Yes, a car inspected last year still needs inspection this year. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection content: 1. Check equipment appearance: Inspect whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and effective; whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. 2. Check compliance: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles. 3. Check for modifications: Examine whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations; whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle file registrations match the actual condition of the car; and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed. 4. Check license plates: Inspect the license plates, driving license, and enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle for damage, tampering, or unclear writing, and determine if replacement is needed. For large vehicles, check if the unit name or the street, township, or town name of the vehicle's location and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in imitation Song typeface on both sides of the doors as required; whether the rear gate of trucks (including trailers) displays the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times as required; and whether individually or jointly owned vehicles have the word 'individual' printed on both sides. The writing must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

Does a vehicle that underwent inspection last year need it this year? Here's how I see it: It mainly depends on how old your car is. I remember when I was driving, new cars only needed inspection every one or two years in the first few years. Specifically, if the car is less than 6 years old, it generally doesn’t need inspection this year if it was done last year, because the rule is every two years. But if the car is over 6 years old, it needs an annual inspection. I had a 7-year-old car inspected last year, so I’ll have to go again this year—otherwise, if I’m stopped by the police, I’ll get a ticket. It’s best to check the next expiration date on the Traffic Management 12123 app or your vehicle’s registration certificate—it’s an easy way to find out. Don’t delay; car conditions change quickly, and inspections aren’t just about avoiding fines—they also check lights, brakes, and other safety features. If you’re in an accident without a valid inspection, insurance claims can be troublesome. In short, don’t skip this small effort—better to be safe than sorry.

Why Does the Car Make Strange Noises and Fail to Start When Igniting?

Car ignition with strange noises and failure to start is due to car battery damage, fuel quality issues, adding water or using low-quality coolant, and excessive carbon buildup. Reasons for excessive carbon buildup: Gasoline contains impurities. When the car is turned off, the spark plug cuts off power, resulting in incomplete combustion of some combustible mixtures. The oil vapor in the crankcase forced ventilation system forms carbon deposits. Reasons for battery damage: Repeatedly starting or igniting the vehicle in a short period causes the battery to discharge large currents repeatedly. Due to driving skills, some car owners frequently stall while driving, leading to frequent starts. Otherwise, the battery frequently supplying strong current to the starter will cause its own wear. Additionally, not turning off the air conditioning when the engine is off.

What Are the Reasons for Steering Wheel Vibration at High Speeds?

Steering wheel vibration at high speeds may be caused by issues with the chassis suspension components, drivetrain system, or tire dynamic balance. Precautions for driving on highways: Avoid sudden stops on highways, pay attention to warning signs, and do not throw objects on the highway. When driving on highways, if overtaking is necessary, try to overtake from the left side. If the vehicle breaks down and requires stopping for repairs, turn on the right turn signal in advance to exit the driving lane, park in the emergency stop lane, turn on the hazard lights, and place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. The function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable.

Which provides better performance, 0W30 or 5W30?

Engine oil grades should be selected based on the vehicle model and condition. 5W40 oil is typically suitable for German cars, while 0W30 oil is suitable for domestic and American cars, as well as Japanese cars with over 150,000 miles. Therefore, these two oil grades are not directly comparable. Classification of engine oil quality from high to low: Full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. Full synthetic oil outperforms other oils in terms of power, noise reduction, cleanliness, and longevity. Many well-known brands offer full synthetic oils, with replacement intervals ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. High-end imported oils like GT Magic Red, which are PAO full synthetic oils, offer even better overall performance, with replacement intervals reaching up to 15,000 kilometers. Semi-synthetic oils have significantly poorer overall performance, with replacement intervals typically around 5,000 kilometers. Mineral oil is the lowest quality oil, containing more impurities and less refined, resulting in poor overall performance. Selection of oil viscosity: Oil viscosity should first be chosen based on the vehicle model and condition. With the exception of certain models, in most cases, Japanese cars use 20-grade oil, American and domestic cars use 30-grade oil, and German cars use 40-grade oil.

How to reset the tire pressure monitoring on Baojun 310?

Baojun 310 tire pressure monitoring reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly for a patch, then reinflate the tire; If the low tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation without any puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel hub. It is recommended to check the wheel hub and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety.

What engine does the Venucia M50V have?

1.6L engine model is HR16DE. The following are the characteristics of the HR16DE engine: 1. The power curve of the HR16DE all-aluminum engine has the steepest slope between 3000 and 5000 rpm, providing the best acceleration performance. The slope of the power curve is slightly smaller below 2500 rpm, and after 5000 rpm, the slope of the power curve decreases sharply with increasing speed. 2. The torque curve peaks at 2500 rpm, 3500 rpm, and 4400 rpm, ensuring excellent acceleration performance at low, medium, and high speeds for the HR16DE all-aluminum engine. Between 3500 and 5000 rpm, the torque remains at a high output, making this range the best for acceleration. From the perspective of pursuing acceleration, gear shifts should be made within this range. After 5000 rpm, the torque curve begins to decline significantly, and acceleration performance deteriorates.
