Vehicle inspection stations are closed during the National Day holiday. Vehicle Inspection Process at the DMV: Bring your driver's license, ID card, vehicle registration, and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. Drive the vehicle to the DMV or an authorized vehicle inspection station. (If someone is acting as your agent, the agent must bring their driver's license and ID card.) Fill out the annual vehicle inspection application form at the DMV. Then submit the form and all other required documents to the staff and pay the inspection fee. After payment, proceed outside where the staff will conduct an exterior inspection of the vehicle. Ensure you have a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle ready. Once the exterior inspection is completed, proceed immediately to the online inspection. Process and Workstation: When handling vehicle registration, driver's license tests, and issuance services, the DMV must use a business process record form (hereinafter referred to as the "Process Record Form") to document the procedures for vehicle registration and driver's license tests and issuance. Upon completing their tasks, each workstation must sign the Process Record Form. The supervisory workstation or business leadership workstation should note clear handling opinions on the Process Record Form when addressing issues reported by other workstations. The Process Record Form is archived in the vehicle and driver's records.

As someone who has worked with cars for many years, I can tell you that during holidays like National Day, vehicle inspection centers are mostly closed. National statutory holidays usually run from October 1st to 7th, and inspection stations, as government service agencies, generally take time off unless there is a special announcement about overtime arrangements. I recommend car owners get their annual inspections done one or two weeks in advance, rather than waiting until the last minute. Otherwise, driving with an expired inspection could result in fines or even accidents. I often hear friends complain about not being able to get their cars inspected during holidays, forcing them to rush to repair shops for last-minute checks, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Everyone knows the importance of annual inspections—they ensure vehicle safety. Don’t let holidays delay things; check the official website or call your local inspection station for their opening hours first.

What Causes the Car Brake Pedal to Shake?

Brake pedal shaking can be caused by the following reasons: 1. First, rule out a normal phenomenon where the ABS system causes brake pedal rebound during emergency braking. 2. Check if the brake discs and pads are severely worn and whether the runout exceeds tolerance. Measure and replace any faulty components if necessary. 3. When braking on slippery roads, the ABS anti-lock system activates, causing the brake pedal to vibrate. Here are solutions for brake shaking: 1. Uneven surfaces on the brake disc, hub face, or axle hub face require replacing the brake disc. 2. Manufacturing errors in the brake disc leading to shaking necessitate replacing the brake disc. 3. Uneven torque on the floating disc or hub bolts causing unevenness requires reinstalling the brake disc. 4. Improper bedding-in process preventing even transfer of brake pad material onto the disc—adjust brake clearance. 5. Dragging brakes or poor driving habits causing uneven pad contact—improve braking habits and replace pads regularly.

Where is the car's carbon canister located?

The location of the carbon canister varies by vehicle model. Here are methods to determine its position: 1. There are generally three pipes on the fuel tank. The fuel supply pipe and return pipe for the engine are engine-related. Follow the remaining pipe to locate the carbon canister. 2. Trace the pipe connected behind the throttle body. Sometimes the solenoid valve assembly is integrated with the carbon canister, in which case you'll find a small rectangular box on the plastic housing - this is the carbon canister. Additional information about the carbon canister: 1. The carbon canister is actually part of the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP), which was introduced to prevent fuel vapor from escaping into the atmosphere after the engine stops running. The collection and storage of gasoline vapors is primarily handled by the carbon canister. 2. Its housing is typically made of plastic, filled internally with activated charcoal particles that can adsorb vapors. The top is equipped with a purge control valve to regulate the amount of gasoline vapor and air entering the intake manifold, along with a filter screen to purify gasoline vapors.

Is VW50200 oil 30 or 40?

You need to refer to the instructions on the oil container to determine. Here is relevant information about VW50200: 1. VW50200 corresponds to the API SN grade, which is the highest grade of engine oil. It is the original factory oil standard required by Volkswagen engines in Germany. 2. Both 5W-30 and 5W-40 grade oils in the original factory oil meet the VW50200 standard, so refer to the instructions on the oil container to determine. 3. If 30 oil is recommended, using the higher viscosity 40 oil by mistake will reduce the oil's fluidity, which will have certain impacts on both fuel consumption and power. 4. Never choose oil with lower viscosity than the original oil, as it will directly affect the lubrication performance. Not only will it accelerate engine wear, but over time, it can easily lead to bearing seizure, and in severe cases, the engine may even be completely scrapped.

How Often Should Cars Be Serviced?

Car servicing intervals are as follows: 1. Generally, service every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. 2. Change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers, replace the air filter and oil filter every 10,000 kilometers, and replace the fuel filter and spark plugs every 25,000 kilometers. Additional information on car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts as a preventive measure, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. 2. Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine servicing performed at intervals specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance, mainly involving oil and oil filter replacement. The interval for minor maintenance depends on the effective duration or mileage of the oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil vary by brand and grade, so follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Oil filters are typically divided into standard and long-life types, with standard filters replaced along with the oil, while long-life filters last longer. Major maintenance refers to the routine servicing performed at intervals specified by the manufacturer, involving the replacement of oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Major maintenance builds on minor maintenance, and these two types of servicing are usually alternated. The intervals vary depending on the car brand.

How to Determine if a Vehicle is a Salvage Car?

Here are the methods to determine whether a vehicle is a salvage car: 1. First, check the compulsory insurance policy, which must be issued by an insurance company. If it's a salvage car, the premium for compulsory insurance will be significantly higher than that of a normal vehicle. 2. Open the engine hood and inspect the edges of the engine for uniformity and consistency in paint color. 3. Use the vehicle license and the owner's ID card to query the vehicle information at the traffic management office. 4. Determine if a rear-end collision has occurred by examining the frame. If welding marks are found on the main beam, it indicates severe impact. 5. Identify through the body color, including the front bumper, rear bumper, roof, four doors, front hood, trunk lid, front fender, and rear fender.

At how many kilometers should a major maintenance be performed on a car?

Generally, a vehicle requires a major maintenance service after reaching 30,000 kilometers. Here is an introduction to major car maintenance: 1. Major maintenance builds upon minor maintenance, adding the replacement of the air filter and fuel filter in addition to the engine oil and oil filter. 2. The components that need to be replaced include the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, power steering fluid, and spark plugs. Additional information about car maintenance is as follows: 1. Most car engines use a dry-type air filter with a paper filter element, which is lightweight, low-cost, easy to replace, and highly efficient. It should be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers. During cleaning, the filter element should be taken out and gently tapped on the end face. Use compressed air to blow dust from the inside out, and avoid washing it with gasoline or water. 2. The air filter must be replaced every 25,000 kilometers. As for the oil filter, most car engines use a spin-on oil filter, which is a disposable, non-cleanable type. The oil filter must be replaced whenever the engine oil is changed; otherwise, it may affect the quality of the lubricant. The replacement interval for both the engine oil and oil filter is typically 5,000 kilometers. 3. Usually, during car maintenance, service personnel will perform additional inspections based on the vehicle's specific condition and may add other maintenance items, such as inspection and cleaning of engine-related systems, wheel alignment checks, and inspection of various fastening components.
