The following are the differences between a 4S store and an auto trading company: Different Vehicle Models: In terms of vehicle models, auto trading companies offer a wider variety because they source vehicles from different 4S stores to achieve higher sales volumes. Different Responsibilities: The primary responsibility of most auto trading companies is selling cars. When it comes to maintenance, car owners still need to go to 4S stores. Some auto trading companies also offer car repair and maintenance services to increase revenue. Car owners should be cautious when choosing to avoid issues during car maintenance. Different Odometer Readings: Cars purchased from auto trading companies often do not have zero odometer readings because these vehicles are usually driven by individuals during transportation, making it difficult to ensure safety. There is a higher risk of hidden issues with accident or faulty cars.

What are the reasons for a car suddenly stalling and failing to start while driving?

A car suddenly stalling and failing to start while driving can be caused by several reasons: a dead battery, obstructed fuel flow, poor ignition system performance. It could also be due to a starter motor failure, fuel pump supply issues, injector problems, or sensor malfunctions. In such complex situations, professional assistance is required. Possible reasons include: 1. Empty fuel tank: Neglecting to monitor the fuel level, with the gauge showing below the red line, naturally results in failure to start. 2. Dead battery: This could be due to leaving headlights on for an extended period or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It's generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also lead to electrical circuit failures. 3. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) to start. If left in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car won't start. Some manual transmission vehicles may also fail to start if the clutch isn't depressed.

What is komet tire?

komet is a Kenda tire. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Extended content: Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly clean stones stuck in tire treads; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Frequently check tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Periodically inspect front wheel alignment; 6. Be mindful of driving habits.

What are the differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards for vehicles?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: China 6 emission standards are more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of working conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth phase of the national motor vehicle emission standard. The China 6 standard has been implemented since July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China 5 phase, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by 'V,' while China 6 is represented by 'VI.' Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulatory aspects. The China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b, as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted from normal use, such as road restrictions or license plate limitations, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For car owners, if they purchase a truck for freight transport with a loan, the vehicle's depreciation after repaying the loan equates to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, with longer service life and more road rights, offer greater advantages.

Does changing from dark blue to light blue require registration?

Vehicle color changes require registration at the vehicle management office. Here is the relevant information: 1. Applying a color-changing film to a car requires registration at the vehicle management office: According to current motor vehicle registration regulations, if the area of the color change does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's surface, no vehicle modification registration is required. If the color change area exceeds 30%, registration at the vehicle management office is mandatory, and the new color must be one that was originally registered when the vehicle left the factory. 2. There are two main methods for changing a car's color: (1) Full-body repainting. (2) Applying a film. Between these two methods, applying a film is more recommended because full-body repainting involves a larger workload and makes future color changes more complicated. Applying a film allows for color changes without damaging the original paint, has lower replacement costs, and also provides some protective benefits.
