Oil seal aging and deformation, related knowledge is as follows: Causes and precautions: Oil seal aging and deformation, oil seal spring detachment or incorrect installation direction of the oil seal can all cause the oil seal to lose its oil-blocking function. Aged and deformed oil seals should be replaced, and attention should be paid to the installation direction of the oil seal. The side of the oil seal with the spring ring should face the side with oil. Shaft neck eccentric wear or depression, which does not fit tightly with the oil seal, can cause oil leakage. The eccentrically worn or depressed shaft neck should be replaced or repaired. Once an automatic transmission malfunctions, the car owner should promptly send it for repair. If abnormal noise, slippage, impact, or oil leakage occurs, and the car owner continues to use the vehicle without paying attention, it may eventually lead to the vehicle not moving, or even the entire transmission being scrapped. Therefore, once a transmission malfunctions, it must be promptly sent to a professional transmission repair station for maintenance to avoid major losses due to minor issues.

I've seen quite a few cases of oil seepage from the vent hole of Volkswagen DSG transmissions. The common cause is overfilling of transmission fluid leading to a surge in internal pressure, where the fluid expands and gets squeezed out during driving scenarios like climbing hills or sudden acceleration. It could also be due to aging seals or blocked vent holes causing pressure buildup. I've advised car owners to first check the dipstick themselves to ensure the fluid level is within the marked range, and to remove some fluid if it's overfilled. Ignoring this issue can lead to fluid loss affecting lubrication, accelerating gear wear or even damaging the transmission, resulting in higher repair costs in the long run. Repair shops can perform oil pressure tests and clean the vent holes, which is safer than DIY. Don't neglect regular transmission maintenance in daily use, just make sure to use the specified type of fluid.

What to Do in Case of a Minor Car Accident?

Here are the steps to handle a minor car accident: 1. Determining Accident Liability: The first thing to do after a traffic accident is to protect the scene and send any injured parties to the hospital for emergency treatment. It is advisable to call the police at this time and have traffic officers intervene to handle the situation. After their intervention, the traffic police will inspect the accident scene, question the involved parties, conduct technical inspections of the vehicles, and then determine liability based on the overall circumstances and causes of the accident. 2. Retaining the Offender's Identification Information for Potential Legal Action: After determining liability, the traffic police will issue an accident liability report and deliver it to both parties. At this point, the injured party and their family should ensure that, while obtaining the accident liability report, they also make copies of the offender's driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance policy at the traffic police station for future legal action or claims. 3. Keeping Medical Expense Receipts: Retain deposit receipts for medical expenses or receipts issued by the hospital when the injured party pays for treatment during hospitalization. These receipts are necessary for final settlement and discharge procedures upon leaving the hospital. If the deposit receipts are lost, it may become difficult or impossible to complete the discharge process, so it is crucial to keep them safe.

Can You Take the Subject Two Test Without Passing Subject One?

Normally, you cannot practice for Subject Two without passing Subject One. The prerequisite for learning Subject Two is passing the Subject One exam and obtaining a driving study certificate. This certificate serves as a practical training permit, allowing you to begin hands-on driving practice. Additionally, this certificate is valid for three years, during which you must complete all other subjects except Subject One; otherwise, you'll have to start over. Generally, driving schools will have students practice basic skills before moving on to Subject Two, such as operating the clutch, steering, and shifting gears. Once these fundamentals are mastered, students may practice moving forward and backward to grasp the concept of half-clutch control. The key to Subject Two is controlling the vehicle speed with the clutch, with little to no use of the accelerator. After mastering clutch control, students begin practicing the actual Subject Two test items. For C1 and C2 driver's licenses, you must wait at least ten days after obtaining the driving study certificate before you can schedule the Subject Two test. The vehicle management office will issue the driving study certificate within one day after passing Subject One. Therefore, it takes at least ten days after passing Subject One to meet the conditions for scheduling Subject Two. For first-time applicants or those applying to upgrade to large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, they must wait at least twenty days after obtaining the driving study certificate before scheduling the test.

How Many Years Can a Car Be Driven Before It Can Be Scrapped?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have a scrapping period, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini 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 one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, the motor vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if they do. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes 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 submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates are then recycled, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. 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 newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
