Why do people say the E92 M3 for instance or any of the other numbers associated with the model number of the car, what does it all mean??

Is a Kia Rio a good car to purchase? Is it a safe bet? Especially if you are a Kia Rio owner please answer. And please don't say I'd be better off buying a Toyota or Honda. Duh. I already know that, but haven't found one in my price range with the miles and year I need....This Kia Rio also has a leftover warranty of 20,000 miles.

I have heard that once your gas light comes on and your car reads empty that you have at least another 20 miles in the reserve before your car gives out. Is this true?

I'm wondering why you can't take the body of a Porsche Cayman or any other nice car and put a more affordable V6 (or even less powerful) engine in it. I'm sure you can still design the engine so that it balances the car and does whatever other aerodynamic functions it does.

If I'm driving and I turn -while- I'm accelerating I get a somewhat bad vibration from my front end. I was told it was the CV joint or wheel bearings. I noticed a bit of grease built up on the outer boot (farthest from the tire). Question is, since there is grease, is it most likely the CV joint causing the problem? If so, what would the total cost to repair this run? Ballpark is fine. Also, no clicking or any sort of sound while I am turning. Mainly happens at higher speeds (30mph+)

My Truck was recently vandalized by a lot of stickers being placed on it. I got the sticker part off fairly easily, now I just need some advice on how to remove the sticker residue without hurting the paint...oh yeah, and the Oklahoma heat has pretty much bonded the residue on there...seems hopeless.... P.S. I bought the 2007 truck just 5 days before it happend!

When I turn left I have a slight squeal in my left wheel somewhere. It does it when no brake is applied. It also does it just the same with the slightest steer left. Any thoughts?

So I hit my friends car and he told me to tell the insurance company someone hit me in a parking lot. If I do that and the insurance company inspects it, will they be able to tell that I hit someone instead of someone hitting me?

Are there any good auto repair websites for US cars that feature a lot of diagrams and how to information? Perhaps sites that detail specific cars and engines with diagrams like a paper shop manual?

Thanks.

When i bought the Lincoln Continental they didn't work. I find it unlikely that someone would take them off, so they must still be there. And even more unlikely is that both are completely dead. So is there something i´m missing... a switch or a child lock or something? How can i fix this?

I'll make this short. I have 2 cars. Both run equally well. A 1995 Cadillac Deville with 206,000 miles and a 1998 Hyundai Sonata with only 48,000 miles. Remember, both run great. Need to sell one. Which one would you keep?

Basically, I have a 1995 BMW 318i and recently the engine cannot idle whatsoever. When I come to a stop, the engine idles at around 1,000 RPMs (where it should be) but that is only for a mere second or so before the RPMs die completely and so does the engine. So I'm forced to maintain those RPMs by myself (i.e. pressing the gas pedal) and then acceleration is a problem up until the engine passes 1,500 RPMs. From there on, the engine doesn't die but if the RPMs fall to 1,000 again then in a few seconds the engine dies. Also, when the RPMs are low and the engine is right about to die the car's exhaust gets funny (the exhaust tip vibrates abnormally and it sounds like its clogged or something). At any rate, I replaced the muffler in an effort to solve the problem since it had a hole. It did fix anything. Furthermore, my mechanic has told me that car's computer is malfunctioning and you need to replace it or just the sensors. Anyways, does anybody have any idea what's causing this?Thanks!

I asked yesterday if anybody knew where I could find manuals and schematics on outboard motors that I colud view online, I got quite a few answers however they were all for mercury, and I failed to mention that I have a '67 Johnson and a 70 chrysler outboard I am working on, so if anybody knows of a website or an online library that I can go to to find that information I'd be grateful. Thank You

hi
i have just bought a flashing led for my dashboard from maplin(can't afford to by an alarm so just bought a flashing led). I've been told to connect the led to the battery. I would like to know if there is a safe way to connect the wires or do i simply connect them by twisting them ?

thank you
