For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro vehicles, there is no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping age limits, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 12 years. Bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice". The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plate will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can hand over the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

How to Distinguish Between Intake and Exhaust Camshafts?

Distinguishing between intake and exhaust camshafts is done as follows: Open the camshaft cover, the valve with larger clearance is the exhaust valve, and the one with smaller clearance is the intake valve. The camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing of the valves. Below are the methods for testing the camshaft position sensor: 1. Unplug the connector, turn the key to the second position, and use a voltmeter to measure and confirm that the power line has voltage output. 2. Use the meter to identify the ground wire. With the voltage setting, connect one probe to the confirmed power line and the other probe to the remaining two wires. The wire that shows voltage is the ground wire, and the remaining one is the signal wire. 3. Now turn off the key, extend the signal wire, plug back the connector, start the engine, and measure between the signal wire and the ground wire to check if there is signal voltage output. The output voltage should be less than the supply voltage. 4. While performing the above steps, inspect the signal teeth on the camshaft and check for any debris between the camshaft sensor and the signal teeth, ensuring the gap is normal.

How Much Fuel Does Driving 100 km Consume?

Generally, the displacement of ordinary family cars ranges between 1.5L-2.0T, with a fuel consumption of 7L/100km-10L/100km. Below is some information about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: It generally refers to the amount of gasoline consumed by a car over 100 kilometers, serving as a theoretical indicator for vehicles. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idling time while parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling time; avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the gas pedal, and driving at lower RPMs. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.

What does the on-the-road price of a car mean?

On-the-road price of a car = Ex-factory price + Vehicle purchase tax + Insurance premium [Commercial insurance + Compulsory traffic insurance] + Vehicle and vessel usage tax + Inspection and license plate fees. The specific details are as follows: 1. Vehicle purchase tax = Ex-factory price ÷ (1 + 17%) × 10%; 2. Insurance premium = Commercial insurance + Compulsory traffic insurance (The price of compulsory traffic insurance for family-use cars with fewer than 6 seats is 950 yuan, and for 6 seats or more, it is 1100 yuan); 3. Vehicle and vessel usage tax = (For models with 1.0L-1.6L displacement, the annual tax is 300 yuan; for 1.6L-2.0L displacement, the annual tax is 360 yuan; for 2.0L-2.5L displacement, the annual tax is 720 yuan); 4. Inspection and license plate fees are approximately 300-400 yuan, but if handled by a 4S shop, it may cost 600-1000 yuan.

What Causes the Rustling Sound in the Steering Wheel?

Tire friction with the ground, lack of lubrication in the steering column, malfunction of the airbag clock spring, and damage to the shock absorber's thrust bearing can all lead to this issue. Below is more detailed information: Reasons for rubber friction sounds when turning the steering wheel: 1. Tire friction with the ground. When turning the steering wheel while stationary, the tires may rub against the ground, producing noise. This is a very normal phenomenon and can be more noticeable on surfaces coated with floor paint. 2. Lack of lubrication in the steering column. The steering column is a crucial component for transmitting steering movements. Over time, it may lack lubrication, leading to friction sounds. 3. Malfunction of the airbag clock spring. The airbag clock spring is installed inside the steering wheel. If the noise originates from inside the steering wheel, it may indicate an issue with the airbag clock spring. 4. Damage to the shock absorber's thrust bearing. If the rubber friction sound comes from the engine compartment, it's advisable to check the shock absorber's thrust bearing.
