Any unauthorized installation or modification without approval from the vehicle management office is considered illegal modification and will not pass the annual inspection. Below is an introduction to the annual inspection: 1. Introduction: Annual inspection, colloquially referred to as 'annual review,' involves a comprehensive safety check of the vehicle every year or every two years. This includes inspections of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, and more. 2. Preparation: Verify the accuracy of the insurance policy, especially for the first annual inspection of a new car. If there are discrepancies between the information on the insurance policy and the actual situation, corrections must be made with the insurance company. 3. Relevant Regulations: Motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections at specified intervals from the date of registration.

I frequently go off-roading, and installing an auxiliary fuel tank is mainly to carry extra fuel for long-distance overlanding, avoiding frequent refueling. However, whether it passes the annual inspection depends on a few key points. First, the installation must comply with regulations—using OEM or certified parts is essential, as random modifications may lead inspection stations to deem it an unsafe alteration of the vehicle's structure. Second, the auxiliary tank must be securely fixed in an appropriate location, such as the trunk or undercarriage, to prevent leakage or collision risks. Third, it’s best to declare the modification in advance—having proper documentation increases the chances of passing inspection. Last year, I installed one, registered it with the DMV, and passed on the first try. But if done without proper procedures and found non-compliant, it may fail. In short, off-roading needs are valid, but legal and safe practices are a must.

How often should the transmission fluid in an Audi be changed?

Audi transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The method for changing transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Start the engine to warm up the transmission; 2. Remove the drain bolt and drain the transmission fluid; 3. Reinstall the bolt after draining the transmission fluid; 4. Refill with new transmission fluid; 5. Check the transmission fluid level until it reaches the MAX mark. Taking the 2021 Audi Q8 as an example, this model features multi-link independent suspension both in the front and rear, equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245 PS, maximum power of 180 kW, maximum torque of 370 Nm, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

What does the owner-exclusive protection insurance mean?

Owner-exclusive insurance is a type of insurance specifically designed to protect the owner. If the owner encounters an accident or requires hospitalization, the insurance provides direct compensation to the owner. The following are the essential insurances for a car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTPL): CTPL is a mandatory insurance that must be purchased; without it, the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. The full name of CTPL is 'Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles.' According to regulations, CTPL is a compulsory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses of victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. The cost of CTPL is the lowest. For the same vehicle model, the premium for the first year is the same, and the CTPL fee is related to the number of seats and the usage nature of the vehicle. 2. Commercial Insurance: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: In the event of an accident, with vehicle damage insurance, the repair costs can be covered by the insurance. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance mainly covers losses caused to a third party in a traffic accident. A third party refers to individuals who suffer personal injuries or property losses due to an accident involving the insured vehicle. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: Primary insurances usually have a deductible rate, meaning that in the event of a claim, the insurance company does not compensate the owner for a certain proportion of the insured amount. If the owner purchases no-deductible insurance, the portion of the insured amount and liability that the owner would otherwise bear is also transferred to the insurance company.

Can Different Octane Gasolines Be Mixed?

92-octane gasoline and 95-octane gasoline cannot be mixed because they have different iso-octane contents. 92-octane gasoline is suitable for engines with low compression ratios, while 95-octane gasoline is designed for engines with high compression ratios. If 92-octane gasoline is added to a car that requires 95-octane gasoline, it may cause abnormal combustion, leading to engine knocking. Knocking not only damages the combustion chamber but also directly affects the engine's normal operation, and in severe cases, it may cause engine failure. Conversely, adding 95-octane gasoline to a car that requires 92-octane gasoline will not damage the engine, but since 95-octane gasoline is more expensive than 92-octane, it would be a waste of money. Differences between 92, 95, and 98-octane gasoline: Standard gasoline is composed of iso-octane and n-heptane. Iso-octane has good anti-knock properties, and its octane rating is set at 100. N-heptane has poor anti-knock properties and is prone to knocking in gasoline engines, so its octane rating is set at 0. If gasoline is labeled as 92-octane, it means the gasoline has the same anti-knock properties as a standard gasoline mixture containing 92% iso-octane and 8% n-heptane. The same principle applies to 95 and 98-octane gasoline. What to do if the wrong gasoline is added: If a higher octane gasoline is added than what the car requires (e.g., adding 95-octane when 92-octane is specified), simply switch back to 92-octane gasoline after the current tank is consumed. If a lower octane gasoline is added than what the car requires (e.g., adding 92-octane when 95-octane is specified), you can add a high anti-knock fuel additive. Alternatively, you can drain the tank and refill it with 95-octane gasoline. To find out which gasoline your car requires, consult the owner's manual or check the fuel grade marked on the fuel tank cap.

When Will You Receive a Text Message After Running a Red Light?

After running a red light, the notification message for the violation captured by traffic cameras is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. However, this notification does not equate to a confirmed violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether a violation occurred will take 3-7 days. If a violation is confirmed, you will receive another text message. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because, after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant traffic police personnel for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via text message. After receiving the violation text message, vehicle owners must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred to settle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. If you suspect you have committed a violation, you can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying traffic violations include: Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: You can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. Text Message Query: Open your phone's text message interface, enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message body, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.
