Precautions for vehicle inspection: 1. Documents: Required documents include the original and copy of the vehicle license, road and bridge fee IC card, proof of road maintenance fee payment, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, original insurance card, and original ID card. 2. Time: Vehicles that have been in use for 6 years can apply for annual inspection within 3 months before the expiration date, and it can only be done in advance, not postponed. 3. Preparation: First, check if the vehicle has any traffic violations, as vehicles with outstanding violations will not be accepted by the vehicle management office. You can directly inquire about any violations at the traffic police station. 4. Vehicle appearance: Ensure that safety equipment such as the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher are complete. Also, check if the vehicle's color and appearance match the photo on the vehicle license.

The most important thing before the vehicle inspection is to ensure the car is in good condition. Last time I failed the inspection due to insufficient light brightness, so I recommend checking all lights in advance, including brake lights and turn signals. Insufficient tire tread depth can also be a problem, especially for the front tires which must have at least 1.6 mm. Remember to bring the original vehicle license and a copy of the valid compulsory traffic insurance. Nowadays, many places also require a copy of the owner's ID card. Too many stickers on the car body or overly dark window tints can be fatal, especially the front windshield tint which must have a light transmittance of at least 70%. Those who have modified their car lights should be extra careful—modified LED or xenon lights without lenses will likely fail. It's advisable to clear all traffic violations beforehand, otherwise, the trip to the inspection station will be in vain. Arriving before 9 AM usually means no waiting, and the entire process takes about 40 minutes to complete.

Are New Energy Vehicle Charging Piles Universal?

New energy vehicles that comply with national standards and use charging piles that also meet national standards are universally compatible. Technical conditions for electric vehicle charging piles: 1. When the charging pile is not connected to the power battery, it automatically initializes to conventional control charging mode after self-checking; 2. After establishing a connection with the power battery, the charging pile obtains charging information through communication and automatically initializes to automatic control charging mode for the power battery. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, integrating advanced technologies in power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. New energy vehicles include four types: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy vehicles.

How to Clean the Exhaust Pipe of a China V Vehicle?

Methods for cleaning the exhaust pipe of a China V vehicle: You can use cotton balls and cleaning agents to clean it yourself. If urea crystallization occurs inside the exhaust pipe, ordinary methods may not be effective for cleaning. When crystallization appears in the SCR after-treatment system, the vehicle may exhibit symptoms such as weak acceleration and increased fuel consumption. In such cases, professional equipment must be used for cleaning. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler. Typically, the three-way catalytic converter, which controls engine pollutant emissions, is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe consists of the front exhaust pipe and the rear exhaust pipe.

How many types of car suspensions are there?

Car suspensions are divided into two types: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension, transverse arm independent suspension, longitudinal arm independent suspension, and double-wishbone independent suspension. Non-independent suspensions include leaf spring non-independent suspension, coil spring non-independent suspension, and main-secondary leaf spring non-independent suspension. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and axle. It supports the vehicle body and can also reduce the transmission of vibrations when the car passes over bumpy roads, making the ride more comfortable for passengers. The suspension consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, and shock absorbers. Some vehicle models also have an anti-roll bar on the suspension to reduce body roll during high-speed cornering, improving the stability and driving limits of the car.
