces the sound due to thermal expansion and contraction. This is a normal phenomenon and nothing to worry about. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial purification device in the exhaust system. Its main function is to convert the three harmful substances—CO, HC, and NOx—into harmless substances. Here are some details about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Composition: The three-way catalytic converter contains platinum, rhodium, and palladium. 2. Functions of each element: Platinum, rhodium, and palladium effectively catalyze nitrogen oxides and particulate matter in the exhaust, so vehicles equipped with a three-way catalytic converter have much less noticeable exhaust odor.

What are the precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui?

Precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui are as follows: 1. Warm up the car in advance: The Geely Xingrui 2.0T is equipped with an advanced one-key ignition start system. Even with one-key start, the car still needs to be "warmed up," although the current warming process differs from the traditional idle warm-up. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat to a suitable position and fasten the seatbelt. 2. Speed control: During the "break-in period," it is best to keep the speed between 40 km/h and 100 km/h. Driving at excessive speeds places a greater burden on the vehicle compared to moderate speeds. Always accelerate gradually and avoid maintaining the same speed for extended periods. During the first 300-500 kilometers of a new car, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can cause the car to adapt poorly.

Why is the Natural Gas Vehicle Lacking Power?

Natural gas vehicles often experience insufficient power primarily due to the lack of engine modifications during the conversion process. When converting a vehicle to run on natural gas, the engine is typically left unchanged to accommodate both fuel types (gasoline and natural gas). As a result, the vehicle's power output when using natural gas is usually reduced by 5-15% compared to gasoline. Solutions to address the lack of power in natural gas vehicles are as follows: 1. Solution 1: Increase the ignition timing by 12 to 17 degrees from the original setting. Natural gas itself has stable chemical properties, a higher ignition point than gasoline, and burns slower. Advancing the ignition timing can help reduce power loss. 2. Solution 2: Upgrade to a high-energy ignition system by installing a better ignition coil. Since the flame propagation of natural gas is slower than gasoline, this modification ensures more complete combustion of natural gas, thereby improving vehicle power.
