Problems of the engine indicator
The engine control light can be switched on for several reasons, up to 1400 different patterns. One of the most frequent reasons is a poorly screwed fuel plug. This can make the vapour emission control system (EVAP) inefficient, triggering the warning light. To avoid this, always be sure to close the cap tightly after each refill.
Clean or dirty car: What’s really effective
Contrary to popular beliefs, a clean car is more efficient in terms of fuel consumption than a dirty car. A dirty surface increases aerodynamic drag, making the car less efficient. In this sense, a regularly cleaned car benefits from an improved fuel consumption of about 0.85 km/L compared to dirty cars.
Hidden features that make life easier for you
Many vehicles have hidden functionalities. For example, some Skoda incorporate a concealed umbrella or ice scraper. The Vauxhall Corsa models of the 2000s had a retractable drawer for carrying bicycles. On the Volkswagen side, the reversing camera is often hidden behind the VW logo at the rear of the vehicle. Even if your vehicle does not have these features, you can still add accessories to enhance your experience.
