In the area of Southern Germany where I live the culprits are usual members of the marten family. Here some people solve the problem by placing a wooden frame covered in stretched chicken wire under the motor compartment of the car when its parked.

To help keep squirrels away from your ride, the Canadian Wildlife Federation suggests using taste deterrents, like bitter apple spray.

Use caution and talk to a mechanic before spraying anything directly on your vehicle, though, to help avoid any damage. https://www.amazon.com/Emmys-Best-Anti-Spray-Puppies/dp/B01F7K66QE/ref=sr_1_3_sspa
