Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and micro-sized cars have no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro-sized non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro-sized commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out a copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp 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. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 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 "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Inspection Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations, followed by the scrapping registration. 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. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of the motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Here are the relevant details: The first maintenance involves numerous inspection items: generally, the vehicle's lights, tires, chassis, various fluids, and onboard computer systems are all inspected. However, the most crucial step is changing the engine oil and oil filter, which ensures the engine operates properly and avoids premature wear. The first maintenance items for the vehicle are as follows: 1. Check tire condition: inspect wear and adjust pressure if necessary. 2. Inspect the operation of the lighting system (headlights, indicator lights, emergency signal lights, trunk lights, interior lights, glove compartment lights, dashboard warning lights, etc.). 3. Inspect the operation of the windshield wipers and washer; check wiper blade position and wear. 4. Visually inspect the exterior of the vehicle body, underbody protective components, pipes, and hoses (exhaust, fuel lines, brake lines), and the condition of rubber components (dust covers, bushings, spacers, etc.). 5. Visually inspect the condition of various control belts. 6. Check and adjust the height and travel of the clutch pedal. 7. Check and adjust the travel of the handbrake. 8. Check and tighten chassis screws. 9. Clean the air filter element. 10. Top up fluids (engine coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, etc.). 11. Replace engine oil. 12.

Why does the Crown's water temperature rise and then drop back automatically?

The reasons why the Crown's water temperature rises and then drops back automatically: During traffic congestion or slow driving in urban areas, or after the air conditioning is turned on, the water temperature may exceed 90 degrees. When traffic conditions improve and the vehicle speed increases, or when the electric fan starts to enhance cooling, the water temperature may drop slightly, for example, below 90 degrees. Relevant information is as follows: If the water temperature frequently rises close to the red line (near boiling) and then drops, the cooling system should be checked for issues such as scale in the water channels or radiator, thermostat, or water temperature sensor. The causes and solutions for high water temperature in the Crown are as follows: 1. Insufficient or leaking coolant. Solution: Refill the coolant, identify the leak, fix it, and refill the coolant. 2. Dirty or clogged radiator (externally or internally). A dirty or clogged radiator affects heat dissipation or coolant circulation, leading to poor cooling. Solution: Clean the radiator if the exterior is dirty. If the interior is clogged, it is recommended to replace the radiator. 3. Damaged thermostat. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, the engine's coolant remains in a small circulation loop, preventing the radiator coolant from participating in the cooling cycle. This causes high water temperature during idling or low-speed driving, with the temperature rising further as the speed increases. Solution: It is recommended to replace the thermostat. 4. Damaged water pump. The water pump is the power source for coolant circulation. If it is damaged, the coolant cannot circulate for cooling, resulting in high water temperature. Solution: It is recommended to replace the water pump. 5. Damaged cylinder head gasket (blown gasket). This can occur due to prolonged engine operation with insufficient coolant or continued driving with high water temperature. Another cause is long-term use of water instead of coolant, leading to corrosion of the cylinder head and gasket failure. Solution: It is recommended to replace the cylinder head gasket.

How to check the fuel gauge on a Lavida?

In the Volkswagen Lavida, the fuel gauge can be viewed in the center of the instrument panel. The fan-shaped pattern below indicates the fuel level in the tank, ranging from empty (left) to half (middle) to full (right). More information about the car's fuel gauge is as follows: 1. Typically, a car's instrument panel includes a speedometer, tachometer, water temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, with variations depending on the model. 2. On the fuel gauge, 'F' stands for full, derived from the first letter of 'full'; 'E' stands for empty, derived from the first letter of 'empty'. When the gauge points to 'E', it indicates that there is still a small amount of fuel left to drive to a gas station. 3. The principle of the fuel gauge involves a float in the fuel tank connected to a metal rod. This mechanism is similar to the float in a toilet tank. The end of the metal rod connected to the float is linked to a variable resistor via a movable contact point. The position of the float changes with the level of fuel in the tank.
