Vehicle scrapping subsidy standards: Scrapping a heavy-duty truck is subsidized at 18,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a medium-duty truck at 13,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a light-duty truck at 9,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a mini truck at 6,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a large passenger vehicle at 18,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a medium passenger vehicle at 11,000 yuan per vehicle, scrapping a small passenger vehicle (excluding cars) at 7,000 yuan per vehicle, and scrapping a mini passenger vehicle (excluding cars) at 5,000 yuan per vehicle. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Scrapping process: The vehicle owner submits the application materials to the joint window, where the receiving staff prints out the "Dalian City Early Retirement of Yellow Label Vehicles Subsidy Application/Approval Form" and submits it along with the application materials to the one-stop joint office's functional review department for review. After the review by various departments is completed, the vehicle owner confirms and signs the approval form. 2. Individual vehicle owners need to submit the following materials: original scrapping certificate, original vehicle deregistration certificate, original proof of vehicle scrapping for commercial vehicle owners, original ID card of the owner and 2 copies, and the original bank account number under the owner's name and 2 copies.

I've been driving in Dalian for over a decade and have a good understanding of vehicle scrappage. Indeed, there is compensation for scrapping vehicles in Dalian, especially for older small cars. The national environmental policy encourages the phase-out of highly polluting vehicles, so when you scrap a car that meets the standards, you can receive government subsidies. The compensation amount varies depending on the vehicle's condition. For example, small cars with lower emission standards, like the China II standard car I previously scrapped, received a subsidy of over 8,000 yuan. The process is actually quite simple: first, contact a designated local scrapping and recycling facility to have your car towed and processed, and they will provide a scrapping certificate. Then, take your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and other required documents to the vehicle management office to apply for the subsidy. After applying, the money will be directly deposited into your account, usually within a few weeks to a month. However, the compensation amount is not fixed and depends on the vehicle's age and engine displacement. When purchasing a new car, dealerships often offer additional discounts. I recommend that Dalian car owners promptly handle their old vehicles—not only is it a hassle-free way to get money, but it also reduces pollution, killing two birds with one stone. Currently, the government's policy support is strong, and the compensation is reasonable, making it much more convenient than selling a used car.

From an environmental perspective, there is compensation for scrapping small vehicles in Dalian, which is a national policy aimed at improving air quality. As a coastal city, Dalian faces worsening smog issues due to the increasing number of high-emission vehicles. Therefore, the government has established a subsidy mechanism to encourage vehicle owners to scrap old small vehicles in exchange for new energy vehicles or cleaner models. The compensation amount generally ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 yuan, depending on the vehicle's emission standard; vehicles below National III receive higher subsidies. The scrapping process includes: sending the vehicle to an official recycling point for dismantling, obtaining a scrapping certificate, and then applying for the subsidy at the traffic management department. The entire process requires ensuring the vehicle has no outstanding fees or violations, as these may affect eligibility. Additionally, some automakers offer matching discounts during trade-ins, increasing the actual benefits. I recommend vehicle owners proactively check the latest standards on the Dalian Environmental Protection Bureau website. The compensation system helps promote green travel, reduces exhaust emissions, and benefits the environment. In daily driving, keeping vehicles updated can also avoid safety risks.

As a car owner in Dalian, I have gone through the process of scrapping a small car and received compensation. For older vehicles, there is a government subsidy available for scrapping. The amount varies depending on the condition of the car, ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand yuan for small cars. You need to take the car to a designated scrapping site for dismantling, then apply for the subsidy with the provided certificate. When applying, you'll need to submit your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the scrapping certificate. After approval, the money will be transferred to your bank account. Compensation is higher for National III emission standard vehicles. The process is straightforward, saving you the hassle of selling the car, and it also promotes environmental protection. It's recommended that car owners consult the Dalian Vehicle Management Office in advance for specific details to avoid delays. Upgrading to a cleaner vehicle also ensures safer and more comfortable driving.

The small vehicle scrapping compensation policy in Dalian is formulated in accordance with national regulations, supporting the phase-out of old vehicles. The compensation includes government subsidies, with amounts varying based on vehicle emissions, displacement, and age. When scrapping a small car, higher subsidies are available for high-pollution standards such as China II and China III, typically ranging from 5,000 to 12,000 yuan. The application process requires owners to send their vehicles to certified scrapping facilities and then submit materials to the vehicle management office to claim compensation. Additionally, local Dalian policies often provide automaker or financial incentives when replacing old vehicles with new ones, increasing practical benefits; however, a clean traffic violation record is required. This compensation mechanism promotes the adoption of new energy vehicles, reduces urban pollution, and enhances road safety. I recommend that vehicle owners check the latest guidelines on the Dalian Transportation Bureau website to update their vehicles promptly, saving money while being eco-friendly. Regularly reviewing the policy helps avoid outdated information.

Why does the sound become louder after installing an aftermarket catalytic converter?

It may be due to a leak in the replaced catalytic converter, and it is recommended to replace it with a new one. The following details the differences between OEM and aftermarket catalytic converters: Suggestion: In fact, there is no problem with replacing it with a qualified aftermarket catalytic converter. However, the auto parts market is mixed with good and bad products. Without professional knowledge, it is best to choose to replace it with an OEM catalytic converter at a 4S shop. Difference: Generally speaking, OEM catalytic converters have better compatibility than aftermarket ones. Therefore, using an OEM catalytic converter can effectively catalyze harmful substances in the exhaust. If a low-quality catalytic converter is used, it will not only cause excessive emissions but also increase the exhaust pressure of the vehicle, which will have a negative impact on the engine's power output.
