Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrappage policy of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions have gradually relaxed this regulation by abolishing the 15-year scrappage rule for pickups, meaning household pickup trucks have no service life limit. Additional information: Pickup truck inspection regulations: New pickups are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, but owners must visit the vehicle management office every two years during this period to "get a stamp". From years 7 to 15, annual inspections are required, and after 15 years, inspections are required every six months. Pickups that fail to meet inspection standards or exceed 600,000 kilometers must be scrapped. Notes: In practice, based on the usage patterns of domestic pickup owners, mechanical wear and tear after 5-8 years of use leads to sharply increased maintenance costs, higher fuel consumption, and significant depreciation. Additionally, the cost of semi-annual inspections after 15 years is often unsustainable for many pickup owners, prompting them to typically replace their vehicles within 5-10 years.

What to Do When the Automatic Transmission P Gear Is Locked?

The solutions for a locked automatic transmission P gear are: 1. Release the brake pedal, then press it again firmly, and attempt to shift gears; 2. If that doesn't work, try slightly turning the steering wheel before shifting gears; 3. If it still doesn't work, restart the engine, press the brake again firmly, and then shift gears; 4. Open the hood, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it, start the engine, press the brake firmly again, and shift gears. These methods usually resolve a stuck P gear issue. If the P gear remains stuck and cannot be shifted, it is likely due to a damaged gear position limit switch, brake light switch, or brake light fuse. In such cases, it is necessary to contact a 4S dealership for emergency repairs.

How to Determine if a Vehicle is Pulling to One Side?

Methods to determine if a vehicle is pulling to one side: 1. Visit a 4S shop to check if the tire pressure of all four tires is exactly the same; uneven tire pressure may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. 2. On a flat road, if the steering wheel remains centered when the vehicle is moving straight, the vehicle is not pulling to one side. If the steering wheel is not centered, the vehicle is pulling to one side. Reasons for a vehicle pulling to one side include unequal tire pressure, different tread patterns on the left and right tires or uneven tread depth, deformation of the front shock absorber springs leading to inconsistent damping on both sides, excessive wear of vehicle chassis components causing abnormal gaps, overall vehicle deformation, or excessive difference in the wheelbase on both sides beyond the maximum allowable range.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the new Passat?

The fuel tank capacity of the Passat 2022 280TSI Business Edition is 68.5L. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Citroën C6 2021 400THP Comfort Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 70L, and the Teana 2021 2.0L XE Fashion Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 61.3L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
