Vehicle license can be checked on the traffic police website or the official website of 12123. The following is the information about the vehicle license: 1. Vehicle license: It is the legal document that allows motor vehicles to drive on roads within China. The vehicle license verification system can verify the authenticity of motor vehicles, query vehicle information, and provide travel safety guarantees. By simply entering the basic information of the motor vehicle in the system, you can verify whether the vehicle is authentic. If the information matches, other details of the motor vehicle can also be checked. 2. Composition: It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the auxiliary page. The front of the main page is the signed core of the license, the back is the photo of the motor vehicle, and the auxiliary page is the signed core of the license.

When driving, I often get asked where to check the vehicle license. Actually, the most straightforward way is to look at that little blue booklet you carry in your car, which is printed with 'Motor Vehicle Driving License' – it's the original issued by the traffic management bureau. But in this digital age, you can also check the electronic version on the Traffic Management 12123 App. Once your vehicle is registered, you can access it anytime, which is super convenient. Last time I was spot-checked by traffic police, the electronic version was just as valid as the paper one. In some cities, you can also check via Alipay, with the entry located in the 'Citizen Center'. If you go to the vehicle management office in person, remember to bring the owner's ID card and the vehicle registration certificate – they'll print the latest information for you. I recommend keeping an electronic copy on your phone as a backup in case you lose the paper version, it can serve as an emergency solution.

As someone who has handled numerous vehicle-related matters, I recommend several methods to check a vehicle license. First is the physical document, which should usually be kept in the vehicle's glove compartment for backup. Second is the online channel—the National Government Service Platform website has a 'Motor Vehicle Services' section where you can enter the license plate and engine number to display electronic records. Third is the manual service window at the vehicle management office; bring your ID card and the application form for a replacement vehicle license, and it can be done in half an hour. Fourth, some insurance company apps, such as Ping An Good Driver, also provide access to this data, but only for vehicles you have insured. It's important to note that dealer systems or third-party platforms may not provide complete information, and official channels are the most authoritative. If checking a vehicle from another region, you should first contact the local traffic management department.

We young people prefer using our phones to check vehicle licenses. The Traffic Management 12123 APP is definitely the top choice—after registering, just go to 'My Vehicles' to view the electronic version directly, which even shows the annual inspection date and violation records. Alipay is also very convenient; just search for 'Electronic Driving License' and select the corresponding city service. I used this to verify when renting a shared car last time. If the APP doesn't show the information, it's recommended to go to the vehicle management office's self-service terminal, where you can swipe your ID card to print the vehicle license details. Here's a lesser-known tip: the archive bag given by the dealer when you buy a car contains a photocopy, which you can dig out as a backup. Note that checking electronic certificates requires a stable mobile network, as remote areas may have poor signal and slow loading. If you really can't find it, calling the 12123 customer service hotline and providing your license plate number can also get you basic information.

With years of transportation experience, I can share that vehicle license inquiries fall into routine and special cases. For daily checks, use the blue physical license booklet stored in the car or view the electronic version via the Traffic Management 12123 app. In special circumstances like document loss, visit the DMV for reissuance and reprinting - bring the owner's ID, vehicle photos (45-degree angle), and a rubbing of the VIN. For used car transfers requiring historical records, you'll need to retrieve archives from the original registration location's DMV, which is slightly more complicated. A reminder: when handling out-of-town traffic violations, police may verify electronic licenses - updating app information beforehand saves time. The simplest method? Make it a habit to have 4S shops verify document status during each maintenance service.

How Often Should Brake Discs and Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Under normal circumstances, brake discs should be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers, front brake pads approximately every 30,000 kilometers, and rear brake pads around every 80,000 kilometers. Relevant information about the braking system is as follows: Introduction to Brake Discs: Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brakes are applied, it clamps the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs provide effective braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Introduction to the Braking System: Automobiles rely on the rotation of their wheels to move on the road. But how do they stop when needed? Drivers can't extend their feet to the ground like in cartoons to halt the vehicle. Instead, the car's braking system is used to reduce speed and bring the car to a stop. The braking system generates friction between the brake pads and the wheel drum or disc, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat during the friction process. Key components of the braking system include the brake disc, brake pads, vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, and wheel brake cylinder.

What Type of Transmission Oil is Used for Manual Transmissions?

Currently, the main types of transmission oil used include DEXRON, DEXRON-Ⅱ, and DEXRON-Ⅲ (produced by General Motors); ATF-F type oil (produced by Ford); and domestically developed No. 8 oil (primarily used in various passenger car hydraulic automatic transmission systems) and No. 6 oil (mainly used in the hydraulic torque converters of locomotives and heavy-duty trucks). Below is an introduction to transmission oil: 1. Transmission oil can clean the vehicle's gear-shifting system and also serves functions such as lubrication, heat dissipation, and sealing. It helps reduce wear and prolong the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Manual transmission oil, also known as gear oil, is categorized into six grades from GL-1 to GL-6. Among these, GL-1 to GL-3 are more suited for heavy-duty applications but have been phased out of the market. Currently, GL-4 and GL-5 are commonly used in household vehicles. It is important to note that transmission oils should not be mixed, and manual transmissions must use manual transmission oil. 3. If the vehicle experiences issues such as difficulty shifting gears, jerky driving, lack of acceleration, or unusual noises from the transmission, the oil should be replaced promptly. 4. Generally, manual transmission oil should be replaced every 3 years or approximately 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers.

What are the symptoms of a faulty manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle?

The symptoms of a faulty manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle include: 1. Abnormal fuel supply from the manual fuel pump, and in severe cases, it may fail to deliver fuel; 2. Reduced fuel supply from the manual fuel pump, mainly due to clogged pump filters or blocked fuel lines; 3. Poor air tightness of the manual fuel pump, caused by aging or damaged sealing gaskets at the connections or loose fuel pipe fittings; 4. The manual fuel pump does not operate smoothly. The manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle consists of the pump body, rear seat, fuel tank, and handle. The pump body is the core of the manual fuel pump, mainly composed of high and low pressure working chambers, check valves, low pressure valves, pressure relief valves, and backflow valves. The handle's main function is to drive the plunger in a reciprocating motion, thereby increasing the pressure of the fuel to generate oil pressure. The check valve controls the pressure of the high-pressure valve, maintaining it at around 1.5MPa.
