There are several main reasons why cars have difficulty starting in winter: 1. Engine oil viscosity issue: The smaller the number before the "W" in the engine oil specification, the better the oil's fluidity in winter. Therefore, it's advisable to switch to oil with better fluidity before winter. 2. Battery problem: Due to extremely low temperatures in northern winters, the battery's capacity may become too low because of the cold environment. When this happens, the battery's activity decreases, resulting in insufficient voltage to start the vehicle, thus causing starting difficulties. 3. Owners should pay more attention to the maintenance of internal engine components during routine servicing, such as replacing spark plugs and ignition coils that have reached their service life. This practice not only helps maintain good vehicle condition but also ensures normal car starting during winter.

What are the causes and solutions for engine overheating in summer?

Let the engine idle for a while, set the air conditioning to the warm air position, turn the air volume to maximum, and open the hood to assist engine heat dissipation. If the coolant is insufficient, it needs to be replenished promptly to prevent the temperature inside the car from rising. If there is no spare coolant, you can temporarily add some mineral water. Check whether the radiator is leaking, and then check whether the fan is stuck and no longer operating for heat dissipation.

Can I Still Drive When the Volkswagen Oil Change Service is Due?

You can still drive when the Volkswagen oil change service is due, but you should replace the engine oil as soon as possible. Expired engine oil is not beneficial for the engine. Engine oil is a highly water-absorbent substance, and over time, it absorbs moisture from the air, leading to degradation and reduced performance. Below are the specific functions of engine oil: Lubrication: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Auxiliary Cooling: While the engine is running, engine oil carries heat back to the oil pan and dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. Sealing and Leak Prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.
