There is a certain quality gap between aftermarket parts and OEM parts, with the differences outlined below: Reasons for the Gap: OEM parts are generally produced by smaller factories and cannot compare in quality to genuine parts. Genuine parts are manufactured by authorized suppliers and can achieve a perfect fit when installed on vehicles, whereas aftermarket parts cannot. Reasons to Choose Genuine Parts: First, in terms of quality, genuine parts are superior and easier to install, with minimal issues of misalignment or incompatibility. If aftermarket parts are used, installation may take longer due to non-standard specifications, which can affect the fitting process.

Why Does the Car Window Frost Over?

Frosting on the car window is a phenomenon caused by the condensation of water vapor. Before parking, the temperature inside the car is higher than the outside temperature. The residual warm air inside the car keeps the windows at a certain temperature. Over time, as the interior temperature equalizes with the outside temperature, the warm air on the windows will cause frost to form. If frost appears on the car windows, you can turn on the car's air conditioning before driving to remove the frost using warm air. Alternatively, you can use a spray de-icer, a concentrated liquid specifically developed for frosted car windows. It does not damage the car glass and can prevent further frosting, keeping the windows clean.

Why don't the lights turn on when locking the car?

When the lights don't turn on while locking the car, it indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft working state, meaning the anti-theft system is functioning normally. If the lights don't illuminate, it suggests that the anti-theft system is not activated or not in working condition. If the lights sometimes turn on and sometimes don't, it indicates that the car's anti-theft system itself is functioning properly, but the sensor affecting the anti-theft system is malfunctioning, which could be due to human error. Solutions for when the lights don't turn on while locking the car include: 1. Check if the hood is not properly closed; if it's not fully closed, the lights may not illuminate. If this is the case, simply close the hood properly. 2. In the display settings, locate the 'remote lock mode' setting and enable the horn with light flashing when locking.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 308 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 308 is 56 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Peugeot 308 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 5.1-8.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 683 to 1098 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will accurately reflect on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What are the components of the starting system?

The starting system consists of the car battery, ignition switch, starting relay, starter motor, and fuse. The main function of the car's starting system is to convert the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the vehicle. The starter motor is primarily activated by an external force. The working principle of the starting system is as follows: when the starting switch is turned on, the starter circuit is energized, and the relay's pull-in coil and hold-in coil are also energized, generating a strong magnetic force to attract the iron core to move leftward. This action drives the drive lever to rotate around its pivot, causing the gear to engage with the flywheel ring gear. Simultaneously, as the current from the pull-in coil passes through the motor's windings, the armature begins to rotate, and the gear moves out while rotating, reducing impact.

Can I Pass the Annual Inspection After Changing the Color of the Grille?

Changing the color of the grille is a very common modification. As long as it is registered with the vehicle management office, it can pass the annual inspection. When modifying the grille, it is important to note that after installing the new grille, the original length and width of the vehicle must not be altered. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attachments are clean, intact, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Check whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there have been any changes, and whether the approval, modification, or alteration procedures have been completed. Check whether the printed license plates, driving license, and enlarged license plate numbers on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced. Whether the name of the unit or the street/township where the vehicle is located and the number of passengers in the cab are sprayed in Chinese characters on both sides of the door as required. Whether the rear door of a truck (including the rear door of a trailer) is sprayed with the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the words "Private" are sprayed on both sides of the vehicle or door for individual or joint ownership vehicles. The characters must be clear, and no unit codes or other patterns should be sprayed (special cases require approval from the DMV).
