It is normal for water to drip from a car's exhaust pipe. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Exhaust gases: The car engine draws in air and atomized gasoline, which is then ignited by the spark plug to perform work. After complete combustion, the combustible gases become exhaust gases. The main components of exhaust gases are carbon dioxide and water vapor. 2. When the exhaust temperature is high: The exhaust temperature from a car's exhaust pipe is very high, while the ambient temperature is relatively low. When the water vapor in the exhaust gases encounters the low external temperature, it condenses into small water droplets. 3. When the car has just started: The entire exhaust pipe is in a cold state, and the small water droplets formed by the condensation of water vapor accumulate in the exhaust muffler, forming water accumulation. When the accumulated water reaches a certain level, water can be seen spraying out from the exhaust pipe opening. In fact, this indicates that the engine's combustion is in good condition and operating normally.

Reasons Why the Volkswagen Lamando Fails to Start

Reasons why the Volkswagen Lamando fails to start: 1. The starter motor is damaged, preventing the vehicle from starting. We can identify this by listening for sounds. If a hissing sound is heard from the starter compartment, it indicates the starter is working. If there is no sound, it may mean the starter itself is damaged. 2. First, check if the battery voltage is sufficient. Insufficient battery voltage will prevent the vehicle from starting. 3. The fuel pump may be damaged due to prolonged use, leading to a failure in supplying fuel and preventing the vehicle from starting. 4. The vehicle cannot be started if the gear is in D (Drive) position. This is a self-protection mechanism of the car to prevent it from lurching forward after ignition. 5. The timing belt or timing chain of the car engine may have skipped teeth, causing the valves to be pressed and resulting in no cylinder pressure, which prevents the car from starting normally.
