City Data Automotive Forums: by

This Moderator/Admin, "PJSaturn", had a personal vendetta on me.
I recently proposed moving "Neutral" from between Reverse & Drive on Automatic transaxle

The mechanics who did my oil change found that the rack and pinion boot of
my car was torn and recommended to replace it.
They said it'll cost $1,500 to replace the steering.

I won't remember the details clearly by my '70 chevy lost a "freeze plug" in the winter 'cuz my antifreeze measure was faulty. I do remember desperately pouring water in, that had ice in it. The miracle was somebody telling of a shop that would fix it. I drove, stopping every mile or so when it...

Wal-Mart Auto Tire Scam by

OK to eliminate the PCV valve? by
j
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...

Torque Wrench Safety Question by
[email protected]
I recently bought a torque wrench - the modern shaft collar design, 20-150ft lb torque,
and the appropriate size six point sockets for the lugnuts on mine and my wife's cars.
I recently loosened and re-torqued my wife's wheel lugnuts to spec, or maybe 1lb over,
but what was really scary was how...

removing radiator stop leak by
[email protected]
A friend put in stop leak and now the heater core is blocked. Unfortunately
it is much harder to replace than radiator or thermostat (which seem to be
okay anyway). He put some detergent in the coolant and reversed the hoses,
which achieved nothing. Look through other forums, I see various...

Stop AC vent from changing positions by

My AC vents change positions rather easily which changes where the air blows.

I thought about using vaseline in the circle area, but my cars gets to
140 degrees in the sun.

hI aLL! what lateral g-force can old cars achieve? by
longtrennguoi
A modern vanilla sedan can do 0.9 g, maybe more with good tyres.
I saw a video on Youtube of some guy fitting a triangulated 4-link
suspension
to some chrome-bumper car, and managed to get 0.52 g on cornering,
which seems rather poor. Must have had sh*t tyres. Sorry, I haven't
been
able to find it...

Roof problems on renault megane cabriolet by
Karmann[_1_]
I have a 2002 megane cabriolet, had a flat battery on Monday and had to
manually close it.
Now the hatch on the boot won't open again electrically to be able to open
the roof. Renault say once the manual strap is back in it should open.
Any ideas anyone?
