New car transmission replacement compensation information from 4S shops is as follows: Handling method: If there is a problem with the new car's transmission, the merchant is obligated to repair it. If the repair is unsuccessful, it should be replaced. Article 20 of Chapter 5 of the automobile three-guarantee policy stipulates that "if the vehicle has undergone two repairs for serious safety performance failures that have not been resolved or new serious safety performance failures have occurred," the car can be returned. Relevant regulations: The "Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automobile Products" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine, also known as the automobile three-guarantee regulations, have been implemented since October 1, 2013. It is recommended that consumers carefully understand the relevant details before purchasing a car.

I bought a new car last year, and within just a few months, the transmission developed issues. After inspection at the 4S store, it was confirmed to be an internal failure. Without hesitation, they replaced the entire transmission system free of charge, as it was still within the three-year warranty period. However, the incident disrupted my daily commute, costing me extra money on ride-hailing services. I discussed this with the manager, who eventually offered a free maintenance voucher as compensation. It’s frustrating when a new car has problems, so always check the warranty terms carefully. According to China’s Three Guarantees Law, the drivetrain is covered for free repairs or replacements within two years—don’t let dealers mislead you. I recommend documenting any warning signs, like sluggish shifting or unusual noises, with photos as evidence for smoother repairs. Compensation may also include travel subsidies or extended warranties; prepare case examples beforehand to strengthen your negotiation.

Is the 4A15 a Mitsubishi engine?

The engine used by Bestune is produced in China, manufactured at the FAW factory in Changchun, Jilin, and produced on the same production line as FAW Mazda. Depending on the Bestune model, the engine varies. The engine model is CA4GB16, with a maximum horsepower of 109 hp, maximum power of 80 KW, maximum power speed of 4500-5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 155 Nm. The engine model is CA4GB15TD-30, with a maximum horsepower of 169 hp, maximum power of 124 KW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 258 Nm. For daily maintenance of Bestune engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What does traffic violation code 57042 mean?

Violation code 57042 means: Using another vehicle's license plate. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: 12 demerit points; a fine of 2000 yuan; and additional penalties such as confiscation of the license plate. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles of traffic laws. The order from left to right is as follows: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential codes, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation under the Road Traffic Law. Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation. Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential codes, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" means 3 demerit points, and "035" represents the fifth item under the third violation in the 3-point category. Explanation of behavior classification codes: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with "4" indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic enforcement departments in various districts or counties to inquire via touch-screen terminals. Log in to the public service website of the local Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click "Query." Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114). Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to check. For violations involving the use of another vehicle's license plate, you can handle them through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
