Go to the DMV to obtain the Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form. After filling it out, drive to the designated area in the inspection lot, park your vehicle, and then obtain the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form. Prepare the original and a copy of your ID card, along with the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form, and wait for inspection at the inspection lot. If everything complies with regulations, the DMV will seal the inspection form and hand it over to the vehicle owner or their agent. At that point, you can submit the processed documents to the service hall for further processing.

Is the Audi Q3 compliant with China's National VI emission standards?

The new Audi Q3 is a model that meets the National VI emission standards. National VI emission standards: The National VI emission standards refer to the sixth stage of China's national standards for controlling pollutant emissions from motor vehicles. These standards are established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The National VI emission standards specify the following limits: carbon monoxide (CO) emissions at 700mg, non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions at 68mg, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions at 60mg, and particulate matter (PM) emissions at 4.5mg. Methods to check a car's emission standards: Check the vehicle's environmental protection compliance label or the page in the vehicle certificate where the label starts; estimate the vehicle's emission standard based on its manufacturing year; or use the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate to inquire at the local vehicle management office. The Audi Q3 is equipped with a 1.4T L4 turbocharged engine and a 2.0T L4 turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

When should car spark plugs generally be replaced?

Under normal maintenance conditions, car spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the owner's manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance color to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug's insulator skirt should be reddish-brown, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burning. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but isn't damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged with signs like blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace with a new spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears smoke-blackened, it indicates incorrect heat range selection, rich fuel mixture, or oil leakage.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2015 Tucson?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2015 Tucson is 62L. The Tucson's powertrain features a Gamma series 1.6T turbocharged engine across all models, paired with a Dymos 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and Powertrain 6AT are only continued in the ix35. For comparison, the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Tharu in the same segment is 56.5L, the Nissan Qashqai has a 65L tank, and the T-Roc's fuel tank capacity is 51L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is sufficiently full.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the new Santana?

The fuel tank capacity of the Santana-2021 1.5L Manual Fashion Edition is 52.8L. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Buick Excelle-2021 Modified Classic 1.5L Automatic Entry Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 44L, while the Volkswagen Bora-2021 1.5L Manual Fashion Smart Connection Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. 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. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.
