How can I distinguish between petrol cars and diesel cars?
Their are various points through which you can differentiate between a diesel and petrol engine:By name of the variant for example in case of Maruti Suzuki the variants LXI, VXI and ZXI are petrol whereas as LDI, VDI and ZDI are diesel.By the marking of the engine name, all the manufactures have a different name for their petrol and diesel engine like the petrol engine of the maruti suzuki is VVT whereas the diesel on is DDIS which is written on the front fender of every maruti car, similarly Hyundai’s petrol engine is VTVT whereas the diesel one is known as a CRDI engine.By looking under the hood.If you are inside the cockpit and the car you are in possess a tachometer then it is very easy to distinguish between the engine types by just looking at the tachometer. As the petrol engines are more rev friendly they are tuned up to go higher revs as compared to a diesel engine. A tachometer of petrol engine will go up to around 8000–11000 rpm whereas that of the diesel engine will be 6000–7000 rpm.above picture is of the petrol elite i20, whereas the picture below is of the diesel one.You can also get it done by just opening the fuel cap, it is always written on the fuel cap that which fuel to put in.
What is causing my Ford Focus to make a noise for 5 minutes after turning the engine off?
This is pretty difficult to diagnose based on your description. What year is the car and which engine does it have? Can you give a description of the noise and what volume it is? What part of the car does the noise come from? To be blunt, I’m tempted to downvote the question for giving so little useful detail.However, there are a couple of things that come to mind.If it’s a turbo, most modern cars have a pump that will run to circulate coolant through the turbo so residual heat doesn’t cook the oil into a solid and cause blockages in the oil passages. Also, if it’s a gasoline engine, some newer cars will run a pump that puts pressure on the fuel system and fuel tank to check for leaks. This is for emissions purposes. Finally, I believe some of it might have to do with the high pressure fuel pump on direct injection cars.In any event, many modern cars have systems that continue to function for a few minutes after the car is shut down. If the sounds are fairly quiet whirring noises and they’re consistent every time you shut the car off, don’t worry about it.

What is the round knob on the top of the dashboard of a Ford Ecosport?
If you are referring to the ball kind of thing in far front on the dashboard, then it is climate control sensor which senses the temperature and calculates the fan speed for the temperature you have set (15 to 28 deg celcius). It is placed or configured to sense the sun & windshield’s status for heat. It works in conjuncture with in cabin temperature sensor and adjusts the fan speed automatically. It is a single zone climate control hence placed in middle front unlike the dual zone sensors which sees which side the sun is on and adjusts fan speed of that side.
What causes smoke to come from under the car hood?
One common cause of smoke coming from under the hood is oil. Oil will leak from worn valve cover gaskets. The exhaust manifold is right below the edge of the valve cover. It heats up to as much as 1500 degrees or more, depending on the size of the engine. Oil drops on the manifold and is instantly turned to smoke. This hot smoke rises and exits the engine compartment through spaces around the hood. Valve cover gaskets cost as little as $5. A simple and economical fix.Open the hood and look for oily residue around the edge of the valve cover.How to Fix a Valve Cover Gasket Leak in 3 Steps1A Auto : Aftermarket Auto Parts, Car Body Parts, Replacement & New Automobile and Truck Parts
