Audi A4L Ibis White is not a metallic paint; it belongs to the category of standard paint. Generally, white and black car paints do not come in metallic finishes. Paint Oxidation: It is often observed that white car paint tends to turn yellow. The yellowing of white paint is not due to a change in the vehicle's paint pigment but rather because there is a clear coat layer over the white paint that protects the base coat. The main component of the clear coat is epoxy resin, which is relatively prone to oxidation and degradation. It undergoes an oxidation reaction simply by being exposed to air. Purchasing a Car Cover: If you purchase a model with white paint, it is recommended to avoid leaving the vehicle parked under the sun for extended periods during daily use. For outdoor parking, it is advisable to use a car cover. This not only helps prevent damage from UV rays and sand but also maintains the cleanliness of the paint.

Why does the motorcycle turn signal sometimes work and sometimes not?

The reasons why the motorcycle turn signal sometimes works and sometimes not include a damaged relay, poor contact in the turn signal switch, or poor bulb contact. Inspection method for motorcycle instrument turn signal not working: Check if there is power for the fuel gauge, power indicator light, horn, etc. If there is no power, it may be a fault with the ignition switch, battery, or power supply. If there is power but all four turn signals are not working, the flasher may be damaged. You can directly inspect the flasher to see if there is power input. If the flasher-ignition switch still does not work, check the turn signal switch and the turn signal lights. Introduction to turn signals: Turn signals are important indicator lights that are turned on when a motor vehicle is turning to alert vehicles and pedestrians in front, behind, and on both sides. The turn signal tube uses a xenon tube, controlled by a single-chip microcomputer circuit, with alternating left and right flashing that works continuously. The turn signal uses a flasher to achieve light flashing. It can mainly be divided into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type.

How much coolant loss is normal after 5,000 kilometers?

Coolant consumption is normal. Generally, coolant should be topped up every 20,000 kilometers, and a loss of about one-quarter after 5,000 kilometers is considered normal. Coolant typically loses 10%-36% of its volume per year. Rubber and metal pipes under constant high temperatures may age due to thermal expansion and contraction. Precautions for using coolant: 1. Try to use the same brand of coolant: Different brands of coolant use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed. 2. Most coolants have a shelf life of two years: When topping up, ensure the product is within its validity period; when replacing, drain the old coolant completely, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new coolant. 3. Avoid diluting with water: Traditional inorganic coolants should not be diluted with water, as this can cause sedimentation and severely affect the coolant's normal function. Organic coolants can be diluted with water, but not too much. 4. Flocculent precipitation: Some coolants may develop small amounts of flocculent precipitation after being stored for a year. This is mostly caused by additive precipitation and does not require disposal. However, if a large amount of granular precipitation appears, it indicates the coolant has deteriorated and should no longer be used.

How often is annual vehicle inspection required?

For small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, within the first 6 years, inspection is required every 2 years. After 6 years, it becomes an annual inspection. For vehicles over 15 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. According to relevant regulations, the annual inspection date is based on the registration date shown on the vehicle license. From the date of initial registration, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections (commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review") according to the following schedule. For non-commercial micro or small passenger vehicles, they are exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years, but the annual inspection sticker must be collected every 2 years. After 6 years, annual inspection is required, with the inspection month based on the registration month shown on the vehicle license. If the vehicle reaches 15 years of age, semi-annual inspections are required. For commercial passenger vehicles, annual inspection is mandatory every year. For vehicles over 5 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. For large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks, within the first 10 years, annual inspection is required. After 10 years, the inspection frequency changes to every 6 months. The inspection must be completed within the month when the current inspection expires, as clearly indicated in the supplementary page of the license. It's best not to exceed this deadline, as insurance companies will not provide compensation for accidents involving vehicles with expired inspections.

What is the tariff rate for imported cars?

The current tariff rate for imported cars is 15%. Since July 1, 2018, the import tariffs on complete vehicles and auto parts have been reduced. The tariff rates for 135 tariff lines with a 25% rate and 4 tariff lines with a 20% rate for complete vehicles have been lowered to 15%, while the tariff rates for 79 tariff lines for auto parts with rates of 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% have been reduced to 6%. The reduction in import car tariffs brings several benefits: 1. Promoting the development of the domestic automotive industry: After multiple stages of development, the industry has reached a level where it can further integrate and compete internationally. It is time to relax protective mechanisms, encourage competition between domestic and foreign automakers, and accelerate structural adjustments and transformations, thereby promoting better development of China's automotive industry under more open conditions. 2. Advancing supply-side structural reforms in the automotive industry: The tariff reduction will undoubtedly intensify competition in the domestic automotive market, significantly increasing pressure on domestic automakers. Many independent brands will accelerate their transformation and upgrading, further driving supply-side structural reforms in the automotive industry. 3. Boosting consumption: With the deepening of reform and opening-up, lowering import car tariffs helps expand imports and domestic demand while meeting the needs of domestic consumption upgrades. The reduction in the retail prices of imported cars will inevitably pose a threat to joint-venture and independent brands in the same segment. Therefore, lowering prices and improving product quality will be the way forward for joint-venture and independent automakers, which is clearly more beneficial for consumers.
