Modifying brake calipers is illegal, as it involves altering the vehicle's design, which constitutes changing the vehicle's structure and will not pass the annual inspection. The annual vehicle inspection helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and encourages better vehicle maintenance. Motor vehicle inspections are divided into initial and regular inspections. Situations where a vehicle cannot undergo inspection include: 1. The vehicle's condition does not match the details recorded in the driving license or vehicle file; 2. The license plate or driving license is damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-replicated; 3. Vehicle modifications, model changes, or technical transformations without proper approval and change procedures; 4. Failure to display the unit name and enlarged license plate characters as required; 5. Improper installation of alarms or indicator lights; 6. Failure to pay road maintenance fees or insurance as required.

How to Steer When the Rear of the Car is Leaning to the Left?

Steering direction is the same as the reversing direction. If the rear of the car leans to the right, steer right, and vice versa. Since the car's steering system controls the front wheels, this means the front wheels need to navigate a relatively large turning radius on the ground when reversing. Therefore, while observing the distance and position behind, it's essential to estimate the position of the front wheels when reversing.

What to Do When the Car Window Gets Stuck and Won't Roll Up?

Glass lifting guide rails are too dirty. Similarly, it's a lubrication issue. Cleaning the glass lifting guide rails and applying lubricating grease can eliminate the fault. When there is sufficient power and no resistance, difficulty in lifting is most likely due to a motor fault. Glass lifter failure, including faults in the glass lifting guide rails, cable faults, slider faults, etc., can only be resolved by replacing the glass lifter. If the glass sealing strip is unsuitable, you can adjust the shape of the strip using DIY methods with scissors, knives, etc.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioning Suddenly Stops Working?

If the pressure is too low, it indicates a lack of refrigerant which needs to be replenished. Insufficient refrigerant will affect the cooling performance of the air conditioning. If the blower malfunctions, the cold air from the air conditioning system cannot be delivered to the car interior in time, resulting in no cold air coming out of the vents. If the surface of the evaporator is too dirty, the cold air from the vents will decrease because the cold air is primarily generated by the evaporator. If there is a leak in the condenser pipeline, the air conditioning system will fail to cool.

How to Repair Exposed Primer on a Car?

Minor scratches that are not very noticeable can be temporarily concealed by waxing. If the scratches are deeper and waxing doesn't help, they can be polished away. Although this won't restore the original appearance, it will make them much less noticeable. If there are dents after the scrape, it's necessary to go to a repair shop for bodywork, painting, and reshaping. It is recommended to avoid dealership service centers (4S shops) for this. If the vehicle's scrape has exposed the primer, you can first use a touch-up paint pen to make a simple repair to prevent rusting.
