The Volkswagen GTI is a high-performance hatchback under the Volkswagen brand, typically referring to the Golf GTI. I've been a car enthusiast since childhood and believe its charm lies in pioneering the "hot hatch" trend when it debuted in 1976, transforming the ordinary Golf into a driving machine—balancing everyday practicality with track potential. It delivers punchy yet not excessive power, making it perfect for weekend drives or commutes for office workers like me in their 30s. Its spacious interior can handle family luggage, and fuel consumption remains reasonable. The eighth-generation model adds a digital cockpit and smart assistance, but that fiery spirit remains intact—no wonder it has been globally popular for decades, even thriving in the used car market.

Why is there a smell of gasoline inside the car?

The reason for the smell of gasoline inside the car may be due to aging components. Explanation of the reasons: When rubber hoses age, gasoline may leak into the engine compartment, and the air conditioning system can carry the smell into the car. Gasoline pipe interface leakage: Gasoline pipe leaks usually occur at the interfaces between pipes. You can visually inspect by opening the engine compartment cover. If there is a leak at the interface, dust will accumulate on the surface over time, forming oily sludge. After disassembling the fuel pump: The work of disassembling the fuel pump needs to be done inside the car, and some spillage is inevitable during this process. However, the replacement cycle of the fuel pump is generally around 100,000 kilometers, so this situation is not common. Overfilling the gasoline tank: Although the fuel filler neck is not leaking, gasoline can flow into the carbon canister through the pipes. When the carbon canister releases vapor, it may also release gasoline. If the air conditioning is in the external circulation mode at this time, the smell of gasoline may be noticeable inside the car. Solutions: Set the air conditioning to internal circulation mode. After driving for a while, the gasoline will naturally be consumed, and the smell will gradually disappear.

Can I Claim Insurance If My Car Breaks Down?

Only having compulsory traffic insurance does not qualify for a claim, but if you have purchased vehicle damage insurance (commercial insurance), you can file a claim. Vehicle insurance can be divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is cheaper and mandatory, while commercial insurance is more expensive but covers a wider range of accidents and expenses. Compulsory traffic insurance, officially known as Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Compulsory Insurance, is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Therefore, if your car is damaged in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will not provide compensation. Vehicle damage insurance covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the insurance coverage. If you damage your car by driving it yourself, vehicle damage insurance can provide compensation as it falls under accidental damage. In the event of a traffic accident, the car owner should take photos for evidence and report the incident to the insurance company. If the accident is not reported within 48 hours, the insurance company will not provide compensation.
