Reasons for the failure of Volkswagen's start-stop function include the seat belt not being fastened; the driver's door not being closed; the battery temperature being too high or too low; the vehicle being on a steep slope; the cabin being heated or cooled and not yet reaching an acceptable temperature; the HVAC system being set to full defrost mode with the blower at high speed; the engine not yet reaching normal operating temperature, or the transmission not being in forward gear. Below is an expanded introduction: 1. Introduction to the start-stop system: The start-stop system, translated as the Start-Stop system in English, is when the vehicle is in a stopped state (not in park), the engine will pause operation (instead of maintaining traditional idle speed). During this pause, the lubricating oil inside the engine continues to circulate, keeping the engine internally lubricated. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will start again. 2. Advantages of the start-stop system: Because the lubricating oil keeps circulating, even with frequent stops and starts, it will not cause wear to the internal parts of the engine.

Will the Engine Get Flooded If the Car Is Parked by the Roadside and Submerged?

If a car is parked outdoors during heavy rain, it generally won't get flooded. However, if the water level rises above half of the tires, the engine may take in water. Here's an introduction to the impacts of car flooding: Interior Effects: Prolonged soaking can cause materials like carpets and seats to deform, become rough, and produce odors, leading to bacterial growth. Moisture accumulation in the wiring harness beneath the carpets may result in short circuits due to dampness. It's advisable to replace all soaked components to avoid long-term water damage effects. Door Panel Effects: The soundproofing material inside door panels needs replacement after flooding. The four-wheel bearings must also be replaced because their seals contain lubricating grease. If not replaced, the grease can corrode and deteriorate, losing its lubricating properties and compromising driving safety.

What Causes the Noise from the Right Rear Wheel of the Car?

Noise from the right rear wheel of the car is an issue with the suspension system. Here is an introduction to suspension-related content: Check if the springs are aged: The owner can inspect whether the upper and lower pads of the springs have aged, causing the springs to collide with metal supports and produce noise. Also, check the aging level of the rubber components at the connection points of various suspension links. Additionally, inspect whether the rear shock absorbers are leaking oil. If there is oil leakage from the shock absorbers, they can no longer function effectively. Check the shock absorber screws: See if the rubber sleeves of the upper and lower fixing screws are loose. If they are, they need to be replaced or secured firmly. Inspect the screws of the chassis, rear axle, and tires for looseness, and tighten all screws that may cause noise. If the dust cover has hardened and elongated, causing noise due to friction, the excess part of the dust cover should be trimmed off.

Who to Contact When a Tree Falls on Your Car by the Roadside?

If your car is damaged by a falling tree, you should contact the relevant authorities for resolution. Below is an introduction to the relevant procedures when your car is hit by a tree: Contact the parking lot management: If your car is indeed damaged by a falling tree, the first thing you should do is contact the parking lot's management.

Tree falls are considered natural disasters, so if you contact your insurance company and they determine that the damage meets the compensation criteria, the insurance company will cover all repair costs, and you won't have to pay out of pocket.
