You should wash your car before applying window tint. If the car body is not clean, bumps will appear after the tint is applied, which not only affects the appearance of the car but also makes the raised areas prone to damage. Car window tinting involves applying a thin film to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. This film is also known as solar film or heat insulation film. The primary functions of car window tinting are to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat, prevent injuries caused by shattered glass, and reduce glare. Additionally, the one-way transparency feature of the solar film helps protect personal privacy. Furthermore, it can minimize damage to interior items and passengers caused by UV exposure, lower the interior temperature through physical reflection, and reduce the use of car air conditioning.

Why is the engine hood temperature high?

This is a normal situation. The engine temperature inside the hood is very high, especially after the cooling fan operates, which can easily make the engine hood hot. During hot weather, installing a layer of heat insulation material on the hood can significantly improve the situation. Different design standards: Each vehicle's engine has different design standards for normal operating temperature, but most vehicles' engines operate normally between 90-100 degrees Celsius. Additional information: 1. Replace the coolant: Generally, the engine coolant is replaced based on mileage or time. 2. Reason: It is difficult to determine the degree of deterioration visually. The coolant may appear unchanged, but its internal anti-corrosion properties degrade, which can damage the radiator, pipes, hoses, etc.

Can I still drive if the coolant warning light comes on in my Volkswagen?

It is best not to continue driving. Detailed analysis is as follows: 1. Insufficient coolant: If the warning is due to insufficient coolant, you should not continue driving. If you do not have coolant available for immediate replenishment, you can add an appropriate amount of purified water, preferably soft water, such as distilled water. However, do not use hard water like tap water, and do not add too much, as it may alter the boiling point of the coolant. 2. Overheating: If the warning is due to overheating, you must not continue driving. Continuing to drive may cause the engine temperature to rise further, leading to engine damage. To avoid unnecessary losses and for safety reasons, you should not continue driving.
