The reasons for the smell of burning oil inside the car include aging of the charcoal canister rubber hose and overfilling of gasoline. Aging of the charcoal canister rubber hose: This rubber hose, which connects the charcoal canister to the throttle body, gradually ages with increased mileage. Aging can cause gasoline vapor leaks, resulting in a persistent gasoline smell inside the car. Overfilling of gasoline: Gasoline may flow into the charcoal canister through the fuel line. The charcoal canister is designed to absorb gasoline vapors, but when soaked with gasoline, it may excessively release gasoline vapors through the vent, especially when the air conditioning is in external circulation mode, making the gasoline smell particularly strong.

Can You Turn On the Air Conditioning When the Car Is Parked?

Generally, you can turn on the air conditioning when the car is parked, but it should not be left on for too long, preferably around 15 minutes. Here are some relevant points about using air conditioning while parked: 1. Disadvantages of using air conditioning while parked: In a relatively enclosed environment, such as in a garage, it may lead to carbon dioxide poisoning. It's best to use the air conditioning in open or well-ventilated areas and leave a small gap in the window. 2. Interior temperature: Normally, the temperature inside the car should be about 5°C to 6°C different from the outside temperature. Therefore, when adjusting the temperature, it's advisable for the owner to compare it with the outdoor temperature before making adjustments.

How many hours does it take for car paint to dry completely in summer?

Car paint takes about three hours to dry completely in summer. Here is some related information about car painting: 1. Car painting repair: It usually takes a day. If the scratches are not severe, a quick spray method can be used, which takes 3-4 hours, allowing you to pick up your car in the morning or afternoon. If the painting is done at a repair shop, the lack of formal procedures can save a significant amount of time, completing the job in 2-3 hours. 2. Checking the smoothness of the paint surface: For some car owners, if they go to a low-quality repair shop, after bodywork and painting, the entire car's paint surface may be uneven, and there may be issues like pinholes or impurities on the paint surface. In severe cases, paint runs may even occur. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners choose a guaranteed 4S shop or repair shop when getting their car painted.

What are the causes and solutions for sunroof leakage in the Tiguan?

Tiguan sunroof leakage can be attributed to three main causes: 1. Blockage of the sunroof drainage outlets by debris, preventing rainwater from draining and causing it to seep into the vehicle interior. 2. Damage to the sunroof sealing strip, resulting in poor edge sealing and allowing rainwater to enter the cabin. 3. Gaps in the Tiguan's sunroof frame, leading to rainwater infiltration. Solutions for Tiguan sunroof leakage are as follows: 1. Pour some water into the sunroof drainage channel and check if water flows out under the front tires. If water flows out, it indicates the drainage outlets are clear; use a towel to clean the outlets thoroughly to ensure proper rainwater drainage to the ground. 2. If the sunroof sealing strip is damaged, replace it with a new one. Remove the front and rear sealing strips of the sunroof glass, then carefully adhere the new strip along the perimeter of the vehicle's edges.
