When a car emits black smoke, it is often due to uneven or excessive fuel supply from the high-pressure fuel pump across the cylinders. This can cause unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. The issue should be addressed by adjusting the fuel supply to achieve balance or keep it within the specified range. Additionally, malfunctioning or damaged fuel injectors can lead to insufficient fuel atomization, resulting in black smoke. In such cases, the injectors need to be inspected and replaced. Below are the reasons and solutions for a car emitting black smoke: 1. Check if the air filter is clogged, if there is any leakage in the intake pipe (which may cause the engine to produce a sharp whistling sound under increased load), or if the turbocharger is damaged. 2. The solution involves inspecting whether the turbine wheel and compressor wheel blades are damaged and ensuring they rotate smoothly and flexibly.

What Insurance Should You Generally Buy for a Family Sedan?

Generally, you should purchase compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and vehicle damage insurance. Below are the relevant introductions to these types of insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Like compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance compensates the affected third party, essentially serving as a supplement to compulsory traffic insurance. The compensation limit of compulsory traffic insurance is limited and relatively low, with a maximum of only 122,000 yuan. For third-party liability insurance, it is recommended to insure between 500,000 to 1 million yuan. If financial conditions permit, you can opt for 1.5 million yuan or higher coverage. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance compensates for the loss of your own vehicle. The premium for vehicle damage insurance is closely related to the purchase price and the number of seats of the car. In other words, the higher the car price, the higher the premium.

It may be caused by incorrect positioning or damage to the gear switch, which can lock the gear lever. Most vehicles are equipped with a lock release switch. If the gears inside the transmission are stuck, have someone gently push the vehicle forward while pressing the clutch pedal to shift the gear to neutral.

How to Obtain the Environmental Protection Label?

To apply for the environmental protection label, private car owners need to bring the original copies of three documents—the vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and the owner's ID card—to the vehicle management office. Below is more information about motor vehicle labels: 1. Motor Vehicle Inspection Compliance Label: The motor vehicle inspection compliance label indicates that the vehicle meets the conditions for road use. Vehicles nearing the end of their service life will not pass the annual inspection and thus will not receive this label. The color of the label varies by year to facilitate differentiation. 2. Compulsory Insurance Label: Most people are familiar with the compulsory insurance label, which must be displayed. Purchasing compulsory auto insurance is a mandatory requirement. In the event of an accident, the insurance company will provide compensation within the scope of liability, significantly reducing financial burdens and offering a form of protection. 3. Environmental Protection Inspection Compliance Label: The environmental protection label for vehicles is a classification mark for emission standards, divided into yellow and green categories based on vehicle type and emission standards. The environmental protection label has now been abolished to reduce the burden on car owners. However, vehicle exhaust emission testing remains a mandatory inspection item.
