I was gassing it in 2nd gear and miss shift then it felt like my clutch went out?

-It will move slowly at low gas, but if I gas it too much it revs. I can also put it in all gear and idle and it won't stall, the engine just revs up and down. Its a 1992 bmw 318is 2.5 4cylHi

the clutch did not just go it was worn and you just broke the camels back as we say.

so yes you could need a new clutch, but in the interests of your bank balance change the lot and not just the clutch plate as if you don't the whole thing will have to come apart again to do the other bits with in a month so replace the thrust bearing the clutch cover and the clutch plate otherwise you will be back to the garage when the the cover or the bearing fails later. and the labour charges will cripple you. in the bank and pocket.
sounds like a clutch to me there ez to fix about 500 to 700 in a shop or if you do it your self 150 to 200 a clutch pretty ez cost of the clutch and have the fly wheel cut a clutch is around 150 to 200 at napa,auto zone, O'Reilly's and about $35 to have the fly wheel cut

I have a 95 318 vert & she's fun, but she's no 328...get it?
It's probably the throw-out bearing. You need a new clutch
Might have damaged some of the gears on your clutch

Has a '02 1.2 petrol astra got a timing belt or chain?

C6 corvette wheels lighter/heavier?

Thank You.

Manual or Automatic for a G35 coupe in central WI?

-So i plan on buying a G35 coupe but I'm not sure if i want a manual or automatic. I can say I'm not the best at manual but will learn more as time passes. People also say you loose power with a automatic which is true do you really loose that much! Also i drive basically 50% highway and 50% city. There is also very big snow storms during the winter, an average we get is about 4-11ft of snow every winter! Yikes. So with these information can you folks help me decide if i should get manual or automatic. Thanks!This is pretty much a wash. There will be more automatics to pick from - the manual was offered only with the complete 6MT package - so that may settle it right there.



There are losses in any transmission, though they tend to be a bit more pronounced in slushboxes. Then again, nobody except EPA robots do most of their driving on dynos. I think you can safely say this is a non-issue.



As far as winter weather goes, a set of decent winter tires - or the lack thereof - will make far more of a difference than who's doing the shifting.
i don't think there is that much loss of power with an automatic, that you would

notice, all in what you like, the auto is always in the right gear, in town and passing

on the highway. one less problem to worry about in town when driving in deep

snow. some like the shifting of a straight stick, i have had both and an Auto

wins in the end by far. in the winter on ice or slick roads, i just shift to neutral

when trying to stop,
Because of the winter driving you don't want a coupe. They are only rear wheel drive and suck in the snow. Go with a G35x which has AWD that the computer switches back to RWD at 25 mph or if the snow button is activated the vehicle goes up to 45 mph before switching back to RWD.
me personally like manual and ne ways its a g35 coupe its a sports car man go manual all the way lol

Any porsche boxsters offer automatic transmission?

-None of the current Boxsters are offered with an automatic - the car comes standard with a traditional manual gearbox, and the PDK transmission is available as an option (this is a dual clutch system that is a true manual gearbox, but shifts similar to the older Tiptronic). The Tiptronic (which is an automatic gearbox) was offered as an option on all Boxster models prior to the introduction of PDK in 2009.Yes and most are bought that way.
i think what paul was trying to say was 'yes boxsters can come with automatic transmission'

My 1998 Chevy Malibu is overheating?

-We have changed the thermostat, the tubing, and the radiator. It tends to stay mid-way if the heat is on full blast, but it has still overheated twice. When it does the coolant comes bubbling out of the tank. Don't know what else to try.Have you checked to see if the cooling fan is turning on? That would be my guess. Let the motor get up to normal temperature and then watch for the electric fan to turn on as it gets hotter. Just don't let it get to the point that it's boiling over. If it doesn't turn on, you'll have to diagnose the problem with the fan...relay, fuse, wiring or even a bad fan.

Good luck.
did you bleed the cooling system after you replaced all that stuff. air in the cooling system can keep it from circulating.
Try moving to one of the poles.
maybe the water pump is bad......look for leaking water/antifreeze

How rare is a BMW 320i four doors?

'98 Saturn SL2 will not start? Tried almost everything, please help!?

-We have a 1998 Saturn SL2 that will not start and we have checked the starter, and fuses, replaced the starter relay, and battery, and it still will not start. Any ideas? When we turn the key it does not click. The radio doesn't come on, the lights do come on. My husband is checking the ignition switch now and then they will be checking the neutral safety switch. Do you know of anything else we can try? Please help! Thank you!If it is a manual trans, then yes unplug switch at clutch and jumper the wires (set park break, in neutral). If starts, replace the park neutral safety switch(top of clutch pedal). If no start, you could be looking at an ignition switch (use a test light to check feed circuits while turning switch). Dose this car have a security system? If aftermarket, rip it out, if factory?, then get a $20 manual at any parts store (get anyway for ckt checks).



OH, congrat's, I'm looking at Aug.1st!

What is the difference between long arm suspension and short arm suspension for jeep wranglers?

-ThanksThe axles have control arms that attach them to the vehicles frame. Short arm suspension have short arms at steeper angles than long arms. Long arm suspensions tend to ride and articulate better, though a properly designed and installed short arm suspension will be just as good if not better. The long arms have a greater chance or hanging up on rocks or other obstacles due to the fact that they hang down lower under the frame. The are usually much more expensive and difficult to install, often requiring brackets to be added and/or removed from the axle tubes and frames.http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/whats-difference-between-long-arm-short-arm-suspension-408052/

What is the purpose of a winch for jeeps? and what are its uses?

-ThanksA winch is used to recover stuck vehicles, or 'drag' them up and over obstacles they would not ordinarily be able to overcome. It can be used on either the vehicle its mounted on or a 2nd vehicle.



They can be very dangerous - please google 'how to use a winch' and watch the videos on youtube and other sites to make sure you destroy the vehicle you're trying to winch, sever an appendage or kill somebody.you could pull yourself up out of a ditch by hooking it up to a tree

2005 Hyundai Elantra rad?

-okay so my car has been over heating,its a 2005 Hyundai Elantra.. ive never had any major problems with it other then replacing the battery.. it has about 85000km. So i took it into the garage today get a call saying the rad has to be replace as well as the cylinder gasket.. im told its rather labour intensive.. and im looking around 1300... does that seem right?If the head gasket needs to be replaced then yes the labor is about right. However I would take it to the dealership for a second opinion. Too bad, 1 year outside of the warranty.

How much does an oil change on a corvette cost?

-price at a shop?



price if you did it yourself?For what oyu will pay at a shop, you can put premium oil in it yourself.

Wis oil filter, Royal Purple oil or Amsoil. Both of those oils are good for extended interval's too. Thus, they will also stretch Dollars, as a result.
its best if you use the oil that came in the car from the factory. i have corvette and i do the oil changes so it takes 6 and a half quarts and $8.50 a quart so i bought 7 quarts which cost me 60 dollars.
Amsoil gets my vote for the oil. A regular 'ol AC Delco filter or a Wix will do just fine.



At a shop you're probably looking around $80-90, if you do it yourself about half of that.
Same as on most cars. $40-50 at a shop more if you want synthetic. 1/2 that if you do it yourself.
do it yourself and get areal car not the crappy new cars

How can I make my new 2012 Honda Civic EX faster?

-I just bought a 2012 Honda Civic and I want to make it faster. Any ideas?That is not a really good idea, the reason I say this is it is under warranty correct? Any modifications you make will likely void the warranty. I suggest you talk to the finance manager at the dealership you bought the car and ask him what you can and cannot do, his job is to know all the ins and outs of the warranty problems with the dealership cars and he is the go to guy for the dealership issues.

1994 Ford Taurus GL Dash Lights Dont Work?

-I have a 1994 Ford Taurus and the dash lights don't work, well the cruise, turn signals and those lights work, just basically the important ones. The speedometer, and the other gauges.



I have checked the fuses, and one was blown, but not for the dash. Replaced it. Still doesn't work. The other strange thing that has happened is the stereo has suddenly stopped working, well it comes on, then turns off, and basically doesn't come back on. Sometimes you can hit the dash and it may come on, but only for a few seconds.



I replaced the wiring harness because when I pulled out the stereo if you moved the connection around the stereo would come in an out, so I figured it was a bad connection. Replaced, it still doesn't work. It comes on, has power, plays for a few seconds then it goes out. Still has power, just no sound.



I have the whole dash torn off right now so I hope someone can help me figure out what could be wrong.



I checked the dimmer switch, it is turned all the way up. The only wires that I seen that need be replaced is the head light switch, it looks like the harness got hot and melted a bit. But my headlights work fine.



I have seen that there have been many people who have had this similar problem, but have not seen any solutions.



Please help, I can't leave the car all torn apart, but I don't want to put it back together untill its fixed, it was a pain to take apart!



LindaThere should be a fuse for the dash lights and one for the radio, so find out which fuse is for the circuit that isn't working. Test for voltage to the fuse. Test for a short circuit against the fuse terminal that isn't powered up. Remove the IP cluster and test for voltage to the lights, and for a good ground connection. What do you find?

How do i fix lock door on 97 ford explorer if lock shut an cant be opened?

-did you try unlocking it from the rear door or passenger door? Once opened, I cut the wire to mine...it still locks from the passenger side.. or replace the solenoid..There are tools that slip between the door frame and window glass that can be used to open the door but if you don't know what you're doing you could do damage that will cost more than having a locksmith open the door for you. Once the door is open it's rather easy to remove the trim panel to get inside and look for what broke.
IF U CAN GET THE INSIDE DOOR PANNEL OFF ? TRY PULLING ON THE OR PRYING ON THE DOOR LOCK MECH. ESU A FLASHLIGHT CUZ ITS DARK. IF U CANT , I SUGGGEST TO CALL A LOCKSMITH. OR A MECHANIC.GOOD LUCK.

Why does my Jeep's engine rev up and down when I start it cold?

Why is my Subaru Forester losing it's charge?

-We have a Subaru Forester that makes a loud alarm sound that would seem to tell us that the battery's lost it's charge because we can't start it. But when the battery's been on charge all day it will start, but when I went to go out in it this morning, again it didn't start - although the engine turned over once then went dead. This alarm sounded once. Any ideas?Once batteries reach a certain age and usage they become incontinent and unable to hold a charge - sounds like your battery is about to die.
Time for a new battery, it's normal for a battery to stop holding charge. Just get a new one and all will be well.
Weak battery, most likely.

Are there any porsches that have an automatic transmission?

-Among current offerings by the company, only the Cayenne SUV comes with a traditional automatic

gearbox, although the company does still offer a Tiptronic (which is a sequential shift connected to an automatic gearbox) on the Panamera. Other road cars offered by the company comes standard with a manual transmission with a dual clutch system as an option (still a manual gearbox, but used without a clutch pedal like the Tiptronic, but retains the advantages of a manual as there is no torque converter).



The Tiptronic was introduced in 1990, with PDK mostly replacing it in 2009. Most Porsche cars offered in that stretch of time had the Tiptronic transmission as an option. Additionally, traditional automatic units were available on the 924/944/968 series as well as the 928 (from the mid 1970s through the last of breed examples in the 1990s). Before that Porsche offered the Sportomatic as an option on the 911, 912, and 914 models. The Sportomatic was a manual shift automatic and a precursor to the later Tiptronic in many ways - while an uncommon option, examples do remain in service.The Cayenne is available with an automatic.
Yes, all modern porsches are available with two pedals.

The problem is that they're integrated into the front bumper/header and you have to replace the whole unit to "fix it".

Civic '03 B18 swap and tranny swap (auto to manual) questions?

-Well heres the deal, i got this awsome civic for a freakin low price, its in top shape condition and everything, i really wanted to have it manual tho, but i just couldnt say no to that deal...so now i really want to port that tranny to manual. I know people will say "worthless, too pricy, just sell the car and buy another" but money is not an issue here idc how much ill pay for that.. so i was wondering, if it would cost alot to do the whole b18 swap + auto to manual swap (considering i do both at the same time)It will add about another $1500 to $2000 to the engine swap. The physical tranny install is easy, its converting the cab from automatic to manual that is like 1/2 the cost.

93 volvo 850 glt dies! Help...?

-I have a 93 850 glt non turbo that dies when idle. Not ALWAYS but very very often. When we got it the lights up by the rear view mirror didn't work, bit didn't really care because the car was running perfectly fine. Every now and then theres also a smell of gas coming from the car. Now when we drive its fine as long as we have a foot on the gas pedal constantly. Not much pressure, but just enough to keep it from dying at stop lights, stop signs etc. We usually throw it into N while were stopped. We replaced the fuel pump and the MAF, but nothing. The car actually refuses to run with the MAF plugged in.... Anyone else have this problem? Or at least heard of it? Do you think its the entire wiring system? Sometimes when you apply the brakes, the ABS light will come on and brakes become hard to press and blinkers will not work. But if you hit the car underneath the steering wheel, close to the ignition, the ABS light goes off and the blinkers and brakes work just fine. Also, the brake light comes on on the dash when you apply brakes, but the brake lights work perfectly fine. None of them are out. Like wtf. Heeeeeelp!An aerated brake system will cause the brake light to come on while braking. As of the ABS. The pump module could be going out. It is false ABS braking causing premature activation. A hard brake pedal is also an indication of poor vacuum to the brake booster or a failure of that part. By hitting the area under the ignition switch you could be intermittently disabling the ignition switch and resetting the computer perimeters.



Your symptoms of the stalling is more than likely the cause of one of a few things. 1. check the resistance of your coolant temp sensor located at the left front of the engine by the power steering pump. 2. the front o2 sensor not responding fast enough for the Maf sensor to compensate the fuel curve. 3. check the air induction system for cracks and disconnected vacuum lines. I would personally start with the coolant temp sensor. Its a cheap fix and wreaks havok on the computer and fuel mileage.

94 mustang gt 5 speed or 96 camaro z28 automatic?

-camaro has a 2800 stall. im going for 100% speedIs the camaro built? 2800 stall is over 1000rpm above stock, seems overkill for a stock setup.

Normally the camaro would eat the mustang up, but if you know how to shift, the mustang would be quicker. I don't have enough info about aftermarket stuff done to the cars. Bone stock or even equally modded, the camaro would go faster with equally skilled drivers. That is true for all mustang vs. camaros up until 2011 model years. (mustang fans, I know that the cobra is faster than any z28, and the roush and saleen models are no slouches either, I am talking about even up racers, mod for mod.)



Mustang For '94, the V-8 became more refined, to produce 215 horsepower at 4200 and 285 pound-feet of torque at 3500, meaning the engine had to rev a little higher than before to reach a lower peak, and the driver had to work harder for serious performance. The output change, saddled with the car's 200-pound weight increase, resulted in slightly softened acceleration. Its 0-60-mph performance of 6.7 seconds is still quick, but not as aggressive as before... 6.3 with the manual/5speed.



As for the camaro Z28: LT1 5.7 V8 275 bhp @ 5200 rpm, 325 lb-ft @ 2400 rpm.

0-60 in 6.1 automatic and 5.7 seconds, manual.



Speed, pick camaro, but the mustang is a fun car too. If the cars are not in tip top shape, don't rag em out, they are old now.... cars are cheap, fast, reliable....pick two.... :)
mustang gt all day! mine is a 95 with the 5.0 engine. iv beat 5 z28's. z28's will just fall part.
The mustang. The Z28 has and always will be unreliable.
Gt, 96 camaros were poorly made and you will be happier with the 5 speed for speed

I have a burnt valve in a 1999 ford escort. what's a "quick fix" until i can save to have it repaired?

-It doesn't leak or overheat. The spark plug in the burnt valve doesn't give power. My car stall alot on the take off but once going pass 15MPH, it drives good! There is a faint "ticking" sound though. How long before the engines goes bad? what can i do to keep it going until i can have the heads replaced?Sad news, your engine is already bad. You need a new Cylinder head. A head, new head bolts and gasket set is around 500 dollars on ebay, plus mechanics fees (should be 300-600 depending on mechanics rates) so you are looking at around 1000 for a repair. That would be the safe bet, but some people do what is in the following paragraphs. The problem is, that that costs between 200-500 at a shop, and you still have the old head...I figure better be safe than sorry. Eventually you will loose the cylinder compression completely and the car will run like crap, if at all. It is only a matter of time, there is no real way to tell. It is on borrowed time.







A "burned valve" is a valve that has overheated and lost its ability to hold a leak-free seal. Valve burning is usually limited to exhaust valves because they run much hotter than intake valves.



The diagnosis of a burned valve is usually the result of a compression test. If a cylinder shows little or no compression, it frequently means the exhaust valve is not sealing. The valve may or may not be actually burnt (melted), but have other physical damage such as cracks or areas where pieces of metal are missing or eroded away from the valve face.



The cure for this condition is to remove the cylinder head, replace the bad valve and reface (or replace) the valve seat. As a rule, the head is usually given a complete valve job at the same time because the rest of the valves and guides probably need attention, too. If one exhaust valve has failed, the rest are probably on the verge of failure if they haven't already started to leak.

Can a 08 Hyundai Tiburon GT 5 speed be converted to a 6 Speed?

-I plan to buy a Hyundai Tiburon GT but, all I can find in my area is a 5 speed and I want to know if I can convert it to a 6 speed transmission?Since Hyundai never made any 6 speed automatic Tiburons it would be very hard to convert and not worth the trouble.

Can professionals... Can my toyota make this car trip?

-I have a toyota corolla 01' and im driving it across california 344 miles there and 344 back so 688 there and back. I have 166,000 miles on my toyota. And its in ok shape. I dont have problems with it. Well do u think my car will make the trip. I dont abuse my car like drive way to fast and i plan on taking breaks. Any tips?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.You aren't asking for a professional.



You're asking us to be psychic.



We do not know anything about your car. The only person who does, is YOU.



You have been responsible for it.



You are the one who should have been maintaining it.



You are the one who would know what shape it's in.



So if you don't know whether it will make it or not, that just tells me that you're a crappy car owner. Learn to take care of the things you own.



But asking us, is pointless. We have absolutely no idea, and guessing at whether it will make it or not, is stupid.



Next time, think before you ask.well, Im GUESSING, it will be fine. If you are so worried, buy a membership to AAA, and hit the road. Make sure to get the membership that includes free towing over 100 miles.

What is the likely cause for"check injection" warning on Renault Megane 2.?

-The service light also comes on. it is an intermittent fault. had it checked on computer to no avail. the warning was showing when it was checked. It is accompanied with sudden reving upIf it is a diesel, the "check injection" warning normally signifies a fault with the combustion chamber pre-heaters (also known as glow plugs). It happened twice on my 2003 1.9dCi over the 100,000 miles I had it for.

I have no knowledge of the petrol versions.
sudden revving and then dying can be an air leak, check all your pipes and connections.

How to turn off the alarm sound of Hyundai Accent 2011?

-Hi! I recently bought a Hyundai Accent 2011 and I want to turn off its alarm because when I lock/unlock the door using the smart key, the sound produced is the sound when honking which is kind of noisy. But I don't know how. Help please? Or is it possible to change the sound when unlocking/locking the car? I tried reading the manual but there's no instructions on how to do this. Thanks! 10 points for the best answer :)Ask your dealer/salesman.... as far as I know there is no way to turn the alarm off but could be possible to unhook some wires. (at that point the alarm would still go off, you just wouldn't hear it)

2004 honda accord having problem shifting into gear. What is the problem?

-I'm assuming automatic since these kinds of problems are usually automatic related, but still as to what you have exactly would help.



And 2, what exactly is the problem? Can you just simply not put it into gear, is it not moving at all, is it not shifting when you drive, etc...



Details.you need to change the transmission fluid. There is a factory recall and thats what the dealer does. if not, they will fix the transmission.
Is it Manual or auto?

Flowmaster super 44 on v6 camaro?

-I just bought a super 44 dual outlet muffler that I'm welding dual exhaust to. My car is only a v6 and I've heard that the sound comes out a little ricey. Will the duals and a cold air intake deepen the sound? Will it still sound good anwyay?The previous post is misunderstanding you, I think - you have a single pipe running to a 44 with a single in, dual out, correct? If this is true, then its not a "true dual" but simply a dual set of tailpipes.



The "ricer" sound would come from a true dual on your V6, where you run dual pipes from the headers - effectively separating the exhaust pulses to a 2x3 format; not good.



You didn't mention what kind of car we're talking about, too - if you are running this muffler on a small-bore V6, then it will sound a little ratty, especially with a stock cat hushing most of the noise. But if its a large bore V6 like the 3.8, then you should have a decent enough sound.



The CAI won't do anything for the exhaust note. The only real way to "deepen" a ricey exhaust note would be to increase the diameter of the exhaust piping, increasing the resonance sound of the entire exhaust. For example, if you ran 3" pipe instead of a 2.5", you'll have a louder overall sound, and more aggressive, with the downside of more interior noise as well - but you have to make sacrifices sometimes......Don't be a fool and waste your money on fake exhausts. Dual Exhausts come naturally on many V8s, but not on a 6 cylinder. Change your engine, not your exhaust.

What sporty lookin car has just a 'T' badge and nothing else to identify the make or model? It's not toyota...?

-I've seen it around for atleast 5 years. It isnt new, but it is very stylish and looks as if its made around the 06'-08' years.The Hyundai Tuscani is a possibility, but if it's sporty looking, I would be leaning towards the Tesla Roadster. If it looks like a Lotus Elise, then it's a Tesla.
Hyundai Tiburion a redesign of the original which was just called a Hyundai Coupe. Tiburion is also a world meaning Shark in another language.
Its a Tuscani



Italian version of the Hyundai Tiburon gt.





I own one and have those badges!

Honda Prelude VS. Ford Mustang?

-What beats what? How fast can you get the Prelude to go with Turbo, Exhaust etc. anything but changing the engine?If you turbo a honda if your really really lucky you will be running the same times as a stock v8 stang. And still be out money because the turbo. Also them honda aren't made to be beat up and Turboed The motor will fail quick. With just exhaust headers and a tune a stang will be one quick car. To be honest with you. The only people who buy hondas and try to make them fast are people that cant afford a mustang or camaro so they deal with what they got. And most them people are 16year old kids or mexicans
Both can be pumped up, it is just a matter of how big you want to go. When it comes to power to weight, they can both be made to get on a major diet and shed pounds.I have seen 9 second Honda's and I have seen 8 second mustangs. So he answer lies in how much you want to change. NOX can make anything go like hell, but they don't hold together very long.

Question for mazda owners ?

-Are mazdas good reliable cars? I'm wanting to get a mazda6 as my first car..I'm 17 but I don't know much about mazdas and I want a car that's safe, good on gas and won't give me too much trouble. I'll need this car throughout college so a few years or so.Yeah Mazdas tend to have great reliability, the 6 may be a little big for a first car so test drive that and a 3 to see which you prefer.



We had a Mazda and it never broke down - only things we needed to replace on it were due to wear and tear - tyres, exhaust etc.



If you have the budget for a new car maybe try the Nissan Juke, Nissan also tend to have great reliability it does 40mgp (more if you drive in eco mode) looks more funky for a teenager to be driving and just passed it's crash tests with flying colours.I suggest you get the Mazda 2, it comes with either a saloon version and a hatchback version with 1.5 litre engine. I wonder it the saloon model available in your country, if not go for the hatchback version of either 1.3 or 1.5 auto
Mazda 6 is a great car but I think is to big for you. Maybe try a Mazda 3 or a Honda civic. Both brands have excellent quality reviews -and safety points

Why doesn't my key lock the doors on my porsche?

-My Porsche's battery went dead the other day, and after I got it running, everything worked fine, but the remote wont lock the doors and I have no other way of locking it. What could be the problem?If you lock the door, it only takes someone 5 seconds with a vise-grips to open it and cost you many hundreds of dollars to fix it.

It is foolish to lock your car.

Just remove the sound system when you leave it.



Why it is you have no other way of locking the doors?

Are you saying there is no key opening?



But if the remote is not working, I would try disconnecting the battery again, wait 20 minutes, and try again. When batteries go down, it can cause electronics to go into odd modes, and require a full reset.
The car hates you.. lol lock it on the inside when you get outthen see if that works.

Should the timing belt be changed when the water pump is replaced on a 99 VW Beetle?

-I had the head redone with all misc part replaced, on 5/4/2011, cost around $2200, (thank god I had a warranty!) no more than a month on 05/12/2011 my temp light came on. Had the water pump replaced ....The the car just quit & wouldn't start. So I had a mechanic look at it & He stated that there was NO way the water pump was ever replaced. And then he went on to tell me that 3 valves came unseeded. God I am SOOOO sick of this car!! WTF!!!! Some body help me!If the water pump is driven by the timing belt it always gets replaced when a water pump that is leaking gets replaced. The antifreeze from the leaking water pump ruins a timing belt and any professional mechanic would never reuse the soaked old timing belt, it will only jump time and bend valves.Unfortunatly, it is better that you know what work needs to be done and how to do it. For the record the timing belt needs to be replaced at 100,000 miles and every 60,000 miles there after. Everything that touches the timing belt needs to be replaced when the timing belt is replaced. Normally just the water pump. You should always ask the mechanic for the old parts so that you know they have been replaced. But, it is even better if you can do the work yourself. WTF.
Seems like it might be a good idea to put a new timing belt on there while you're at it. If that thing goes then you will pretty much need a new engine.
Yes.
Nothing wrong with the car. Who you got to do the work...there is a problem there if they do not do the work and scam you out of money.



Yet, you are trusting a different mechanic?



Why did you go to a different mechanic? Why would you ever suspect the last mechanic to screw you ?



Bad water pump would not stop the car from running. Waterpump would not be replaced if that was not the reason for the temperature light coming on. Maybe they changed a temperature sensor. Check your receipt.



Water pumps do not usually fail - they only leak behind the pulley when they start to go..



"Then he went on to tell me that 3 valves came unseated"



Meaning "what, exactly?" I am unfamiliar with that terminology(as it is BS) His remedy would be(how many hundreds$)



It sounds like con # 2 See a third independent mechanic for their assessment. OR,



Go back to the dealer and let the dealer mechanic work on the vehicle. (I assume that is where you got the "warranty work" done at.)



Until you learn how to fix it or find a trustworthy mechanic who knows something (by asking other VW owners where they get their car fixed at).



FYI - the timing belt is replaced every 60,000 miles(100,000KM) regardless of whether the water pump gets replaced or not. I have swapped out 4 timing belts out of the same vehicle without touching the water-pump (it is fine so leave it alone).



It they can sell you a water pump, they will - but the belt can be removed without removing the water-pump.



If antifreeze should ever get on a timing belt, wash it off and dry the belt. There is nothing corrosive in antifreeze (otherwise you would not have rubber hoses connecting the engine to the radiator or rubber hoses to the heater core...- common sense dictates this line of thinking)



If you want to buy a new one, I won't stop you.but that is the reality.



They could have replaced the timing belt when they changed the head, but at that time I guess it was not necessary. It would be on your receipt for the head job.

Door chime rings when playing radio in Jeep Wrangler?

-Since I bought my 2011 jeep wrangler, I've always had a problem with keeping the car on but engine off and listening to the radio because the door chime dings every time i turn the music up to loud. is there a way i can fix this?In reference to rugrat's reply.



I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler, the ignition switch has three positions.

Off, you can pull the key out in this position.

Accessory position, which is one click forward from the off position.

Run position, turning it forward all the way until the Jeep starts.



Unlike a lot of vehicles I have owned, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler does not have an accessory position which is a turn backwards.



I know, I have already tried. LOL
It sounds like you are turning the key forward into the on position to use the stereo instead of backwards into the accessory position. I'm not familiar with the 2011 Jeep but most cars have been this way for awhile. Try turning the key in the reverse direction and you should get stereo without the "ding, ding" as well as windows, sunroof, door locks and whatever other electric accessories it might have. Hope this helps.

Help with dumpvalve and double wastegate on turbo?

-I have bought a new turbo for my car with double wastegate. I have got the car to work as i should, but no dumpvalve will work, no matter what. I have tried 4 different dump valves, even on 1.5 bar it wont go off.



I have a Volvo 940 Turbo 1995 mod, and when i had the stock turbo i only needed like 0.3 - 0.4 bar to make the dumpvalve go off.



So now i can't figure out how to fix this, do the double wastegate on my turbo make the problem ?

On my turbo now it's only one wastegate that is used, and one is open. Should i connect them both together?



Thanks for the help :)

Wanting to buy a 2007 Jeep Wrangler, How much can it pull?

-Wanting to get a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. I have a 10ft by 6ft trailer. I was wanting to know if the Jeep can pull it with 2 Harleys. When on the trailer its 1600lb. I have a Rav 4 V6 and it can pull it but it drags a lot. Thank you for the help.Researched this a couple of months ago. I think they are rated for 2k#. The official BS says the tongue weight will unweight the front tires and make them unstable. With the short distance from the back bumper to the center of the rear axle, I don't think that's the real problem. Sounds like a liability thing, due to the short wheel base. Still waiting to try my new Rubicon with a Scamper.
V6 will pull it but it will slack a little I can't say for sure but I believe you'll be good

Can i easily swap a 302 ho from an 86 mustang into a 84 mustang?

-i have an 84 mustang gt with a 351w and i wanted to swap the engine with an 86 efi 302 i talked to this guy and he said i would have to change k members and all that good stuff. is it as simple as dropping it in or would it be a big project? (minus all the wiring)the 84 mustang did not come 351 of any type, some one most have put a 351 in .you said the 351w is it is almost the same block as a 302. the 351w has a taller deck then a 302 the engine mounts and trans mounts are the same so yes 86 302 will bolt right in the 84 probably had a 302 when it came from the factory. 84 mustang came with a 302, 3.8l v6 , 2.3 4cyl and a turbo 4cyl the the v6 was droped in 86 and did not come back till 1994.

Can anybody tell me how to change the fuel line in a 2000 Buick LeSabre?

-It is leaking gas right above the motor and it looks like it would be easy to just replace the rubber hose and attachment. But, no, you have to replace the whole fuel line which runs under the car all the way to the back where the fuel filter is. I looks like there are just some rubber clamps of some kind holding three such metal lines together and the one that is leaking is the center one. I know the back end attaches directly to the fuel filter. Is this something a woman in her late fifties can do by herself?That's a hard question to answer without knowing exactly what's wrong. These hoses are made as assemblies because they hold a lot of pressure and by eliminating clamps and such, there is much less chance of leaks. It also depends where it's leaking, is it the flexible part that's cracked, the metal part, or is the leak at the connection, like an o-ring? These lines don't normally leak unless they are damaged somehow, or manhandled when someone took them apart. Whether or not you can fix it yourself is hard to say. The connections may need a release tool to get loose, and if it's a flare nut connection at the filter, they can be really hard to get loose if they are rusty at all. I guess it depends how determined you are, what tools you have, and how dexterous you are.



zxcI am all for DIY, but in this case I would talk to people and find a good fair repair shop to give you an estimate, and confirm the leak. Not saying that it's not, but hardly ever are those replace for that reason. No matter age nor gender. =$120.-180. to have done, and have them responsible for it all. Even though it's fuel, it really isn't any more of a danger than other repairs, just b bit more caution. But get on the ground, look it over, even drive the front tires just up on a curb (private property?) to give a little more room (set park break), be smart about it. Get the part 1st, so you can get an idea of what is needed (and the right one). Good Luck. Be Careful.

Is a 1986 Classic Saab 900 with 260000 miles a good first car for 900$?

-It has had a recent full tune up, Had the transmission bled, new front brake rotors & pads, New headlights and brake light module. Also, a clean title.Before you buy it test drive it and see if it feels right and car facts it and if you see a propblem that keeps repeating then its wise to stay away cuz you might get itfor 900 but you'll have to put in more but if it works fine the price sounds like steal
It will be a money pit. You may want to save up a little more and get an old honda or toyota.

Whats the best way to make my 05 gto the fastest gto in town?

-please help me figure out what to put on my gto to make it the fastest in town its a 05 so it already has the LS2 in it but please help me....thanksOpen up your checkbook and send it to Lingenfelter Performance



A base model Supercharger installation is about $9000



For about $11,000 you get their high end supercharger package that will increase the power of your 366 C.I. LS2 to about 600 horsepower and about 500 ft lbs of torque.
nothing short of a big wallet is going to solve your problem. you will need a big block 632 from world performance. supercharger kit (overdriven) nitrous oxide, and a full chassis to handle the power that the big block chev puts out.
Depends how big your town is, and what the fastest is. Better question is, how small is your world that you feel you have to have the baddest of one model of car in your town?
Best way......Supercharger, or Twin turbo
Install a Turbo kit, Magnaflow exhaust, cold air intake, things like that.

Are Audi's really unreliable or not?

-I've heard a crowd of people say don't buy Audi's because they are very unreliable and expensive to fix. But then I hear another crowd of people say that they swear by the Audi name and "German Engineering" and the quality of the cars. This question is for Audi owners out there. Is your Audi unreliable or is it a pretty good car?Very untrue that all cars reliability are the same. Yes Audi's are quite difficult and expensive to maintain, but reliability data proves that Audi is probably the worst when it comes to reliability from Germany. Best opt for BMW or Mercedes Benz. These are long term German cars.

However do not get confused with reliability and quality. Audi is best for quality. Materials, technology, and how they put everything together, Audi has been known for having the BEST in the industry.
In general, Audi's are reliable and a good quality car. The problem is that they fall apart, when one thing DOES go wrong, a lot starts to go wrong on them and they are very VERY expensive to fix. This is why you don't typically see many old Audi's out there.
Audi's are as reliable as any other vehicle. However, they are generally more expensive to repair. Also, on these vehicles following the maintenance schedules is a must.
No complaints.

305 high output heads on a 350 sbc?

-My question is that I have a engine from a 1972 Chevrolet C10 this is a stock 350 4bolt main with a 4 bbl and the compression ratio is 8.0:1, I heard that you can install a set of 305 heads to bring up the compression ratio. I just so happen to have a set of 305 high output heads (cast #416) and I was wondering what work I have to get done to the heads so they can perform good on this engine. I also have a comp cam xe262 (.462/.469) it also has a edelbrock performer air gap intake and a bunch of other goodies and I'm hoping to squeeze enough power out of this block as I can without spending too much. I'm open to ideas or suggestions ???Port and polish your existing heads, and ask if it's possible to mill them about .001 or so to boost compression. Probably your easiest and cost-effective solution.
It appears they will bolt right up, no mods needed. However you need to look at your setup. If you have dished pistons then you are ok. Otherwise it may up your compression ratio too much. You need to figure out how big the chamber is on the new heads. Compared to the old ones and do the math to figure out what the new ratio will be.



Also if your ratio goes alot higher, like 10 to 1 then you are going to have to use premium gas. You could use a thicker head gasket to lower the ratio a little to a more street friendly 9.5 to 1.



The only thing you should consider doing to the heads is getting larger valves. The 305's generally had smaller valves then 350's.

To: Matthew, check ground where?

-Thanks for the answer to my question. But Im lost as to where to check for a loose ground. I did check wiring but I feel I might have missed something..I read your previous question and I think Matthew meant to check the ground connection that goes to the car chassis.

Interested in 2003 audi a4?

-hey im looking to buy a 2003 Audi A4 with roughly 68,000 miles. In reading some reviews, some good and some bad, i want to know about its reliability. Im in school in Huntsville, AL but live in Miami, FL. Is this car dependable to make the trip twice every 5 months? Also some common advice about what to look for in purchasing AudisThose audi are expensive Volkswagen's, and for the most part were a pretty decent car below 100,000 miles, If that one has 69000 original it should be in outstanding condition. I would certainly consider a few things before buying. They are well known for electrical and engine and possible transmission issues once up close to 100,000 miles, I would go to carcomplaints.com I checked audi and the 03 had the most complaints of any year 5 total there were not a lot of complaints compared to to other cars, however dealer only parts, that are imported from germany will leave you with some eye opening repair bills, and if you are looking for a dependable, trouble free car that is reliable and an every day driver that you can start up and go into the wild blue younder, DONT BUY AN AUDI. GET A NISSAN, A SUBARU, OR A TOYOTA.

Can i use the intake and exhaust manifolds from a 305 on a 350 switching engines in 1987 gmc pick up?

-Yes , very compatible. If the years re not the same, only thing is egr valve and may have to route your cooling line. No big dealYou should be fine with the ones that are on your truck now. I dont believe the 305 and 350 manifolds were different. I know they will bolt up and the flow difference between the engines is not that much.

What sporty lookin car has just a 'T' badge and nothing else to identify the make or model? It's not toyota...?

-I've seen it around for atleast 5 years. It isnt new, but it is very stylish and looks as if its made around the 06'-08' years.The Hyundai Tuscani is a possibility, but if it's sporty looking, I would be leaning towards the Tesla Roadster. If it looks like a Lotus Elise, then it's a Tesla.
Hyundai Tiburion a redesign of the original which was just called a Hyundai Coupe. Tiburion is also a world meaning Shark in another language.
Its a Tuscani



Italian version of the Hyundai Tiburon gt.





I own one and have those badges!

Wat's d mileage of hyundai i10?

-plz tell me d mileage of hyundai i10..i wanna buy it in july itself..See i bought nxt gen i10 magna last november in rajasthan.Company said 20.45 per litre with ac.

In beginning days i got 14-16 kpl only (without ac as those were harsh winter days here).I learnt driving in beginning days.After first service milege rises by 1 kpl more (without ac).

Then when i become perfectionist in driving in april,i changed my driving style and now getting 17-18 kpl (With 70% AC).Just try to use as less clutch as you can & try to drive on the highest possible gear.Most inportantly try to keep it near or below 80 kph only.I know its a little hard task in i10 as it always try to reach above 100 kph.This is my funda.

These all figures are for driving on remote highways with very less traffic only.The conditions here are so easy that,i never require to press the brake even in 100 kms.I simply press the accelartor and go to sleep on driving seat :D.Its a remote area.One day i reached from jaisalmer to outside bikaner (320 kms. distance) by pressing brake 2 times only.I think that should be registered in limca book of records.

I have no idea about what'll be its milege in bumper to bumper traffic of metro cities or crowded highways like punjab,haryana.

So the conclusion is you'll get milege anywhere between 10-19 depending upon the driving conditions.

Hope you got atleast some idea about what'll be its milege.

I would suggest you to take a look at chevy beat also and never buy waganR.My blood starts boiling at 1000'C whenever i see a wagnR..I just hate it.Driver in wagnR seems like a fool sitting in a washing machine.I've no idea about performace of wagnR & beat.Better ask from some other wise person unlike me :D
Dont go with company specification according to company it mileage is 21kmpl. but in actual it gives 15-18 kmpl. i world prefer go with kappa engine. The Kappa engine is an aluminum block, four-cylinder engine that features double overhead cam shaft and breathes through 16 valves. This car features all top end features sunroof, 2-Din audio system, a unique red pack for the Sportz interiors and some class leading safety features like anti-lock braking system (ABS) and dual airbags.
Mileage of Hyundai i10 is 20.36 km/litre. It gives a good mileage.
its about 14.6 km / litre
abt 20kmpl

94 civic ex overheat issue?

-quick question. 94 Civic EX just less than 300,000 miles. Swapped out a rusted leaky radiator for my sister yesterday due to overheat issue. Fluid was brown and milky. Brand new radiator installed, system flushed. No leaks after swap. Car overheated again and radiator was filled with milky brown fluid. Radiator still leaking fluid but not externally. I suspect cracked water jackets and the fluid to be a mix of oil and antifreeze. Thoughts?Overheating and oil in coolant fluid means a blown head gasket, most likely. Or a cracked head if you are unlucky.
the problem started long before you got there, that is rusty water which is BAD because a vehicle needs antifreeze for a reason and in order for water to rust like that requires years of abuse And since this radiator probem was not fixed a lot sooner its likely now a blown head gasket. At this point check the oil if its milky or foamy park the car. In all likely hood you had an air pocket after the new radiator and flush, you need to work those out first. I flush the vehicle as best I can, fill it up, drive it for less than ten minutes and park it. Let it cool down and watch the overflow bottle. If the system is working correctly it sucks the coolant back into the radiator as it cools, getting rid of any air pockets. The radiator should be full by this time, then fill the overflow as needed and your good to go. If the radiator does not suck the coolant back into it as it cools, replace the radiator cap, they do go bad. Another thing that happens is if you did not back flush the radiator and the engine water jackets, rust builds up on the bottom, well now the system is clean and working right, the waterpump is scouring the layer of rust up you need to dump and refill the rusty water, you do not want pockets of rust inside the engine this can create a hot spot which is not a good thing. So, have patience flush some more water (dont use any more coolant until the rust problem is solved, its wasting money) iTS unlikely a water jacket has cracked, its a lot more likely the head gasket has gone. good luck, if the head gasket is border line you can try bars leak the black goo in a can, old timeer car racers love that stuff, and if the radiator is good, (I know the water pump is, it blasted all that rust loose off the bottom of the water jackets) then it should help its worth a try, makes everything black and oily,in the radiator, but it has a water pump lube which is CRITICAL RIGHT NOW, and it may fix the head gasket issue at least for a while. good luck

Red or orange Kia Soul?

-Hey guys! I am debating on whether I should purchase an orange or red Kia Soul. The red is cute and comfy, while I feel like the orange is warm and sporty. I don't really like the other colors, but feel free to make your point :D Thanks!I like the red - a lot of people seem to go for the orange, and it's ended up being kinda mainstream, just like that copper colour on the honda element. Red should shake things up a little.
Orange. I've heard that red cars get pulled over more often. Plus I think the orange ones look super cool and there aren't many orange cars out there.
Get a Subaru Impreza in WR Blue Mica.
I would go with red because it will turn orange in time.
Red!

Is Nissan 370z a worthwhile upgrade from 350z?

-I currently drive a 2003 350z, it is a almost a perfect car and i love the look, reliability, speed, comfort, and value of my 350z. For my next car i am thinking about getting a upgrade to a more expensive used European sport car like the Mercedes Benz sl500, BMW M3 and etc. However, my research tells me these higher end European cars are extremely unreliable. I want a car that is sexy, fast, fun, reliable, and a great value for the money. Does a 370z beats out sl500, M3 and etc in the above categories?370Z has a low roof line making it hard to get into and out of. For around 40 k 370Z is a bargan. I agree with the other answer having delevered 12 GT-R's if you want the most bang for the buck buy a $93,000 GT-R. BMW Mercedes Benz offer free Maintence for 3 years 50,000 miles on new cars so there is a lots of MB and BMW on the market with 3 years and 50k on them. All exotic cars GT-R included can get very expensive when you pull into the shop.
why dont you give mistubishi lancer evollution VIII it is cheap, hot, sexy, fast abd efficient............
Keep the 350z. Buy a supercharger for it and be faster then both them new expensive cars
No. A Nissan GT-R fills the bill, within the price range.
^^ this guy might be right so i would do that guy says

What size of hid light can i fit on my 1990 toyota corolla?

-Check Ebay.

Type 1990 Corolla HID

You will get a lot of options to choose from

and it tells you the size as wellYou will have to pull your stock headlights off and measure the housing. This way you can find the right HID projector to retrofit into your stock housing. Mind you, that a 1990 Corolla headlights are probably going to be very yellowed, so finding a new set of clear lenses will be imperative. This conversion is also not for the faint of heart, because you will have to buy brand new headlights, then cut them up to attach the HID projectors. This isn't an easy process because they have to be lined up perfectly and can take a lot of work. Then, once the housings are modified and sealed properly, you can affix the wiring for the HID ballasts and resistors and put the headlights back on the car.



Any other so-called "HID Conversion" is not only not real HID lighting, but is also illegal.

Here's the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations article on the "direct fit HID Upgrade" type kits and why they are illegal.

What are the best tires to put on a 01 honda accord that does some desert driving?

-and, would it be better to do the job in mexico or the US and how much should one expect to pay? gracias!I have tried so many tires over the years. The best tire I have ever used and been 110% happy with for performance, Rain, or shine are the Falken 452 series tires. I have the 205/40ZR17 on my Civic SiR and i never once lost traction. They grip the road like you wouldn't believe, great for high temp roads, and i have never hydroplaned hitting puddles in wet weather. Look into them. They really are great tires. Hope this helped.

Honda Accord vs. Civic?

-Which car seems to be better? planning on buying one of the two..As others have said-the Accord is bigger with a MUCH better ride, more torque, quiter cabin, more luxury features available, but all at more money and less MPG. Its like comparing a corolla and camry, a sentra and maxima-there is no comparison. These 2 vehicles are built for completely different markets.The accord boasts more of everything in general aside from gas mileage. The civic is more of a fuel efficient econo car with all your basic needs. In my opinion I just think the new Honda Accord coupe would be a great looking car for a luxury look, but if you can drive manual and prefer a fun but higher quality civic I would get the 0'11 civic Si
The civic is smaller, small engine, better gas milage. Accord is a lot nicer, sleaker, rides smoother, bigger engine and gas tank. I have a 2010 accord coupe and its soo nice. It's also more expensive. But looks sooooooooooooo good.
the accords are much nicer, im my opinion.

Its a car normal sized car, n has better reliability. The civics are more prone to problems.

But no matter which one you pick, Honda is one of the best auto makers of all time
The Civic is smaller and costs less. "Better" is subjective but many people (and Honda) would probably say that the Accord is better.
I have a civic and I LOVE it. 120,000 miles on it and the only thing I've ever had to do to it is change the oil and get new wipers. Runs perfectly still like its brand new.

How many miles can i get on a full tank on a toyota corolla 09?

-i want to know this because i just bought a toyota corolla 2009 with 42,000 miles on it. how many miles per gallon does it get? and how many miles can i drive on a full tank before i have to refill? i get paid weekly because i work, so i want to know just how much fuel will cost me weekly. i dont do heavy driving i drive local, but id just like to know how many miles i can get on a full tank of gas with average-moderate driving.You will probably get about 25 mpg on 18 gallons which is 450 miles.

BMW E30 Power Steering fluid?

-Hey I have a 89' BMW E30 325i sedan. I was wondering what type of power steering fluid I should use? Brands? Type? Etc..Just use Dexron 3 fluid. That is probably what was used from factories as most older BMW's specific 'ATF' for the steering system.

First Car Question - is Jeep a good choice?

-I was thinking of buying my first car this summer. My dream vehicle would be an older, two-door, pitch black jeep with some steel radial tires and a wicked sound system.



How much would this cost?

Also, what's the best Jeep make? Fuel efficiency? (I assume it's pretty low) Life expectancy? Et cetera.



Just looking for some general advice/stories about jeeps!Lets see it is a very bad everyday car because it has very uncomfortable suspension and you feel every bump on the road they have very little to no electronics even most of their models today come with manual windows! Its 2011 cmon! the quality is sh*t they use more plastic than a rc car! And their engines are a little bit more reliable than a beetle's! All these were except Grand Cherokee which is a car that has no place in the jeep family it is confy reliable fast and comes with everything standard!

If you have to buy a jeep at least buy the grand cherokee or buy a chevy or a gmc which offers alot more for the same if not less price!
I don't know how much it would cost, but I had a Jeep but it had terrible gas mileage. I had a Grand Cherokee 1995 and I LOVED it. The only issue I had was bad gas mileage until I recently got in a bad accident in it and it rolled. But besides that, my family had the car since 1995 and it still runs - despite the crash. It got like 13mpg on average though. They're fun cars but not very economical.
I have no idea what these people are talking about, I purchased a 2002 Wrangler for my daughter to take to collage in Maine. 100,000 miles later its still a great running vehicle. Are you going to get 40 mpg? No, Like anything else there is give and take in a vehicle purchase. If you live in Florida do you need 4 wheel drive? Chances are no. If your in Maine, NH or Canada? Probably having the option of 4 wheel drive would be good to have. You don't see too many of those Battery powered cars in a screaming snow storm. We expect to get 200,000 miles out of this bad boy.
definitely is the Honda Civic V-Tec built-in that will suit your needs, do not purchase other over expensive car for your first car, listen to me and you will not go wrong.
Uhh. With the economy now-a-days a Jeep would be a bad choice because the the gas mileage.

My tranny fluid is a little black in my 2002 Ford Focus?? What can I do to help it?

change it bro it should be fine after that

Pasenger air bag 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix?

-Where the hell does it come out of?Depends on what airbag your talking about. For the passanger side dash airbag it literally will rip right out of the dash right above the glove box in between the 4 vents where the word AIRBAG is indented in the dash and yes the airbag ruins the dash when used on the 07 grandprix for side air bags it will deploy from the roof where it says airbags if equipped I get how it can be confusing because the dash is completely smooth with no pre cut spots but for your future reference on every car where it says airbag that is where the airbag is at and will deploy from.The word Airbag will appear on the dash per it's location.



The right front passenger鈥檚 airbag is in the instrument

panel on the passenger鈥檚 side.

Can anyone who owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra give me your reviews on it?

-I just bought, or leased, a Nissan Sentra that I plan on buying when my lease is up in 3 years. Obviously I couldn't back out now anyway, but what are some reviews on this car so I know what to look for? So far there are no huge negative complaints about it. There are some things that I find strange. But it could be in my head, haha. Thanks!

Are the batteries of early 2000s Toyota Priuses still able to hold a reasonable charge?

-The 12 volt auxiliary battery in most of the first generation (2001-2003) Prius cars will be around the end of life expectancy now. 8 years seems to be the limit for those. The first generation main battery has a more indefinite life expectancy, with about 200K miles and an indefinite number of years showing a rise in failures. I have not heard of any going beyond 300K miles but I haven't been paying much attention.



My wife's 2002 has about 120K miles on it so it is no surprise it is not showing any sign of battery weakness. My 2002 has about 148K miles and also shows no sign of weakness. We rather often make the 17 mile climb from Camp Verde north on the I-17 onto the Mogollon rim, so if the capacity were decreasing it would be apparent.The 12 volt auxiliary battery in most of the first generation (2001-2003) Prius cars will be around the end of life expectancy now. 8 years seems to be the limit for those.

Most car batteries only last about 4 years or so. Less if they are left to run out of charge. If it is the original battery and is 11 years old, its probably worth just buying a new battery or you might find the battery will die very quickly.
Not if they are the original batteries. No rechargeable batteries last eleven years.

Mazda 626 diesel power loss?

-how can I tell if the turbo works?

Is my gas mileage what it should be?

-I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, I decided that I wanted to see how many miles I could get on a single tank if I "babied" it, meaning no fast starts, no racing around, no speeding, stuff like that... I'm at half a tank with my trip odometer at 200 miles, which means 400 miles to a tank and my fuel capacity is 17.7 Gal ... is this as good as i can get it, or can I get even more out of my car and how? ......also, I have heard that it is okay to run the A/C high and it not effect gas mileage because of the newer technology, is that true?Converting your car to lpg gas is deffinately a good idea, with petrol at 拢1.37 now gas is deff a better plan. But you have been told wrong, gas uses just as much as petrol, so turn it off. Try to guess stopping so you don't use breaks and no speeding and get into 5th as soon as doing 25/30 mph. Also turn radio off and take all weight out of car including soar tyre if you can.

How long will a 2002 Civic Si last?

-Im thinking about buying a 2002 Honda Civic Si for the a used car dealer. It is in pretty good condition. No Mods. My only concern is that it has 130,000 miles. How many years will it last if i buy it.It's not the miles OR the years, it's how well the owner maintains it and how it was driven, along with how it was broken in. Most owners are unaware of how to properly break in an engine, so we can assume it was not broken in properly. They probably followed the owners manual, which, contrary to popular belief, is NOT the right way for engine longevity or power.

If it was well maintained, the engine should last for a good long time.

If it was not well maintained, it could go out at any time.
It's more miles than years. I own a Honda Civic 2002, and it has 194k. I commute a long distance for work, but despite all the miles my Civic runs well. Ask the dealer for the carfax and maintenance records.

V6 supercharged or v8?????????????

-If i was to put a super charger on a v6 charger/mustang ect. would it be as quick as the v8? Also would the engine wear out quicker on the v6? anything else would be helpful thank youits all in the tune if you have the right tune you'll be fine but the wrong tune you can crack your pistons forced induction isnt a joke you have to be careful but if done right the supercharged would be faster and you can get smaller pulleys and stuff
Yes especially on a mustang, their engines wear out very quickly, after 100,000
I would get a V8!!! my brother got a V6 mustang and regretted it and then he got the V8
v10

Im looking at buying a 2003 mitsubishi galant that has 135,000 miles on it. Is that too much?

Used 2009 Toyota Corolla has missing features...??!!!?

-I have just bought a used 2009 Corolla S. The used car price matched kelley blue book (before the fees) so i made sure I want being cheated. No money down. I did notice something odd about the car but could not figure it out (you will find out, below). Clean carfax history (had 2 owners). 1st owner made a fleet purchase (whatever the hell that is), and the second owner only used it for 6 months, and then traded it in or a Chevrolet, which is where i bought the car, at a chevrolet dealership.



But when i brought the car home my boyfriend pointed out that is has:

1. No rear spoiler (that's what was missing!). There aren't even slots for it. That feature is supposed to be standard.

2. The rims are not steel, they are just regular hubcaps with the Toyota Logo on it.



--It has all other features that a corolla S has except those two.

Can anyone tell me WHY would a Corolla S not have spoilers? DId it get stolen from the other owners? DId the original owner not want a spoiler? (why would you not want one?!)



I'm upset and now I want money deducted from the final car price.

I got the car 2 days ago, and it says in contract that I have 20 day to dispute the car.



Wil the dealership deduct money from the final price? Or not care? I am going there TODAY

How do you replace a brake light switch on a 1995 Lexus ES300?

-Currently my issue is that my brake lights constantly stay on whether I have the engine running or not. My assumption would be the brake light switch. I never had to repair that before so I have no idea how to do so. Any ideas on how to do so or what else it could be would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.Not 100% this is the same thing as a brake light switch



Replace STOP LIGHT SWITCH



Remove instrument panel No. 1 undercover.

On ES300 models , remove lower instrument panel pad and air duct.

On all models, remove brake pedal return spring.

Disconnect connector, then remove switch attaching nut and switch.

What bigger engine could i put in my 94 ford probe gt?

-Mazda KL-ZE. It might not be bigger, but it is better. It's still a 2.5L DOHC V6, but it makes 200hp stock and has much better support than the grunt KL-03 that came in it.



There are a number of ford probe forums, just google them, and you'll find all the information you could ever want on Probes/Mazda MX-6. Remember, the MX-6 and the Probe are twins, same car.The problem with the Probe is that it is FWD, therefore space is very limited at front, you are much better getting Forced Induction, you can try a car performance simulator to check mods to your probe, and simulate how it would improve! without risking money, try first, then buy!.



Check it at http://www.nxgtrsim.com
Man I think you might run out a pretty exhaustive search of the internet before you find the weird soul that has done an engine swap into a 94 Ford Probe. You can sell that thing for junk steel and put about about 2 bills down on an old crown vic or something.

-I have a 1992 Corolla DX and I have to replace the transmission. What would the price differential be for the transmissions?You have got to be kidding me!

Changing the transmission will probably worth more than the whole car and why would you want a manual on a corolla?

Manual is for 3 reasons

Performance- Corolla has nothing to do with it!

Gas Saving- Corolla allready offers enough and wont be enhanced much anyways

Cheaper- Its still going to be more than your car and converting it will double the price!



Converting your car will cost around 6k atleast! You can get a decent car that offers you alot more than a corolla in every aspect.

My Mercedes says check battery and alternator.heard a wheezing sound and smelled something.What does it mean?

-You need to list the model, year, engine type and mileage for anyone to accurately answer your question.



Based only off of what you have written so far, Id say your alternator belt is slipping and not spinning the alternator enough to charge the battery, that would also explain the smell and possibly the wheezing sound.It means you'll be lucky if you can get your car started with out a jumper cable... You will need a new alternator and then you'll need to charge your battery
Check for a broken serp belt, and check the idler tension pulley its probably froze up New belt and tensioner
Your alternator fried

Can someone compare a 1989 and a 1992 nissan 240sx for me?

-I am trying to learn more about the 240sx s13 and need some help comparing.

Shall we use 4.2L V8 TDI engine in mid range car?

-normally this engine applies on luxury and sporty, but is there a option to fit this in mid sized compact regardless of its price?1st off there's nothing sporty about a diesel.. Secondly, the logistics of putting the Audi 4.2L which is longitudely mounted in all it's current applications, in a compact car which would likely have a transversely mounted engine, would be very difficult. The cost of the project would likely exceed the value of of the car 5 or 6 times over. I'm sure it can be done with enough money. But it's not a practical idea at all. The chassis would have to be extensively modified to fit the engine, a new suspension would be required, and there would be many custom one-off parts needed.

What years do part's exchange on a 1997 cherokee?

-Generally the 1997-2001 (same body style) parts will inter-change. However this is not always the case as there were minor changes within this era as well. Examples include the 2000 and 2001 models got a coil on plug ignition rather than a distributor and they also received a low pinion front Dana 30 where all previous models had the high pinion Dana 30. Also the intake manifolds may have changed a bit as well.

What's the best/fastest honda civic?

-I'm confused with cx, crx, si etc. and all that bullsht

1990-2000It depends what country you live in, but the fastest and best stock civic available in those years is the EK9 civic Type-R, 1996-2001, it was sold in Japan only, but plenty have been privatly imported all over the world. The fastest is the Racebase version, it comes with a seam welded chassis (same chassis as the EK4 VTi of europe, and the SiR of japan, same as the Si coupe in the US, just a hatchback, just improved over the EK4 chassis) thicker ARB, lighweight windscreen, lighweight rims, no carpet, no electrics and no parcel shelf (but a regular version with electrics etc is available).



it comes with the B16B 1.6 DOHC VTEC engine, that produces 185 bhp, and revs to 9000 rpm, it uses custom high-comp pistons, lightened cams, forged and balanced crankshaft, lighweight valves and more, and has a LSD gearbox, bigger brakes then the Si/VTi and 5-stud hubs

good forum here to learn more



http://www.ek9.org/



otherwise, the Si is the next best, or VTi if you live in europe, with the 160 BHP 1.6 engine, you'll find the older ones are a bit quicker as their smaller, like the EG6 civic VTi/Si. the CRX isn't a civic, but they quick aswell.go with honda civic hybrid.



Price :- Ranges from 21- 21.5 lacs



Completely designed with an aggressive sporty look, Honda motors introduces Honda Civic Hybrid - a symbol of luxury, power, value and style. Incorporated with all the best possible features, it is a car for every application. Style takes up a new definition with Civic Hybrid.



Exteriors and Interiors:



* Hybrid-specific aluminium wheels

* Aerodynamic Trunk Spoiler

* Micro-antenna

* A powerful engine

* Remote power door locks

* state-of-art integrated audio system

* Best quality Leather seats

* Sporty Cockpits
While none of those year civics are fast (really, no civic is fast, not stock or mildly modified without some sort of forced induction), the quickest in the US will be the 99-00 Civic Si. It barely runs 15s in 1/4 mile, it's 2700lbs and only 160hp, 111ft-lb torque and loses to 130hp ford escorts, but with what you're asking, that's the quickest one.
if you live in the us probably a S2000 but i mean civic are easy cars to build and pretty cheap too. Like you can buy a $3000 dollar hatchback and like spend another 2k on an engine and im pretty sure that car would fly too!
The S2000. The Si is comparable, but it isn't as fast.

I wanna buy my first car a 2005 scion tc it has 139,000 miles on it is that good or bad. is it too many miles?

-Please help!They want $8 thousand dollars for a 2005 Scion with 139,000 miles. Homie thats a rip off and they know it. A 2005 is too new of a car with such high mileage not to mention the price hell no
That's a lot of miles for such a short period.



That's over 23,000 per year.



It all depends on the price.

Does anybody know this car?

-So I was watching that game show, "It's Worth What?" on NBC and they showed this car that was worth over 2 million dollars! It started with a V, I'm pretty sure and it was a 1970 model. Did anybody happen to catch the name or know what car I'm talking about? It's bugging me!its Bugatti
bugatti veyron

I myself hate automatics I preferably drive manuals but why not make the best of what u got ....Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords had a project focus that ran 13s with an automatic and a turbo...

Pontiac : What happens to the resale value ?

-GM has closed Pontiac now,makes me wonder,will it affect the resale value of the cars ? Will Pontiac owners be able to get its genuine parts ?Yes, you can still get Pontiac parts from GM, alot of the newer cars used parts off of other GM cars too. The drive trains were widely used between several GM models other than Pontiac.

Newer Pontiacs like the G8 or the GTO's are holding their value pretty well. Older Pontiacs are on the rise. but they were on the rise before the shutdown. My TransAms 79' and 80' have doubled in value over the past few years.J, what models are "rapidly appreciating in value"? They're not, aside from the G8 and that's a big maybe.



Anyway, yes you can still get Pontiac parts.
Some models are already rapidly appreciating in value. Many parts used on Pontiacs were used in other GM automobiles,plus you can still find plenty at local auto parts stores and on Ebay & in salvage yards..

Peugeot Finance - Annual Service Query?

-I have a peugeot 107, and its due for its 2nd service in 2 years, which is fine.

I have called to book it in, and they now want me to pay 拢199.99 for a full blown service. Last year it was 拢189.99, and the year before it was 拢149!!

Now, i can go elsewhere but need to go somewhere which has approved Peugeot parts and is VAT registered.

As silly as it sounds, has anyone had a car on finance and gone elsewhere to get it serviced? I want to keep the car at the end of my 3 year agreement next year....so i cant see a problem, other than if something goes wrong with my car which was undertaken in the service, Peugeot wont cover it under their warranty! Please help. Elsewhere for a top notch service, in Kwikfit or Mr Clutch are charging 拢165 max!!!



Thanksi used to be a peugeot salesman and the rules changed to allow any garage to service your car provided your service book was stamped and proper parts were used, (including non-peugeot parts).

it's just a racket so service the thing anywhere you want, it will not invalidate your warranty. EU rules.
Are you for real?

Did your transport fares not rise compared to last year?

Did your rent not rise from last year?

Did the cost of your petrol not rise since last year?

The rise you speak of - 拢10 more than last year - is actually very reasonable.

You're obviously not living in the real world
That's a perfectly reasonable price for a main dealer service.

Never take a car to KwikFit or Halfrauds for a service, they use cheap parts and will add on all sorts of charges at the end.
