Mercedes 300TE cam timing by
Merc300te
I am working on a 1989 300te. Replaced the head gasket, and a broken
timing chain. I am currently trying to set the timing. It looks to me
like the 'tiny dot' is a timing mark. Aligning that with the one on
the bearing cap puts the 'timing mark' on the gear in the right place
(if you trust the...

ABC News Video: What to do if your car runs out of control by
john

vacuum reserve and end up without effective braking as the engine
accelerates out of control.
With the zig-zag shifter, practice shifting into neutral in a safe
area first. It may not be as simple as pushing the shifter forward...

While I was replacing the supercharger belt and serpentine belt on my
Grand Prix, I tried spinning all of the pulleys by hand.
The serpentine belt tensioner pulley and the 3" supercharger idler

Brake warning light on 1998 Ford Escort by
Bill Kinkaid
It's been coming on intermittently for a couple of weeks, just flashes
once and goes off every few days. I've checked the fluid and it looks
fine. The pads are still about 40% and brakes are working fine,
including a panic stop I had to make last week. My suspicion is just a
short or a loose...

can new tires really reduce mileage? by
Tom[_32_]
I'd think that new tires = greater traction = less mileage
but my 2002 3.1L Buick Century V6 went from ~32mpg to ~27mpg hiway. Can new
