5 years. The service life of a gasoline pump is 5 years. It mainly depends on mileage and fuel quality. Replacement is not necessary if it does not affect engine performance. Below is extended information on the causes of automotive fuel pump damage: 1. Not refueling promptly: Gasoline has a cooling and lubricating effect on the fuel pump. Delaying refueling after the fuel warning light comes on can reduce the cooling and lubricating effects, leading to fuel pump damage. 2. Insufficient fuel pressure: When the fuel level warning light in the dashboard illuminates, the fuel pump motor may not receive adequate cooling and lubrication due to the low fuel level, causing the motor to overheat or even stop. 3. Long-term neglect of gasoline filter replacement: Severe blockage in the fuel supply system due to an unchanged gasoline filter forces the fuel pump to work harder, and prolonged high-load operation can also cause fuel pump damage. 4. Poor fuel quality: When fuel quality is poor, impurities or foreign objects may be present in the fuel tank. Large particles are blocked by the filter screen, while small particles are sucked into the fuel pump motor, accelerating its wear.

Black license plates are used for diplomatic vehicles, and some foreign-funded enterprises also have them. The conditions for obtaining a black license plate are as follows: Foreign, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan merchants who invest a certain amount in establishing businesses in the mountainous areas of Guangdong Province, or a specified amount in non-mountainous areas, may be permitted to register one Hong Kong private car for entry and exit to mainland China during the contract period. Those investing a specified amount in Guangdong Province may be permitted to register one Macau private car for entry and exit to mainland China during the contract period. Foreign, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan merchants investing in Guangdong Province through intellectual property or high-tech methods may apply under the standards of the first and second clauses. Foreign, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan merchants investing in China through investment companies, which in turn invest in Guangdong Province, may also apply under the first and second clauses. Foreign financial institutions (excluding representative offices) established in Guangdong Province with investments reaching the specified amount may be permitted to register one Macau private car for entry and exit to mainland China. The procedure for obtaining a black license plate is as follows: The reception desk verifies the agent's authorization and the identification of both the principal and the agent, checks the submitted documents, and if compliant, enters the company name and Hong Kong/Macau vehicle license plate number into the computer, establishes preliminary file information, and issues an "Acceptance Receipt" to the agent. For applications from the Guangdong International Relations Research Office, public security organs, or state security organs for private cars entering and exiting mainland China, the documents are submitted to the bureau leadership for approval after receipt. Non-compliant applications are rejected. If documents are suspected of forgery or alteration, the names are added to a blacklist database after leadership approval. Based on the application content, the reception desk enters the Hong Kong/Macau vehicle and driver information into the computer and forwards it to the review desk. The review desk verifies the documents and computer records, and if compliant, forwards them to the business leadership desk. The business leadership desk reviews the documents in accordance with the monthly quota for private cars entering and exiting mainland China, checks the computer records, and if compliant, forwards them to the license management desk for certificate issuance.

What is the new regulation for 6-year to 10-year exemption from annual inspection for family cars?

For family cars, the new regulation for 6-year to 10-year exemption from annual inspection is: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational vehicles (excluding minivans) that are 6 to 10 years old will change from an annual inspection to a biennial inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Regulations regarding vehicle annual inspections are stipulated in documents such as the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law." Before the annual inspection, some preparatory work is needed (such as knowing relevant information, making online appointments, understanding the process, and being aware of vehicle-related issues) to ensure a smooth and successful inspection. There are initial and regular annual inspections, as well as some related policies. 2. Timing: Vehicles can apply for an annual inspection within three months before the inspection date. It is best to apply two months or more than one month in advance. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively fewer appointments, making it an ideal time to avoid queues. The number of vehicles increases from the middle of the month, and the end of the month is the peak period.

Can a Financed Vehicle Undergo Color Change Registration?

Color change registration is possible, but financed vehicles require the vehicle registration certificate to complete the process as per regulations. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no registration for modification is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered and documented within 10 days after the color alteration. Precautions for Vehicle Color Change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult with the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the area permits color changes via vehicle wraps. If the region does not support this method, registration cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents required for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Original and photocopy of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent. Original vehicle registration certificate. Original vehicle license. Payment of all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required to apply in advance to the vehicle management office. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change in usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to non-commercial use or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles. According to Article 79 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if the body color is changed without completing the required modification registration, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.

What is the battery model for the Buick Excelle car key?

The battery model is CR2032. It is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C- indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R- indicates that the shape of the battery is cylindrical, if it is square, F is used instead; 20 indicates that the diameter of the battery is 20mm; 32 represents the height of the battery is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity is about 200mAh. CR2032 usually has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is not high or quality control is poor, its lifespan will be greatly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can basically guarantee this lifespan. If the usage environment is ideal (sealed, room temperature, no moisture, etc.), its lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of the vehicle remote key battery is closely related to the frequency of use. The more frequently it is used, the shorter the usage time will be. If the remote key battery runs out of power, you can directly use the mechanical key to open the vehicle and start it. The batteries used in car remote keys are button batteries, mainly including models: CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, and CR2450. For the specific model used in each key, the owner can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: The usage rate of car key remotes is very high, almost one of the most common car remote batteries. The voltage of this battery is 3V, and general car key batteries are powered by 9V, so every time the battery is replaced, three batteries need to be replaced. Examples include: Guangben, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc. CR2016 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 1.6mm. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than that of CR2016. However, some car keys still use it. It is thicker than the 2016 model but has a relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 2.5mm. This type of battery is also commonly used in audio remotes. Button battery CR2032: Its thickness is twice that of CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery belongs to the lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode material is chemically very stable manganese dioxide, the negative electrode material is lithium metal, and the electrolyte is a lithium battery. The main components of the electrolyte are ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene carbonate, and lithium perchlorate. It is shaped like a button, hence the name button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery. Button battery CR2450: Compared to the other three models, it is thicker and larger, with a diameter of 24.5mm and a height of 5.0mm. The rated current value of CR2450 is 0.2mA, mainly used in low-power electronic products. Generally, the battery can provide an output current of 0.001mA to 5mA, a continuous output current of up to 15mA, and a flash output current of up to 30mA, meeting the requirements of most small electronic products for light emission, sound, and RF output.
