There are reasons why a new car makes a clicking sound. Quality Factors: Depending on the car model, the noise in a new car may be due to quality issues, assembly process problems, material defects, or mechanical failures. Human Factors: Improper operation, such as inaccurate gear shifting or incomplete clutch engagement, can cause significant noise while driving a new car. Internal Vehicle Factors: The noise in a new car might be due to issues with the engine mounts; if the oil dipstick is not tightened after checking the engine oil, or if the coolant cap is not properly secured after refilling, it can also cause noise. Fuel system malfunctions, such as water molecules seeping into the fuel system due to prolonged outdoor parking, can lead to noise. Solution: If there is noise from the car doors, it is best to have it inspected at a 4S shop to determine whether it is a quality issue or an engine malfunction.

Is it normal for a car engine to get very hot in summer?

It is not normal for a car engine to get very hot in summer. Here are the reasons why the engine gets very hot: 1. Severe lack of coolant: If the owner does not promptly check and add coolant, it can easily lead to engine overheating, which may be caused by leaks in the radiator pipes and a severe lack of coolant. 2. Water pump failure: After the water pump fails, the water that conducts heat from the engine cannot circulate and renew in time. Then, after driving for a while, the water temperature will rise rapidly, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate. 3. Cooling fan failure: Damage to the cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can cause the fan to malfunction or operate at a slow speed, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating. This leads to an increase in engine temperature, and upon opening the engine compartment, a significant amount of heat can naturally be felt.
