Here are the causes of car failures: 1. Presence of vulnerable parts: It is impossible in car design to make all parts have the same lifespan, as some parts are inherently vulnerable. For example, components like air filter elements, spark plugs, and engine oil have relatively short lifespans and require regular replacement. Failure to replace them in time or premature damage can lead to car failures. 2. Quality differences in consumables: The main consumables in cars include fuel and lubricants. Poor quality of these additives can severely impact the car's performance and lifespan, making it more prone to failures. 3. Car usage environment: Cars are used outdoors and are greatly affected by environmental conditions. Highways, with their wide and flat surfaces, allow for high speeds but also increase the likelihood of failures and accidents. Uneven roads cause severe vibrations and jolts, leading to damage. Driving in mountainous areas consumes more power, and long waiting times in cities significantly alter the car's operating conditions. When the car cannot adapt, it becomes prone to failures or sudden breakdowns.

Will exceeding the second maintenance time void the warranty?

After the car reaches its second maintenance, exceeding the time limit is not a problem and will not void the warranty. Things to note for the second maintenance: 1. Go for maintenance on time: Even if the car hasn't been driven much and the mileage is insufficient, it's still necessary to go to the 4S shop for maintenance. This is because even if the car isn't driven, there will still be wear and tear. For example, engine oil, under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, its shelf life will be significantly shortened, and its performance will greatly decline. Over time, it won't be able to protect the engine. Therefore, even if the car's mileage is low, it's still necessary to regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. 2. Not going to the 4S shop doesn't count as voiding the warranty: Since 2017, the "Regulations on the Administration of Motor Vehicle Maintenance" clearly stipulate that manufacturers and 4S shops cannot refuse to provide warranty services for vehicles on the grounds that maintenance was not performed at an officially authorized shop. This means car owners are free to choose where to have their cars repaired. Except for automobile manufacturers fulfilling their responsibilities for defective automobile product recalls and the "three guarantees" for automobile quality, no unit or individual may force or covertly force the designation of a maintenance operator.

Will I be fined if my driver's license expires and needs renewal?

No fine, you can renew it normally. Whether a new license can be issued after expiration depends on the specific situation: Less than one year: If the expiration period is less than one year, you can renew the license normally.

When to Replace Power Steering Fluid?

To determine whether the power steering fluid needs replacement, the most direct method is to assess the steering feel. Power steering fluid is designed to make the steering wheel lighter when the driver turns it. If the steering feels heavier during operation, it is likely due to the deterioration of the power steering fluid, which reduces the effectiveness of the power steering. Relevant information about power steering fluid is as follows: Introduction: Power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the car's power steering pump. Through hydraulic action, it makes the steering wheel very light, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. Classification: The power steering systems installed in cars can be roughly divided into three categories: the first is mechanical hydraulic power steering systems; the second is electro-hydraulic power steering systems; and the third is electric power steering systems.

Can the Wuling Hongguang S be used for Didi?

Whether the Wuling Hongguang S can be used for Didi depends on the regulations of the local ride-hailing services. Taking Chongqing as an example, the Wuling Hongguang S cannot be used for Didi or other ride-hailing operations in Chongqing. According to Article 13 of the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Car-hailing Services in Chongqing," based on the principles of high-quality service and differentiated operation, the taxable price of vehicles engaged in online car-hailing services should be higher than that of traditional taxis during the same period. For vehicles engaged in online car-hailing services in the main urban area, the interval between the initial registration date of the vehicle's driving license and the application date for the "Online Car-hailing Transport Certificate" should not exceed 2 years, and the following specific standards must be met: (1) For vehicles with turbocharged engines: Displacement should be 1.5T or above; for vehicles with naturally aspirated engines, displacement should be 1.8L or above, and the wheelbase should be no less than 2650mm. (2) For new energy vehicles: Engine power should be no less than 90kW, the range should be no less than 200km, and the wheelbase should be no less than 2650mm. (3) For hybrid vehicles: Engine power should be no less than 90kW, and the wheelbase should be no less than 2650mm.

What is the difference between National IV and National V standards?

National V emission standards are more stringent than National IV emission standards. Below is extended information about automotive emission standards: Symbol meanings: National IV, National V, and National VI refer to China's vehicle exhaust emission standards. Detailed comparison: Starting from July 1, 2017, the National V emission standard was fully implemented nationwide. Compared to the National IV standard, the new standard reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. The primary difference between National V and National IV lies in stricter emission requirements for heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, the standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx), total hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides (HCNOx), and particulate matter (PM) concentrations have been raised. National V also introduces standards for particulate matter particle count (PN) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC). The National V standard is comparable to Europe's currently implemented fifth-stage emission control standards.
