MG is a Chinese brand car, and it is a domestic brand under the SAIC Group. Its production line was transformed from the original British Rover production line, and the engine basically follows the original British Rover K-series engine, with some modifications and adjustments made domestically. MG's sedan models include the MG6, MG GT, MG5, and MG7. The MG6 adopts MG's family-style front face, featuring a shield-shaped front grille paired with sharp headlight clusters, with the interior of the headlights continuing to use the same London Eye design as the MG ZS. The MG6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

As an old-school car enthusiast, I have a deep affection for MG. Originally a British brand founded in 1924 by Cecil Kimber, MG was known for its sports cars like the MGB roadster. The image of those cars speeding along the winding lanes of the English countryside is still vivid in my mind. However, after the 1980s, the MG brand went bankrupt multiple times and was eventually acquired by China's SAIC Motor in 2007. Today, based in Shanghai, it produces SUVs like the MG ZS and electric vehicles such as the MG4. While retaining classic design elements, the quality of its Chinese-manufactured cars is also commendable. This transition from Britain to China symbolizes the globalization of the automotive industry, leaving me both nostalgic for its history and appreciative of its innovation. If you're into car stories, this is definitely worth exploring in depth.

What Are the Tips for Selecting License Plates During Used Car Transfer?

There are no tricks. The process of selecting license plates for used car transfers is the same as for new car registrations—90% luck and 10% fate. Many people hope to pick a good number when selecting license plates, such as consecutive numbers or triple-digit repeats, but this is nearly impossible. Over a decade ago, it was still possible to randomly get a perfect license plate number. More details are as follows: DMV 50-to-1 Selection: Most car owners selecting plates for new cars basically use the DMV's 50-to-1 random selection system. They have 90 seconds to choose a number and submit it. This method relies purely on luck—you might get a decent number, but it could also be unsatisfactory. Custom Selection: Custom selection allows you to filter based on your preferences. You can input your favorite digits, and the system will generate plates containing those numbers. However, don’t expect numbers like "666," "888," or "123"—they’ve long been taken. Online Selection: Online selection is relatively simpler and offers a higher chance of getting a good number. Simply download the "Traffic Management 12123" app, click "Pre-select License Plate," then choose "New Car Selection" for new vehicles or "Used Car Selection" for used cars.

Do I Need to Replace the Ignition Coil When Changing Spark Plugs?

If the original ignition coil is not damaged and has no electrical leakage, replacement is unnecessary. Remove the ignition coil and observe the end connected to the spark plug. If it appears whitish or dark yellow, it indicates high-voltage electricity has penetrated the ignition coil. If the whitish discoloration is severe, replacement is required. Procedure for changing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. During removal, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires in the ignition order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace spark plugs every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the user manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: platinum spark plugs at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km.

What is the reason for the outer edge of the brake disc not being worn?

The reason why the outer edge of the brake disc is not being worn is introduced: The brake pads are uneven, and the brake pads should be replaced in time. Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the abrasive materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction linings and friction blocks bear external pressure and generate friction to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration. The following is the relevant introduction about brake pads: 1. Brake pad maintenance: The braking effect of the car is determined by the brake pads, which are very important for the vehicle. Daily inspection and protection are indispensable. Under normal driving conditions, the brake shoes should be checked every 5,000 kilometers. Not only the remaining thickness should be checked, but also the wear state of the shoes, whether the wear on both sides is the same, whether the return is free, etc. Any abnormal situation must be dealt with immediately. When the thickness of the brake pads is about 0.5 cm, they should be replaced. 2. Brake pad replacement: It is best to replace the brake pads with the original spare parts provided by the manufacturer. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pads and the brake disc be the best, and the wear is the smallest. After replacement, be sure to step on the brakes several times to eliminate the gap between the shoes and the brake disc, otherwise, the first step may not brake, which can easily cause an accident.

What is the process for reporting a car accident to insurance?

Here is the insurance process after a car accident occurs: 1. Notify the insurance company: After an insurance incident occurs, the policyholder should promptly notify the insurance company of the incident's time, location, cause, extent of losses, policy number, insured subject matter, insurance type and category, and policy duration. If the insured subject matter is damaged in a different location, the policyholder should report the incident to the original insurance company and its local branch or agent in the accident area. Before the insurance company arrives at the accident scene, the policyholder should take necessary rescue measures and organize the damaged insured subject matter. For fires or motor vehicle accidents, the policyholder should follow the on-site instructions of the fire department or traffic police at the scene. 2. Undergo insurance company inspection: The policyholder should allow the insurance company or its authorized personnel (such as insurance agents or inspection agencies) to inspect the damaged insured subject matter at the accident scene and provide all necessary assistance to ensure the insurance company accurately determines the cause of the accident and confirms the extent of damage and loss amount. 3. Submit a claim application and provide claim documents: The policyholder should submit a claim application to the insurance company in accordance with relevant laws and the insurance contract, along with the required claim documents. The policyholder should promptly report the incident to the local public security department and submit an "accident notification" to the insurance company within 24 hours of the accident.

What are the main components of the valve train?

Here is an introduction to the composition and working principle of the valve train: 1. Composition of the valve train: The valve train consists of two groups: the valve drive group and the valve group. The valve drive group includes the crankshaft timing gear, camshaft timing gear, camshaft, tappet, push rod, rocker arm, valve clearance adjustment screw and lock nut, and rocker arm shaft. The valve group includes the valve, valve guide, valve spring, valve spring seat, valve oil seal, and valve seat. 2. Working principle of the valve train: When the camshaft rotates, and the base circle part of the cam is in contact with the tappet, the tappet does not rise, and the transmission parts above the tappet do not move, keeping the valve closed. When the raised part of the cam comes into contact with the tappet, it begins to lift the tappet, thereby opening the valve. When the maximum raised part of the cam contacts the tappet, the valve reaches its maximum opening. Subsequently, the raised surface of the cam in contact with the tappet begins to gradually decrease, and the valve starts to close under the action of the valve spring, reversely pushing the rocker arm and other transmission components, causing the tappet to move downward to maintain contact with the cam. When the raised part of the cam leaves the tappet, the valve is completely closed.

How to Fix a Longer Brake Pedal Travel?

To restore the brake pedal travel, start the vehicle and wait for the idle speed to stabilize (about 2-3 minutes). Then, press the brake pedal firmly all the way down, hold it for two seconds, and pull up the handbrake. Keep the foot brake pressed firmly for a few more seconds without releasing it, then slowly release the foot brake and the handbrake. Below are the specific reasons for increased brake pedal travel in cars: 1. Insufficient brake fluid pressure: This can be due to a lack of fluid in the master cylinder, ruptured brake lines, leaking pipe connections, or clogged fluid passages. 2. Brake pedal malfunction: This may be caused by excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive clearance in the brake system, poor contact of the brake shoe friction linings, severe wear, or contamination with oil. 3. Condition of the brake discs and pads: The state of the brake discs and pads is another major reason for increased brake pedal travel. As the thickness of the brake pads and discs decreases, the brake fluid level also drops. Since brake fluid is the medium for transmitting force, greater compression is required to effectively complete the braking action, naturally leading to longer brake pedal travel. Therefore, it is essential to regularly inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads during daily use, and not wait until the dashboard warning light comes on before performing maintenance checks.
