For family-use small passenger vehicles, new cars require inspection every 6 years, and owners only need to collect the inspection certificate from the vehicle management office every 2 years. After 6 years up to 15 years, annual inspection is required. After 15 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Annual inspection refers to the annual or biennial safety inspection of vehicles, including comprehensive checks on components such as horns, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. The inspection schedule for various vehicles is as follows: 1. For passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required annually within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. 2. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required annually within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. 3. For small and micro non-passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually thereafter up to 15 years, and every 6 months after 15 years. 4. For motorcycles, inspection is required every 2 years within the first 4 years, and annually thereafter. 5. For tractors and other motor vehicles, inspection is required annually.

Where is the fuel filter located in the Ford Escort?

The fuel filter in the Ford Escort is located inside the fuel tank. Fuel filter positions are categorized into built-in and external types. Replacing the built-in type is more complicated, as it requires removing the fuel pump beneath the rear seats for replacement. The external type can be directly removed from underneath the vehicle, adjacent to the fuel tank. Here are some additional details: Fuel Filter: The initial replacement for the Ford Escort fuel filter is recommended at 4 years or 75,000 kilometers, followed by every 4 years or 80,000 kilometers thereafter, whichever comes first. The cost of replacing a built-in fuel filter is relatively high. However, performing the replacement yourself is quite challenging and requires a certain level of technical skill to accomplish.

How Long Does a Turbocharger Last?

Early models had a slightly shorter lifespan than the engine components, typically around 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. With current turbo technology being highly advanced, modern turbocharged engines can now last approximately 250,000 kilometers. Additional Information: 1. Advantages of Turbocharging: It can significantly increase engine power and torque without enlarging engine displacement. Turbocharged engines are not only more fuel-efficient but also reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulates. 2. Daily Maintenance: Due to the high operating temperatures and unique structure of turbochargers, there are special requirements for engine oil selection. Conventional engine oils used in regular gasoline engines during maintenance do not meet the requirements for turbocharged models. Therefore, it is essential to use specialized engine oil designed for turbocharged vehicles during maintenance.

How Many Years Until a Family Car is Scrapped?

For family vehicles, including 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs that are non-commercial small or mini vehicles, there is no mandatory retirement age. However, when the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the owner to scrap the vehicle. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period restrictions. Vehicle scrapping process: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping Approval Application Form" with the owner's seal affixed. After applying at the registration and acceptance counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner must then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle and submit the "Notice" to them. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photographs after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Alteration Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the case will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

Which lane to enter when turning right?

Generally, turn left into the leftmost lane and turn right into the rightmost motor vehicle lane. When making a U-turn, the car should align with the lane it intends to enter. However, sometimes it is necessary to adjust flexibly based on road conditions. For example, if there is an obstacle in the leftmost lane when turning left, you will have to enter another lane, and the same applies when turning right. The reasons for turning right into the right lane are as follows: 1. Explanation one: Turning right is only allowed into the rightmost lane, and attention should be paid to whether there are right-turn traffic restrictions or signal lights. Normally, after turning left from the left fast lane, you still need to continue driving in the left fast lane for a certain distance. Only after confirming that the adjacent lane is clear or at a safe distance can you turn on the turn signal and switch to the slow lane. If the left two lanes of a three-lane road (fast and slow lanes) both allow left turns. 2. Explanation two: When driving in the middle slow lane and turning left, you need to continue driving in the slow lane. When turning left, pay attention to oncoming right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction. 'Left big, right small' refers to the steering wheel, not the driving lane. Imagine if the target road has only two lanes and no safety island, left-turning traffic entering the slow lane would easily collide with the right-turning traffic merging from the right.
