Is It Normal for a New Car's Engine Bay to Be Very Dirty?
1 Answers
No, it is not normal. If a new car's engine compartment has a significant amount of dust and mud, it may indicate that the vehicle has experienced issues such as flooding, accidents, or refurbishment. Another possibility is that it is a stock vehicle. Below are specific details about stock vehicles: Prone to Moisture and Aging: After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in a new car can easily suffer from moisture and aging if they are not periodically inspected and maintained during prolonged storage. Component Aging: For stock vehicles that have been parked for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many vehicles stored for extended periods also experience issues like lack of oil or battery power.
