Starting is usually done in first or second gear. Starting in third or fourth gear is abnormal, and forcing a start in these gears can damage the car, especially causing significant harm to the clutch. Below is relevant information about car gears: 1. Speed range: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h, second gear to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Shift timing: For most cars, the ideal shift timing is when the engine reaches 2000 r/min, and it should not exceed 2500 r/min. For high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.

Does the vehicle need to undergo an on-site inspection in the sixth year?

For a vehicle in its sixth year, an on-site inspection is required for the annual vehicle inspection. Here are the relevant details: Vehicle Exemption from Inspection: If the vehicle meets the exemption criteria and the inspection period on the vehicle license is 2016, the owner can enjoy two exemptions from on-site inspections during the six years from 2016 to 2021. They only need to apply for the annual inspection sticker every two years. By the sixth year, the vehicle is no longer eligible for exemption and must undergo an on-site inspection while also applying for the annual inspection sticker. Vehicle Annual Inspection: For a vehicle that is exactly six years old, the annual inspection process is the same as the regular annual inspection. The owner needs to drive the vehicle to the inspection station, bringing along their ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. After passing the inspection, they will receive a certification form. Finally, they must submit this form along with the other documents to the relevant window to obtain the annual inspection sticker.

Should the exhaust pipe be welded or replaced during repair?

It can be welded, but if it's too thin, welding may not be ideal, and it's recommended to replace the exhaust pipe. The angle of the exhaust pipe can affect the vehicle. Exhaust pipe angle at 45 degrees: Within this emission angle range, when the vehicle is in operation, high-velocity exhaust gases can blow dust off the ground. The faster the vehicle speed, the greater the dust pollution. Additionally, the greater the vehicle's power, the higher the gas flow and velocity, leading to increased dust pollution. According to market research, the areas most severely affected by dust pollution are along highways, where higher traffic volumes result in more significant dust pollution. Furthermore, dust pollution is also related to the cleanliness of the road surface; the more loose dust on the road surface, the greater the amount of dust blown up by vehicle exhaust. Exhaust pipe angle directed towards the sides of the vehicle: If the exhaust pipe angle is directed towards the sides of the vehicle, the exhaust gases can cause thermal airflow impact injuries to pedestrians during operation. Moreover, the vehicle exhaust contains unburned atomized oil residues, including pollutants such as sulfides and carbides, which can cause personal harm to humans.

Can You Continue Driving if a Nail is Stuck in the Tire Without Air Leakage?

Tires punctured by nails without air leakage can still allow the car to drive normally, but you should drive at a low speed to the nearest repair shop for inspection. If left untreated, it may lead to a tire blowout, posing a significant hazard. Below are some relevant explanations: 1. Most car tires on the market today are tubeless tires. If a tubeless tire is punctured by a nail, the air won’t leak out quickly, giving you enough time to drive to a repair shop for inspection. 2. It’s important to note that if a tire is punctured by a nail, you should never pull it out immediately, as this could cause severe air leakage, making it impossible to continue driving. 3. Generally, the tread of a tire is relatively thick. If a nail is stuck in the tread, you can pull it out and apply some soapy water to the puncture site to check for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, no repair is needed, and the tire can continue to be used or serve as a spare tire. If bubbles appear, it means the tire has been punctured and requires repair before it can be used again.

What is the Best Solution for BMW 3 Series Burning Engine Oil?

In the past, the only solution for burning engine oil issues was disassembly and repair. Now, there are solutions available that do not require disassembly: The common practice is to add engine oil for free. If the problem worsens and the owner complains strongly, the engine will be disassembled to replace the piston rings. For vehicles where replacing the piston rings still does not solve the problem, the engine will be replaced. Currently, the solution for BMW burning engine oil issues is simply to replace the valve stem seals, and this can be done without disassembling the cylinder. The technology is already very mature. Hazards of BMW 3 Series Burning Engine Oil: It not only causes the vehicle's oxygen sensor to fail prematurely, leading to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and excessive exhaust emissions, among other adverse effects. More seriously, it can lead to insufficient engine lubrication, causing irreparable damage to the engine or even rendering it unusable. This results in significantly higher repair costs and even potential safety hazards.

Can the car still be driven if water accumulates inside due to a clogged sunroof?

If water accumulates inside the car due to a clogged sunroof, the car can still be driven, but it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. If water accumulation occurs, the owner can: If a water leak is detected, the owner should go to a repair shop or a place where tires can be changed and use an air pump to blow high-pressure air into the drainage holes of the two front drainage pipes of the sunroof to unclog them. Be careful not to use too strong air pressure, as it may cause the rubber joints and drainage pipes to detach, leading to continued leakage. Preventing clogging of the sunroof drainage pipes: Regularly open the sunroof to check for water accumulation. If there is water, it indicates that the drainage pipes are clogged and should be dealt with immediately. After opening the sunroof, check if there is dust accumulation along the tracks. If there is, wipe it clean with a dry cloth. You can also pour water from a mineral water bottle into the two front corners of the sunroof after opening it to observe if the water flows smoothly and check if an approximately equal amount of water flows out from under the car.
