After running 20,000 kilometers, a BMW requires appropriate maintenance. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance. 1. Types of maintenance: cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors, four-wheel rotation and balancing, replacing the cabin air filter, and cleaning the catalytic converter. 2. Cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors: This depends on the vehicle's usage. Vehicles that frequently drive on highways are less likely to be dirty and may not need cleaning. If the vehicle often drives in congested areas or for short distances, it is more likely to accumulate dirt and should be cleaned. 3. Cleaning the catalytic converter: The catalytic converter generally does not need cleaning unless there is a fault code or the vehicle fails an emissions test. 4. Four-wheel rotation and balancing and replacing the cabin air filter: It is recommended to perform both. Four-wheel rotation helps ensure even tire wear and extends tire life, while the cabin air filter, like the engine air filter, tends to get dirty quickly and should be replaced more frequently.

How Much Impact Does Occasionally Slamming a Car Door Have?

Occasionally slamming a car door will not have a significant impact on the vehicle. Below is extended information about closing car doors: Hazards of Slamming Doors: If doors are frequently slammed, over time the hinges may loosen, and the window regulators can become misaligned or deformed. Additionally, excessive force can damage the connections of various plastic components inside the car, causing clips to loosen and produce rattling noises. It can also harm door lights and sensor switches, and even lead to premature fatigue of the sealing strips, resulting in localized wear, paint chipping, and rust. Proper Way to Close a Car Door: After exiting the vehicle, push the door until it is 10-15 cm away from the car body, then apply slight force to close it. Alternatively, gently push the door until it shuts completely before releasing it.

What is the Scrap Age Limit for Sedans?

There is no age limit for the scrapping of sedans, but the mileage limit for scrapping is set at 600,000 kilometers. Since May 1, 2013, the elimination of old vehicles for scrapping has been implemented according to new regulations, which abolished the scrapping age limit for private cars and mandated compulsory scrapping at a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. Additional information: Regulations: Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. The annual inspection regulations for private cars are as follows: New cars must be stamped by the inspection agency every two years within the first six years, inspected once a year from 7 to 15 years, and twice a year after 15 years. If the annual inspection is not conducted or fails, the vehicle will be compulsorily scrapped.

Can 6 points for running a red light be offset using 2 driver's licenses?

No, a single traffic violation can only be deducted from one driver's license. Below are the relevant regulations: Regulations: The new regulations stipulate that if the same person handles violations for more than 3 different license plate vehicles not owned by themselves within one scoring cycle, or if more than 3 people handle violations for the same license plate vehicle, they will be included in the key list suspected of proxy handling and their violation handling services will be suspended. Notes: However, under the new regulations in 2017, "friendly point offsetting" is barely acceptable, while the traffic management department will impose severe penalties on "buying and selling points" as a business. The new regulations also clearly state the phenomenon of buying and selling points: If someone accepts traffic violation penalties and point deductions on behalf of the actual driver for economic gain, their driver's license will be suspended for six months.

How many years or kilometers should tires be replaced?

Tires have a service life of 5-6 years or need replacement after traveling 50,000-80,000 kilometers. You can observe the wear degree of the tread pattern on the tire surface. When the tread wear is below 1.6mm or aligned with the wear limit indicator, immediate replacement is required. If the tire is damaged, it's recommended to replace it immediately. Tires are the 'feet' of a car - safety comes first. Additional information: Importance of tires: Automotive tires are crucial components that directly contact the road surface, working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. Reminder: Tires have an expiration period. Once past their 'shelf life', even if they appear normal externally, the internal structure may have completely deteriorated. Continuing to use worn tires risks air leakage or even blowouts, which becomes particularly dangerous when driving at high speeds.
