Check if the engine is burning oil by the following methods: Cold engine oil burning: When starting the car for the first time in the morning, thick blue smoke will be emitted from the rear exhaust pipe. After a while, the blue smoke disappears, and generally, no similar situation will occur that day. However, the same problem will reappear the next morning, with no blue smoke produced under other conditions. If your car exhibits this symptom, it indicates cold engine oil burning. Oil burning during acceleration: When the driver sharply presses the accelerator while driving or idling, a large amount of blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe. In severe cases, the driver can even see the blue smoke from the side mirror of the exhaust pipe after sharply pressing the accelerator while driving. Oil burning under any circumstances: This situation indicates that the engine is severely worn and requires an engine overhaul. If not repaired in time, it may lead to serious potential hazards.

What car is GENESIS?

Why is the Magotan's air conditioner not blowing hot air?

The reasons why the Magotan's air conditioner is not blowing hot air include: 1. The valve of the heater water pipe and the heater core are clogged; 2. The thermostat is stuck open or opens too early, causing the cooling system to circulate prematurely. In low external temperatures, the cold air cools the antifreeze, preventing the engine water temperature from rising; 3. The water pump impeller is damaged or slipping, resulting in insufficient flow through the heater core; 4. There is an airlock in the engine cooling system, which causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and insufficient heating. The car air conditioner can adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the vehicle cabin to the optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue. The car air conditioner generally includes a refrigeration device, a heating device, and a ventilation device.
