It is caused by fuel quality issues, coolant problems, and carbon buildup. Fuel quality issues: Opening the fuel tank may reveal water and sludge. Therefore, it is advised to always refuel at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze wrapped around the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners use water or low-quality antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions. This can lead to the engine cracking, preventing the car's water pump from functioning, making it impossible to start the engine, and damaging other engine components. Carbon buildup issues: Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent the engine from starting. A solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to reduce carbon deposits. Additionally, there is a small trick for starting the engine: before turning the key to start, first turn it to the ON position, then back, and then to the START position to ignite. This allows the computer to calculate the water temperature and the appropriate air intake, making the ignition smoother.

Why can a 50-liter fuel tank hold 55 liters of fuel?

The standard capacity of a car's fuel tank does not equal its actual capacity. Here are some relevant details: 1. Safety considerations: Since gasoline is volatile and expandable, for safety reasons, fuel tanks are designed to be 5%-10% larger than their standard capacity. This is why sometimes the fuel dispenser may show a higher volume than the theoretical tank capacity when refueling. However, for safety, it's advisable not to fill the tank to the brim. 2. Fuel tank types: Fuel tanks can be divided into open and closed types. A fuel tank must have sufficient volume; the suction and return pipes should be inserted below the minimum liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing that may create bubbles. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover with an air filter. Adequate attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the tank's inner surface.

Will restarting the engine after driving through water cause damage?

Restarting the engine after driving through water can cause damage. If the car stalls after driving through water and water enters the engine, forcibly restarting the engine can lead to bending of the engine connecting rods. Bent connecting rods can damage the engine block and crankshaft, causing significant harm to the engine, and in severe cases, may result in the engine being scrapped. Below is more information about driving through water: Reasons for stalling when driving through water: The high-voltage ignition system may become damp or short-circuited due to water ingress, causing the engine to stall. This is a common occurrence, usually caused by splashing water. Water entering the exhaust pipe can also cause stalling, as the exhaust pipe is positioned low, and if the water level rises above it, the engine cannot expel exhaust gases and stalls. What to do if the car stalls after driving through water: Do not attempt to restart the engine if the car stalls after driving through water, as this can cause severe damage or even total engine failure. Stay calm, turn off the ignition immediately, and avoid trying to start the engine. The car should be towed to a repair shop promptly to prevent further damage. After driving through water, it's advisable to check the engine compartment, air intake, wheels, brake discs, exhaust pipe, and carbon canister for any debris that might affect driving safety.

Will spraying alcohol in the car cause a fire?

Spraying alcohol in the car can cause a fire, but the probability is very low. The ignition point of alcohol is only 20 degrees Celsius. If the temperature inside the car is too high, it may cause combustion. Therefore, it is best not to leave alcohol in the car. If disinfection is needed, you can find an open area to wipe the interior with alcohol and ensure proper ventilation inside the car for a period of time. Here are items that should not be left in the car: Flammable and explosive items: Never leave them in the trunk, such as lighters, fireworks, etc. If the car body temperature rises too high or comes into contact with an ignition source, the consequences can be severe. If caught by traffic police, you may also face fines and penalty points. Perfume: Perfume is chemically processed under specific conditions. In high temperatures, these chemical substances can easily volatilize and may even harm the human body. Additionally, direct sunlight can cause explosions. Reading glasses: Reading glasses are convex lenses that can focus light. Prolonged focusing of light can lead to excessively high temperatures at the focal point, potentially damaging the car's plastic trim and even causing the vehicle to self-ignite.

What is the reason for the Sonata 9 not moving when shifted into reverse gear?

Sonata 9 not moving when shifted into reverse gear is due to a faulty gear position sensor. Below is an introduction to the gear position sensor: 1. Working Principle: The gear position sensor, also known as the gear switch sensor, is used to detect gear signals. The gear position sensor has multiple contacts. When the car shifts gears, the contacts move to the corresponding gear position, changing the voltage value. The gear position sensor detects the gear shift signal and transmits it to the transmission computer, thereby controlling the corresponding actuators to operate. 2. Symptoms of Failure: When the gear position sensor fails, the car's dashboard may not display the correct gear position, the vehicle may fail to start, the car may not shift gears normally with jerky upshifts and downshifts, and the car may also experience weak acceleration accompanied by shaking.

How to Use the S Gear in Volkswagen?

Volkswagen's S gear is used by simply pushing the gear lever to the S position. The S gear refers to the car's sport mode, which means high RPM, high torque, and low power. During acceleration, the car relies on high torque. After engaging the sport mode, the engine's RPM increases, and the torque also increases, thereby enhancing the car's acceleration. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc as an example, it is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4318mm, width 1819mm, height 1582mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 51L, and curb weight 1385kg.
