Vehicle annual inspection regulations are divided into two parts: the exemption scope and the inspection cycle. Below are the detailed explanations of the vehicle annual inspection regulations: Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from the original 6 years and under for vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to include non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. This means that after November 20th, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles under 6 years old with 7-9 seats can enjoy the exemption policy. Inspection Cycle: Exempted vehicles can avoid on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring formalities every two years. From 6-10 years, inspections are required annually. The new regulations indicate that the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while for vehicles aged 6-10 years, the inspection frequency changes from annual to biennial. This means exempted vehicles will have biennial inspections within 10 years, with on-site inspections required only in the 6th and 8th years.

What are the reasons for insufficient power in electronically controlled National IV diesel vehicles?

Below are the related reasons for insufficient power in electronically controlled National IV diesel vehicles: 1. Symptoms of insufficient power: Reflected in acceleration performance and climbing ability, especially under heavy load conditions, the diesel engine power will be significantly insufficient, the throttle response will be sluggish, the vehicle speed cannot increase rapidly accordingly; the exhaust is dull, the driving is weak, fuel consumption rises sharply, and the occurrence is sudden, mainly judged by the driver's feeling in daily operation. 2. Fuel supply system: Fuel tank (fuel pipeline) - coarse filter - fuel transfer pump - fine filter - high-pressure fuel pump - common rail pipe - fuel injector. 3. Intake and exhaust system: Air filter - intake hose - turbocharger - intercooler - combustion chamber - exhaust pipeline (exhaust brake butterfly valve) muffler. 4. Electrical system: The electrical system includes the engine control unit ECU, sensors, wiring harnesses, and all connectors and other circuits that transmit electrical signals. Insufficient power in diesel engines caused by the electrical system is generally sudden, without warning. It is usually caused by minor issues such as loose connections, disconnections, broken wires, sensor damage, excessive gaps, etc.

How to Distinguish Between Harley 1200 and 883?

Harley 1200 and 883 can be identified by the frame number. If the first four digits are 1HD1, it's a 1200; if they are 1HD4, it's an 883. Introduction to Motorcycles: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transport, and also serve as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. Harley's Origin: Harley originated in the United States. The growth of Harley-Davidson motorcycles encapsulates a century of brand development since 1903 in America. There are two major Harley gatherings in the U.S., one each in the East and West, featuring various speed competitions that use aviation fuel to challenge limits on a 1-mile track.

Does a New Car's Exhaust Pipe Need Anti-Rust Spray?

New car exhaust pipes do not require anti-rust spray. Exhaust System: The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold (header), exhaust pipe, flexible connection (bellows), catalytic converter, and muffler. The exhaust system is almost horizontally arranged along the chassis, but the exhaust manifold is connected to the engine and is positioned higher vertically compared to other components of the exhaust system. When water just submerges the exhaust pipe, it cannot enter the engine cylinders. After the water recedes, the water level in the exhaust pipe will definitely drop again, meaning the farther from the exhaust outlet, the lower the water level. At this point, starting the car will not cause water in the exhaust pipe to be sucked back into the engine. After the water recedes, pay attention to the following starting method: Start the car by turning the ignition, but do not press the accelerator and let it idle. During this time, a lot of water will be expelled from the exhaust pipe until it stops dripping. This process won't take long, about 8 minutes.

What are the main items replaced during the first car maintenance?

The first maintenance at a 4S shop includes the following aspects: changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter; checking the levels of various fluids to ensure they are normal, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; checking the tire pressure for normalcy and looking for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or other damage; inspecting the chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, CV joints, and checking for any scratches; examining all the switches in the car; ensuring the lights are functioning properly. Estimated time: Completing all the work takes approximately 2 hours. Items to bring for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle purchase invoice. The first maintenance should be done at the designated service center. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven. The specific time varies by vehicle but is generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It is essential to attend the first maintenance on time, neither early nor delayed. Completing the first maintenance signifies the end of the car's break-in period, allowing the vehicle to be driven under standard load and normal speeds as required. The timing for the first maintenance is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicators for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first serves as the standard. Here are the essential inspections and replacements that must be completed during the first maintenance: changing the engine oil and cleaning the three filters—oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; checking the coolant level to ensure it is normal; inspecting the brake system and the level of the clutch fluid; verifying the power steering fluid level and checking for any leaks at the pipe connections; examining the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and belt for aging and tension; checking the tire pressure and wear condition, adjusting tire pressure or rotating tires if necessary. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil should refer to the "Vehicle User Maintenance Manual," as different models require different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, using water to rinse the body and wiping it with a cloth. It is important to note that the interior should not be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them, clean them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. The rubber mats under the driver's floor have many holes. If water enters, it will not dry naturally but will flow through the holes to areas like the transmission, causing corrosion. The best practice is to use a vacuum cleaner followed by a damp cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: If the antifreeze level is low, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties, and mixing them can lead to corrosion. Each brand uses different additives, so avoid mixing them to prevent unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. Some people apply lubricant to the bolts and nuts to prevent rust, but this can pose a safety risk. At high speeds, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall out, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: The starter of an EFI car differs from that of a conventional car. The fuel injection control system can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

What brand is the transmission of the Senova Zhixing?

The transmission of the Senova Zhixing is from the Belgian brand Punch. Below is some knowledge about transmissions. Maintenance of transmission structural components: Daily maintenance of the transmission should focus on the structural parts, including the gears, bearings, and different shafts. It is important to regularly check whether the transmission gears show signs of wear, chipping, or incorrect meshing. Bearings should be thoroughly inspected for excessive axial or radial clearance and wear of the spacer sleeves. Proper maintenance and inspection of the internal structural components of the transmission ensure optimal operation and allow for timely identification and resolution of issues. Forward gear stage of the transmission: When the vehicle is moving forward, both the input shaft clutch and the output shaft clutch are engaged. The first sliding gear of the output shaft meshes with the first driving gear of the input shaft. The input shaft drives the front section of the output shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the rear section of the output shaft. This allows the engine power to be smoothly transmitted to the wheels.

What are the differences between domestically produced and imported 4J12?

The main differences between them lie in three aspects: auto parts, price, and power. Below are the relevant differences between domestically produced and imported 4J12: 1. Auto parts: Domestic Outlander: Mainly uses domestically produced parts. Imported Outlander: Uses original imported parts. 2. Power: Domestic Outlander: Power is higher than the imported version. Imported Outlander: Power is lower than the domestic version. 3. Outlander's exterior features: The Outlander's front end appears very solid, with the inverted triangular bulge on the engine hood extending down to above the bumper, and the front air intake is divided into two parts. The slightly protruding design of the lower body gives it a very full appearance. However, compared to the original version, the modifications claimed by BAIC to suit Chinese conditions can be understood as cost-cutting changes. The Outlander's front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, which is a typical car suspension system designed with a focus on ride comfort. It can be said that the Outlander's exterior design finds its positioning space between traditional sedans and SUVs. 4. Body dimensions: 2014 Outlander length*width*height (mm) 4655*1800*1680, 2016 Outlander length*width*height (mm) 4705*1810*1680.
