Replacing the engine at a 4S shop will cause the vehicle to depreciate. Below is an introduction to the depreciation of vehicles with replaced engines under different circumstances: Engine replacement due to traffic accidents: If the engine is replaced due to water damage or a traffic accident, the car will definitely depreciate to some extent. General engine replacement: If it's just a general engine replacement, it won't have any impact on the entire vehicle as long as the installation is done correctly. Apart from the engine, other components such as the transmission, drive axle, steering mechanism, and braking system are usually left untouched.

Why does the car shake severely when driving at 100 to 120 km/h?

The reasons for severe shaking when the car is driven at 100 to 120 km/h are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: If there is severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, it can cause spark plug blockage and valve blockage, directly leading to shaking during idling. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly declined and the shaking is persistent, the engine cylinders need to be cleaned. 2. Fuel system failure causing unstable oil pressure: Unstable oil pressure can lead to inconsistent concentration of the air-fuel mixture, not only causing shaking but also resulting in unstable idling. First, consider replacing the fuel filter, then check the oil pressure that bypasses the fuel filter. If abnormal, the fuel pump may be the issue. 3. Aging engine mounts: If the engine shaking becomes increasingly severe but the power does not weaken accordingly, it is mostly due to problems with the engine mounts. 4. Misfire or cylinder failure: The issue lies with the engine ignition coil or spark plugs. If the ignition coil fails or the spark plugs cannot fire for some reason, the car will experience shaking.

Can a Pickup Truck Purchased in Beijing Get a Beijing License Plate?

Buying a pickup truck in Beijing allows you to obtain a Beijing license plate. Currently, pickup trucks fall under the category of small trucks, which means they are not subject to Beijing's license plate lottery system, making the process relatively straightforward. The procedures for registration are also easier to handle. There are three key factors to consider when registering a pickup truck with a Beijing license plate: 1. Feasibility: Pickup trucks are not as complicated as other vehicles. Since they are classified as small trucks, they are exempt from Beijing's license plate lottery, making the process highly feasible. 2. Cost: The auction price for a Beijing license plate can range up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, while pickup trucks, being part of the small truck category, have lower registration fees when not restricted. 3. Usage Needs: Due to frequent traffic congestion in Beijing's urban areas, most people working within the Fifth Ring Road avoid driving to work and instead use their vehicles mainly for business trips or holiday travel. Therefore, urban driving restrictions have minimal impact on pickup truck usage. Additionally, pickup trucks offer comfort comparable to sedans and better off-road performance than SUVs, making them more suitable for outdoor activities, which further validates their practicality.

The Difference Between Bentley Red Badge and Black Badge

Here are the differences between Bentley's red badge and black badge: 1. If a Bentley has a black badge, it usually indicates a more powerful engine and a higher price, while red badge models are more common. 2. Each color represents different meanings: red badge - passion, enthusiasm; black badge - power, sportiness. Additional information: 1. Before 1924, all Bentley vehicles were equipped with red badges. Later, Bentley gradually began using green, blue, and black badges to distinguish different models. Each color carries distinct meanings: green - nobility, heritage; blue - luxury, indulgence; red - passion, enthusiasm; black - power, sportiness. 2. The green badge Bentley is now discontinued. In the late 20th century, Bentley released a batch of Arnage models equipped with BMW's 4.4L V8 engines, which featured green badges. The blue 'B' represents the Azure model. Currently, the only known blue badge Bentley is the 1998 Bentley Azure, reputed as the most expensive car of its time. 3. After 2000, green and blue badge Bentleys have not been produced. Today's Bentley models only come with black, red, or gold badges. Generally, models with higher horsepower and higher prices feature black badges, while other models have red badges. However, this isn't an absolute rule. For example, the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 Continental GT3-R produces 580 horsepower and is priced significantly higher than the standard 500-horsepower red badge models.

How to Identify Front-Wheel Drive and Rear-Wheel Drive Cars?

Distinguishing between front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles is straightforward. Simply squat down and check if there is a differential on the rear axle. If the rear axle lacks a differential, it's a front-wheel drive car. If the rear axle has a differential, it could be either a rear-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive vehicle. If the front wheels have half-shafts, it's a four-wheel drive car; if not, it's a rear-wheel drive car. Below are related introductions: 1. Front-engine, Front-wheel Drive (FF): This configuration, where the engine is placed at the front and drives the front wheels (abbreviated as FF), is prevalent in sedans (including mini and economy cars) but is rarely used in trucks and buses. 2. Layout of FF Cars: FF cars typically feature a transversely mounted engine connected to a compact transaxle. This layout is widely used in passenger vehicles with engine displacements below 2.5 liters. 3. Rear-engine, Rear-wheel Drive (RR): In this setup, the engine is placed at the rear and drives the rear wheels (abbreviated as RR). It's a popular arrangement for large and medium-sized buses, and is also used in a few mini or economy cars, but is seldom seen in trucks.
