BMW's basic maintenance items mainly include the replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and pollen filter, the maintenance/replacement of spark plugs, transmission oil, and other related system inspection and maintenance items. Below are the relevant details: 1. Engine oil and oil filter: Primarily for the maintenance of the lubrication system. The main function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's function is to remove various impurities from the engine oil to ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, the car should be serviced every 5,000 km. 2. Air filter: The air filter's role is to filter the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The fuel filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 km. 3. Spark plugs: Spark plugs are consumable items and should be replaced every 20,000 km. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injector, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, with maintenance performed as needed based on usage conditions.

How to Determine if a Motorcycle Rectifier is Faulty?

Start the vehicle and remove the battery fuse. Turn on the headlights and observe their brightness. If the lights are dim, weak, or fail to illuminate, it indicates that the rectifier/voltage regulator is damaged. If the brightness is sufficient and the bulbs become brighter with a slight increase in engine speed, then the rectifier/voltage regulator is functioning normally. Below are the functions of a motorcycle rectifier: 1. Rectification: Rectification refers to unidirectional current flow. A motorcycle has a primary power source and an auxiliary power source. The battery serves as the auxiliary power source, while the magneto acts as the primary power source. Under normal circumstances, the current between these two sources is interconnected. To prevent the battery current from flowing back to the generator, a rectifier is required. 2. Voltage Regulation: The motorcycle generator is responsible solely for generating electricity and lacks voltage regulation capabilities. The rectifier stabilizes the voltage using electronic components.

Can Small Trucks Enter Urban Areas?

Due to varying urban traffic restriction measures in different regions, generally small trucks are allowed to enter urban areas, but certain roads may have restrictions, and some roads have time-based restrictions, which require attention. Typically, double-row small trucks are not permitted in downtown areas, and drivers may need to choose alternative routes. Relevant information about vehicle restrictions is as follows: 1. Relevant regulations: The Ministry of Transport stipulates that, starting from September 21, double-row vehicle transporters are prohibited from entering highways; from July 1, 2018, non-compliant vehicle transporters are completely banned, and standard freight vehicle models are promoted. Highway entrances may be equipped with STW-18 portable over-limit detection devices for random inspections. 2. Cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks: The cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks is only a new regulation in some regions. However, vehicles that fail annual inspections or reach 600,000 kilometers must still be scrapped. Currently, most regions still enforce the 15-year scrapping rule.

What happens if water is used instead of coolant?

Using water instead of coolant can cause rust in the engine's water passages and lead to scale buildup, which may block the passages. Additionally, water has a lower boiling point and freezing point, which can affect the engine's normal operation during summer or winter. Below is relevant information about coolant: 1. Working mechanism: Water-cooled engines rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to dissipate heat. The coolant follows two circulation paths inside the engine: a major cycle and a minor cycle. When the engine is first started, the coolant undergoes a minor cycle, bypassing the radiator to allow the engine to warm up quickly. After the engine has run for a while, the coolant enters the major cycle, passing through the radiator to dissipate heat, ensuring the engine operates within the optimal temperature range. 2. Precautions: Coolant needs to be replaced regularly. Prolonged use without replacement can lead to an increase in freezing point and a decrease in boiling point, negatively impacting engine performance. Therefore, it is essential to replace the coolant on schedule. It is recommended to change the coolant every 20,000 kilometers.

Why does the car display screen not turn off after the engine is shut off?

The reason why the car display screen does not automatically turn off after the engine is shut off may be due to aging or short-circuiting of internal wiring. Solutions for the car display screen not turning off after the engine is shut off: To repair aging or short-circuiting internal wiring, a car diagnostic tool is required. Enter the SMK system to read the data stream. If the data stream shows "ACC" and "ACC input circuit and battery circuit (with the engine off)" both in the ON state, it indicates a short-circuit condition. The cause of the short circuit is likely an issue with the power supply module, requiring timely inspection and repair of the relay. The specific steps are as follows: locate and open the fuse box next to the battery; then find the relay of the power distribution module on the back, identifying the corresponding relay based on its position; try replacing it with a new relay. If the problem is resolved, it means the relay was faulty. Another possible scenario is if an audio amplifier was previously installed by the owner, the issue might be due to wiring problems (such as using a constant power line to supply the amplifier), causing abnormal power supply. In this case, simply troubleshoot the corresponding wiring.

How Many Years Are New Cars Exempt from Inspection in 2021?

2021 new cars are exempt from inspection for 6 years. When you register the car after purchase, you will receive an annual inspection sticker with a validity period of two years. Vehicles exempt from inspection within six years include: non-commercial passenger cars, other small vehicles, and mini passenger cars. The six-year exemption means that these vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection within six years and can directly apply for inspection stickers from relevant departments. However, owners must still provide proof of compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption every two years. For vehicles exempt from inspection within six years, the following points should be noted during annual inspection: 1. Collect the annual inspection sticker: Go to the vehicle management office to collect the annual inspection sticker within the specified period. 2. Required documents: The documents required for on-site inspection are the vehicle's driving license, proof of compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, and the owner's ID card. 3. Consequences of not collecting the annual inspection sticker: Failure to collect the annual inspection sticker will be regarded as failing to inspect the vehicle as required.
