2018 Audi Allroad

I know Mercedes had real problems right around 2K, tho in their case the coating became brittle and just literally fell off the wires, leading to massive shorts and melted harnesses.

It's not just the Germans, there's a reason this tape is called "Honda Rodent Proof Tape"

Whenever the car is planned to be parked for more than a week, I have to first spray the engine bay and around the tires with repellant to prevent new rodents from trying to enter.

What do you use? How quickly does it wear off? Does it smell when you start driving again?

I read that peppermint oil is supposed to be effective at putting them off?

I use this stuff. It's peppermint oil and isn't overpowering after a day goes by. It says it lasts 6 weeks, but I've never had to park it for longer than 4. So it at least works for that amount of time.
