Private passenger vehicles require biannual inspections after 15 years. I. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles (i.e., private cars): • Inspections every 2 years for vehicles under 6 years old; • Annual inspections for vehicles over 6 years old; • Biannual inspections for vehicles over 15 years old, with emissions testing conducted during the annual inspection period. For new vehicles, the inspection validity period is annotated for 2 years corresponding to the month of initial registration. II. Required documents for annual vehicle inspection: 1. The vehicle itself; 2. Complete vehicle license (original and duplicate copies); 3. Valid 1-year third-party liability insurance policy (original). For installment purchases without the original policy, provide a copy (with insurer's stamp), insurance card, and explanation; 4. Identity document and its copy (both required). Trim the photocopy neatly along edges. For company vehicles, the agent's ID is required.

What is the function of the suspension?

The function of the suspension is to provide cushioning when the vehicle passes over uneven ground; to ensure that the wheels move within a fixed angle, making steering stable; to support the weight of the wheels; and to maintain good contact between the wheels and the ground, ensuring that the driving force and braking force generated between the wheels and the ground are accurately transmitted to the vehicle body. Components of the suspension: The suspension mainly consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, and other components. Externally, the suspension of a car is composed of some rods, tubes, and springs. The suspension transmits the forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while also cushioning the impact forces from uneven road surfaces on the car frame or body, reducing vehicle vibration and ensuring smooth driving. Classification of the suspension: Non-independent suspension system: The wheels on both sides are connected by an integral axle, and the wheels together with the axle are suspended under the frame or body through the elastic suspension system; Independent suspension system: Each wheel is individually suspended under the frame or body through the elastic suspension system.

Can asphalt splashed on the car be washed off?

Asphalt splashed on the car can be washed off. Methods for cleaning asphalt from cars: If it's not too severe, you can directly rinse it with high-pressure water. For stubborn areas, repeated cleaning may be necessary. If the asphalt contamination is severe, it's recommended to purchase a specialized "tar remover" from auto parts stores and apply it appropriately during car washing. However, be sure to rinse thoroughly after using the cleaner. About asphalt removers: Tar remover is a specialized spray for eliminating stains on car bodies. This cleaner can quickly penetrate, dissolve, and remove tar, asphalt, and dirt from car surfaces and alloy wheels. It has remarkable stain-removing, cleaning, and polishing effects. However, this spray also has some corrosive properties, so it's best to wash it off completely after application.

What Situations Will Occur When a Car Has Excessive Carbon Deposits?

When a car has excessive carbon deposits, the following situations may occur: Engine Shaking: The engine produces intermittent and regular shaking under idle conditions. Unstable Engine Idling: The engine speed fluctuates erratically, sometimes high and sometimes low, under idle conditions. Weak Engine Acceleration: When carbon deposits accumulate severely, the engine may experience weak and sluggish acceleration, accompanied by abnormal shaking and increased fuel consumption. Engine Knocking: When carbon deposits in the combustion chamber accumulate excessively, it can inadvertently increase the compression ratio of the engine cylinders. This may lead to premature combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in knocking. Cylinder Scoring: If carbon deposits accumulate near the piston rings or if carbon deposits from the cylinder head or valves fall onto the piston rings, it can cause scoring of the engine cylinders. In severe cases, it may even lead to "seizure" of the cylinder.

What is the reason for engine oil discharge under the dryer tank?

The condition of engine oil discharge under the dryer tank is caused by damage to the air compressor. When this situation occurs, immediate repair is necessary. Prolonged engine oil discharge under the dryer tank may lead to the following consequences: It may cause the engine to experience a lack of engine oil, which will accelerate engine wear. If there is no engine oil in the engine, the engine cannot operate normally. The functions of engine oil: In the engine, it not only serves as a lubricant but also plays roles in cleaning, sealing, buffering, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. When the engine is running, the engine oil forms a thin film on the surface of various components inside the engine, preventing direct contact and friction between them. Over time, the performance of engine oil will degrade, so it needs to be replaced regularly.

What is the VOL function?

vol is the abbreviation of volume, which means sound level in Chinese. In cars, it is mainly used to adjust the volume of the audio system. Advantages of VOL settings: The driver can directly control the electronic devices in the car on the steering wheel without having to search for various buttons on the central console, thus allowing them to focus more on driving and greatly improving driving safety. ESPOFF button: It refers to the "Electronic Stability Program off switch", which can be found on the central console. ESP is enabled by default and is rarely used during daily driving. It is only necessary to press it under certain specific circumstances, such as when the vehicle slides due to heavy rain or snow. If this button is pressed by mistake during normal driving, it may cause accidents such as rollovers or rear-end collisions, and in severe cases, it could even lead to major traffic accidents.
