If the vehicle has only been slightly scratched with no deformation or modifications to its appearance, it generally will not affect the registration process. This is because the inspection only involves photographing the vehicle identification number (VIN), engine number, and a full-body photo. However, if the new car is severely damaged, such as deformed front or rear bumpers, it may affect the registration. Documents required for new car registration: the owner's ID card and a copy, a local residence permit for non-local residents, the third copy of the purchase invoice (tax declaration copy), the original and a copy of the vehicle certificate, and for imported vehicles (whether standard imports or parallel imports), customs clearance documents, inspection certificates, and tax declaration forms are also needed. How to deal with scratches on a car: For minor scratches, you can use spray paint or apply a color-changing film for repair. Such repairs generally have minimal impact on the vehicle. For more severe scratches, sheet metal repair may be required. After purchasing a new car, you need to go through several procedures, including purchasing insurance, paying the purchase tax, vehicle inspection, and selecting a license plate number. Among these, purchasing insurance can be done simultaneously during the car purchase process.

What Causes Abnormal Noises in the Engine Compartment?

Engine compartment abnormal noises may be caused by the following reasons: Abnormal noises in the engine compartment while driving could be due to issues like engine valve noise, piston noise, accessory noise, or even transmission noise and chassis noise. Since there are many potential causes of abnormal noises, an accurate diagnosis cannot be made without inspecting the actual vehicle. Additional Information: Sometimes, abnormal noises are heard from the engine while driving, but when the car is stopped for inspection, the noise does not occur even when the engine is running at the same RPM as when the noise was heard. In such cases, you can loosen the carburetor adjustment screw slightly and then restart the engine to see if the noise reappears, which can help identify its characteristics. If the noise still does not occur, you can try cutting off the fuel supply to a specific cylinder and performing a rapid acceleration test. This may help the noise to reappear and also determine the relationship between the noise and the specific cylinder.
