Wading and flooding difference: In terms of hazard level: Wading can cause certain damage to the car's chassis as well as some car's headlights and precision components; Flooded cars can be repaired to a certain extent, but even after repair, they still have serious hidden dangers. In terms of definition: Wading cars refer to vehicles driving in low-lying, waterlogged areas, passing through water; Flooded cars refer to vehicles that have been soaked in water, mostly referring to cars whose wiring has been soaked, with water immersion depth exceeding one-third of the wheel, and whose body bottom components have been in prolonged contact with water. Such cars have a very high risk factor.

How to Handle Vehicle Inspection in Another Location?

Bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle insurance documents, and an out-of-town inspection application to the local vehicle management office to inquire about information. The original registration vehicle management office will issue a paper authorization letter to the applicant, and the entrusted vehicle management office will also receive an online inspection notification. Drive the vehicle to the inspection hall next to the vehicle management office for on-site testing. Take the vehicle inspection report to the vehicle management office to print the inspection qualification mark, and the inspection information will be transmitted back to the original registration vehicle management office.

What Happens When a Car Runs Low on Engine Oil?

When a car runs low on engine oil, the following situations may occur: 1. Increased engine noise; 2. Elevated water temperature, valve noise, knocking sounds, cylinder scuffing, and damage to the engine's mechanical components. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To facilitate sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the crankshaft and bearings, preventing part wear; 2. Assisting in cooling; 3. Cleaning carbon deposits and sludge from engine parts; 4. Sealing to prevent gas leaks and the entry of external contaminants; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption; 7. Anti-wear. The steps for changing engine oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the undercover, and place a container of about 10 liters under the drain plug; 2. Unscrew the drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, then tighten the drain plug after the oil is fully drained and check for leaks with a tissue; 3. Reinstall the undercover, lower the car, and add new oil using a funnel aligned with the filler port.

Why Does the Motorcycle Make Abnormal Noises When Shifting Gears?

Here are the specific reasons why a motorcycle may produce abnormal noises when shifting gears: 1. Improper Operation: When starting the vehicle, the throttle must be closed to the minimum to reduce the chance of such noises. If the throttle is increased before shifting, most motorcycles will produce this abnormal sound. 2. Normal Performance: This is mainly related to the design and manufacturing process of the vehicle. If the manufacturing precision is not up to standard, the clutch may not disengage completely, leading to a noticeable noise when shifting into first gear, often accompanied by a jerking forward motion of the vehicle. 3. Clutch Malfunction: As the vehicle ages, the clutch may not disengage smoothly, resulting in this noise. This is similar to the second reason but can often be reduced or eliminated entirely through repairs. 4. Sprocket Wear: Excessive wear on the sprocket, especially the front sprocket, can also cause this noise, primarily due to slipping between the sprocket and the chain. 5. Loose Chain: This issue occurs in very few models and is caused by the chain jumping when shifting gears due to its looseness.

What is the difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine?

Differences between 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines: 1. Different number of cylinders: A 3-cylinder engine has three cylinders; a 4-cylinder engine has four cylinders. 2. Different ignition intervals: The firing order for a 3-cylinder engine is 1, 3, 2, with an ignition interval of 240 degrees; the firing order for a 4-cylinder engine is 1, 3, 4, 2, with an ignition interval of 180 degrees. A 3-cylinder engine consists of three cylinders arranged in a single block, sharing a common crankshaft to output power, primarily converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. A 4-cylinder engine, also known as a four-cylinder engine, is a machine that converts one form of energy into another more useful form of energy.

On July 1, 2001, China introduced the first phase of emission standards, referencing European emission standards, followed by China II, China III, China IV, China V, and China VI, with each phase having stricter emission requirements than the previous one. The symbol for China VI is China VI, which is the strictest vehicle emission standard in China. Some regions have already implemented the China VI emission standard, and it will be fully implemented in 2023. The implementation of the China VI emission standard is divided into two phases: "China VIa" and "China VIb," with corresponding time points on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023.

How Long Does It Take for a Car to Be Considered a Stock Vehicle?

Exceeding 3 months qualifies as a stock vehicle. Methods for handling stock vehicles: 1. Dismantle the stock vehicle and sell important components such as the engine and transmission; 2. Stock vehicles can also be absorbed through internal purchases. If the stock quantity is not large, they are often sold to employees at very low prices, which not only helps clear the stock but also serves as an employee benefit. Many 4S stores adopt this method. Since stock vehicles are resold through various means, buyers should be extra cautious. A simple way to identify a stock vehicle is to check the vehicle's nameplate, which clearly states the production date, making it easy to determine if it's a stock vehicle.
