The solutions for brakes not returning to position are as follows: 1. A broken or lost elasticity return spring can easily cause the brake not to return to position. Simply replace the brake pedal return spring. 2. The brake caliper piston seizing can cause braking resistance, and the brake caliper remains fixed. When braking, the caliper clamps the brake disc to complete the braking action. If the caliper seizes, not only will the brake pedal fail to return, but the car will also be unable to move forward. In this case, replacing the brake caliper is necessary. 3. If the rear wheel bearing is fixed or installed incorrectly, or if the rear wheel bearing is worn, dry, or damaged, the brake pads may be in an improper position, leading to the pedal not returning. 4. If the front and rear brake pads are contaminated by lubricating oil or brake fluid, or if the brake pads are worn, damaged, polished, or deformed due to overheating, simply replace the brake pads directly.

Is it troublesome to deregister a car sold as scrap metal?

Troublesome, because vehicles turned into scrap metal are considered privately scrapped without any relevant documentation. Specific details are as follows: 1. Privately scrapped vehicles cannot be dismantled or sold without authorization: After submitting the deregistration application, it is considered incomplete deregistration procedures and will not be recognized by the local traffic management office. If a vehicle is not scrapped through the normal process but is privately scrapped, deregistration will be more troublesome than usual. 2. According to Article 14 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': The state implements a mandatory vehicle scrapping system, stipulating different scrapping standards based on the safety technical conditions and different uses of motor vehicles. Vehicles that should be scrapped must promptly complete the deregistration process. Moreover, once a vehicle reaches the scrapping standard, it must be scrapped through official channels.

Do second-hand cars require payment of purchase tax?

The purchase and sale of second-hand cars do not require payment of purchase tax; only new cars are subject to purchase tax. This is one of the cost-saving benefits of buying a used car. Only transfer fees (including transaction invoice fees, license plate fees, and appraisal fees in some regions) are required, typically amounting to a few hundred yuan. Below is relevant information: 1. Regulation: Starting from January 1, 2012, when a vehicle undergoes transfer, relocation, or modification, it is no longer necessary to handle vehicle purchase tax-related procedures with the tax authorities. This refers to the purchase tax portion of the vehicle and does not conflict with any aspects of second-hand car transactions. 2. Purchase Tax: Purchase tax is a tax levied by tax authorities on the acquisition of specified properties and assets within the scope of the purchase tax system, such as vehicle purchase tax. Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on entities and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within China, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge.

What does pumping the brakes mean?

Pumping the brakes refers to: lightly pressing the brake pedal first, then releasing it (but not completely) when the vehicle noticeably slows down, and pressing again when the braking effect is about to fade, repeating this cycle. The pumping brake technique is mainly applicable to: large vehicles without ABS and using air brakes, but this method affects driving smoothness and comfort. Below are additional details: 1. Notes: Since passenger cars are lightweight and not frequently braking during long descents, their wheel hubs won't overheat excessively, so pumping brakes is not recommended for decelerating passenger cars. 2. Reason for using pumping brakes: Because heavy vehicles are much heavier, yet air brakes respond faster than hydraulic brakes, pumping is used to avoid locking the wheels completely, which would prevent steering control. 3. Purpose of pumping brakes: To prevent wheel lockup, thereby maintaining vehicle control and avoiding skidding.

What is the Difference Between Small Trade and Large Trade Motorcycles?

Large trade motorcycles are relatively more secure compared to small trade motorcycles. Small trade motorcycles do not come with the manufacturer's three-guarantee policy. If the vehicle has design defects, it cannot be recalled for free repairs. Large trade motorcycles refer to models produced by foreign manufacturers specifically for the Chinese market, with certified dealers available domestically. Related introduction: 1. The meaning of large trade motorcycles: For an imported motorcycle to reach Chinese consumers, it must first pass two hurdles: taxation and 3C certification. So-called large trade refers to vehicles exported in batches by manufacturers for the Chinese market, carrying the mandatory CCC mark, and introduced to mainland China through 4S stores, spare parts, after-sales services, and information feedback. These vehicles are imported through formal customs channels, sold by authorized dealers, and have purchase taxes paid for licensing. Large trade vehicles can be renamed and transferred at any time. 2. The meaning of small trade motorcycles: The state has a complete set of import vehicle taxation policies upon landing, but for certain foreign enterprises that meet investment conditions, they are allowed to purchase some imported vehicles tax-free. Maintenance, warranty, and whether the vehicle can be licensed are all the responsibility of the buyer. These vehicles cannot be traded or transferred within six years. In the industry, such vehicles are referred to as "small trade procedures," also known as small trade motorcycles.

What does DOHC stand for?

It is a type of automobile engine. A DOHC engine has greater torque and power compared to a conventional engine. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Dual Overhead Camshaft: As the name suggests, DOHC stands for Dual Overhead Camshaft. From the working principle of an engine, it is understood that to complete a working cycle, the processes are intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. The cylinder requires intake and exhaust valves to perform these functions. The role of the camshaft is to mechanically coordinate the opening and closing actions of these valves. SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) means that both the intake and exhaust valves are operated by a single camshaft, while DOHC uses two separate camshafts to independently control the intake and exhaust valves. 2. Advantages: The benefit of DOHC is that it allows for easy adjustment of the timing for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves. This enables the engine to deliver ample torque at low speeds and maximum horsepower output at high speeds. Generally, high-capacity, high-speed engines often adopt DOHC. DOHC does not increase fuel consumption; instead, it allows the engine to perform more efficiently.

What does the marking inside the red circle mean

The marking inside the red circle is a no-entry sign, indicating that all vehicles are prohibited from entering. This sign is placed at the entrance of prohibited roads. Its purpose is to remind drivers not to proceed in the forbidden direction, serving as a warning to prevent traffic accidents. The correct uses of no-entry signs are as follows: 1. Reducing traffic accidents: Proper use of no-entry signs can effectively decrease traffic accidents and protect lives and property. No-entry signs are traffic indicators that prohibit passage, alerting vehicles and pedestrians not to proceed further to avoid dangerous traffic incidents. 2. Facilitating traffic management: Helps traffic police in directing traffic.
