A lot of lpg vehicles are dual fuel, I think someone had a Saab in AI questions thread that wouldn't kick into lpg because a sensor was bad and and some kind of temp was reading too cold so it would only run on liquid gasoline.

bolind posted:Newer ones? Around here, people buy old cars of that size and then poo poo a brick when they hear that a single tire is the price of a full set for the Corolla they had previously. X5's and Cayennes now hit the mark of Cheap enough for the poors to buy a 10 year old one. My work parking lot have been recently filling with these and I know why: (It's not like I work at a place where the majority makes bank. I"m probably in teh top 10% of earners in the building and I don't earn that much. ). People buy them because "HEY I can get a Cayenne/x5 for less than a 2013 civic, time to live the baller style life I wanted 10 years ago when they were 70k!" Drive them on the tires that came form the used dealer which were probably passable at the time, and don't align it because they can only barely afford the car. Shop says you need tires sometimes soon.. that'll be $1,200 Continues to drive on bald poo poo tires with no alignment until tax money comes.

jamal posted:Wear bars on brake pads? How does that work? You do usually have a little tab that squeals, but they don't always get installed, or put on the right side so they just pop off. But the people that let the pads fall out of the caliper probably aren't going to notice that anyway. Yeah that's what I'm talking about, that little tab.

Yes there was a tsb but sure sucked parking my car one night, then. It going into work the next morning because my fuel system stopped working. Both rear wheel bearings died prematurely, like within 35k. What I listed was the stuff that was wrong what I listed was fixed for free except for the bearings, either the tsb/recall didn't really extend that far, or I forgot to check for one before replacing.

Discount tire = Mavis discount tire? I will never go back, I tried to take a tire off because they failed me on brakes (which I knew was good). I was standing and jumping on the breaker bar to get the lugs loose. I called and asked the store I'd they actually used the torque sticks that they had hanging behind the counter or if they were for display only.. they told me they always use them and have a video of each Bay so they are sure their mechanics always use them. A 200lb person bounce on a lug wrench should not be required to break the lugs free after a 5 min drive. They failed my safety inspection(why I was taking the tired off) for brakes with 'excessive rounding' I asked what the gently caress they meant and they gave me some bullshit answer, got it inspected 30 min later somewhere else and had no issues. gently caress that place in the rear end.

tetrapyloctomy posted:I literally knew nothing about this until four days ago, since I'm thinking of getting a water softener and RO unit installed. Apparently people have run their RO water lines to their on-demand hot-water taps at their sink, with subsequent catastrophic failure of the copper holding tank. I had a softener kill a washing machine because it sped up the galvanic corrosion. Thank you Whirlpool for using an aluminum "spider gear/arm" on your stainless steel washing machine drum.

Never have I ever rebuilt a Type 1 VW engine then had to write in all my reference books in sharpie "distributor installed 180* reverse firing order" Not even once have I done this. Also gently caress those god damned split cases bearings I bought like 4 sets because one would manage to move when I put the case back together. edit: the mechanical failure is coming from inside the thread

My buddy was talking to me today in the lunch line. Buddy: Went to mow my lawn yesterday and it was blowing smoke like crazy, I've got to take it into the shop on lunch tomorrow. I thought there was something on fire down the street it was so smokey and it was also down on power a bit. [somewhere in this conversation he mentions something about adding oil] me: So did you change the oil or did you just add some? Buddy: Just added it it's been sitting all winter Me: Why did you add oil, did you check it and it was low? Was it leaking oil, why did you add oil? Also Sometimes mowers that have been sitting will have some seepage so it may be normal for it to blow a bit of smoke after sitting all winter. Buddy: well it felt a little down on power too.. I think I"ve lost compression or something. Me: When you added the oil was it low on oil? When you filled it was it low or full? Buddy: It wasn't too low, 1/2 way between full and empty Me: Was it halfway up the dipstick or halfway up to "full" Buddy: "It was halwfay up to full not the dipstick" He then texts me at night "I just got home, checked the dipstick the oil was way over full going to remove some tomorrow before I take it in to the shop" me: how long had you let it run About 5 mins or so. Here's to hoping he doesn't need a rebuild on the engine that was rebuilt last year because he's a dipstick.

yeah I assume he didn't murder it, It's probably a 15-20 HP mower engine. hopefully he learned his lesson. No the only time he's ever worked on his vehicle is under strict supervision from another friend who has an auto-shop. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 16:26 on May 9, 2018 |
