i have a bad squealing coming from the serpentine belt on my truck. i just replaced it a month ago and it has been doing it ever since. i tried putting some belt dressing on there hoping it would cut out on the squealing but it seems to just get worse and worse. i really don't have the money right now to take it to a shop. is there anything i can do to fix it?

Hi, I have owned a 1996 Jetta GL for a year or what-not. It has actually ran really good despite it's mileage and years.

The electronic sunroof has never worked, and I think there is a plug for a computer to be hooked on that does not work either.

Two of my family members are experienced in cars, but not so much in the electronics department.

Anyone have any tips on what I could do to fix this, (besides the obvious option, seeing another mechanic) I was thinking of buying the book of my car and trying to get my brother to attempt to fix it from here.

any tips appriciated

From start up/warm up, the engine runs smooth. For the first 3-5 minutes the car runs like a champ. But, after it fully warms up, the engine starts to sputter randomly between acceleration/shifting points. At some points the car jerks back and forth pretty badly. Some people have told me that is was the plug gaps, timing, rotor/distributor, plugs and wires, injectors, fuel filter/pump, valves, etc...I have gone to Pep Boys and other mechanics 3 days in a row and no progress. I have replaced:all fluids, fuel filter, spark plugs and wires (twice), ignition, distributor and rotor, checked timing, etc and nothing has helped. My engine is composed of a b18b1 bottom and a LS header, non V TECH. I really dont know what to do and dont know where to start with what the problem is. Please help if you have ANY ideas!!! Thanks

A friend of mine got into an accident with his dad's car. What should he do? I believe he isn't in the policy. Can they (he & his dad) claim through his dad's insurance?

I was driving closely behind a car and he slowed down to make a turn. He didnt use his turn signal so i assumed he was going to turn right. I attempted to go around him by going to the left and he apparently turned left and hit me in the back. Am I at fault for going around him?

I have read NTSB reports on this problem, and most seem to be either poor intra-cockpit communication (junior crew members not speaking up, when a problem is recognized), not believing what the instruments are saying(God complex, "I know I'm right, dammit", garbled or mis-understood radio comm. How do modern commerical pilots train to avoid this tragic result, of what seems to me, to be sadly easily correctable problems within the cockpit. Opinions? comments?

ok so when i turn my car on in the morning and got to stop at a stop sign my back left tire will skid and make a bad sound and my car will feel like it is sinking to the ground for a second. after i drive for a few miles the brakes then work fine. then today my brake pedal felt ver firm when i pushed it down, but my brakes didnt really work that good. i have a 95 chevy beretta and the ABS light is on all the time, the dealer said it was fine if it was on u just need a new sensor. he said sensors are expensive and u dont really need one. what should i do. o and today when the pedal was firm both the ABS and the regualr brake lights were on, according to the manuel this means my entire braking system is in danger. and finally today when the pedal was firm, i stopped at a gas station and turned my car off when i started it again the regualr brake light went off and only the ABS light was on, and the pedal was no longer firm, however the problem with the back tire began again help!!

What are the steps to getting your fiberglassing, repair, such as repairing a bumper with fiber glass, smoother than glass. This is a question for getting the final layer super smooth.

I own a 2000 Ford Contour and I noticed my power steering fluid was low. Does it matter what type of fluid I use or can I just throw any old power steering fluid in it?
