After replacing the catalytic converter with an aftermarket one, the increased noise during acceleration is due to the poor quality of the catalytic converter. Here is some information about catalytic converters: 1. Once the catalytic converter is damaged, the most obvious symptom is a very pungent odor from the exhaust, as harmful substances like sulfur dioxide cannot be filtered. Most importantly, this causes irreversible pollution to the air. Therefore, if any abnormalities are noticed, the catalytic converter should be inspected promptly to determine whether it is clogged or damaged. 2. For vehicles driven in urban areas, due to poor fuel quality and traffic congestion, the lifespan of the catalytic converter tends to be shorter, and it is prone to clogging. These issues can directly affect the proper functioning of the oxygen sensor, leading to inaccurate control of fuel injection, air intake, and ignition, which in turn increases fuel consumption.

Is Volkswagen's Oil Burning Problem Serious?

Volkswagen engines burning oil is caused by issues with internal engine components, which is a relatively serious problem. Valve Stem Seals: The valves are essentially designed to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber. However, over time, they can become worn or aged. Severe cases can affect the valve's sealing performance, making oil burning very likely to occur. Excessive Piston Clearance: When a car has been in use for an extended period, incomplete combustion can lead to carbon deposits adhering to the piston rings. If not cleaned for a long time, this can cause the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall to widen, allowing oil to flow into the combustion chamber and resulting in oil burning. In severe cases, it can even lead to engine seizure.

Throttle cable issue: If the engine RPM doesn't increase when stepping on the accelerator, it means no fuel is being injected, which could be due to a fuel supply system problem or a throttle cable issue.

Can Paint Protection Film Be Polished?

No, because the surface layer of the paint protection film has a self-healing coating that can automatically repair scratches. Minor scratches that are hard to avoid during normal vehicle use can quickly disappear without leaving marks under sunlight or with the car's own temperature, so polishing is not necessary to remove scratches. Here is some relevant information: 1. Benefits of car covers: Car covers can protect against wind and sand, rain and snow, prevent exposure to the sun in summer, lower the interior temperature, and protect the paint. 2. Drawbacks of car covers: The inner side of the car cover is made of flocked material. If there is fine dust on the vehicle's surface, the cover can act like sandpaper under the wind, rubbing against the paint surface from all angles. Although it may not be noticeable at first glance, under strong light, the scratches on the paint surface can become very obvious.
