Why is the Magotan so noisy?

[Daniel]

The reasons for the excessive noise in the Magotan are: 1. Engine carbon buildup; 2. Shock absorber failure; 3. Large gaps in the cabin or vehicle body; 4. Tire aging; 5. Internal damage to the valve guide; 6. Cooling system failure; 7. Poor oil quality; 8. Engine misfire; 9. Spark plug carbon buildup. The Magotan is a mid-size car under the FAW-Volkswagen brand, with body dimensions of 4865 mm in length, 1832 mm in width, 1471 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871 mm. The Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

My Magotan's noise issue is quite a headache as well. Common causes include engine aging, tire wear, or excessive wind noise. As someone with over a decade of driving experience, I've found that accumulated dust in the engine compartment or insufficient fluids can cause additional noises; low tire pressure or edge wear increases road noise; at high speeds, wind noise mainly comes from aging door seals or loose windows, with damaged sealing strips being the most noticeable; loose or damaged suspension components like shock absorbers will rattle over bumpy roads. A simple diagnostic method is to first check tire pressure and identify the noise source—whether near the engine or under the chassis. Excessive noise not only affects driving comfort but also distracts you, posing significant safety risks. Avoid DIY fixes—visit a professional shop promptly for diagnosis and part replacements, such as new tires or tightened components. These are cost-effective solutions with quick results, and regular maintenance can prevent such issues. In short, start with basic checks—don’t overlook minor problems that could become major hazards.

As a young car enthusiast who loves driving, when my Magotan starts making more noise, I look for reasons from both driving habits and maintenance perspectives. Choosing tires that are too hard or severely worn is a common culprit—I’ve experienced a significant noise reduction after switching to new tires. Aging suspension components like shock absorbers or loose linkages can cause annoying rattles on bumpy roads. A loose engine belt or improper oil viscosity can also increase noise. Wind noise becomes obvious at high speeds with windows down, but adding sealing strips can help. I recommend doing some DIY checks: remove debris from tires, tighten screws, or ask a technician during maintenance. Noise isn’t just annoying—it affects driving performance, especially on long trips, making them exhausting. Addressing issues early saves hassle and money; upgrading to quality parts often solves the problem—don’t let small issues become major ones. I always emphasize timely maintenance—taking care of small things ensures a smoother, more enjoyable ride.

I usually drive my family around, and the loud noise in the Magotan greatly affects the quietness inside the car. Common sources include incorrect tire pressure or aging tires, where noise fluctuates with speed; a dirty engine with carbon buildup can also cause noise; loose parts under the car may produce strange sounds. As a family car user, safety comes first—noise can be distracting and dangerous. I recommend simple checks: check the tire pressure gauge and listen for the source of the noise; if that doesn't help, go to a repair shop without delay. During regular maintenance, change the oil and tighten parts to prevent issues. Addressing small problems early ensures safety.
