How Often Should Ignition Coils Be Replaced?

Ignition coils should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. The ignition coil, also known as the high-voltage coil, consists of a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil is made of thicker enameled wire, with one end connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle's low-voltage power supply and the other end connected to the switching device (breaker). The secondary coil is made of thinner enameled wire, with one end connected to the primary coil and the other end connected to the high-voltage output terminal to deliver high-voltage electricity. Ignition coils are categorized into open-core and closed-core types based on their magnetic circuits. Traditional ignition coils use an open-core design, where the iron core is laminated with 0.3 mm silicon steel sheets and wound with both secondary and primary coils. Closed-core ignition coils, on the other hand, feature an iron core wound with the primary coil, around which the secondary coil is wound, forming a closed magnetic circuit with the iron core.

How many days should the red cloth strip be hung on a new car?

There is no strict rule for how long the red cloth strip should be hung on a new car—it mainly depends on personal preference. In the past, the red cloth strip was usually brought by the car owner when picking up the vehicle, but nowadays, many 4S stores also prepare it in advance for the delivery ceremony. In China, red symbolizes joy, auspiciousness, and the ability to ward off evil spirits. Tying a red ribbon to a new car represents safe travels and smooth journeys. However, it's worth reminding new car owners that keeping the red cloth strip on for too long isn't beneficial, as most red cloth strips tend to fade, especially during rainy weather. If the faded color sticks to the car paint and isn't cleaned promptly, it may become difficult to remove over time.

How Long Can a Car Go Without Inspection Before It Can No Longer Be Inspected?

A car cannot be inspected anymore if it has gone without inspection for three years. According to regulations, if a vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it must be forcibly scrapped. Penalties for overdue inspection: Vehicles with overdue inspections can undergo a supplementary inspection, but penalties will be imposed. If a motor vehicle fails to undergo a safety technical inspection within the specified period, a fine will be issued, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. For the annual inspection, bring the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and ensure all traffic violations have been settled. The annual inspection can be conducted at the local vehicle management office. Therefore, for vehicles with overdue inspections to undergo re-inspection, penalties must be settled and fines paid at the relevant authorities before re-inspection can proceed. This is a regulatory requirement. Notes on overdue vehicle inspections: Article 49 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that the owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the vehicle's inspection validity period. Before applying, the owner must resolve all traffic safety violations and accidents related to the vehicle. During the application, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle registration certificate, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, and the motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance certificate. The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle's status, review the submitted documents, and issue the inspection compliance mark within one day of receiving the application.

How many more years can a China 4 vehicle be driven?

As long as the vehicle is in good condition, a China 4 vehicle can be driven indefinitely. However, some cities may impose driving restrictions on China 4 vehicles. China has clear regulations that do not set a mandatory retirement period for private passenger vehicles, only stipulating guided retirement after reaching 600,000 kilometers. For light trucks and heavy trucks, the mandatory retirement period is 10 years, but it can be extended up to 5 years, meaning the maximum mandatory retirement period for China 4 trucks is 15 years. The China 4 emission standard was implemented starting from July 1, 2010, and the nationwide implementation of the China 5 standard began on July 1, 2017. Therefore, vehicles produced between 2011 and 2017 are generally China 4 emission standard compliant.

What are the traffic restriction rules for out-of-town vehicles in Guangzhou?

The core content of Guangzhou's traffic restriction rules for out-of-town vehicles is the 'Four On, Four Off' policy. This means that non-Guangzhou registered medium and small passenger vehicles (including temporary license plate vehicles) entering the controlled area cannot drive continuously for more than 4 days (calendar days, including weekends). They must wait at least 4 calendar days before entering again. The restriction applies 24 hours a day, with no distinction between peak and off-peak hours. Guangzhou's electronic police monitoring system enforces this policy by capturing violations. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and Guangdong Province Road Traffic Safety Regulations, violators will be fined 200 RMB and receive 3 penalty points. For violations of these management measures, the number of violations will be calculated based on the calendar days when the violations occurred, with each vehicle being penalized once per calendar day.
