Vehicle inspection validity period refers to the period during which the annual vehicle inspection is valid. The documents required for vehicle inspection include: 1. Proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles; 2. Original copy of the motor vehicle safety technical inspection qualification certificate; 3. Original copy of the motor vehicle driving license and original ID card. The classification of vehicle annual inspections is as follows: 1. For commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 2. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 3. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years.

You know, every time I take the kids out for a drive, I pay extra attention to my car's inspection validity period. Simply put, it's the authorized timeframe your vehicle is allowed on the road after passing safety inspections. Generally, each car needs to be inspected every two to three years as mandated by regulations. The inspection covers systems like brakes, headlights, and emission levels. Once passed, you get a small sticker placed on the windshield corner indicating the expiry date. If you fail to renew the inspection after expiration, not only could it endanger you and your family with potential vehicle issues, but you'll also face traffic police fines and penalty points. Last time I forgot, I got slapped with a 200-yuan fine and nearly messed up my plans. The key is that regular inspections ensure vehicle safety and reduce accidents. I recommend checking your vehicle certificate or setting reminders on mobile apps – make it a habit and it becomes effortless.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Geely Vision Manual Happiness Edition?

The 2016 Geely Vision Manual Happiness Edition has a total of 5 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 80 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L 109 horsepower L4 engine, and comes with either a CVT continuously variable transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is still some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

Does the Mercedes-Benz G-Class have a ladder frame?

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a ladder frame. As a hardcore off-road vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class adopts a body-on-frame structure. It features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a solid axle non-independent rear suspension, with a part-time four-wheel-drive system equipped with three differential locks. In layman's terms, a body-on-frame structure means the vehicle has a ladder frame, which is used to mount the powertrain and drivetrain systems, while the cabin is fixed onto the frame. Hardcore off-road vehicles must use this structure because the ladder frame enhances the rigidity of the vehicle body. Performance of the ladder frame: The ladder frame requires high formability, meaning the steel used must have excellent comprehensive performance, sufficient strength and toughness, as well as good fatigue resistance and cold formability. Replacing the ladder frame: Replacing the ladder frame does not affect the annual inspection, as long as the frame is properly installed and does not hinder the vehicle's operation, there should be no issues. However, if the entire chassis is replaced, it is necessary to re-stamp the chassis number at the vehicle management office; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection.

What is the weight of the Alphard?

There are currently 3 models of the Alphard on sale, with a curb weight ranging between 2270-2290kg. It is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV with dimensions of 4975*1850*1945mm. In the same class, the 2021 Vellfire has a curb weight of 2270kg, while the Lorinser-MS500L-2020 weighs 2370kg. In terms of power, the 2021 Alphard comes in three variants: Luxury, Prestige, and Executive. All are equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and an Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT). The engines all have 4 cylinders in a transverse layout, with front-engine, four-wheel drive configuration. For other features, some or all 2021 Alphard models come with driver/passenger airbags, front/rear side curtain airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, driving mode selection, etc. It's worth noting that the current 3.5L Alphard's powertrain is directly transplanted from the Lexus RX350. All operations can be completed effortlessly, and its idle smoothness has reached Crown-level refinement. Affected by its 2-ton weight, the Alphard's 0-100km/h acceleration lags behind the Highlander with the same powertrain, but offers superior acceleration smoothness.

Reasons for Loud Engine Noise in Geely Freedom Cruiser

Here are the reasons for loud engine noise in Geely Freedom Cruiser: Weather conditions: Cold weather causes the engine idle speed to increase, keeping the cold engine at a high RPM. Loose plastic parts in the engine compartment: Such as the engine cover, intake pipe, etc., which can be fixed by tightening. Incorrect engine oil condition: When the viscosity of the engine oil is too high, it can cause operational issues in the engine, reducing lubrication effectiveness and leading to friction during operation, which generates noise. Valve leakage: During the reaming of the valve seat, improper operation or excessive wear of the valve guide inner hole can cause the valve seat to tilt or the valve clearance to be too small, resulting in valve burning and incomplete sealing, leading to leakage.

Reasons for abnormal noise from the rear wheels of the Nissan X-Trail when lightly braking

Introduction to the reasons for abnormal noise from the rear wheels of the Nissan X-Trail when lightly braking: Severe wear of brake pads: This is usually caused by the brake pads reaching the warning line or being completely worn out. The noise is mostly a metallic friction sound and is relatively sharp. If accompanied by a decrease in braking effectiveness, it can be basically confirmed. Abnormal noise caused by brake pad material: Generally, when the brake pad material is relatively hard, this type of noise is more likely to occur. Brake pads with softer materials rarely produce this type of abnormal noise. However, softer materials wear out faster, and the corresponding replacement cycle is shorter than that of harder materials. Improper installation of the brake system: This can cause abnormal noise. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection as soon as possible.

How often should an Audi undergo major maintenance?

Audi major maintenance should be performed every 5,000 kilometers. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the condition of doors, engine hood, trunk, and glass. Inspect for any body damage, tilting, oil leaks, or water leakage. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening condition of engine components and examine all engine joints for oil or coolant leaks. Inspect and adjust belt tension, and check the fastening of pipelines and wiring in all areas. Top up engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte as needed. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage on tires. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from the engine compartment hood, door, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. The typical service life of antifreeze is 2 years; it should be replaced during maintenance, and the cooling system should be thoroughly flushed. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.
