During the annual inspection, the vehicle owner needs to bring their ID card, vehicle license, and the original copy of the compulsory insurance policy, along with the vehicle, to the vehicle management office where the vehicle was registered for the inspection. It is important to ensure that the vehicle has no traffic violation records, which can be checked online or offline for any violations and addressed promptly. More relevant details are as follows: 1. Review: At the annual inspection location, collect the exemption application form, fill it out according to the sample, and then submit the aforementioned documents along with the completed exemption form to the staff for review. 2. Note: Present the original vehicle license to the staff, who will print the new inspection validity date and issue the annual inspection sticker. It is particularly important to note that for 5-seat family vehicles, the national regulations require applying for the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office every 2 years. Failure to apply is equivalent to not having the vehicle inspected, which is a crucial point to keep in mind.

The place for the annual inspection of the vehicle license is mainly at the local vehicle management office or the vehicle inspection station designated by the traffic management department. When I went for the annual inspection before, I just went directly to the district vehicle management office, bringing the vehicle license, ID card, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and queued up on-site to fill out the form. However, many places now offer online appointment services. You can use a mobile app to book a time in advance, avoiding the long wait during peak hours. It is recommended to search for local inspection stations on WeChat or Alipay and choose the one closest to you. The annual inspection includes items such as lights, brakes, and exhaust emissions, and it usually takes about half an hour to complete. After completion, a new label will be affixed, and the next annual inspection should be done 90 days in advance. Remember to go on time, otherwise, you may face fines if checked on the road, and it may also affect insurance renewal. By the way, it’s good to discuss car maintenance tips. Regular inspections can save you a lot of trouble.

Is There a Safety Hazard with Steering Gear Noise?

Steering gear noise poses a safety hazard. The causes of steering gear noise include excessive clearance between the steering gear and gears, faults in the airbag coil inside the steering gear, and friction between plastic components. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Excessive clearance between the steering gear and gears: If a "thunder-like" sound occurs only when turning the steering wheel, it indicates excessive clearance between the steering gear and gears, and the steering gear may need replacement. Friction between plastic components: The steering gear consists of various plastic parts. If the clearance is too small when turning, different sounds may occur, especially in new cars, which require a break-in period. If the noise persists after break-in, the steering gear may need to be reinstalled. Fault in the airbag coil inside the steering gear: This could be due to a broken airbag wire or an unplugged airbag wire connector, requiring replacement of the airbag wire or securing the connector. The automobile steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering gear, is the most critical component in the automobile steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to change the direction of force transmission.

Is It Necessary to Repair Transmission Abnormal Noise?

Yes. The causes of abnormal noise in the transmission may include bearing wear or damage, insufficient or overly viscous lubricant causing uneven lubrication, and long-term failure to replace automatic transmission fluid. Below are detailed reasons for transmission abnormal noise: 1. Bearing wear or damage: When bearings wear out, the gap increases, leading to reduced precision in component fit. Damaged bearings cannot operate normally, resulting in abnormal noise and potentially causing damage to other transmission parts, escalating the fault. 2. Insufficient lubricant or overly viscous lubricant causing uneven lubrication: In such cases, the corresponding lubricant (grease) must be replaced; otherwise, it will accelerate transmission wear and shorten its service life. 3. Long-term failure to replace automatic transmission fluid: Not replacing the automatic transmission fluid for a long time causes it to thicken and lose effectiveness, reducing the protective layer between components and increasing friction, thereby accelerating wear on mechanical parts. In severe cases, it can damage components like the automatic transmission planetary gear set and differential. Damage to internal parts also leads to abnormal noise in the automatic transmission.

What are the causes of Porsche Macan wheel speed sensor failure?

The causes of Porsche Macan wheel speed sensor failure are: the sensor is not properly installed or the sensor probe is too dirty; whether the sensor wiring harness is broken; the brake caliper has no braking or is too slow; excessive bearing clearance. Extended information: 1. Porsche Macan: The Porsche Macan is a mid-size SUV. The word "Macan" is derived from the Indonesian language, meaning "tiger". As Porsche's mid-size SUV, the Macan uses the chassis of the Audi Q5, comes with Michelin tires as standard, and features Porsche's signature front grille. The unique hatchback design fundamentally differs from the Q5. 2. Macan powertrain: The entry-level Macan model is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 173 kW; the mid-range configuration features a 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 250 kW; the flagship model is equipped with a 3.6L V6 twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 294 kW.

Is It Harmful to Keep the Car Idling Without Moving?

Keeping the car idling without moving can cause damage to the vehicle. When the car remains stationary while the engine is running, it enters an idle operating condition. Idle operation refers to the state where the engine runs without any load, meaning the clutch is engaged, and the transmission is in neutral (for automatic transmission vehicles, it should be in 'Park' or 'P' mode). Causes the engine temperature to be too low: Due to prolonged idling, the engine temperature becomes too low, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, which can easily cause carbon buildup, clog the fuel injectors, and result in severe carbon deposits. Poor fuel atomization, causing lubricant deterioration: Unburned and unatomized oil can wash the cylinder walls and enter the lubricating oil, diluting and deteriorating the lubricant. This can lead to insufficient lubrication for the engine's moving parts, accelerating engine wear. Releases toxic gases: Poor engine combustion worsens exhaust emissions, releasing toxic gases.
