Water-damaged vehicle classification standards are as follows: 1. Vehicle chassis: Water level just reaches the vehicle chassis, with minimal impact on interior electrical equipment. 2. Wheels: Water level reaches halfway up the wheels. For sedans with lower body height, the water level inside may affect seat adjustment motors, heating, ventilation, and other electrical components. 3. Vehicle seats: Water almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the interior water level will fully immerse the seat cushions and center console area, while affecting numerous electrical devices. 4. Engine: Water reaches the engine hood, exceeding the seat surface level and submerging headlights and taillights. The instrument panel is already soaked, with most of the engine submerged and water entering the trunk.

How Long Can a License Plate Be Retained?

If the original license plate has been used for more than one year and the vehicle owner has owned the original vehicle for more than three years, they can apply to retain the original license plate within six months after completing the transfer or deregistration process (these six months include weekends). The original license plate can be retained when the vehicle is transferred, deregistered, or relocated, or when purchasing a new or used vehicle. Before retaining the license plate, ensure all traffic violations and accident-related matters have been resolved. Important Notes Regarding License Plates: If a vehicle owner plans to sell their vehicle, the license plate can be retained for up to one year. However, the buyer of the vehicle cannot continue using the previous owner's old license plate. If the old license plate is no longer needed, it must be surrendered. If unused for one year, it will be recycled into the number resource pool. The vehicle management office may periodically release these numbers when the available pool is insufficient. An online selection system "20-50 Choose 1" has been introduced, fully implementing internet-based pre-selection of license plate numbers. Vehicle owners can select their preferred license plate numbers via the Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform website or the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123." Owners can choose between random selection or self-composed selection based on their preferences. The random selection option has been expanded from 10 to 20 choices. In areas with abundant license plate number resources, the selection range may be increased to 30-50 options.

Can You Continue Driving When the DEF Light Comes On in a Diesel Vehicle?

When the DEF light in a vehicle is illuminated, you can drive for a short distance, but prolonged driving is not recommended. This indicates that the vehicle's auxiliary water tank is low on water and needs to be refilled promptly. The illumination of the DEF light in a vehicle signifies that the auxiliary water tank is low on water. If the small mileage display on the dashboard shows "DEF," it indicates an internal processor fault in the dashboard. If the auxiliary water tank is low on water, it must be refilled immediately. If the issue is with the internal dashboard processor, you should promptly visit a local 4S shop for repairs. The vehicle dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various systems in the car. The reasons for low water in the auxiliary water tank include: leaks in the cooling system or minor issues with the cylinder head gasket; high coolant temperature causing system water shortage; a seized water pump leading to timing belt damage and piston valve contact; or a blown cylinder gasket mixing with engine oil or being expelled through the exhaust pipe. The auxiliary water tank is a component of the engine cooling system and helps balance the pressure in the radiator. Maintenance methods include: stopping to check if the temperature is too high while driving; promptly stopping to check if the radiator emits smoke; and regularly replacing the coolant.

What Causes Exhaust Gas in the Crankcase?

The reasons for exhaust gas generation in the engine crankcase include: 1. Piston ring wear: Severe wear of piston rings or cylinder liners, or issues with the breather; 2. Overfilling of oil: Excessive oil filling during refueling can also lead to increased exhaust gas emission from the crankcase; 3. Gas from the air pump: If the air pump is used for engine oil cooling, gas from the air pump might also be a cause. Functions of the engine crankcase ventilation system: 1. Preventing oil deterioration; 2. Preventing leakage from crankshaft oil seals and crankcase gaskets; 3. Preventing atmospheric pollution by various oil vapors.
