One of my cars keeps leaking the freon out over a period of about 2 months. I didn't find any obvious leaks and put some dye in a couple months ago. Went to drive the car yesterday and the AC wasn't working again. Got out my UV flashlight and went looking for leaks. Could not find anything...

'04 Cavalier. The converter outlet coupling failed - the bolts broke, and the bolt holes in both flanges are pretty much useless. Given the age of the car, and the cost of replacing all the components, I thought to use a couple of split flanges instead. But, I'm having a lot of trouble finding...

Hello, Have a relatively new Outback, and has received some "light" scratches on the door panel, probably in parking lot. Scratches are 2 to 3 inches long, and quite light (thin). Nowhere where I would consider re-painting the panel for. But, annoying.

I've got 96,000 on my Nissan. I live in a region where the streets freeze up and the roads crack. I try to dodge every manhole cover and rough patch of road. How long would my ball joints

I had a tie rod to steering arm ball joint wear out. It was rattling when braking, not during normal steering. Only when rapidly flicking though a chicane would you hear a knock. The mechanic reckoned that braking actually puts more load on the tie rod than steering. He said under a panic stop,...

How tough is it to change the power steering line on a 2003 F150? The leak looks like it's coming from a rusty line. Changing it looks pretty straightforward but I thought I would check before I got into it. Thanks,

I had a used engine fitted and the greasemonkey's invoice includes $100 for radiator coolant. But I think he has used the cheapest classic car coolant (no glycol) maybe even water with some green colouring in it. So if ethlyne glycol has SG 1.1 then a 33% mix should test as SG 1.033 Is this a...

Well, we need hybrid automotive systems which only have the purpose of making a lightweight four-wheel-drive. The four-wheel-drive would operate when accelerating, when at high RPM, and when pulling away from a stop. And this assistance that it provides for pulling away from a stop is where it...

Greetings! 1999 Mercury Sable wagon - 168,000 miles Sometimes after running the car around town, I return to the car, only to not be able to start it. I turn the key, all dash lights are on - no crank, no start, nothing. I hear the fuel pump charge, but that's it. I've had this problem for a few...

There's a certain thin range of voltage that is bad for BMWs where the instrument cluster goes haywire, and that voltage is in the opposite of the Goldilocks Zone. That is, instead of it being not too hot and not too cold, which would be a good thing for a Goldilocks Zone... the voltage is just...

1948 Pontiac, straight 8 Had to move the exhaust system about an inch to get to the rear engine mounts. System was installed (welded) by a muffler shop as one continuous exhaust pipe, muffler and tail pipe. Pain in the rear to remove all the hangars and the exhaust manifold/pipe connection in...

1948 Pontiac Carter 2brl. Professionally rebuilt 12 years ago, driven 2000 miles and unused since. Idles nicely. Severe hesitation (stall) if pedal slightly depressed. All speeds. Only way to pull away in an intersection is to stomp on the gas. Replaced accelerator pump, no change. Swapped...
