Check if it can be repaired, otherwise replacement is necessary. Whether damaged car glass can be repaired depends on two factors: 1. First, check the location of the damage point. Only damage in the whitish area of the glass can be repaired. If it's in a pitted or black adhesive area, it's unnecessary to repair, and it's recommended to replace the glass directly. 2. Second, assess the extent of the damage. If there are extended cracks within the main line of sight, it's advisable to replace the glass directly. If there are no extended cracks and the damage points are few and small, repair is possible. If there are extended cracks but they are not within the main line of sight and extend less than 10 cm, drilling and injecting adhesive to stop the cracks can be done. It's recommended to visit an auto beauty shop for an on-site evaluation to determine the best course of action.

How many subjects are required to upgrade from C3 to C1?

To upgrade from a C3 to a C1 driver's license, you need to pass four subject tests. Unlike upgrading from C2 to C1, which only requires passing Subject 2 and Subject 3 after the new regulations implemented on April 1, 2022, upgrading from C3 to C1 requires passing all subjects, similar to taking the test from scratch. These include theoretical knowledge (Subject 1), field driving skills (Subject 2), road driving skills (Subject 3), and civilized driving theoretical knowledge (Subject 4). Specific test items are as follows: Subject 1: Road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of road traffic safety violations and accidents, regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Subject 2: Reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Preparation before driving, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, knowledge on preventing secondary accidents, and first aid knowledge for injured persons. C1 driver's license permitted vehicle types: Small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. C3 driver's license permitted vehicle types: Low-speed cargo vehicles (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the following conditions must be met to upgrade from C3 to C1: The applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old; Must have held a C3 driver's license for at least one year; No full-score record on the C3 driver's license during the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application; The application for adding permitted vehicle types must be submitted at the place where the current motor vehicle driver's license was issued; No drunk driving or driving under the influence of alcohol within the last three scoring cycles.

Do I Need to Carry My Driver's License with Me?

You must carry your driver's license with you when driving. According to Articles 95 and 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, regardless of whether the driver has committed any traffic violations, they are not allowed to continue driving without their license. The traffic management department of the public security authority will impound the vehicle and require the driver to provide their license. Below is an introduction to the driving test subjects: Subject 1: A test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The structure and basic question types of the test database are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments establish their own test databases based on local conditions. Subject 2: A test on field driving skills, including reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, making a right-angle turn, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory tests: reversing into a parking space, right-angle turns, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: A test on road driving skills, including basic procedures such as vehicle preparation (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seatbelt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: A test on safe and civilized driving knowledge, covering related concepts of safe and civilized driving.

Does BMW Transmission Fluid Need to Be Replaced?

BMW requires transmission fluid replacement. Whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid in BMW vehicles needs to be replaced regularly. Below is relevant information about transmission fluid: Function of Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Reasons for Replacing Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid must be replaced when it reaches the replacement cycle. Over time, the fluid becomes dirty and its viscosity decreases, which reduces its ability to protect the transmission effectively. This can lead to symptoms such as rough shifting, abnormal acceleration, loud noises, and in severe cases, premature transmission damage, shortening the transmission's lifespan.

Do Car Spark Plugs Affect Engine Power?

Spark plugs have a direct impact on the power of a car engine. Faulty spark plugs can cause symptoms such as difficulty starting, low power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. Severely damaged spark plugs may exhibit phenomena like pitting at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance to assess its condition. A normal spark plug will have an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing pitting, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes at the top, the cause of the damage should be identified, and the fault should be resolved before replacing the spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, or that engine oil is leaking into the combustion chamber.

Is Fuel System Cleaning Necessary for Maintenance?

Cleaning the fuel system is indeed necessary. Gasoline inevitably contains certain impurities, which generate carbon deposits in the combustion chamber over time. As these deposits accumulate, they can impair combustion efficiency, subsequently affecting engine performance and increasing fuel consumption. Issues such as poor fuel injector atomization, engine weakness, poor acceleration, and non-compliant exhaust emissions may arise. Below are the maintenance and cleaning procedures for the fuel system: 1. Regularly add a high-quality fuel system cleaner. Typically, cleaning should be performed every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. The cleaner effectively removes carbon deposits, sediments, and gum from the combustion chamber, intake valves, fuel injectors, and fuel lines while driving. Keeping the fuel system clean helps decompose moisture in the fuel and reduces harmful emissions. 2. Use specialized equipment for cleaning, such as a no-disassembly cleaning method that involves adding a cleaning solution through a supply device, commonly referred to as "hanging an IV bottle." This method allows for cleaning without disassembling the engine during operation, providing protection and effectively avoiding damage caused by disassembly. Most 4S shops adopt this approach.
