Driving a car continuously for 12 hours can have certain impacts on the engine's endurance. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Prolonged driving can cause some damage to the vehicle, and the failure of certain parts may pose significant safety hazards. 2. Cooling system damage: The first is the car's cooling system. When the engine operates under prolonged high-intensity conditions, the temperature will continuously rise, causing irreversible damage to the cooling system. Once the cooling system is compromised, the engine's high temperature cannot be dissipated, potentially leading to overheating, cylinder explosion, or internal part fractures, resulting in the car stopping. 3. Engine oil leakage: Extended driving can also cause engine oil leakage, leading to significant oil consumption, commonly referred to as 'burning oil.' When the engine temperature is excessively high and oil leakage is severe, the high temperature can ignite the oil, causing the engine to spontaneously combust, which can seriously endanger driving safety. Engine overheating can also affect performance, causing a significant drop in power and severely diminished performance.

Why is there a burning smell when turning on the heater?

There may be a burning smell when turning on the heater due to aging air conditioning wiring, heated components, or blocked air vents. Aging air conditioning wiring: The air conditioning wiring may have aged, or the heating element may be malfunctioning, causing it to overheat. Heated components: There are many plastic and rubber components in the engine compartment. When the engine temperature rises, these plastic components may heat up and emit a burning smell. Blocked air vents: Blocked air vents prevent hot air from entering the cabin, causing the plastic inside the air conditioning system to overheat and emit a burning smell.
