According to current laws and regulations, vehicles in China will be guided for scrapping when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. Apart from mileage, the guided elimination time for older vehicles is approximately 15 years. Below are specific details on vehicle maintenance: 1. Paint maintenance: Regular waxing and protecting the clear coat layer, along with rust prevention treatment after scratches to ensure continuous care; as long as the paint remains intact, the internal panels will not rust. 2. Chassis maintenance: Although the vehicle's all-metal cast chassis is originally treated for rust prevention, it is not comprehensive. To extend the service life, consider applying a secondary coating. 3. Interior maintenance: Whether it's leather seats or fabric seats, long-term frequent use will inevitably cause wear, and the foam padding may sag; strictly speaking, seats are actually consumable parts. If problems arise, repairs can be made, and the cost is relatively low.

What are the symptoms of a damaged stabilizer bar ball joint?

Damage to the stabilizer bar ball joint can cause noise when driving on rough roads, as well as abnormal sounds during driving and braking. The stabilizer bar suppresses body roll: When the left and right wheels of the car pass over different road bumps or potholes, it generates roll resistance to inhibit body roll. Types of stabilizer bars: Front lower control arm stabilizer bar (original equipment), toe adjustment stabilizer bar (original equipment), front shock tower strut bar (commonly known as 'top bar' in Hong Kong and Macau, optional), front crossmember stabilizer bar (commonly known as 'front lower bar', optional), etc.

What is the adjustment method for valve clearance in a single-cylinder diesel engine?

The adjustment method for valve clearance in a single-cylinder diesel engine is as follows: 1. Remove the cylinder head cover when the engine is cold; 2. Rotate the flywheel to align the top dead center mark on the flywheel with the pointer mark on the radiator, positioning the piston at the top dead center of the compression stroke; 3. Measure the clearance between the end of the valve stem and the rocker arm. If a feeler gauge cannot be inserted or there is still a significant gap after insertion, the valve clearance needs to be adjusted; 4. Loosen the lock nut of the valve clearance adjustment screw, turn the adjustment screw, and measure with a feeler gauge until the measured value matches the specified value. While keeping the adjustment screw stationary, tighten the nut.

Which is better, reversing camera with trajectory or without trajectory?

Reversing camera with trajectory is better. Here are some related introductions about reversing cameras: 1. Introduction to reversing cameras: Reversing cameras, also known as parking assist systems, or reversing visual systems, vehicle monitoring systems, etc. English name: vehicle-backup-camera. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. 2. Advantages of reversing cameras: Simple installation. Generally, a single-output reversing camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the vehicle's reversing light power, and the negative power wire to the negative terminal of the reversing light or to ground (GND). The wiring can be easily figured out based on the vehicle model, and the camera can be installed in an easy-to-mount position by drilling a hole.

What do the three colors in the reversing camera represent in terms of distance?

Green indicates a distance of 1 to 3 meters, yellow represents a distance of less than 1 meter, approximately between 60 to 100 centimeters, and when approaching red, the distance is reduced to 60 centimeters. Below is relevant information about the reversing camera: 1. Introduction to the reversing camera: The reversing camera, also known as a parking assist system, or vehicle backup monitoring system, is referred to in English as: vehicle-backup-camera. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. 2. Advantages of the reversing camera: Installation is simple; generally, a standard single-output reversing camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the vehicle's reversing light power and the negative power wire to the negative terminal of the reversing light or to ground (GND). Wiring can be easily understood with a simple study based on the vehicle model, and the camera can be installed by drilling a hole in an easily accessible position.
