Vehicle scrapping standards: 1. Non-operational passenger vehicles with 9 seats or less can be used for 15 years. If the owner wishes to continue using the vehicle after it reaches the scrapping standard, no approval is required. After passing inspection, the service life can be extended; 2. Tourist passenger vehicles and non-operational passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats can be used for 10 years. If the owner wishes to continue using the vehicle after it reaches the scrapping standard, the current procedures must be followed, and the service life can be extended for a maximum of 10 years; 4. Tourist passenger vehicles with extended scrapping must undergo 4 annual inspections, while non-operational passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats and extended scrapping must undergo 2 annual inspections. For vehicles older than 15 years, 4 annual inspections are required starting from the 16th year; 5. The service life of operational buses is adjusted to 10 years. If the owner wishes to continue using the vehicle after it reaches the scrapping standard, the current procedures must be followed. The scrapping can be delayed for up to 4 years, with 4 annual inspections required during the extended use period.

I've been driving for over a decade and have a good understanding of vehicle scrapping standards. The main criteria for scrapping is based on age—for example, small passenger vehicles may be mandatorily scrapped after 15 years, which I've personally experienced. My first car started having constant minor issues after about 14 years, making annual inspections difficult, and failing emissions tests outright. Mileage is another key factor; exceeding 600,000 kilometers makes a vehicle too old to drive safely. Failing safety inspections is also common, like with accident cars that have brake failures or structural deformities that can't be properly repaired. Environmental factors matter too—cities now have strict standards, restricting older, low-emission vehicles from roads. In short, scrapping standards consider age, mileage, and inspection results, so owners should maintain their vehicles early to avoid hefty repair costs.

As someone who frequently helps others with car repairs, I've noticed that vehicle scrapping isn't solely based on age but more on mechanical condition. For instance, when the mileage exceeds 600,000 kilometers, significant wear on the engine and transmission makes repairs expensive and time-consuming, leading to scrapping if the inspection fails. Excessive emissions are a major issue—failing the annual exhaust test directly results in rejection. Safety inspections flag risks like brake system or lighting failures. Mandatory scrapping policies apply to vehicles over 15 years old, but many owners opt for voluntary scrapping to receive subsidies. Economically, it's often wiser as newer cars offer better fuel efficiency and are more eco-friendly. Regular maintenance is recommended to extend vehicle lifespan.

Our generation values safety and environmental protection, making vehicle scrappage standards crucial for public safety. Mandatory scrapping criteria include vehicles over 15 years old, exceeding 600,000 kilometers in mileage, or failing annual inspections—such as emission non-compliance or brake failure, which directly impact driving safety. Older cars with weakened structures pose significant accident risks, and policies encourage recycling low-emission vehicles to reduce pollution. Voluntary scrapping also offers subsidies, all aimed at benefiting society. We recommend owners regularly monitor their vehicle's condition to minimize road risks.

Focusing on environmental issues, I believe that vehicle scrappage standards promote sustainable development. Scrappage is mandatory mainly for vehicles over 15 years old, those exceeding emission standards, or failing safety inspections. Older vehicles emit heavy exhaust pollution, affecting air quality, and policies like restricting high-emission vehicles drive scrappage. Owners who voluntarily scrap their vehicles can receive subsidies or tax incentives, collectively supporting green mobility. Technical inspections cover mileage, mechanical integrity, etc., encouraging the switch to new energy vehicles to conserve resources. To contribute to a cleaner planet, scrappage is an environmentally friendly choice.

Does Cleaning Wax Damage Car Paint?

Cleaning wax can damage car paint. Long-term use may thin the paint layer, and since cleaning wax contains organic solvents, frequent application can cause white car paint to discolor and turn yellow. Cleaning wax is designed for removing stains, rust, and scale, primarily used for cleaning and maintaining the vehicle's exterior. The application method is relatively simple: before waxing, ensure the car body is thoroughly cleaned and dried to avoid affecting the waxing results. Then, directly apply the cleaning wax to surfaces with stubborn stains that water cannot remove, and gently wipe them off with a soft towel. It's important to note that cleaning wax should not be used when the car's surface temperature is high, as this can reduce its effectiveness. Wait until the body temperature cools down to normal levels before use.

What Causes the Fluctuation of the Car's Water Temperature Gauge?

The fluctuation of the car's water temperature gauge is caused by a faulty water temperature sensor, a damaged thermostat, or a cooling system malfunction. The car owner should check whether there is any leakage in the engine cooling system and whether the water pump is functioning properly. The car's water temperature gauge is considered normal as long as it remains within the standard range. The gauge ranges from C to H, where C represents 60 degrees Celsius. If the needle points to C, it indicates the water temperature has reached 60 degrees Celsius. The H red mark represents 110 degrees Celsius. If the needle enters the red zone, it means the water temperature is too high. Prolonged high water temperature can lead to 'boiling over,' which refers to the engine coolant boiling, potentially causing the radiator to expand and the engine to overheat and sustain damage.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Braking a Car?

When a car makes a squeaking sound during braking, it is usually due to rust on the brake discs and brake pads. The owner needs to remove the brake discs and pads and sand off the rust layer with sandpaper. The brake is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, clamping the brake rotor to slow down or stop the vehicle. The manual brake (handbrake) in a car is located next to the gearshift and is connected to the brake lever. Common examples also include bicycle brakes, which rely on rod-shaped brakes fixed to the frame or disc caliper brakes to decelerate.

Is the transmission of the Tiggo 8 dry or wet?

The transmission of the Tiggo 8 is a dry type. A dry transmission utilizes multiple friction plates and metal diaphragms connected to the input shaft for power transmission. Power is transferred when the friction plates and diaphragms are pressed together, and the transmission is interrupted when they are separated, which is the same method used in manual transmissions. The Tiggo 8 is a mid-size SUV under the Chery brand, with dimensions of 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, a wheelbase of 2710mm, and a body style of a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The transmission is a 6-speed manual. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T L4 engine featuring turbocharged intake, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156ps and a peak torque of 230nm.

What Causes No Response When Using the Key to Open the Trunk?

No response when using the key to open the trunk is due to insufficient battery power in the remote key. Below is the method for replacing the car key battery: 1. Take out the car key. There is a gap on the side of the key, near the key ring. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap after unfolding the key. 2. Flip the Volkswagen logo upward and forcefully pull the key upward to open the key cover. Once opened, you can see a battery inside the key. 3. Use the screwdriver to pry out the battery, being careful with the force. Insert the new battery into the car remote key in the opposite order of removal. Pay attention to the positive and negative poles, ensuring the battery is not installed backward. Finally, snap the key's back cover back into place.
