The wiper switch's intermittent mode does not work. It now only works with 2 speeds - fast and faster. Annoying in light rain. My mechanic says he may need to replace either the wiper switch or motor (cost is $164 and 210 for part alone) Another option is to get a second-hand part from a...

Metal content: Less every year... I bought a year old Lincoln LS automobile last January and in the past couple of weeks, as we started getting some daytime temps in the 90s here in Red Sox Nation I've been noticing an annoying film on the inside of the windshield. It's really a pain at night...

Apropos of the recent thread on rain-X removal and Glass Wax... I have a Porsche 944 which as you may know has a large, almost horizontal rear window. The problem that I have is at night it's near impossible to see through the rear window with someone following me due to glare. The lower third...

Hey, I'm going to be attending college in Fairbanks, Alaska next year, and I just bought a truck that should handle pretty well in snowy conditions. For those interested, it is a used 2000 GMC Sierra Ext. Cab K1500 4x4 with a little over 70,000 miles. It's also my first vehicle, and since I'll...

Awl-- Most auto trannies readily allow you to downshift--ie, the gear will go no higher than indicated. No problem. First Q: How is a forced downshift accomplished, from both mechanical and 'pyooter povs? Q 2.: Wouldn't forcing a upshift--ie, the gear will go *no lower* than indicated--be...

To solve the problem that a beginner may accidentally press the gas pedal when he means to step on the brake, I think one easy way is to replace the spring holding the gas pedal with one with a higher force constant. Once he's driven the car for some months, change it back. This won't prevent the...

My Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 4 Cylinder has 54K. I've noticed no performance or transmission problems. When I checked the transmission fluid it was brown with no burned smell. Without doing the pan, I drained it and refilled. I drove it 20 minutes and rechecked it. It was still somewhat brown, so...

Is there a way to balance wheels at home without a computer baalancer? I have seen at harbor freight kits designed for motorcycle tires, bubble balancers and the like. I have heard bubble balancers are not acurate. Does anyone have any idea on "good" redneck ways to do this? I dont live near a...

I have a 99 Nissan Maxima at 130k. The power steering fluid has never been replaced. I went to the dealer to buy some power steering fluid, and they gave me a Nisan ATF fluid and insist that it is what they use for power steering fluid. I checked the owner's manual and it says "Dexron III or...

Have any studies been done regarding how a few ounces of kerosene added to 10 to 15 gallons of gasoline can bring noticable improvements to fuel economy? Included is a link to a product (a "combustion modifier of sorts") that was developed with support of university and applied tests....

96 Chevrolet C1500 PU 2 wheel drive power brakes, front disc, rear drum. Hi All! My truck evidently had a caliper get stuck and it quickly wore down the inner brake pad on one wheel. The master cylinder fluid was down to the bottom of the reservoir, so I wondered if I might have gotten some...

Hi, Patient is Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 Automatic -98. Before there was severe problem in transmission that caused slipping on gears 1 and 2. Some clutchdisc was broken that caused it. Thats now fixed and transmission works fine except one small but irritating problem. When driving about 70 to...

Seems that you hear a lot of buzz in the auto world about how many overhead cams something has. I hear a *LOT* of the buying public, the ones that I would essentially label as 'sheep' (no offense to them, though), talking about overhead camshafts as a 'performance' feature. These would be the same...

Have some spare oil filters that I thought were left over from an old car which I no longer have - trying to figure out if I can use them on my newer cars.

Geetings: I'm working on a project for Turbo Chargers and was wondering what your #1 question is about Turbo Chargers? Thanks for input.

I called a local independent mechanic and asked him how much labor he'd charge for working on the master brake cylinder and he told me it'd be $65 an hour. Is that a reasonable rate or is it too much? I don't really trust the auto repair franchises like Midas even though there are about 3 of...

A couple of days ago my front left corner began to creak and squeak. Quite a lot, actually. It's noisy both when bouncing the corner of the car and when steering side-to-side, so I figure a ball joint of some sort. So, here's the question: is this merely noise, or is it (I'm afraid) a symptom of a...
