It is not mandatory to replace a tire if a nail punctures the tire edge; normal repair is sufficient. Punctures at the edge of a tire are quite common, and as long as it can be professionally repaired, the tire can continue to be used. After a tire is punctured by a nail, the vehicle should not be driven to avoid causing secondary damage to the tire. Situations that require tire replacement include: 1. Tread wear reaching the limit: Car tires have wear indicators in the grooves, typically 1.6 mm for household cars. When the tire wear reaches the limit indicator, the tire should no longer be used; 2. Bulging: If a tire shows bulging, it indicates that the cords at the bulging area have broken. Continued use may lead to a tire blowout, necessitating immediate replacement with a new tire.

What are the consequences of not changing the coolant for 5 years?

The consequences of not changing the coolant for 5 years are: 1. The water in the coolant evaporates, causing changes in the freezing point, which affects the effectiveness of the coolant; 2. It fails to provide anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and rust-removal functions for the engine, affecting the engine's service life; 3. It tends to increase the viscosity of the coolant, reducing the cooling and heat dissipation effect. The full name of the coolant is antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze function. The coolant can prevent the cooling liquid from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the car is parked in cold winter. The coolant is mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems and has excellent properties such as antifreeze in winter, anti-boiling in summer, and anti-scaling and anti-corrosion all year round.

How many days can I pick up the car if the other party does not sign?

The car can be picked up in 5 days if the other party does not sign, depending on the handling of the traffic accident. If the vehicle needs to be inspected and appraised, the traffic police will entrust an appraisal agency to conduct a technical appraisal of the vehicle within three days after the on-site investigation is completed. The appraisal completion time shall not exceed 20 days. If it exceeds 20 days, it must be approved by the higher-level traffic management department of the public security authority, but the maximum shall not exceed 60 days. After the appraisal conclusion is issued, the traffic police will deliver the report to the parties within two days. The parties will have three days to decide whether to apply for a re-appraisal after receiving it. If a re-appraisal is needed, the traffic police will arrange for it, with a limit of one re-appraisal. If no re-appraisal is needed, the appraisal conclusion will take effect and be confirmed. Within five days after the confirmation, the traffic police will notify the parties to pick up the vehicle.

How to Add Refrigerant to a Car?

To add refrigerant to a car, follow these steps: Connect the manifold gauge set to the compressor and the refrigerant canister. Open the refrigerant canister and slightly loosen the nut on the middle charging hose. Once you hear the sound of refrigerant vapor flowing, tighten the nut to expel air from the hose. Open the low-pressure manual valve to allow refrigerant to enter the cooling system. When the pressure reaches 0.4 MPa, close the manual valve. Start the engine and turn on the air conditioning, setting both the fan speed and temperature to high. Open the manual valve on the manifold gauge set to allow more refrigerant into the cooling system until the pressure reaches the specified value of 1.37 to 1.67 MPa. Adding refrigerant to a car refers to replenishing the air conditioning system when it can no longer cool or heat effectively due to prolonged use. This is necessary when the system lacks sufficient refrigerant to restore its original performance. Generally, car air conditioning systems have long intervals between refrigerant top-ups. A typical car air conditioner may only need refrigerant every five years if it maintains good cooling performance. For lower-quality car air conditioners, the interval may be shorter, usually requiring professional servicing within two years. High-performance car air conditioners, however, can go up to eight years before needing a refrigerant refill.

Does the 6-year exemption from inspection include the 6th year?

6-year exemption from inspection includes the 6th year, but after the 6th-year exemption expires, the vehicle owner needs to collect the inspection mark from the traffic management department every two years. Vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption are non-operational large sedans, light sedans, and mini passenger vehicles. Other types of vehicles require regular on-site inspections. Vehicle inspection process: 1. Exhaust emission test: Pay the inspection fee at the payment window and wait for the test. Before the test, staff will conduct a preliminary inspection of the vehicle, check the exterior condition, and fill out the exhaust emission test form. 2. Check for violations: The owner needs to collect and fill out the Motor Vehicle Regular Inspection Registration Form at the inquiry window, which can be obtained with the vehicle's driving license. After confirming no violations, proceed to the next step. 3. Pay the deposit. 4. Exterior inspection. 5. On-site inspection (check the vehicle's brakes and lights). 6.
