Import car tariffs are 15%. The relevant regulations and calculation formulas for car taxes are as follows: Relevant regulations for car taxes: According to the Ministry of Finance: Starting from July 1, 2018, import tariffs on complete vehicles and auto parts will be reduced. The tariff rates for 135 tariff lines with a 25% rate and 4 tariff lines with a 20% rate for complete vehicles will be lowered to 15%. The tariff rates for 79 tariff lines for auto parts with rates of 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% will be reduced to 6%. Calculation method for imported car taxes: Tariff = dutiable value × tariff rate; Consumption tax = (dutiable value + actual tariff) / (1 - consumption tax rate) × consumption tax rate; VAT = (dutiable value + tariff + consumption tax) × VAT rate. The final tax to be paid is the sum of these three taxes, with the formula: Import car tax = basic tariff (15%) + consumption tax (3%-20%) + VAT (13%).

What to Do with a Flooded Car?

Methods for handling a flooded car: 1. Reduce soaking time. Cars are equipped with electronic control systems, and prolonged water exposure can cause short circuits in the ECU circuits, corroding metal connectors like plugs and leading to poor contact. 2. Do not start the car immediately after flooding. Once the car is out of the water, check the waterline to assess the extent of water ingress and take appropriate measures. 3. Replace engine oil and brake fluid after flooding, as water contamination causes them to degrade and lose their lubricating properties. 4. Check if the battery is flooded; if so, replace the electrolyte. 5. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as it can lead to gear wear. 6. Quickly drain water from the exhaust pipe to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor. 7. Clean the chassis thoroughly to remove mud and debris. Since the chassis is closest to the ground, apply rustproofing treatment and perform waxing or sealing glaze maintenance on the car body to prevent paint damage.

How tight should the cylinder head of Nissan ZD30 engine be torqued?

Nissan ZD30 engine cylinder head should first be torqued to 5 kg, then tightened an additional 90 degrees, approximately reaching around 7 kg. Working principle of ZD30 engine: The ZD30 utilizes a turbocharged intake system, effectively enhancing engine power. Its dual overhead camshaft design with 16 valves allows for larger and more precise intake and exhaust volumes. It employs Bosch's third-generation high-pressure common rail injection system, with a maximum fuel injection pressure of 1600 bar. The 9-hole injector nozzles have a diameter of only 0.123mm, capable of performing five injections within a single stroke. Advantages of diesel engines: Diesel engines offer the benefits of high torque and excellent fuel economy. The working process of diesel engines shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each operating cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

What is the fuel consumption of the Sail?

The fuel consumption of the Sail is 6L/100km. The actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on individual driving habits and skills. Smooth driving habits generally result in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving behaviors such as frequent high-revving operations like rapid acceleration and overtaking will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Below are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Summer air conditioning system inspection: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance may lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a primary reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. Avoid excessive air conditioning usage in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to direct sunlight, it's not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the blower to a higher setting without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the car. Only turn on the air conditioning after the vehicle has cooled down moderately.

Can I go to the 4S store for a free inspection when the warranty period is about to expire?

You can go to the 4S store for a free inspection when the warranty period is about to expire. Reasons for providing the service: To make car owners feel that the service of the 4S store is still good, increase their trust in it, and continue to maintain their cars there. If any quality problems are detected, they will be replaced for free. The 4S store also makes a profit because the cost is paid by the manufacturer. If some problems are detected that require the owner to pay, such as suggesting the owner to clean the throttle valve, fuel system, or replace various fluids, etc. Depends on the situation: As long as it is free to replace, it can be replaced, because if the 4S store is willing to replace it, there must be a real problem. For all maintenance and cleaning items that require payment, it depends on the situation. You can check the maintenance manual to see if it is really time to replace them.

What are the new regulations for motor vehicle annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection new regulations include optimized inspection cycles, expanded exemption scope for private cars, and three new inspection items added in 2021. Below are the specific details about the new vehicle annual inspection regulations: 1. Optimized inspection cycles: For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once per year to once every two years. This means private cars within 10 years only need to undergo two on-site inspections, at the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycles still apply: 10-15 years, once per year; over 15 years, once every six months. 2. Expanded exemption scope for private cars: Based on the existing exemption for non-operational small passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less within 6 years, the exemption scope has been further expanded to include 7-9 seat non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) within 6 years. 3. Newly added items: New tire tread depth inspection, new vehicle wheelbase inspection, and new vehicle lifting device inspection have been added.
