That day when I was driving my Peugeot 308, the ABS light suddenly came on, which gave me a start. Since ABS is a crucial component of the anti-lock braking system, a malfunction could cause the wheels to lock up during braking, increasing the risk of an accident. I remember last time the light came on because a wheel speed sensor was dirty, and cleaning it myself didn’t help—I ended up having to go to the repair shop. When dealing with this issue, first check if any other warning lights are also on, then gently press the brake pedal to test its response. If the brakes feel soft or unusual, pull over immediately and don’t take risks. The ABS module in Peugeots can sometimes act up, especially in older 308 models. I’d advise against trying to fix it yourself; instead, take it to a proper repair shop to read the fault codes for an accurate diagnosis, or you might end up wasting money on unnecessary repairs. Safety comes first—if the light is on, avoid driving on the highway.

Does a car purchased in 2012 require an annual inspection in 2021?

After the implementation of the new annual inspection regulations in 2020, a car purchased in 2012 will be issued a vehicle inspection certificate valid for 2 years, and no annual inspection will be required in 2021. The specific details are as follows: 1. Within 6 years: According to the new regulations, if the car is new and within 6 years, it can be exempted from inspection twice (an inspection label must be applied for every two years, but no on-site vehicle inspection is required); 2. 6-8 years: The vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection in the 6th and 8th years. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., an annual inspection for cars between 10 and 15 years old, and a semi-annual inspection for cars over 15 years old.

What does it mean when the ECU light is on in a Baojun 730 AGS?

If the warning light has not come on, there is no problem. When the car is running, if certain sensor parameters exceed standard values, the ECU will recognize it as a fault, and the corresponding fault code will be stored. If it is a qualitative fault, the decoder cannot erase it. Introduction to the Car ECU: ECU (Electronic Control Unit), also known as the "vehicle computer" or "on-board computer," is essentially a specialized microcomputer controller for automobiles. Just as humans have a brain, computers have a CPU, and cars have an ECU. Scope of the ECU: Initially, the ECU was used to control engine ignition and fuel injection, so in a narrow sense, it is the engine control unit. As automotive electronic systems evolved, more functions were added, such as controlling the chassis (ESP, ABS, ASR) and controlling the transmission (TCU for automatic transmissions). Therefore, these control units are now collectively referred to as electronic control units, or ECUs in a broader sense.

Does a car registered in June 2012 require an annual inspection in 2021?

2021 does not require an annual inspection, but 2022 does. The annual inspection must be completed before June 2022 for the vehicle to be legally driven. The inspection is an on-site inspection and must be conducted at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Required documents include the compulsory traffic insurance policy and the vehicle registration certificate. Details are as follows: 1. Inspection cycle: The latest for an annual inspection is three cycles. If the vehicle is not inspected for three consecutive cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped by the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Vehicles that are forcibly scrapped cannot be driven on the road, and doing so is illegal. 2. Inspection methods: There are two methods for vehicle annual inspection. The first method is through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123," which is only applicable to vehicles exempt from on-site inspection and must be completed within the inspection period. The second method is on-site inspection, which can be done at the local vehicle management office or vehicle inspection station.

How much engine oil should be added to a Volkswagen 1.4T engine?

Generally, adding about 3.8 liters is sufficient. The specific amount can be checked using the oil dipstick. It is best to use fully synthetic oil. Car buyers must pay special attention not to add too much oil during the process. When the oil level is higher or lower than the acceptable operating range indicated on the dipstick, it can be harmful to the engine. Choosing the right engine oil: The selection of engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements. Do not use high-grade oil in a low-performance engine, nor use low-grade oil in a high-performance engine. Choose oil that matches the engine's specifications. Multi-grade oil is recommended, as it offers advantages such as fuel efficiency, long service life, and high performance. Precautions when adding engine oil: The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick. Engine oil is extremely important for the engine's operation, as it is responsible for both lubrication and heat dissipation. Therefore, the engine should never run low on oil at any time. However, adding excessive oil can have adverse consequences.

Where are the three pipes of the Haval H5 diesel filter located?

Haval H5 diesel filter's three pipes are located when lifting the car or going underneath. The coarse filter is near the fuel tank. The fine filter is on the lower left side of the engine. Introduction to diesel filters: The diesel filter is one of the important components ensuring the quality of diesel entering the engine. Diesel filters are mainly divided into two types: spin-on and replaceable. Function of diesel filters: High-quality diesel filters can effectively block the fine dust and moisture carried in diesel, and can greatly extend the service life of fuel injection pumps, diesel nozzles, and other filtering components. Large and small oil droplets, with the larger ones easily separated by the oil-gas separator, while the smaller ones (suspended oil particles) must be filtered through the micron-level glass fiber layer of the oil-gas separation filter. When the diameter and thickness of the glass fiber are correctly selected, the filter material can intercept, diffuse, and aggregate the oil mist in the gas, achieving the best effect.

Is the fee for license replacement on 12123 paid upon delivery?

The postage for license replacement is paid upon delivery. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Annual review requirements: No annual review is required within the 6-year validity period of the driver's license. Drivers should apply for license replacement at the traffic police branch under their jurisdiction within 90 days before the expiration date. Holders of A, B, N, and P licenses no longer need to undergo annual reviews during the validity period, but within 15 days of the original annual review deadline, they should go to the vehicle management section of the traffic police branch under their jurisdiction to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," fill it out as required, attach a photo, undergo a medical examination at a designated hospital, and then submit the form back to the vehicle management section for computer confirmation. 2. Medical examination: Drivers aged 60 and above, regardless of the type of license they hold, must go to the vehicle management section of the traffic police branch under their jurisdiction during the original annual review period to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," undergo a medical examination at a designated hospital, and then submit the form back to the vehicle management section for computer confirmation.
