Methods to check if a car is from inventory are as follows: 1. Check the production nameplate: Usually, there is a vehicle nameplate at the bottom of the B-pillar on the right side (passenger side) of the vehicle, which indicates the production date of the vehicle, engine parameters, and other information, making it easy to see. 2. Check the glass: The production date of the glass is marked on the car glass, with the number indicating the year and black dots representing the month. If the black dots are in front, subtract the number of dots from 7; if they are at the back, subtract from 13. The result is the month. 3. Check the tires: This may not always be 100% accurate in determining if the car is from inventory, but the production date of the tires can give a rough estimate of the manufacturing time. The four-digit code on the tires indicates the week (first two digits) and the year (last two digits).

How many kilometers can a Volkswagen Magotan run after the engine oil light comes on?

After the engine oil light comes on, a Volkswagen Magotan can run approximately 50 kilometers. Understand the consequences of continuing to drive: If the engine oil light suddenly comes on while driving, it indicates that the oil pressure is below the standard requirement. Continuing to drive may cause the engine to lose lubrication, leading to severe consequences. Understand the reasons for this phenomenon: Under normal driving conditions, the engine requires higher oil pressure at high speeds than at low speeds. If the engine oil is too dirty, such as containing a large amount of carbon deposits, it can easily clog the oil pump filter screen, reducing the oil intake. This can result in no issues at low engine speeds but insufficient oil pressure at high speeds, causing the engine oil light to illuminate.
