Yes, provided that the license plate has been used on the original vehicle for more than one year. Plates used for less than one year cannot be retained. Additional details are as follows: 1. Starting from June 1, 2019, if an individual owns two or more vehicles, the license plates of these vehicles can be swapped. The prerequisite is that the vehicles involved in the swap must be non-commercial vehicles, and the application must be submitted one month in advance. 2. Conditions for applying to retain the original license plate: 1) The license plate must have been used on the original vehicle for at least one year; 2) The application to retain the original license plate must be submitted within one year after the transfer or deregistration of the vehicle (the retention period is only one year); 3) All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved; 4) The original license plate can only be retained and used by the original owner, and it can be used on either a new car or a used car.

Is the CVT transmission of the ninth-generation Accord durable?

At the level of family car usage, the CVT transmission can last approximately 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Among the various types of transmissions such as CVT, AT, and dual-clutch transmissions, the CVT transmission offers better stability. Below is a detailed introduction to the CVT transmission: 1. Overview: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission. The difference between a CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, thereby achieving good fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving, while also reducing emissions and costs. 2. Working Principle: The system mainly includes basic components such as the driving pulley set, driven pulley set, metal belt, and hydraulic pump. It primarily operates by connecting the engine shaft to a small pulley, which drives a larger pulley via a steel belt.

How to Save Fuel with a 6-Speed Automatic Transmission?

Fuel-saving methods for 6-speed automatic transmission: 1. When driving in the city at speeds below 40 km/h: The driver should use manual mode. In manual mode, the transmission and engine are directly connected, providing more direct power transmission and better fuel efficiency. 2. Avoid heavy acceleration when starting: Since starting is the most fuel-consuming part of the driving cycle, gradual acceleration helps save fuel. 3. When using cruise control on the highway: The driver can switch to manual mode. The rigid connection of the transmission will significantly improve transmission efficiency. 4. Replace tires with low rolling resistance: Low rolling resistance tires have better fuel-saving capabilities and can save some fuel. 5. Avoid carrying excessively heavy items in the car: Vehicle weight affects fuel consumption. 6. Avoid sudden braking: In the city, try to avoid sudden braking; allowing the vehicle to coast earlier can save a significant amount of fuel.

What Causes the Jetta Engine Warning Light to Illuminate?

The engine warning light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor Malfunction: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors can cause the engine warning light to turn on if they are damaged, have poor connections, or interrupted signals. This prevents the car's ECU from accurately obtaining engine data. Fuel or Oil Quality Issues: Failure to use the fuel or oil specified by the manufacturer may lead to engine wear, triggering the warning light. Poor Combustion of Air-Fuel Mixture: Issues like engine carbon buildup or knocking, detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, can cause the warning light to illuminate. Problems such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines may result in poor combustion. Turbocharger Issues: The intake boost piping or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake Problems: Clogged engine pipes due to intake issues can trigger the warning light. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can lead to intake problems. Exhaust Issues: Exhaust system faults, such as problems with the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings, can cause the warning light to illuminate. The catalytic converter is the most common culprit, often affected by leaded gasoline, lead/silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage, or fuel system issues. Anti-Theft System Malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller doesn't match the engine ECU, the engine may not function properly, and the warning light may turn on. If the engine warning light illuminates, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally. If there is shaking, black smoke, or other issues, avoid restarting the engine—especially if the light is red. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button or turn the key halfway to the 'ON' position (without engaging the clutch). The car will enter self-test mode. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. Technicians can use a diagnostic tool to read fault codes and perform targeted repairs.
