DCT refers to the Dual Clutch Transmission, which is called 'Dual Clutch Transmission' because it has two sets of clutches. According to the structure, it can be divided into dry type and wet type. The following are the methods to distinguish between dry and wet DCT: 1. Whether the clutch plates of the transmission are immersed in the transmission oil: the clutch plates of the dry dual clutch are not immersed in the transmission oil; the clutch plates of the wet dual clutch are immersed in the transmission oil. 2. The connection medium between the driving plate and the driven plate in the clutch is different: the connection medium of the dry dual clutch is air; the connection medium of the wet dual clutch is oil. 3. Different usage situations: generally, the dry type is used in a short-time semi-clutch state; the wet type is mostly used in automatic transmissions, such as the currently commonly used manual-automatic integrated transmission.

Where is the motor vehicle QR code located?

The motor vehicle QR code is located on the accompanying vehicle document. The configuration sheet will have the specific configurations of the vehicle, and there is a QR code on it that displays the detailed information of the vehicle for scanning. Many parts on the car have labels attached to their surfaces, and these labels will have a very small QR code. Scanning this QR code can display some information about the part. All parts on the car have production dates, and their production dates should be earlier than the vehicle's production date; otherwise, they have been replaced later. When buying a car, you can check the production dates of key parts. Production dates can be found on parts such as the glass, radiator, radiator frame, generator, compressor, headlights, tires, etc.

Do I still need to display the annual inspection sticker under the new traffic regulations?

Under the new traffic regulations, the display of annual inspection stickers is required. Starting from March 2020, many cities began piloting the electronic version of the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark, eliminating the paper sticker and replacing it with an electronic certificate that can be downloaded online. This does not mean that the annual inspection sticker can be omitted in all regions; it still needs to be displayed, but it can be checked electronically. For vehicles under 6 years old, it is necessary to apply for the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office every two years, or you can apply for it online yourself. For vehicles over 6 years old, the inspection sticker must be obtained after each annual inspection. For older vehicles over 15 years, a semi-annual inspection is required to ensure the vehicle meets road standards.

Are There Many Hazards of Crystal Coating for New Cars?

Crystal coating for new cars does not pose many hazards. It's not the coating that damages the car paint but the polishing process. If a new car hasn't undergone long-distance transportation or prolonged storage, polishing isn't necessary before applying crystal coating. However, if it has, polishing is required before the coating. Repeated polishing is equivalent to peeling the car's skin. The original factory paint can't withstand multiple polishings. Once the glossy layer is completely removed, the paint will lose its luster, which is a form of damage to the paint surface. For new cars, the original factory paint is already of good quality, so considering a paint sealant first is advisable. Although sealants don't perform as well as crystal coatings, they still offer good protection. If conditions permit, applying a crystal coating to a new car can effectively protect the original factory paint.

What are the new regulations for mortgaged vehicles in 2020?

2020 new regulations for mortgaged vehicles: Buying and selling mortgaged vehicles is not illegal, but if the mortgage is not lifted and the related debts are not repaid on time, the creditor can apply for the auction of the vehicle to repay the debt. Both or all three parties involved in a legitimate mortgaged vehicle transaction should go to the local vehicle management office, the registration authority for motor vehicles, to complete the mortgage registration. The registration record can be displayed in the motor vehicle registration certificate, which includes a dedicated page for mortgage registration records, showing the mortgage's time, validity period, as well as records of changes and cancellations. The major issue with mortgaged vehicles is that they may be seized by the bank at any time, leading to the vehicle being confiscated and resulting in the loss of both the money and the vehicle.

What to Do If Car Keys Are Locked Inside the Vehicle?

Methods to retrieve car keys locked inside the vehicle: 1. Go home to get the spare key; usually, the spare key should not be kept inside the car; 2. Call the 4S store's after-sales rescue service; 3. Contact a professional locksmith company and present your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration to unlock the car; 4. If you are in a remote location and rescue cannot arrive in time, you may have to break a window. Avoid breaking the windshield, especially the triangular window, as the repair cost will be very high; 5. The last method requires some skill. After the door is closed, there is a small gap along the window. You can remove the window seal, then use a wire or thin rope to lower it along the window gap near the keyhole, loop it around the door latch, and pull up to open the door.
