According to the new annual inspection regulations, vehicles from 2012 that underwent inspection before November 20, 2020 (when the new policy took effect) will need an inspection in 2021. However, those inspected after November 20, 2020, do not require an inspection in 2021. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Under the new inspection rules: Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are now included in the exemption range. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. For private cars over 10 years old: The original inspection cycle still applies, meaning once a year for vehicles between 10 and 15 years old, and once every six months for vehicles over 15 years old.

Which gear is generally used for uphill driving?

When driving uphill, it is advisable to use a lower gear as it provides greater torque output to the drive wheels. Here is some relevant information: For automatic transmission vehicles, if the slope is not very steep, using the D (Drive) gear is perfectly fine. However, if the slope is steep, switching to the L (Low) gear can provide the vehicle with greater traction to ensure successful uphill driving. Additional points: 1. For prolonged uphill driving: Using a high gear for uphill driving can cause a sharp drop in vehicle speed, making gear shifting difficult and essentially forcing the car to restart, which wastes a lot of fuel. It is better to shift to a lower gear in advance. Forcing the car uphill in a low gear may require pressing the accelerator harder, causing the fuel-saving device to engage. 2. When driving up a steep slope: Always select an appropriate gear based on the slope conditions to ensure the engine maintains sufficient power.

What Causes High Fuel Consumption?

Car high fuel consumption reasons are as follows: 1. After cleaning the throttle, no matching with the engine control unit was performed or the matching was unsuccessful, leading to increasingly higher fuel consumption. 2. Failure in the engine electronic control system, resulting in excessively rich air-fuel mixture and progressively higher fuel consumption. 3. Damage to engine ignition coils or spark plugs, fuel injector leaks, etc., causing increased fuel consumption. 4. Engine cooling system failure, leading to excessively low engine temperature and continuous warm-up state. 5. Excessive engine carbon deposits, resulting in incomplete combustion. 6. Fuel tank ventilation system failure, causing fuel vapor leaks.

What is the function of a vehicle's air flow meter?

The function of an automobile air flow meter is to detect the intake air volume of the engine. It converts the information about the amount of engine intake air into electrical signals and transmits them to the ECU. Here is some relevant information: 1. Vane-type air flow meter, the structure of the vane-type air flow meter is simple, with high reliability, but it is large in size, has high intake resistance, and responds slowly; Karman vortex air flow meter, the so-called Karman vortex refers to the phenomenon that when a cylindrical or triangular object is placed in the fluid, two rows of vortices rotating in opposite directions and alternately appearing will be generated downstream of this object. 2. Ultrasonic Karman vortex air flow meter, ultrasonic transmitting and receiving probes are installed opposite each other on both sides of the downstream pipeline of the Karman vortex generator. Due to the influence of Karman vortices on air density, the time for ultrasonic waves to travel from the transmitting probe to the receiving probe will be delayed compared to when there are no vortices, resulting in a phase difference. By processing this phase signal, the vortex pulse signal can be obtained.

What is the difference between multi-point fuel injection and direct injection?

The differences between direct injection and multi-point fuel injection can be summarized in six aspects: 1. Fuel quality: Direct injection has higher fuel quality requirements compared to multi-point fuel injection, with a compression ratio as high as 12. 2. Cost: Due to the more complex components of direct injection compared to multi-point fuel injection, the price is usually higher. 3. Fuel consumption: Direct injection has significantly lower fuel consumption compared to multi-point fuel injection. 4. Power performance: Direct injection improves power and torque by 10% compared to other engines of the same displacement. 5. Technology: Multi-point fuel injection technology is more mature, while direct injection is a newer and more advanced fuel injection technology. 6. Maintenance: Multi-point fuel injection has a simpler structure, making it better in terms of maintenance and reliability compared to direct injection.

What are the problems caused by overfilling transmission fluid?

Here are the consequences of excessive transmission fluid: 1. When the transmission fluid level is too high, rotating components will contact the fluid during operation. Under the agitation of high-speed rotating components such as planetary gear sets or clutches, this causes fluid expansion and boiling, leading to fluid leakage from the filler hole and vent valve. 2. It may cause shift shock. Excessive air entering the fluid can also create airlocks in the drain holes of the valve body, resulting in poor drainage and causing shift shock. 3. It may lead to insufficient working oil pressure. An excessively high automatic transmission fluid level allows rotating components to agitate the fluid, generating air bubbles. When this aerated fluid enters the oil pump, the pump cannot establish the required oil pressure.

How long does it take for the review to be approved after completing the required hours for Subject 2?

It takes about 15 days for the review to be approved after completing the required hours for Subject 2. Here is some relevant information: 1. Since learning Subject 2 takes about 15 days (or as fast as 10 days), and Subject 2 requires 24 credit hours (with a maximum of 4 credit hours per day), C1 license applicants must complete all 24 credit hours for Subject 2 before taking the exam. 2. According to the new "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Outline," the current credit hour requirements for C1 license training and examination are as follows: Subject 1 requires 12 credit hours, Subject 2 requires 26 credit hours (including 2 theoretical credit hours), and Subject 3 requires 40 credit hours (including 16 theoretical credit hours). Among these, the practical credit hours for Subject 2 (five compulsory tests) and Subject 3 (long-distance and road tests) are both 24 credit hours, accounting for more than half of the total 78 credit hours.
