Adding too much engine oil can have the following impacts on the vehicle: 1. Carbon buildup and fuel injector clogging: This may cause blue smoke from the engine exhaust pipe, carbon deposits in the cylinders, accelerated wear of piston rings, and carbon accumulation on fuel injectors, reducing cylinder efficiency. It may also lead to piston ring seizure or fuel injector blockage. 2. Oil leakage: Excessive oil increases the risk of crankcase explosion and oil leaks. Methods to remove excess engine oil: Some oil can be drained from the oil pan drain plug, but this should only be done after the engine has cooled down. Alternatively, use a syringe with medical tubing to extract the excess oil. The normal oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick.

How to Deal with the Noise from the Sunroof of the Tiguan?

Tiguan sunroof noise should be divided into two states: when the car is moving and when the car is stationary. Here are the details: 1. When the car is stationary, if there is noise when opening or closing the sunroof, the main problem lies with the sunroof itself. It may be due to insufficient lubricant on the sunroof slide rails or dust and other foreign objects on the rails. In this case, regular maintenance and inspection of the sunroof slide rails are necessary to keep them clean and lubricated. 2. When the car is moving, if there is noise with the sunroof closed, it may be caused by loose bolts securing the sunroof to the car body. In this case, simply tightening the bolts will resolve the issue.
