For small cars under 10 years old, the inspection is required every two years. Here is the relevant information: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the new inspection rules implemented from November 20, 2020, new cars within 6 years can be exempted from inspection twice (inspection marks need to be applied for every two years, but no on-site vehicle inspection is required); at the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for cars between 10 and 15 years old, and every six months for cars over 15 years old. 2. Relevant laws: Article 13 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use shall undergo regular safety technical inspections according to laws and administrative regulations, based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life. For vehicles that provide a motor vehicle driving license and compulsory third-party liability insurance, the motor vehicle safety technical inspection institution shall conduct the inspection, and no additional conditions may be imposed by any unit.

What is the diameter of an 18-inch tire in centimeters?

18-inch wheel diameter is 45.72 centimeters. Related introduction is as follows: Components of a tire: Tires are generally composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. The inner layer of the tire has a rubber layer with excellent air tightness, gradually moving towards lightweight development. The outer tire mainly consists of the carcass buffer, tread, sidewall, and bead, with the carcass and bead forming the stress-bearing structure of the car's pneumatic tire. Advantages of 18-inch wheels: Leap in handling performance: The contact area of larger wheels is greater than that of the original wheels, resulting in increased friction and improved handling performance, second only to the effect of changing shock absorbers, making high-speed driving more stable. Enhanced safety factor: In case of a tire blowout, the diameter reduction of larger wheels is smaller than that of the original wheels, making it easier to correct direction and significantly improving the safety factor.

Can I still drive with the engine oil life showing 15%?

It is not advisable to drive with the engine oil life showing 15%. The functions of engine oil are as follows: Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Cooling: Engine oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator to cool the engine. Cleaning: Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation. The flow of the lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts. Sealing and leakage prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston ring and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.

What is the difference between gasoline types?

98-octane, 95-octane, and 92-octane gasoline differ in the following aspects: Different quality levels: 98-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating, while 95 and 92-octane gasoline have lower octane ratings. Higher octane fuel provides better anti-knock performance, resulting in smoother engine operation. Different fuel consumption: 98-octane gasoline has lower fuel consumption, while 95 and 92-octane gasoline have higher fuel consumption. The higher the gasoline grade (i.e., the higher the octane content), the less likely it is to cause knocking, and the better the engine's anti-knock performance during combustion. Car owners should choose gasoline based on their engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with higher compression ratios should use higher-grade gasoline to ensure strong power output and lower costs while preventing engine knocking.

Is the Volkswagen Lavida Plus equipped with a timing belt or a timing chain?

Volkswagen Lavida models produced before May 2013 are equipped with timing chains, while those produced after May 2013 come with timing belts. Replacement cycle for timing chains: The chain is made of micro-alloy material and is lubricated by engine oil inside the engine. Theoretically, its service life can last until the vehicle is scrapped. However, the chain tensioner has a wear life of only 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers and needs to be replaced when the time comes. The purchase price of the tensioner is basically only one-tenth of that of a timing belt. Replacement cycle for timing belts: Timing belts generally need to be replaced after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Once the timing belt breaks, the camshaft will definitely not operate according to the timing.

What are the differences between full-size and non-full-size spare tires?

The differences between full-size and non-full-size spare tires are: 1. Different sizes: The full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is narrower or has a smaller rim size. 2. Different driving speeds: The full-size spare tire has no speed limit as long as it complies with traffic regulations; the non-full-size spare tire cannot exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 3. Different weights: The full-size spare tire weighs the same as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is lighter than the four original tires. The process of replacing a spare tire: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Lift the vehicle with a jack; 3. Remove the screws that secure the wheel, turning counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten; 4. Remove the tire; 5. Replace it with the spare tire.
