I am not a mechanic, but this is in regards to a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica with a 6 cylinder engine that has 138,000 miles on it, is still in very good condition, and has always had Mobil 1 synthetic oil. It is my contention that the PCV valve, on an engine this old, is likely to decrease the engine...

I have a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica with a 6 cylinder engine. The freon leaked out over the winter. Wal-Mart has recharge kits that contain R-134 freon. Is R-134 the correct type for this car? Also, which is the low pressure line, the one with the blue plastic cap that is located under the radiator...

The electric radiator fan quit working on my 94 Chevy Corsica 6 cylinder. In order to test the fan I thought I should unplug the 2-wire plug from the sensor that is screwed into the block and jumper the 2 wires together at the plug to see if the fan comes on. Am I on the right path with this? (I...

My friend has a 2004 Volkswagen. She began hearing a noise coming from underneath the car. She took it to a mechanic that is listed in the yellow pages and he told her that the flex tube is damaged. He told her that Volkswagen sells the entire unit for around $1,000.00 but that he can cut the...

My 1994 Chevrolet Corsica is putting out lukewarm air from the heater. I installed a new 190 degree thermostat with no improvement. I have verified that very hot water is being sent to the heater core from the water pump. I know that the vacuum-controlled "flaps" in the air duct are working...

This is in regards to a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica with a 6 cylinder engine and 165,000 miles. I bought the car new in 1994 and have always used Mobile-1 synthetic oil with regular changes and have taken very good care of it. It has always ran smoothly with no problems. A few days ago I started the...

What is a bleeder line? If one is broken, what effect may it have? I was told several months ago that I have a broken bleeder line on one of my front brakes but I've continued driving the car with no problems. Just curious. Thanks

I am looking for a used headlight assembly for a 1988 Ford F-250. Does anyone know if other years of Ford pickups are interchangeable with the 1988? Are they all the same for F-150, 250, and 350? Will a Bronco headlight assembly fit an F-250? I am looking at car-part.com and I see many listings...

Please tell me if this sounds right. The left front brake began squeaking on my 1994 Chevrolet Corsica. I know that this often means that the brake pad is wearing down, so I took the car to a local repair shop and dropped it off. Later in the day the mechanic called me and said that it needs...

Does anyone know what would cause the electric radiator fan to come on within a minute or so of starting a cold engine and staying on the entire time the car is being driven? Sometimes it only takes a few seconds after starting the engine until it comes on. It is keeping the engine very...

On a 94 Beretta with a 6 cylinder engine there is a radiator bypass hose going from the water outlet to the coolant reservoir that runs hot coolant into the reservoir. Will someone please tell me why the bypass hose is there? I see no need for it but I know it must be there for a purpose. Thanks.
