Yes, a temporary license plate is only for temporary road use and does not require a vehicle registration certificate. You only need to bring the documents provided by the 4S store and the compulsory insurance policy to apply for a temporary plate. The official license plate is not obtained by exchanging the temporary one; instead, you need to go to the vehicle management office to select a number, which is unrelated to the temporary plate. When applying for the official license plate, you also need to obtain a vehicle registration certificate, which requires a photo of the car and an imprint of the vehicle identification number. Therefore, you must drive the car that needs the official license plate to the local vehicle management office. The official license plate usually takes three to five working days to be issued. Below is an introduction to license plates: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the number plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as identifiers and registration records for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to indicate the vehicle's region of registration and allow authorities to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate number.

Is it acceptable not to display the official license plate when the temporary one hasn't expired?

No. 1. Explanation: Temporary license plates are for temporary use before obtaining official ones. Once official plates are received, the vehicle must be driven under its official registration. Temporary plates become invalid upon receiving official ones, regardless of their expiration status. Therefore, vehicle owners must install the official plates immediately upon receipt. 2. Maximum duration of temporary plates: For new vehicles purchased by general consumers for temporary use within the same administrative region, temporary plates are issued with a validity period not exceeding 15 days; for temporary use across administrative regions, the validity period does not exceed 30 days.

What is the Difference Between Clean Gasoline and Regular Gasoline?

Below are the differences between clean gasoline and regular gasoline: 1. Different usage effects: China has completely banned the production and sale of leaded gasoline since 2000, and now all gasoline sold on the market is unleaded gasoline for vehicles. Compared with clean gasoline, unleaded gasoline for vehicles has significant differences in usage effects. Using clean gasoline can reduce the formation of deposits in the fuel injector, intake valve, and combustion chamber. 2. Different internal structural components: To strictly control the content of olefins, benzene, aromatics, sulfur, and oxygen-containing compounds in unleaded gasoline, an effective gasoline "detergent" must be added to dissolve and clean the deposits in the fuel system. 3. Different environmental effects between clean gasoline and unleaded gasoline for vehicles: Clean gasoline for vehicles not only significantly improves the combustion emissions of cars but also has obvious benefits for protecting the atmospheric environment. Moreover, it can keep the combustion system, especially the fuel lines, injectors, and intake valves, clean. If there are deposits in the fuel system, such as the fuel lines, injectors, or intake valves, they can also be dissolved and cleaned by clean gasoline for vehicles.

Why does the Skoda Octavia make a humming noise when running?

The reasons why the Skoda Octavia makes a humming noise when running include leaks in the engine's intake pipe or improper installation of the air filter. Here are specific details about the Skoda Octavia: 1. Do not tamper with major components: Complex parts like the engine and transmission have strict parameter requirements during assembly, and some brands even assemble important components in an absolutely dust-free cold environment. As long as the owner follows the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines and avoids aggressive driving or deliberate damage to the car, these components generally won't malfunction until reaching a certain mileage. 2. Use reliable parts: When repairing the car, always choose parts with quality assurance. Many repair shops, including some 4S shops, may clean and reuse old parts, passing them off as new, or even use unqualified components, which can leave hidden dangers for the car. Therefore, during repairs, pay attention to the replacement of parts to ensure the mechanic can properly fix the car.

Will the loss of the small iron block on the wheel hub have any impact?

Yes, it will have an impact. You should redo the tire's dynamic balance. The small iron block is used for balancing. Otherwise, the car may become unstable when driving, the tire noise may increase, and the steering wheel might shake when driving at high speeds. 1. The role of the balancing weight: The small iron block on the car wheel hub is a balancing weight installed on the wheel to maintain dynamic balance during high-speed rotation. 2. Principle: Any object has uneven mass distribution in different parts. Under static or low-speed rotation, this unevenness affects the stability of the object's rotation. The higher the speed, the greater the vibration. The balancing weight helps to minimize the mass difference of the wheel to achieve a relatively balanced state.
