15-year-old cars require two inspections per year. Vehicle annual inspection mainly refers to the safety inspection of the car, including comprehensive checks on the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Items required for the annual inspection include: 1. Compulsory traffic insurance; 2. ID card of the owner or agent; 3. Vehicle registration certificate. According to relevant traffic regulations, cars older than 15 years must undergo two inspections annually. The inspection must not exceed the specified time frame, and the inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance or postponed by one month. If the inspection is delayed by two months, the driver will be fined and penalized with demerit points. In case of a traffic accident, if the insured vehicle has not undergone the annual inspection on time, fails the inspection, or lacks valid driving documents, the insurer will not be liable for compensation.

Why Can't the Volkswagen Car Key Be Pulled Out?

Reasons why the Volkswagen Lavida key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine: 1. The key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine because the gear is not fully returned to the P position: Check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot, remove them, start the car, and shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to position, then the key can be pulled out. 2. The key cannot be turned after insertion: The main reason is that the steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when the car was last parked, causing the steering wheel to lock abnormally. You can try turning the key gently with your right hand while gently shaking the steering wheel left and right with your left hand, and the key should turn. Precautions for using car keys: 1. Conventional keys: Release the key immediately after starting the engine. Holding it for too long can damage the engine belt. Avoid hanging the car key with other keys or accessories. 2. Smart keys: Smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, so they should not be placed near electronic devices. Avoid throwing or dropping them, as the internal circuits of smart keys are not resistant to strong impacts and can be easily damaged by severe collisions.

Why doesn't the window roll down when holding the unlock button on a Volkswagen?

When holding the unlock button on a Volkswagen and the window doesn't roll down, this may be due to the one-touch window function failing and needing to be reinitialized. It is recommended to contact a 4S shop. How the one-touch window key works: The key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) then performs the open/close action. The maintenance methods for one-touch windows are as follows: 1. Keep the window glass clean: The most common issue with power windows is the hardening or accumulation of dirt in the rubber tracks of the glass, causing the glass to move unevenly or get stuck. In such cases, it is important to keep the window glass clean. Dirty glass not only affects appearance and visibility but may also interfere with the operation of the power window. 2. The glass must be kept clean regularly: To prevent rainwater from entering the car, there is a rubber strip attached to the top of the window frame, which is also in frequent contact with the glass. When the glass is dirty, friction with the rubber strip increases, affecting the window's operation. Therefore, the glass must be kept clean regularly.

Where are the places where you cannot park at will?

Places where you cannot park at will include: on slopes, at intersections, in passageways, in fire lanes, under trees, under windows, under balconies, and in remote areas. On slopes: The biggest danger of parking on a slope is the risk of the car rolling, and prolonged parking can easily damage the braking system. If you must park on a slope, be sure to engage the handbrake firmly, and it's best to place a rock behind the wheels as an additional precaution. Intersections and passageways: When parking, try to stay away from intersections and passageways. Parking in these areas not only obstructs the normal passage of others and other vehicles but also increases the risk of vehicle scratches and can even lead to other traffic accidents. Fire lanes: Never park in fire lanes. Keeping these lanes clear ensures that in the event of a fire, fire trucks can reach the scene promptly to carry out rescue operations. Under trees: Many car owners park under trees to avoid direct sunlight. However, this can also damage the car's paint. Bird droppings, leaves, and other debris can be corrosive to the car's finish. Under windows and balconies: When parking in residential areas, stay away from areas beneath windows and balconies to avoid damage from falling flower pots, glass bottles, cigarette butts, or other debris. Remote areas: Parking in remote or poorly lit areas not only increases the risk of car theft but also poses a threat to personal safety.

What does it mean when a wrench and fuel tank light flash in a Volkswagen?

When a wrench and fuel tank light flash in a Volkswagen, it is a reminder for the vehicle to undergo maintenance and to add engine oil. The manufacturer has pre-programmed a maintenance reminder function into the vehicle's onboard computer data. After the vehicle has been driven a certain number of kilometers, a wrench symbol will light up to remind the owner to perform car maintenance. Of course, this wrench indicator can also be reset. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, engine hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect the body for damage, tilting, or any signs of oil or water leakage. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fixation of engine components and inspect all engine joints for oil or water leakage. Adjust and tighten belts, and check the fixation of all hoses and wiring. Top up engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from the engine hood, door, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. The general service life of antifreeze is 2 years, so it should be replaced during maintenance, and the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.

Why does the Volkswagen make a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel?

Introduction to the reasons why the Volkswagen makes a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If the turn signal is turned on while steering, this sound may be caused by the reset mechanism of the turn signal's automatic return. The owner needs to confirm this situation. If it is the case, then this is a normal occurrence. 2. Abnormal noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be caused by the steering column dust cover. Due to insufficient lubrication of the dust cover, friction sounds will occur. The owner only needs to apply some grease inside the dust cover, and the noise will disappear. 3. Abnormal noise from the steering wheel: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, the problem is most likely caused by the airbag coil inside the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel airbag coil and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still occurs, replace the airbag coil. 4. Abnormal noise from the shock absorber plane bearing: If the noise comes from outside the car, it may be caused by insufficient lubrication of the shock absorber plane bearing. Simply open the hood and listen to see if the sound is coming from the top of the shock absorber to determine if it is the shock absorber plane bearing making the noise.
