How can I check it and possibly fix it myself before I have to bring it to a mechanic?? Any help possible would be great! Thanks & Happy holidays

Our Camry had to have the struts and support assemblies replaced at 69,000 miles because it was impossible to hold it on the road. The dealer charged $1050 to fix the problem. My old 1989 Ford truck never had struts or shocks replaced and it had over 150,000 miles. We also have a 1992 Toyota [...]

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I got it with about 40K miles on it and at about 80K I had one accident where the front passenger side wheel assembly was detached from the car. I got it back and it was running great. A couple years later (now has [...]

I’ve been looking for a car, and I am currently considering the Mazda 3 and Honda Civic. Both cars seem to be well built and solid. The Mazda 3, however, does have an edge on looks and sportiness compared to the fuel efficient and reliable Civic. Both are decent in crash tests so thats not [...]

The engine has been swapped into a 1993 hatchback i want to get. He said the engine has around 150,000 miles on it but just replaced the distributor and just want to know if there are any expensive things that commonly break on these engines at this amount of miles?

In general Honda engines have a reputation for being good solid and very reliable engines. From car engines, to motor cycle engines, to lawn mowers, to eclectic generator engines. Lets face it, there is a reason why people will pay a little extra for a lawn mower or an electric generator with a Honda engine [...]

I know that the Vw toureg engine is being used in the base porsche cayeen suv too

We’ve been having continual problems with TPMS malfunctioning and are going to use the lemon law to either get a replacement or $$$. It’s been serviced over 5 times in the past year and each time it’s only good for one day.
We want to get a sense of whether a replacement vehicle from Hyundai/Kia [...]

1999 Ford Escort: Problem comes and goes but turning on the heater keeps blowing the wiper fuse. Both normaly work fine until a fuse goes then after a few replacements the car is good again for a few weeks. The heater is not listed as being on the same lead as the wipers so the [...]

You ever come across a situation where you know even a layman would have more common sense than to design a product a certain way?
Like my Jeep Cherokee. Did you know that you can’t change the radiator coolant without taking off the car’s front grill? The drain plug is behind the front grill, for God’s [...]

I just bought a Nissan Sentra 2001 GXE with only 25000km. The power steering is quite stiff and it feels like a manual one. My wife complaint about it and says it is hard for her to turn the wheel drive.

Its a manual transmission . I know many car models have common problems , I heard they have a problem with there clutches. Getting rid of a 2000 626 which is a lemon ans mazda parts too expensive.

Dear All,
I would like to know what are the commone problems to look out for in a BMW 316i Coupe (1997-1999)?
And Also is the steering wheel adjustment for the E36 bMW’s rake and reach adjustments?
Many Thanks,
Emily

Yes it is common. I had the ones in the front done at 29k. The OEM brake pads and rotors are softer than most others. They do this because they provide incredible braking power compared to the others. The trade off to this is increased brake dust (you notice this because your wheels are always [...]

I looked at an 1997 M3 today and everything looked good but the only problem was that the car wouldn’t start. The only way it would start was with a jumpstart. I then kept the engine running for a good amount of time and turned off the car to see if the problem was fixed. [...]
