An overhauled car engine can last between 5 to 10 years. Engine overhaul refers to the process of disassembling and dismantling the engine, cleaning and inspecting all components, and replacing or repairing necessary parts as needed to restore the engine's performance. After an overhaul, the engine's performance can be restored to over 90% of its original state. An engine should be considered for overhaul when the cylinder's out-of-roundness reaches 0.125mm wear per 100mm of cylinder diameter or when the cylinder's taper wear reaches 0.40mm per 100mm of cylinder diameter. Additionally, certain vehicle symptoms should be taken into account, such as significant loss of power, increased fuel consumption, engine oil burning, blue smoke emission, severe piston slap noise, or abnormal engine sounds.

How long after drinking a beer can you drive?

How long after drinking a beer can you drive? This time is not absolute, because the metabolic rate of alcohol in the human body is related to many factors. Each person's alcohol metabolism rate is different, and even the same person may have different metabolic rates at different times or in different environments. The metabolic rate of alcohol in the human body is limited. Generally, a normal person can metabolize about 10 to 15 milliliters of alcohol per hour. It takes approximately 10 hours to fully metabolize one bottle of beer. Therefore, after drinking one bottle of beer, it is best to rest for 10 hours and wait until the alcohol is completely metabolized before driving.

Will No U-Turn Violations Definitely Be Captured?

No U-turn violations will definitely be captured, but not all violating vehicles can be photographed. Only when the license plate image is clear can the information entry personnel input the violating vehicle into the database for processing. A camera usually only captures one lane, with a few capable of capturing two lanes. Digital cameras have a wider shooting range, and most can capture all lanes in the same direction within urban areas. The following situations absolutely do not allow U-turns: 1. Intersections with no U-turn signs; 2. Intersections where left turns are prohibited, U-turns are also not allowed; 3. On zebra crossings, if there is no no U-turn sign or U-turn signal at the intersection, drivers cannot make a U-turn directly on the zebra crossing. They must pass the zebra crossing before making a U-turn.

What does the ETC toll photo on the highway mean?

Highway ETC toll photo refers to the use of gantries to divide the highway into several sections. Gantries are devices installed on highways to calculate toll amounts, and they are placed at certain intervals. Each time a vehicle passes under a gantry, the cameras mounted on it will take photos and calculate the toll based on the vehicle type, and the corresponding toll fee will be deducted from the vehicle's ETC. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, a system that is being actively developed and promoted internationally for electronic tolling, mainly used for the management of bridges, tunnels, highways, and parking lots. When a vehicle passes through a toll station, there is no need to stop; the system automatically identifies the vehicle via onboard equipment and deducts the corresponding fee from the pre-linked bank account or IC card. By using this system, drivers only need to install a transponder card on their windshield and pre-load a certain amount of money. When passing through a toll station, there is no need for manual payment or stopping, as the toll is automatically deducted from the card.

What Causes Hard Braking?

The reasons for hard braking include issues with the brake booster pump, foreign objects adhering to the brake pads and calipers, and the vehicle's ABS system engaging. In case of hard braking, you can ease off the accelerator to slow down and try pressing the brake pedal several times to see if braking force can be restored. Causes of hard braking: Issues with the brake booster pump. If the brake suddenly becomes hard while driving, it may be due to a vacuum tube leak or blockage in the brake booster pump. In such cases, the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection, and replacement may be necessary if required. If the brake becomes hard after the engine is turned off, it is usually because the brake pedal was pressed continuously after the engine was turned off, causing the vacuum force of the brake booster pump to be depleted. In this situation, simply restarting the engine to allow the brake booster pump to resume operation will resolve the issue. Foreign objects adhering to the brake pads and calipers. If there are foreign objects on the brake pads or calipers, the friction caused by these objects during braking may create a sensation of hard braking. This issue can be resolved by cleaning the affected parts. Vehicle ABS system engagement. During emergency braking, the vehicle's ABS system intervenes to prevent wheel lock-up and loss of control, which can lead to accidents. This intervention causes a rebound effect in the brake pedal. This is a normal phenomenon, and gently pressing the brake pedal again will restore normal braking.

Is a Car with 300,000 Kilometers Considered Old?

Mainstream thinking suggests that cars are designed for about 300,000 kilometers of use. With technological advancements, the quality of modern vehicles has far exceeded this mileage standard. The most critical components of a car are the chassis, engine, and transmission. These three parts play a decisive role in determining the lifespan of a vehicle. Here is some additional information: Relevant regulations: The government has also followed this trend by abolishing the mandatory scrapping system. However, this does not mean that any car that can move is roadworthy; the government still guides the scrapping of vehicles. In reality, how long a car can last now largely depends on the owner. For example, there was a Chery owner whose car ran for 500,000 kilometers without major repairs, showcasing the impressive quality of domestic vehicles. While this is encouraging, it's also important to recognize that driving habits are equally crucial.
