It is not recommended to purchase a mortgaged vehicle, as many mortgaged vehicles may eventually lead to disputes. Although the price may be relatively cheap, you cannot have any traffic violations while driving the car, because handling violations requires the original owner to deal with them, which can be quite troublesome. Below are specific details about mortgaged vehicles: 1. Illegal Mortgaged Vehicles: When a motor vehicle is used as collateral, it is called a mortgaged vehicle. An illegal mortgaged vehicle refers to a car that is still under mortgage status with the vehicle management office and the bank, and the owner privately sells such a vehicle, making the purchase illegal. 2. Purchase Conditions: You should check the mortgage registration details in the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate." If the mortgage registration has been canceled, it means the vehicle's debt has been settled, and it is no longer a mortgaged vehicle, so it can be purchased. If the mortgage registration has not been canceled, the vehicle management office will not process the transfer procedures.

How to Deal with Musty Smell in Car Air Conditioning?

Here are some methods to address the musty smell in car air conditioning: 1. Before turning off the engine, turn off the air conditioning compressor in advance and switch the mode to external circulation, allowing hot air to dry the moisture in the air conditioning ducts. This prevents the air conditioning from becoming damp and breeding bacteria, which can cause odors. 2. First, open all windows and doors, then turn on the fan to accelerate air circulation. After a few minutes, close the windows and doors and turn on the air conditioning. This releases toxic substances and helps cool the car quickly. 3. Choose to direct the airflow diagonally upward. Utilize the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, allowing cold air to cool the car from top to bottom. 4. Switch between internal and external circulation. If the vehicle is in a congested urban area, to prevent exhaust fumes and other pollutants from entering the car, the driver can use the air conditioning's internal circulation function.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioning Suddenly Stops Cooling?

There are 5 solutions for when the car air conditioning is not cooling: 1. First, check if the compressor is still working: if it is not, then check if it is damaged. If it is damaged, it needs to be replaced with a new compressor; 2. Next, inspect the refrigerant pipes to see if there are any leaks or damage: if they are damaged, the ventilation pipes need to be replaced; 3. Then, check if there is still refrigerant (commonly referred to as 'snow' in Chinese), as refrigerant is essential for cooling: after prolonged use, some may be lost due to various reasons, so check if there is still refrigerant. If not, add two bottles of refrigerant; 4. After that, clean or replace the air conditioning filter. Over time, the filter can accumulate impurities: thus, it should be cleaned in a timely manner, as this is one of the reasons why the car air conditioning may not be cooling; 5. Finally, check the battery to see if it has power.

What to do if the Golf has a jerking sensation after wading through water?

First, check if the transmission has been flooded with water. If so, changing the oil should suffice. Below is relevant information regarding the Golf experiencing a jerking sensation after wading through water: 1. Solution: First, check if the transmission has been flooded with water. If so, changing the oil should suffice. Then, inspect whether the ignition system has been flooded with water. Usually, it's due to the sensor or the intake system being flooded, causing the air filter to get wet, thereby affecting the air intake volume, with a small amount of water entering the intake. 2. Check for transmission oil circuit blockage: The transmission oil circuit may be blocked or not flowing smoothly. Wear and tear on the oil circuit plate, long-term lack of transmission oil change leading to deterioration and reduced lubrication effectiveness, a dirty transmission filter with poor filtering effect, allowing wear particles to enter the valve body, can cause a jerking sensation.

What Insurance Does a New Car Need?

Purchasing full coverage insurance is not mandatory for a new car. Most car owners typically opt for the following types of commercial insurance: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers the costs incurred due to vehicle damage caused by traffic accidents during driving. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This refers to the financial responsibility that the insured or their permitted driver must bear legally when a traffic accident occurs while using the insured vehicle, resulting in bodily injury, death, or direct property damage to a third party. The insurance company will compensate according to the insurance contract. 3. Passenger Liability Insurance: This covers the insured's legal liability for compensation when a permitted qualified driver causes bodily injury or death to passengers in the vehicle due to an insured accident while using the insured vehicle. The insurance company will compensate according to the insurance contract. 4. Comprehensive Theft Insurance: When the insured motor vehicle is stolen, robbed, or snatched, resulting in vehicle loss, or when the vehicle is damaged or parts and accessories are lost and need repair during the theft, robbery, or snatching, the insurance company will compensate according to the contract.

Is it acceptable to delay the vehicle inspection by one month?

Delaying the annual vehicle inspection by one month constitutes an inspection lapse, and the vehicle is not permitted to be driven on the road. Once the inspection is overdue, the vehicle registration system will mark its status as 'inspection overdue.' If the vehicle is still driven under these circumstances, it violates regulations. If caught, the driver will face a fine, a 3-point penalty, and possible vehicle impoundment. The correct course of action is to promptly arrange for a supplementary inspection. However, do not rely on luck—the proper procedure is to have the vehicle towed to the vehicle management office for the overdue inspection. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Annual inspection participation: Vehicles can undergo the annual inspection up to 3 months before the deadline. 2. Inspection deadline: The inspection deadline can be found on the supplementary page of the vehicle's registration certificate, which states the validity period until a specific month and year. For example, if the registration certificate states 'Inspection valid until July 2018,' the inspection must be conducted within May, June, or July—meaning the earliest inspection date is May 1st, and the latest is July 31st.

What gear should be engaged when parking without turning off the engine?

Parking without turning off the engine requires different gears depending on the situation: 1. For automatic transmission models: If the driver is in the car, shift to N (Neutral) gear and engage the handbrake; if the driver is not in the car, engage the handbrake and shift to P (Park) gear. If the vehicle has an automatic start-stop system and the stop is very brief (e.g., waiting at a traffic light), simply keep the gear in D (Drive) and press the brake pedal. 2. For manual transmission models, shift to neutral and either press the brake pedal or engage the handbrake. The car gears include: 1. P (Park) gear: After parking the car, engaging P gear prevents the vehicle from moving; 2. R (Reverse) gear: This gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary; 3. N (Neutral) gear: Used for temporary parking, but should not be used when going downhill; 4. D (Drive) gear: Used for forward movement, with gear shifts controlled by the accelerator pedal.
