Household passenger cars, being non-commercial vehicles, do not have a mandatory scrapping period. Below is relevant information about vehicle scrapping periods: 1. Introduction: The vehicle scrapping period refers to a safety inspection system established based on the number of seats and usage duration during a car's service life. According to regulations, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial passenger cars, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles are not subject to usage period restrictions. 2. Latest 2020 regulations on vehicle scrapping periods: Household 5-seat passenger cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro vehicles, have no usage period restrictions. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. After 15 years of service, vehicles must undergo inspection twice annually; failure to pass will result in mandatory scrapping. Taxis have a usage period of 8 years, etc.

What brand is the BJ40 diesel engine?

The brand of the BJ40 diesel engine is Yuchai. It is an engine originally from Swedish Saab, which was acquired by BAIC and is now produced by BAIC itself. The BJ40 diesel engine model is 4F20TC13, with a maximum horsepower of 163, a maximum power output of 120kw, a maximum power speed of 4000rpm, and a peak torque of 680N.m. For daily maintenance of the BJ40 diesel engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB_CD grade diesel engine oil according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, this sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What does it mean when the EPC light on the car dashboard is on?

The EPC indicator light has two states of illumination: during power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is monitoring the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC light stays on under other circumstances or does not turn off for a long time after the vehicle is started, the main causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle valve, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake light. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons for the EPC light being on under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will illuminate if the engine intake is not smooth or if there is insufficient air intake. Throttle valve fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle valve. Additionally, dirt on the main body can also affect air intake, causing the indicator light to turn on. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization can trigger the light. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with the power system, such as the intake valve, can also cause the EPC light to illuminate. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signal or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: Situations like the brake light not working, brake switch failure, or brake circuit issues can lead to the EPC light turning on. Solutions for when the EPC light is on: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle valve, etc. Remove carbon deposits from related parts. Re-flash the ECU with relevant data. If the EPC light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not come back on, there may be no issue, and the EPC light might have been affected temporarily. If the EPC light stays on or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be driven to the nearest repair point for professional assistance in troubleshooting to eliminate potential safety hazards promptly. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system mainly includes controllers and sensors related to the power system. When the sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take measures on the power system according to preset programs. Common EPC indicator lights generally display two colors: yellow and red. If the EPC fault light is yellow and the car can still drive normally, proceed slowly to a repair point for inspection. If the EPC fault light is red, the situation is more severe, and the vehicle should be pulled over immediately, with relevant repair personnel contacted for immediate repairs. Forcing the car to drive under such conditions can directly affect the core components of the vehicle or driving safety.

When to turn the steering wheel back when reversing into the garage?

When reversing into the garage, observe the state of the car's wheels through the rearview mirror to determine the time to straighten the steering wheel. Generally, you can straighten the steering wheel when the wheels pass the right-angle edge of the garage and there is no phenomenon of pressing the line. The following is a partial introduction about reversing: 1. Definition: Reversing refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle moving backward. It also refers to people "transferring" midway during a trip, that is, changing from one car to another. Reversing is more difficult than driving forward, mainly because the view is limited to a certain extent. 2. Safety measures: Before reversing, you should first see the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing route, and determine whether the front of the car will hit obstacles during the reversing process.
