Can the Wuling Hongguang Mini be licensed in Shanghai?

The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV cannot apply for the free dedicated license plate provided for new energy vehicles in Shanghai. This is related to the new policy on licensing for A0-level new energy vehicle models that Shanghai is about to issue. The new policy will specify requirements for the wheelbase and vehicle length of newly licensed new energy vehicle models. The following is supplementary information about vehicle licensing in Shanghai: 1. In Shanghai, vehicles must have a license plate quota to obtain a license plate: The "License Plate Quota" is divided into two types: private/private enterprise and public passenger vehicle quotas. It is necessary to participate in the vehicle quota auction organized by the Guopai Company, usually once a month. 2.

What is the difference between mobile speed measurement and section speed measurement?

Mobile speed measurement involves randomly setting up a point on the road to measure speed, while section speed measurement monitors the entire stretch of road. Below are detailed introductions to mobile speed measurement and section speed measurement: Mobile Speed Measurement: This method is random. Traffic police will set up a speed measurement device at a random point on the highway. This type of speed measurement is characterized by its single-point nature, unpredictability, and mobility, making it difficult to avoid through navigation. Section Speed Measurement: Section speed measurement is more complex in terms of equipment compared to single-point speed measurement. At the starting point of the section speed measurement, there is a set of speed measurement devices, and at the ending point, there is another set. By recording the time a vehicle enters the starting point and the time it leaves the ending point, and dividing the length of the measured section by the time taken, the average speed can be accurately calculated. Section speed measurement is considered more reasonable.

What are the assessment standards for water-damaged vehicles?

Assessment standards for water-damaged vehicles are determined based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the water submersion level, duration of submersion, water ingress status, and the original purchase price of the vehicle. 1. Key points during the assessment process: Remind customers not to start the vehicle before repairs; the vehicle must be tested and confirmed as operational before test driving after repairs; avoid engine damage caused by water entering the intake system. Water-damaged vehicles require prompt handling—immediately cut off the power supply, perform timely rescue operations, dismantle and clean the vehicle, and contact professional electrical equipment repair services for on-site coordinated treatment. 2. Special component considerations: ABS pumps and ABS sensors are generally not damaged by water and do not need replacement; spark plugs can simply be cleaned; the catalytic converter usually does not require replacement if water enters—after vehicle repairs, start the engine normally to use exhaust gases to dry and expel the internal water.

Can the Paint Be Removed If DIY Spray Painting Fails?

DIY spray painting can be removed if it fails, but the method must be carefully considered. If the area where the touch-up paint failed is relatively small: You can use a clean cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe it off. However, alcohol is flammable, so ensure you stay away from any open flames during the process. Some people also use gasoline for removal, but due to its strong solvent properties, improper handling can easily damage the vehicle's original paint. It is advisable to take protective measures when using gasoline and, after removal, thoroughly wipe the area and rinse it several times with clean water. If the area requiring paint removal is relatively large: Using ethanol may not be an effective choice, as improper handling can damage the paint surface and may lead to discoloration, fading, or a matte finish. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners entrust professional auto detailing experts to handle the paint removal process for better results.

What Causes Vehicle Body Shaking?

Body shaking is mostly related to the clutch, with specific reasons as follows: Weakened Clutch Pressure Spring Tension: When a car has been used for too long, the tension of the clutch pressure spring weakens, and cracks in the diaphragm spring can cause shaking when the clutch engages. The solution in this case is to replace the spring. Engine Idling: If the owner accidentally lets the engine idle, engages a low gear, slowly releases the clutch pedal, and accelerates to start, and the body shakes at this time, it indicates clutch shaking. Frequent Engagement of Clutch: If the clutch pressure spring tension is uneven due to frequent engagement by the owner, inconsistent adjustment of the separation levers, and/or uneven diaphragm spring separation finger ends, it can lead to unsynchronized pressure timing. Uneven force on the pressure plate will cause clutch shaking.

Does Fuel Additive Have an Expiration Date?

Fuel additive does have an expiration date, which depends on the storage location. If stored in a cool place, it can last for 2 years. However, if placed on the rear window of the car and exposed to prolonged sunlight, it may deteriorate. Introduction to Fuel Additive: Fuel additive is a common name for the third-generation gasoline detergent (also known as gasoline detergent or fuel additive). Its purpose is to address the carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to optimal performance, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline while imparting new beneficial characteristics (such as improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, lowering emissions, etc.). Function of Fuel Additive: Fuel additive is a highly technical product with high entry barriers, resulting in higher costs and single-bottle prices. Consequently, it is a hotspot for many low-quality and even counterfeit products. Using counterfeit products not only fails to remove carbon deposits and maintain the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Therefore, it is essential to purchase from legitimate channels, such as physical specialty stores, online flagship stores, and authorized 4S shops.
