Documents needed include personal ID card, two copies of ID card, household register, bank card (for payment), and driver's license. Here are some considerations when buying a car: 1. Determine the budget: First, determine your budget range and reasonably estimate your financial capability. Avoid blindly choosing high-priced cars that exceed your financial capacity. The cost of the car, plus insurance and regular maintenance, can be a significant expense. Act within your means to prevent the car from becoming a burden. If you are not in a hurry to buy a car, it's best to choose a time when car prices are lower and market prices are stable, typically during the off-season from March to August. 2. Vehicle inspection upon pickup: When picking up the car, pay attention to the body gaps and paintwork. Check the door gaps and the gaps between the front and rear bumpers. Open the doors to observe if there is any color difference between the inside and outside paint. Inside the car, check the odometer reading, whether the seat protective packaging and the plastic sheets on the dashboard are intact, and if there are any stains on the seats or dashboard. Also, note the manufacturing date and the pickup date to ensure they are not too far apart. If the gap is too long, the car might be a display model or a refurbished vehicle (test drive car). Start the car to feel its operating condition, such as any abnormal noises or if any warning lights are on.

Why does the car heater produce an odor?

Car heaters producing odors are mainly caused by excessive air humidity or too much condensation from the air conditioning system. The detailed reasons are as follows: 1. Do not keep the car heater on for extended periods. Prolonged use of the heater in the car can lead to poor air circulation, especially in winter when windows are closed, creating a sealed environment where air circulation is inevitably poor. 2. Avoid setting the heater temperature too high: While driving, if the heater temperature is set too high, it can easily cause drowsiness. Be mindful not to direct the heater vents towards your face, as prolonged exposure to hot air can dry out the air inside the car and significantly harm the skin.

What is the main function of the crankshaft?

Detailed information about the function of the crankshaft counterweight is introduced as follows: 1. The function of the crankshaft counterweight is to balance the rotational centrifugal force and its moment. The purpose is to reduce the vibration amplitude and frequency after the crankshaft rotates at high speed. 2. When the force and moment themselves reach balance, the counterweight is used to reduce the load on the main bearing. 3. The number, size, and placement position of the counterweights should be considered based on factors such as the number of engine cylinders, cylinder arrangement, and crankshaft shape. 4. Counterweights are generally cast or forged as an integral part of the crankshaft. In high-power diesel engines, the counterweights are manufactured separately from the crankshaft and then bolted together.

Can I replace the coolant by myself?

Coolant can be replaced by yourself. Detailed information is as follows: 1. There is one principle to follow when replacing coolant: ensure it is the same brand and model, and never mix different types. The amount to be added should be based on the scale on the side of the reservoir. 2. For most sedans, the capacity is approximately 4~6 liters. One thing to note is that after adding the coolant, start the engine. Let the car run for about 10 minutes, during which the cooling system will expel some air through operation. 3. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, and the replacement cycle is generally 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The actual replacement time should be based on the time specified in the vehicle's user manual.

How Many Liters of Transmission Oil Should Be Added to the Sagitar 1.6?

Here is the introduction on how many liters of transmission oil should be added to the Sagitar 1.6: 1. The Sagitar 1.6 requires about 4 liters of transmission oil. If using a circulation oil changer, 8 liters are needed. 2. The oil filler port is located on the right side at the rear of the transmission. It is important to regularly check whether the automatic transmission oil level is normal. Methods for changing transmission oil: 1. Gravity oil change and circulation machine oil change: If using a circulation oil changer, 8 liters of transmission oil should be prepared. The extra oil is used to flush out the old oil. Gravity oil change, also known as manual oil change, involves loosening the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission or removing the transmission oil pan to allow the oil to flow out naturally. The advantages are simple operation, less oil required, and lower cost. The disadvantage is that more old oil residue remains, making the change incomplete, which may leave behind oil contaminants and metal shavings, leading to rapid contamination of the new oil. 2. The circulation machine is a device that uses pressure to dynamically replace automatic transmission oil. The principle involves simultaneously sucking out the old oil and injecting new oil, using pressure to push out the old oil with the new oil. The advantages are simplicity, less effort, and a more thorough oil change, with a replacement rate of over 95%. Due to the thoroughness of the oil change, the maintenance cycle of the transmission oil can be appropriately extended. The disadvantage is the higher cost, including the machine's fee and the additional cost of the extra transmission oil. Additionally, the circulation machine oil change is only suitable for automatic transmissions.

What are the items for the second maintenance of a new car?

Detailed information about the second maintenance items for a new car is introduced as follows: 1. Check that the tire pressure is normal. Ensure the suspension arms and shock absorbers are securely fixed and functioning properly, and that the wheel hub bearing temperature does not overheat after driving. 2. After performing the three cleanings and three filter operations on the engine, check that it starts easily, runs smoothly, has normal exhaust, and that the coolant temperature and oil pressure meet the requirements. 3. Check that the steering free play and toe-in meet the requirements, ensuring the steering is light, flexible, and reliable, with no left or right wobbling or deviation of the front wheels during driving. 4. Inspect the generator, starter, lights, instruments, signal lights, buttons, switches, and other auxiliary equipment to ensure they are complete, intact, and functioning normally.

Can the spare car key be used to drive normally?

Can the spare car key be used to drive normally? The detailed information about the spare key is as follows: 1. Each car is usually equipped with two keys, one master key and one spare key. Although there is a distinction between primary and secondary, the functions of the two keys are actually the same, and both can start the vehicle. 2. Some brands may distinguish the master key from the spare key by their styles. For example, the master key is foldable, while the spare key is not, and its design is simpler and less refined than the master key. 3. Regardless of the differences in the design of the two keys, their functions are the same. Either key can start the vehicle and lock it.
