The number of years a car can be driven before it is scrapped depends on various circumstances: 1. There is no usage period limit for household cars, but they will be guided to scrap after driving 600,000 kilometers; 2. Small and mini rental passenger cars have a usage period of 8 years; 3. Medium rental passenger cars have a usage period of 10 years; 4. Large rental passenger cars have a usage period of 12 years; 5. Public transport passenger cars have a usage period of 13 years; 6. Special school buses have a usage period of 15 years; 7. Large and medium non-operational passenger cars have a usage period of 20 years. The car scrapping process is as follows: 1. The car owner fills out and submits an application form; 2. The application is registered and reviewed, and a scrapping notice is issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation, a notice will be issued if they meet the car scrapping standards; 3. The car owner takes the car scrapping notice to a qualified recycling company to deliver the vehicle; 4. The company inspects and disassembles the car and takes photos; 5. The car owner checks and signs the form, and the license plate is recycled, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations.

How often should new car tires be replaced?

Car tire replacement mainly depends on mileage and years of use. Under comprehensive road conditions, tires should be replaced every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, or every 3-5 years. Below is relevant information: 1. Tires undergo prolonged friction with the ground, causing the rubber to age. When cracks appear on the tires, replacement measures must be taken to avoid potential safety hazards. It is recommended to have them inspected every six months after about 5 years of use. If the wear is severe and the balance feels off, replacement is necessary at this point. 2. Generally, tire dealers do not specify a clear time frame, but it is advisable to use them for at least three years, up to about five years. If the mileage reaches 30,000-50,000 kilometers, the tires should be replaced.

What are the methods to resolve the P0337 fault code?

Fault code P0336 indicates a circuit malfunction in the crankshaft position sensor. This fault is sporadic and can be resolved by simply replacing the 7X crankshaft position sensor harness. Below are the steps to clear the P0336 fault code: 1. After troubleshooting the vehicle, it is necessary to clear the fault code. When clearing the fault code, strictly follow the specific method designated for the particular vehicle model. 2. Avoid randomly using the method of disconnecting the battery negative terminal to clear the fault code. Carelessness may lead to two abnormal conditions: first, it may cause the adjustment center of some vehicle models to lose normal records. Most vehicle computers have an automatic memory function, and if the battery negative terminal is disconnected, useful engine operation data stored in the memory will be erased. 3. Secondly, the above method may result in the loss of some normal functions, such as the common example of audio system lockout.

What to Do When the Car Battery Dies and the Mechanical Lock Won't Open the Door?

Here are the solutions when the car battery dies and the mechanical lock won't open the door: 1. Jump-start the vehicle: Try crawling under the car and using a tool to hook the actuator of the engine hood from below, then open the hood to get a jump-start from another car, which will allow you to open the door. 2. Use the key to open the passenger door: Some models allow both the driver and passenger doors to be opened with a mechanical key. If the driver door cannot be opened, the lock cylinder may be damaged. In this case, try opening the passenger door to enter the car. Below are the reasons why the mechanical lock won't open the door: 1. Mechanical key mismatch: If the key has just been replaced, the new key may not match the lock cylinder, preventing the door from opening. 2. Frozen door: In winter, if it snows overnight, the low temperature can freeze the door shut. In this situation, even if the lock cylinder is unlocked, the door won't open. 3. Faulty lock cylinder: If internal parts of the lock cylinder are broken, the key may turn but the door won't open.

How to eliminate the ABS warning light displayed on the car?

"ABS" stands for "Anti-lock Braking System". The methods to eliminate the ABS warning light displayed on the car are as follows: 1. Visit a 4S shop for professional repair and use a computer to clear the fault code. 2. You can try to diagnose and eliminate the fault cause by yourself. The reasons that may cause the ABS light to turn on are as follows: 1. The battery voltage is too low. Check whether the battery voltage is at 12V. 2. ABS circuit fault. Check the relay and ABS control circuit to see if there are broken wires, loose interfaces, or relays not installed firmly. 3. Check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If the fluid level is too low, add brake fluid to bring the level back to the normal range. 4. Faulty wheel speed sensor. Check the four wheel speed sensors for any foreign objects.

How to use ETC?

ETC usage methods are as follows: 1. If the highway toll station has dedicated ETC lanes at the entrance or exit, vehicle owners can directly pass through the ETC lane without stopping. 2. If the toll station entrance has a dedicated ETC lane but the exit does not or it is closed for some reason, the vehicle owner can remove the ETC card from the onboard electronic tag at the manual toll lane exit and hand it to the toll collector for swiping to pass and pay the toll. 3. If the entrance toll station does not have a dedicated ETC lane or it is closed for some reason, but the exit toll station operates normally, the vehicle owner can remove the ETC card at the manual toll lane entrance, hand it to the toll collector for swiping, and then reinsert it to pass directly through the dedicated ETC lane without stopping. 4. If both the highway entrance and exit toll stations do not have dedicated ETC lanes or they are closed for some reason, the vehicle owner can take a toll card or remove the ETC card at the manual toll lane entrance and hand it to the toll collector for swiping to pass. The exit can be processed using the corresponding method. Below is related information about ETC: 1. ETC is an Electronic Toll Collection system. It refers to a system where vehicles passing through a toll station use onboard equipment to achieve vehicle identification, information writing (at the entrance), and automatic deduction of corresponding funds from a pre-bound IC card or bank account (at the exit). It is an electronic toll collection system for roads, bridges, and tunnels that is being actively developed and promoted internationally. 2. Vehicle owners only need to install a sensor card on their car window and prepay the fees. When passing through a toll station, there is no need for manual payment or stopping, as the toll will be automatically deducted from the card.

What is inside a three-way catalytic converter?

A three-way catalytic converter consists of four main components: the shell, vibration damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. The specific details about the three-way catalytic converter are as follows: 1. Metals contained in the three-way catalytic converter: Platinum is one of the metals found in automotive three-way catalytic converters. Other metals include cerium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, palladium, and rhodium. The content of these metals varies depending on the vehicle model and production batch. However, the content of platinum, palladium, and rhodium determines the recycling value of the automotive three-way catalytic converter. 2. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial external purification device in the automotive exhaust system: It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Since the three-way catalytic converter can simultaneously convert the three main harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called 'three-way.' 3. Working principle of the three-way catalytic converter: When high-temperature vehicle exhaust passes through the purification device, the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, promoting specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. This process transforms the three harmful gases into harmless ones, thereby purifying the vehicle exhaust.
