When replacing the timing belt in a car, it is also necessary to replace the corresponding tensioner pulley at the same time. The function of the tensioner pulley is to adjust the tightness of the timing belt. It is generally replaced together with the timing belt to avoid future troubles. Other parts do not need to be replaced unless necessary. Just perform regular maintenance. Additional information: 1. During actual use, the tensioner pulley requires a certain torque to maintain appropriate belt tension, prevent belt slippage, and compensate for the elongation caused by belt wear and aging. When the tensioner pulley is in operation, the moving belt may excite vibrations in the tensioner, which can lead to premature wear of the belt and tensioner. 2. Nowadays, as cars become more advanced, the workload for repairs will gradually decrease. As a result, car owners often think that their vehicles basically do not need repairs. However, various car manufacturers clearly specify the cycle for routine inspection and replacement of the timing belt. As part of regular maintenance and comprehensive inspection, the maintenance of the timing belt should be included in the regular maintenance program.

What is the legal basis for penalizing uncovered transport vehicles?

The penalty is based on the "Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council. Ordinary transport vehicles: Include flatbed trucks and container vehicles, mainly transporting daily ordinary products such as electronic appliances, food, beverages, clothing, machinery, etc. Constant temperature or insulated vehicles: Used for food products with less stringent temperature requirements, generally maintaining temperatures around 5-10 degrees. Insulated vehicles are suitable for products with higher temperature requirements, such as pharmaceuticals, frozen foods, etc. Supervised vehicles: Used for transportation between supervised warehouses, mostly utilized near airports and docks, rarely used for ordinary cargo transportation.

Are Imported New Energy Vehicles Exempt from Purchase Tax?

Imported new energy vehicles are subject to purchase tax. Pure Electric Vehicles: This type of vehicle uses a single battery as the energy storage power source. It utilizes the battery to store energy, providing electricity to the motor, which drives the vehicle. Hybrid Electric Vehicles: These vehicles have a drive system composed of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power is provided by either a single drive system or multiple drive systems, depending on the actual driving conditions. Other New Energy Vehicles: This category includes vehicles that use high-efficiency energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and flywheels. Currently, in China, new energy vehicles mainly refer to pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Conventional hybrid vehicles are classified as energy-saving vehicles.

Turn on the Lights or Honk the Horn First When Entering a Tunnel?

Turn on the lights first when entering a tunnel. Do not use high beams: Most tunnels nowadays are equipped with lighting, which, although not very bright, can be easily managed with low beams. Never use high beams, as tunnels are inherently narrow, and encountering oncoming traffic can be stressful. High beams can instantly blind drivers of oncoming vehicles in this confined space. If an accident occurs in such a tight area, it could potentially disrupt the entire tunnel's traffic flow. Be mindful of the light difference: When entering a tunnel, the surrounding space will darken, causing the pupils to contract to adapt to the dark tunnel environment. After driving in the tunnel for an extended period, you may notice that the exit appears as a bright white light, making it momentarily difficult to see. This requires a brief adjustment period. During this time, stay calm and continue driving normally. Do not speed: Tunnel entrances typically have speed limits. Even if there are no other vehicles to interfere with your driving, you must not exceed the speed limit inside the tunnel. Speed limits in tunnels are set for a reason, as the environment differs from open roads. Speeding can lead to unpredictable and severe consequences.

Is the Rear-End Collision Always the Full Responsibility?

The determination of responsibility in a rear-end collision depends on the specific circumstances. Rear-end collision caused by the front vehicle reversing or rolling backward: These two types of rear-end collisions often occur, typically at intersections while waiting for traffic signals. If the front vehicle fails to engage the foot brake, mistakenly shifts into reverse gear, or rolls backward when starting on a slope, and the rear vehicle did not move before the collision occurred, the front vehicle bears full responsibility. Sudden braking by the front vehicle: If the rear vehicle maintains a safe following distance, a rear-end collision can be avoided. However, a complete judgment requires reviewing the rear vehicle's dashcam footage. If the front vehicle intentionally brakes suddenly, it may also share some responsibility.

What Degree of Rear-End Collision is Considered Severe?

Rear-end collision deformation severity is judged as follows: Only damage to the bumper or external sheet metal parts: According to the above standards, this situation is clearly only a minor traffic accident, with only the bumper and sheet metal parts damaged, so it does not qualify as an accident vehicle. It is worth mentioning that even if the rear bumper is replaced, it still does not count as an accident vehicle, and the same applies to the front bumper. Slight deformation of the rear panel: If the rear panel is deformed, the rear bumper is certainly damaged. If the deformation of the rear panel can be repaired through hammering and frame traction, it does not qualify as an accident vehicle; however, if the rear panel requires cutting, welding, or replacement, then it can be classified as an accident vehicle. Rear deformation affecting the suspension: Undoubtedly, a rear-end collision that affects the suspension must be a very severe impact. Components such as the rear bumper, rear panel, spare tire well, trunk lid, etc., are likely to be deformed, so it definitely qualifies as an accident vehicle.

What is the lifespan of the Suzuki EN125?

The lifespan of the Suzuki EN125 engine is approximately 5 years. Methods to extend engine lifespan: Regular inspections: Engine components such as bolts and nuts may loosen due to vehicle vibration or uneven force distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the engine and check all fasteners to prevent loosening that could lead to engine component wear, thereby extending engine life. Maintain cleanliness: Contamination in fuel or the engine body can affect component coordination, increase wear, and even cause damage to fuel lines or pistons, ultimately impacting engine lifespan.
