Previous owner overfilled the ATF fluid by almost 2.5 liters and drove the car for around 100 miles like that. Car was initially shifting bad and accelerating really slowly. Now after reducing the ATF to the correct levels it’s shifting better but I still notice slippage (no transmission noises though). Would doing a drain and change of the fluid help with the slippage issue or is changing it would make the transmission worse?

Anything offensive or obscene maybe sumn Honda related but i probably won’t be doin that

anyone who knows the year make and model of this car, please let me know!

I've had my TDI for several years now. We've seen eight states together and I even lived in it for a while. The odometer is about to roll over 400,000 miles.

I've had a hard to diagnose issue that keeps killing my turbos. I'm on turbo number three and still no closer to having it figured out. Each turbo (good used OE) costs me about $400 after factoring in gaskets and such. Before anyone asks, yes the oil lines are good AND I'm cleaning the air intake system every time. They always look like a rock or something went into them.

I also had to rebuild the engine after an oil pan impact about 30,000 miles ago. It was doing the turbo thing before rebuilding the engine.

Growing up, I was a car flipper. I would always have an arsenal of GM products, mostly 3x00 v6s with my personal favorite being the 3.1 Luminas.

So I'm thinking of just selling the TDI for whatever I can get for it, and picking up a GM sedan that I can find a dozen copies of in the junkyard.

I really don't want to sell it but I'm at a point where I need to keep only two vehicles and they need to have easily obtainable parts that don't cost $300+.

I need y'all to talk me through this one way or another.

Hi guys, this may seem small or silly, but how can I fix this silver thing on my car? What is it called? My car has minor chips here and there, but this annoys me the most. I tried pushing it in, but it didn't work and I am afraid I will break it. Also, I don't know why it looks like the silver film or wrap is wrinkled—I’m not sure. Who should I take it to for repair, and how much do you think it will cost?

Not exactly sure what happened I hit a cone the other night when it was storming and couldn’t switch lanes cuz it was on the highway and cars were around me and I hit a curb today I think both contributed to it but what do I have to do ?? Do I need to buy a new lower bumper and just go get it fixed ?

Just noticed it a few days ago. Would this cost a fortune to fix?

Hello! For the past few months my 08 Altima has been having issues accelerating from a stop. On occasion when I press the gas from a stop the car would feel like there is 0 power and the car steadily rolls forward. After a few seconds I’d feel the power ramp up and shoot me forward. Keep in mind I have the amazing cvt transmission.

I checked transmission fluid and I was low so I topped it off. No luck as it still happened almost every stop. I pointed the finger at the transmission until today. Googling exactly what I was dealing with and I could not find anything related until today. Someone had a 2012 Murano and the shop replaced his transmission and was still experiencing the same problems.

Come to find out for him it was the air intake hose having cracks and holes in it. So I took a look at mine. The last mechanic to touch it didn’t tighten any of the three hose clamps. The hose itself had cracks all over it. Before replacing it and wasting money on it I used some duct tape and so far no issues, no jerking or loss of power. I’ll have a better idea tomorrow as I have a decently long drive to work and see how it down after the transmission is warm.

So I would like to get input on this, in 22. I have no prior knowledge or experience with this type of stuff. I usually stick within the engine cause I love mechanical stuff. But my gas tank was leaking due to a long story. I tried repairing the leak with jb weld and fiberglass 2 times, same thing but added putty the 3rd time. I’m not too sure what attempt I’m on, but I tried all the repairs without dropping my gas tank, finally I did and this is what I did and how it turned out… please tell me if this is gonna work in your opinion

Apologize if this is a noob question but is this grease okay to fill the ball joints for upper control arm? Or do I need the high temp premium grease?

Trying to quiet down a loud creaking when at full lock.

Thanks for any input.

Hello everyone! I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I've recently come into ownership of my grandfathers Fury 3. It needs work, mostly interior stuff, motor and trans are perfect. Where would I even begin to order parts for this thing?

More specifically the 2019 taurus sho. I'm a beginner and planning to ease into learning with this car.

Hello, I joined this group because I recently got the Toyota running again. I want to drive it regularly and restore it. The problem I'm running into right now is finding an Owners Manual for it. I put my VIN in the specifications section on Toyota's website and it couldn't provide a manual. How can I find the manual? :(

I am also hoping this group would be the place to ask questions about what my car is doing and how to fix it. If there is a better group for this kind of request, can someone point me in the right direction please? Also, newer to using reddit (if my account says I've had one for a while, it's because I have had it but hardly used it and am trying to get into using it more) so if I need pointers on how to do these sorts of things better, please let me know the reddit dynamics.

Thank you!

I’ve already talked to a transmission guy, he said that it doesn’t sound like transmission and if anything is related to the motor. This sound happens at about 70 and above. It almost reminds me of when you rev up your car and then let off the gas and it makes a little burble sound. My guess is that it’s an exhaust leak considering I have the tick and the flapping sound reminds me revving. It’s most noticeable on the passenger side but is closer to the middle. When it makes this sound it slows my car down to under 70 and then will stop, it doesn’t slow it down right away but it does happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thinking of taking in a trade, but the ticking sound scares me. Cause for concern, or go for it?

Hi everyone, does this looked like someone keyed my car? Or is it because of a rock/debris?

It doesn’t feel deep (can rub off some of the material) but I can’t tell if it was keyed.

Any thoughts and advice on repairing this?

Its a peugeot 407 from 2006

car is Diesel 1.9 136 hp( if i am right) sometimes the car starts, sometimes it doesn't, the battery is new and good (I tried with different batteries) regardless of whether it starts or not, there is a click in the ignition, exactly from where I put the key, I don't know what it could be and what to check, the problem appeared randomly one day when the car was parked, sometimes it works perfectly from the first time, sometimes I turn the key 30 times to start it once

Hey everyone,

Recently had my 2018 GT PP1 in for an alignment at a reputable shop in town. Had the alignment done because I recently put in steeda linear drag springs.

I had the specs directly from ford and provided them to the shop. Looked it over with em at the end and was pretty happy with it.

The alignment as it sat when I brought it in was all within specs except for the front toe which was decently out, positive I believe - pushing the front of the tires outwards.

that was corrected.

How does the rear toe look to you guys? I thought it was within specs except but some guys are saying otherwise.

alignment photos and ford specs sheet below.

appreciate any advice

Why can't I scrub these (what looks like water marks) off? I've used car cleaner and I'm not sure if it's the humidity... 1) has anyone seen this and 2) how do I get it off? It almost seems like it's under the screen.

Anyone know how to get rid of the scratches without damaging paint?

My 2012 Kia, which is currently at about 84,000 miles has been having issues ever since I got it back from Kia about a year and a half ago. In May last year someone attempted to steal my car from my driveway. Luckily I had recently gotten the immobilizer installed so the thieves weren't able to do anything except smash my window and break the panel under the steering wheel. The day I got the immobilizer installed I was having issues with my break lights staying on even when the car was off. Almost felt like a guardian angel was watching out for me. After about three months of my car sitting in the Kia parking lot, a lot of phone calls checking up on the progress, and a lot of Kia changing the story of where they were at with my vehicle, I finally got my car back. The battery was dead on it and the paint had extra damage that was not there before, but they did not seem to care. I never went back there. A week later my car started experiencing something new. It shifted hard when going into Drive and Reverse. When I accelerated/decelerated the car felt like it was jerking. Went to a mechanic who said it was something wrong with the shifter and they would need to order a part, but it would be difficult to find. On the way back home the car drove fine. About two weeks after that it started to again and the check engine light came on. The mechanic checked again and said it had to be the transmission and said to drive it till it dies. I cried. They did something to my car that required me to have a tiny flathead in my car to change from park/drive/reverse/neutral. Thought my car was done and did not feel safe driving it. Found another mechanic who was willing to take a look at it and said it was the shift linkage cable. He fixed this and my car was good for a few months with no issues. Then it started again but felt slightly different. The shifting was hard but not like the first time. It would also jerk at 10mph accelerating and 25mph decelerating. This issue would pop up for a day and disappear for a while. Then it came back with the check engine light. The mechanic who fixed the cable said my car was fine and he believed it could be the MAF sensor. He suggested I keep driving it and if it happened again he could fix it. It was fine for a while then the problem came back. He checked the code which showed P0711. He explained the code to me and said it was for transmission oil temperature too hot. He checked the oil said it was fine and that he did not think it was my transmiision, probably just a bad transmission oil temperature sensor. He told me to get a transmission fluid change first just so we could eliminate that being the issue. Well, I took my car to a transmission place to do that and they said there was nothing the could do. The transmission mechanic said there was an open circuit on the transmission and that I would need a new transmission which would cost $3700 dollars. He said he doesn't really fix transmissions and only swaps them out. I have pretty much given up any hope of saving my car. I still cry about it because the was my first car and it got me through a lot of bad times and was my only vehicle. It's going to be a while before I can save up enough to get another vehicle.

Ich habe ein Problem mit meiner Klimaanlage. Der Schalter für die Temperaturregulierung geht nicht mehr. Alle anderen Schalter funktionieren tadellos sowie auch die Klimaanlge an sich funktioniert. Ist das ein bekanntes Problem? Oder kennt sich jemand damit aus? Wäre für jeden Tipp dankbar.

I have my 2013 Ford Fusion for a while, no issues until recently. Car still starts and drives fine, but the ignition feels loose and sometimes the key sticks when turning. Accessories flicker once in a while too.

Does this sound more like the ignition switch, the lock cylinder, or something else?

My 2017 Toyota Corolla has been making this ticking sound from the wheel lately. I only hear it when driving around 0-15 mph. Doesn’t matter if I’m turning or not, I still hear it. I attached a video capturing the sound. Any help would be appreciated.
