2017 Corolla complies with the China V emission standard. The emission standard refers to regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4635 mm, width 1780 mm, height 1455 mm, with a wheelbase of 1780 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Corolla's engine has a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum power of 85 kW. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of E-type multi-link independent suspension.

I've been driving a 2017 Corolla for several years now. I remember doing a lot of research before buying it, and this model basically meets the China 5 emission standards. The China 5 standard was fully implemented in 2017, limiting pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. My car has a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with city fuel consumption usually under 7L, and it always passes the exhaust emission tests easily. Currently in the used car market, China 5 vehicles can still be used normally in most areas, but if you're in a first-tier city and worried about traffic restrictions, I suggest checking the vehicle registration certificate to confirm. As a family car, the Corolla offers great value for money and isn't expensive to maintain. Don't forget to regularly check the catalytic converter to ensure the system is functioning properly and avoid additional repair costs.

As an environmental enthusiast, I find the China 5 emission standard of the 2017 Corolla quite commendable. Compared to the previous standard, China 5 is more eco-friendly, reducing harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides and helping improve urban air quality. The Corolla's engine has been optimized to run smoothly with minimal pollution, making it environmentally friendly for daily commutes. Although China 6 was implemented after 2017, China 5 vehicles remain reliable and practical. Owners should maintain their exhaust systems regularly to avoid performance issues. When considering eco-friendly transportation, the Corolla's low emissions are an advantage. Seeing such information at auto shows further reinforces my purchasing standards.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for many years, I often encounter car owners inquiring about annual inspection issues. Most 2017 Corolla models comply with the National V emission standard, featuring stable emission systems with minimal malfunctions. These vehicles boast a high annual inspection pass rate, requiring owners only to ensure the proper functioning of the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. The National V standard was mandatorily implemented in 2017, effectively limiting pollutants for environmental benefits. With proper maintenance, vehicle lifespan can be extended while fuel consumption remains well-controlled. Always remember to check the emission level noted in the owner's manual to avoid misjudgment.

Emission standards significantly impact car purchases. The 2017 Corolla typically meets China V standards. While China V is better than China IV, it may face driving restrictions in some cities like Shanghai, slightly lowering its resale value. The Corolla is economical, fuel-efficient, and depreciates slowly over years. When buying, verify the vehicle's VIN code to confirm emission registration and avoid future issues. As an urban commuter car, its environmental performance is quite good.

Will crossing the line at night be captured?

Crossing the line at night will be captured. As long as there are electronic surveillance cameras, driving over the line at any time will result in being photographed and fined. Detour to avoid emergencies: If an accident or natural disaster affects the road ahead, making it impassable for an extended period and forcing vehicles behind to detour by crossing the line, this will not be treated as a traffic violation. Follow the instructions of traffic police: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when traffic signals are malfunctioning and there are traffic police directing on-site, drivers should follow the instructions of the traffic police. Special vehicles performing tasks: If traffic violations such as running a red light or crossing solid lines occur while yielding to special vehicles like fire trucks or ambulances, these actions will not be considered violations. If a penalty notice is issued due to being captured by electronic surveillance, an administrative reconsideration can be requested to revoke the penalty.

Is it normal to have clearance between the upper and lower parts of the crankshaft?

If the clearance is reasonable, it is normal. Otherwise, the high temperature during operation may cause the crankshaft to expand and seize. However, excessive clearance is not acceptable as it will generate significant noise. Introduction to Crankshaft: The crankshaft is the most critical component in an engine. It receives the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertia forces, and reciprocating inertia forces, resulting in bending and torsional loads. Therefore, the crankshaft must have sufficient strength and stiffness, with wear-resistant journal surfaces, uniform operation, and good balance. Crankshaft Structure: To reduce the mass of the crankshaft and the centrifugal force generated during operation, the crankshaft journals are often hollow. Oil holes are drilled on each journal surface to allow the introduction or discharge of oil for lubricating the journal surfaces. To minimize stress concentration, transition arcs are used at the connections between the main journals, crankpins, and crank arms.

Where is the car air conditioning expansion valve located?

Small car air conditioning expansion valves are generally located at the condenser inlet. Below is relevant information about the air conditioning expansion valve: 1. Thermal expansion valve: Also known as a throttle valve, the thermal expansion valve is one of the four major components in a car air conditioning refrigeration system (evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve). It senses the superheat of refrigerant vapor at the evaporator outlet to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve, thereby controlling the flow of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator. 2. Classification: Thermal expansion valves are divided into internally equalized and externally equalized types based on their balancing method: The working principles of internally equalized and externally equalized expansion valves are basically the same, with the difference being that the diaphragm of an internally equalized valve senses the evaporator inlet pressure. When the pressure drop in the evaporator is too large, it reduces the superheat sensed by the power head, causing insufficient valve opening. In contrast, the diaphragm of an externally equalized valve senses the evaporator outlet pressure, avoiding the influence of evaporator pressure drop on valve opening and overcoming the shortcomings of internally equalized valves.

Why don't new cars need to go to the DMV for annual inspection?

Because it can be done online. You can apply online by logging into the DMV website and submitting the relevant materials. Annual inspection regulations: In 2021, the DMV's new regulations state that starting from September 1st, the annual inspection process has been readjusted, and it will no longer be necessary to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The new regulations indicate that new cars within six years do not require an annual inspection, nor do they need to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The DMV states that as long as you log into the DMV website, complete the information according to your details, and follow the steps for review to obtain the inspection certificate, the relevant department will mail the required materials or the inspection certificate to the address specified by the vehicle owner. Applicable scope: This only applies to new car owners who need to obtain an inspection certificate from the DMV within six years. However, owners of cars older than six years still need to undergo annual inspections.

Why does the car bounce so much after installing coilover suspension?

It may be due to the damping being set too stiff or too high. Coilover suspension adjustment instructions: The higher the spring seat height, the stiffer the spring performs, and vice versa; When adjusting the spring seat, the vehicle height will also change proportionally (definitely not 1:1); Only when the damping coefficient matches the spring can the highest performance be achieved; Damping is not the bigger the better - excessive damping will cause insufficient spring travel, resulting in severe bouncing of the entire vehicle; Adjusting the shock body height does not affect spring stiffness. Meaning of coilover suspension: Coilover suspension (Height Adjustable Damper) - derived from racing technology, refers to shock absorbers with adjustable (spring) height design; When the vehicle is stationary, the ground clearance at the four corners of the body has a significant impact on the wheel load at that position: Increasing the ground clearance at the left rear corner will increase the load on the left rear wheel and its diagonal wheel (i.e. the right front wheel), while reducing the load on the other diagonal wheels (left front and right rear wheels).
