The specific time required for car maintenance at a 4S store depends on the actual situation. Generally, if you go for maintenance on a weekday, it can be completed within two hours. However, if you go on weekends or holidays, it may take more than two hours. When the car owner arrives at the 4S store, a dedicated maintenance receptionist will be responsible for the reception. After the reception, the service advisor will discuss the maintenance costs with the car owner. Once the required items and costs are confirmed, a maintenance technician will drive the car into the work bay. This process usually takes about 20 minutes. After the car enters the work bay, the maintenance technician begins the maintenance. First, they lay out the fender pads and the five-piece set inside the car, then wait for the warehouse to deliver the materials. This is followed by a routine oil change and a safety inspection of the car's condition. If safety issues are identified, the maintenance technician will go to the warehouse to prepare a quote, which is then handed to the service advisor. The service advisor will communicate with the customer to decide whether to proceed with the repairs. If repairs are needed, the waiting time will depend on the specific items to be addressed. If no safety hazards are found, the above process takes about an hour. After the maintenance is completed, the maintenance technician moves the car to the car beauty center for washing. Once the car is washed, the maintenance technician or the quality inspection department will inspect the car. After the inspection, the maintenance technician moves the car to the finished parking space, and the service advisor handles the payment. This process takes about 20 minutes. In summary, car maintenance generally takes about two hours.

How to Identify Whether It's China VI Standard?

Compared to China V, China VI vehicles are equipped with additional components. Moreover, automobile manufacturers incur extra costs from various tests for vehicle declaration announcements and production, leading to significantly higher prices for China VI vehicles than China V vehicles. For example, if you purchased a China V vehicle and a China VI vehicle in January 2019, although both vehicle licenses may indicate 15 years, there will be practical differences in usage. Let's take an already implemented case as an example. A 2010 China III truck and a 2010 China IV truck may still be allowed to operate in Beijing, but with more cities imposing restrictions, many older vehicles are effectively rendered obsolete. Therefore, even for vehicles of the same year, their operational lifespans can differ.

China 6a and China 6b are different. The specific differences are as follows: Different Standards: China 6a and China 6b have different requirements for the content of carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM fine particles in vehicle emissions. Compared to China 6a, China 6b imposes stricter emission requirements for carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM fine particles. The data shows that the requirements are significantly stricter, making China 6a essentially a transitional phase to China 6b. Different Implementation Times: China 6a became mandatory for light-duty vehicles starting from July 1, 2020, while China 6b will be mandatory from July 1, 2023.

How Often Should the Car's Charcoal Canister Be Replaced?

The replacement cycle for the charcoal canister is every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. Relevant details are as follows: If symptoms of hesitation occur: Increased fuel consumption and the smell of gasoline, when troubleshooting is ineffective, it is necessary to check whether the charcoal canister needs replacement. The car's charcoal canister is a tube filled with activated carbon, primarily used to adsorb gasoline vapors released by the carburetor when the engine is stopped. When the engine starts, the adsorbed gasoline is blown out and burned. How the charcoal canister works: The charcoal canister is generally installed between the fuel tank and the engine. It utilizes the adsorption capacity of the internal activated carbon to adsorb and store gasoline vapors from the fuel tank. The role of the charcoal canister: The charcoal canister is a critical component in the fuel system and emission control system. When the engine ignites, the gas inhaled from the charcoal canister is directed into the engine's intake pipe through the canister control valve. The opening, closing, and absorption level of this control valve are determined by the electronic fuel injection system's control unit. The charcoal canister significantly reduces atmospheric pollution caused by exhaust emissions.
