Specific reasons why a car overheats after just a few minutes of driving: 1. Radiator leakage or insufficient coolant: This prevents the engine heat from dissipating, ultimately causing the temperature to rise without timely reduction. 2. Deteriorated coolant: The boiling point parameter decreases, affecting the cooling efficiency; or the anti-rust quality degrades, causing blockages in the radiator circulation channels. 3. Faulty radiator components: High temperatures and overloaded air conditioning operation lead to engine overheating. 4. Electric fan malfunction: Results in insufficient fan speed or damaged fan shrouds, causing severe air leakage.

Why does an Audi shake when parked?

Audi shaking when parked can be caused by severe engine carbon buildup, ignition system failure, or oil pressure issues. Detailed explanations of the causes: Severe engine carbon buildup: Engine carbon buildup is the main cause of car shaking. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the fuel injector during a cold start is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making the car prone to shaking. Ignition system failure: Excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs or overly large ignition gaps can cause ignition failure. Oil pressure issues: Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can lead to poor fuel pump performance, causing the car body to shake.
