Greetings, fellow humans. I'm in possession of one '92 Toyota Previa with A/C that needs filling badly. The thing is that it has been using refrigerant of the type "R13". And the a/c filling shops around here all claim never having heard of such. Their response is along the lines: "It's R12, not...

For the oil and / or the gas tank ? Thanks in advance..

Hello, Thinking of purchasing a new 2009 Buick LaCrosse. Re the On-Star system. Seems awfully pricey (after the first year) Also seems like a regular in dash GPS makes a lot more sense, as it would give

I went looking for motorcraft plugs for my 87 Lincoln. Three major parts stores said there is no more motocraft, its all now autolite. Can I assume that an autolite plug is 100% the same as the motorcraft plug that was installed at the factory in 1987? Are the new Ford/Lincoln cars now assembled...

This is worse and worse with my 2001 Chev Impala. Using wipers when raining could make the windshield look even more blurred, making the driving on rainy days very tough. Maybe the wiper blades need to be changed? or could be the windshield glass surface needs special cleaning? Thanks, John

Hi everyone, I would like to start a discussion on the use of anti seize on vehicle lug nuts. Searching the net, there are people that claim to have used anti seize on lug nuts for many years with no problems, and some people that advise against it. I have two main questions I would like to...

I've never noticed this but at least today after driving for about 40 minutes I could see some liquid(probably water judging from looks) leaking from under car just about where front wheels are. I've used AC so maybe it's just the case of condensation etc but can anyone please confirm that this is...

Been overheating. As some of you may have read, I tried the Headgasket in a bottle trick. It seemed to be working but when I took it out for a little cruise tonight it overheated. Here's what happens: The car will go along for a few miles just fine, small rises and dips in temperature, and then...

'90 Supra with a 7MGE non-turbo. New fan clutch, radiator, thermostat, water pump, fresh rebuild on the engine. Radiator and overflow tank filled to correct levels. After a few miles of running, the gauge shows it running well on the hot side. However, when I turn it off and immediately restart,...

The car: 1982 Mazda 626 that just turned over 189501 on the odometer. 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine driving a 5 speed stick. The symptoms: Was driving normally until I stepped down hard on the gas for a pass on the way to town this morning. Chugged, shook, acted "unhappy", power *WAY* below...

Yah have to be kidding. Yesterday I popped for a runout gauge, and was all confident that when the need arises, I can measure rotor warp and runout without any problem. Until, I got to the "Specifications" part of my Workshop Manual, in which it says:

I'm generally opposed to "tort reform" for a lot of reasons but one exception needs to be carved out for humanity to survive: If someone's supercap or Li ion battery explodes, trial lawyers will never see more than $100K per head. Bret Cahill

Buying versus Leasing A Car If you are considering whether to buy or perhaps lease your next car and which would afford you the best deal, most consumer experts agree that from a purely financial aspect you will be better off in buying your next car. Of course paying cash in full is the best...

When I opened up the caliper to replace the disc pad, a lot of the brake fluid was drained from the caliper's chamber when I squeezed the piston back in place. I notice that there was a air valve stub on the top of the inner caliper. At the time I didn't know what it was for. When I have put the...

In my local paper is an O'Reilly ad offering a maximum of 6 quarts of Quaker State oil (Q Torque and Q Advance) for /free/ after rebate. Each quart is regularly $5.69. Q Torque and Q Advance are the good stuff, the synthetic Quaker State. A $35 value totally free after mail-in rebate. I get the...

Was stopped by a woman today who told me that my brake lights were not working. There are three of them and NONE are working! I cant imagine all three bulbs going out at same time so checked for any blown fuses but they looked OK to me. So.... it has to be a relay or maybe switch in the brake...
