What Causes the Rear Wheels of a Newly Purchased Santana to Overheat and Emit a Burning Smell?
1 Answers
The reasons for the rear wheels of a newly purchased Santana overheating and emitting a burning smell include: high heat generated from friction between the ground and the tires, causing the tire rubber to heat up and produce an odor; or heat generated from friction between the wheel hub or brake pads during braking, causing the rubber to emit a smell. Below is some relevant information: 1. Exterior: The new Santana completely abandons the boxy design of the 1970s seen in the old model, replacing it with a more modern and stylish dynamic appearance, which now features the latest design language of the Volkswagen family. 2. Powertrain: The new Santana is equipped with EA211 series engines available in 1.4L and 1.6L displacements. Among these, the 1.4L engine delivers a maximum power of 66kW, while the 1.6L engine offers a maximum power of 81kW. Both engines utilize a lighter all-aluminum structure.
