Will a Car Get Damaged If Left in the Sun for a Month?
1 Answers
Leaving a car exposed to the sun for an extended period won't cause it to break down, but it can cause harm. Below is an introduction to the potential damage from a month of sun exposure: 1. Release of harmful gases: Car interiors contain materials like leather, fabric, and silicone, which can release more harmful gases than usual when exposed to high temperatures. 2. Malfunctions: Prolonged sun exposure can thin and oxidize lubricants, worsening lubrication in friction areas and increasing wear. Continuous engine heat can also lead to issues like cylinder scuffing, bearing burnout, and injector seizure. 3. Paint damage: The car's paint is the most directly affected part when exposed to sunlight. Water droplets on the body can act as lenses, focusing sunlight and potentially burning the surface.
