I am thinking of rebuilding my AC compressor... So I am wondering where I can find parts and a instructions to do so....? Looked at the factory service manual and there is none. Also tried searching for parts, but have not found any so far....?

While replacing the valve cover gasket on my 2003 BMW 525i, I noticed the replacement gasket did not fit flush against the slot in the valve cover. Both the main gasket and spark plug gaskets stood up about 1/4 inch above the edge of the valve cover. In other words, the vertical gasket...

Hi everyone, Let me start by saying i am not a 'car person'. I put gas in it, drive it and change the oil in it as needed -- you know, the basics. I have no idea what things cost to repair, all i know is only expensive things break on my car. haha Anyway, yesterday it seems as though my power...

(This is my third posting - start with the last one below and read up if you want the history.) Swapping ignition coils between the two cars didn't solve the problem. Nor did replacing the fuel filter. The air filter was replaced not too long ago and is very clean. I also added some Heet (water...

When I use my 1978 Dodge van, (318 cubic inch engine automatic transmission) the longest distance I ever drive round trip is about 14 miles to a veterinary supply store for dog food.The other two places I drive to average (round trip) are 8 miles (tobacco store) and 6 miles (food store).Which...

I need a powerful lawnmower, so I need advice how to turn an automobile into a lawnmower. What do I need ?

Those small projector headlights on a lot of Acuras, BMWs, etc. are supposed to give a brighter, focused beam that helps the driver, but what about other people's ability to see you? Being seen can be as important as seeing the road. A lot of times they look like evil snake eyes that don't really...

the middle bottle ("resonator") in my A4 B6 is toast beyond repair and there does not seem to be an aftermarket can available. So before I bring $450 US to the local audi dealer I should ask this: is there a catalytic converter on the way out or anything else? I'd rather understand why the rear...

My ac system started leaking, but no signs of oil could be found. So the NAPA store recommended I try Red Angel ac stop leak. $38. per can. Money back guarantee. I tried it. 24 hours later the gas had leaked out of the system again. Anyone else tried this product? Did it work or not?

Please give me the steps of removal and installation for timing chain on Buick La Sebra 3.8 V6 engine. Lehel

Sorry to keep bugging everyone about this, but I just don't know. 77 dodge van 318. On startup ammeter needle swings from full charge to midrange. Loud squealing when ammeter needle swings to full charge. Noise goes away after engine warms up. I think I tried tightening the belt long time ago and...

I have been thinking about trading out of my American iron, and going with something more economical. We have long discussed here how Toyota and Honda seem to have the edge on lower priced cars for economy, quality and dependability. But it seems to me that Honda has had its share of...

Surprised that GM didn't drop Cadillac. From my experience I find that Lincoln Town Car is greatly preferred to full size Cadillacs. The general consensus is that Cadillac is junk, inferior even to Chevrolet. A limo service told me that they haven't used Cadillac in years. Because they break...

I have a '97 Lexus ES300 (131K miles). My Connecticut Emissions test failed today due to no OBDII communication. The guy said he couldn't get a reading. He suggested it could be as simple as a blown fuse or as complex as the computer itself. I did some search on google and various forums. It was...

Looking over my 1991 Corolla this morning in preparation for a long trip back home for xmas I noticed something strange. I had both of the front wheels off the ground, the transmission was in neutral. While the car was idling the right wheel was turning, not really fast but not super slow either....

We have exciting news! Our company was able to save a number of Ford EV Rangers from being "disposed of". If you were one of the original users/lessees of these trucks, we know how hard it was to turn them in at the end of your lease. Now is your opportunity to put these trucks back into your...

94 Caravan, 3.0L V6. The van has been sitting for a while, but started fine 2 weeks ago. A few days ago it cranked fine, but the fuel pump didn't do the normal 2-second pressure up when the key was first turned on. I can get the fuel pump to run if I jumper the fuel pump relay, so the relay, the...

Yes it was in the Bonneville. You could get a dealer option/install for your Firebird, the Formula 400 cars in 68 and I think in 69 as well. I've seen a 68 Formula Firebird with a 428 Ram Air 4 speed at a car show and the owner told me that it was installed by the dealer.

I am considering buying a used odyssey. Any years (2001 and up) to avoid. What should I look for when buying one?
