In the case of oil seal leakage without disassembly, sealant can be used for temporary sealing, but oil seal leakage will accelerate oil consumption. It is recommended to replace the new oil seal as soon as possible, and always pay attention to the position and state of the self-tightening spring. Automobile fluid leakage is common after the vehicle has been stationary for a long time, especially in winter. The more the car drains, the more fully the oil burns, and the better the vehicle's power.

I've also encountered oil seal leaks before, like engine oil seals aging and causing lubricant to seep out. If you don't want to disassemble for repairs, you can try emergency methods: clean the leaking area and apply a special sealant or spray a leak stopper, which can temporarily fill small cracks. Last time, I applied some silicone-based sealing paste to the leak point, waited for it to dry for half an hour, and the leakage reduced significantly. But remember, this is just a temporary fix. Over time, oil buildup might make it worse. Check the oil level regularly to avoid engine damage from low oil. It's best to go to a repair shop as soon as possible to replace the new oil seal—safe and worry-free.

After driving for so many years, oil seal leaks are quite common. If you don't want to take things apart, my method is to pour a liquid sealant into the oil. For example, if the engine oil seal is leaking, add a bottle of repair agent and drive for about ten kilometers—sometimes it can seal minor leaks. But don't get your hopes up too high; leaks often stem from wear and tear or installation issues, and temporary fixes might mask serious hidden dangers. When I was younger, I tried to cut corners, and the leak spread, eventually burning out the transmission, costing me a fortune to repair. I recommend checking for oil stains periodically. If there's serious seepage, it's best to stop using the vehicle to avoid trouble on the road.

Hey, I've also struggled with oil seal leaks. If you don't want to go through the hassle of dismantling the car, you can buy a high-quality leak-stop spray on an e-commerce platform and spray it directly on the leak point. It can quickly form a protective film and is somewhat effective for minor issues. However, make sure to choose a genuine product, as counterfeit ones can easily clog oil passages and make things worse. Also, check if the bolts are loose. Last time I tried tightening a few, and it temporarily stopped a minor leak. It's a viable emergency solution, but don't use additives too frequently to avoid oil degradation affecting the engine. If you want a hassle-free solution, sending it for repair is more reliable.

Can the Volkswagen Tiguan use 92-octane gasoline?

Only the 1.8T Volkswagen Tiguan can use 92-octane gasoline. Below is an introduction to the relationship between gasoline and the engine, as well as precautions for refueling: Relationship between gasoline and the engine: Essentially, it is related to the engine's compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the greater the power and efficiency, but the stability is poorer, so gasoline with higher anti-knock properties is required. If the compression ratio is not high enough, using higher-octane gasoline will not provide any significant benefit in terms of power, at most offering slight improvements in cleanliness and lower carbon emissions. Refueling precautions: While driving, always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the indicator shows one-quarter of the fuel remaining, you should refuel. It is best not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. Modern vehicles use electric fuel pumps, which rely on gasoline for lubrication and cooling. Frequently waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel can prevent the fuel pump from receiving adequate lubrication and cooling, ultimately reducing its lifespan. Additionally, if the fuel tank remains empty for too long, the temperature difference between the inside and outside can cause moisture to form inside the tank, leading to corrosion of the tank, deterioration of fuel quality, and increased burden on the engine.
