I heard that when I stop or low idle then aux. fans are supposed to come on to cool off the engine not just when A/C is on. Is that true? I have 93 Mercedes 300E. My aux. fans never come on. The reason I'm asking is because my car temp. goes up to ~100^C when @ low idle. When on freeway the temprature drops to ~85^C. Let me know if you think aux. fans could be the problem. My A/C also doesn't work.

My 2004 Kia Rio is in the shop since it will barely drive. The mechanic believes that the catalytic converter might be broken, and will verify in the morning. Does anyone know if the replacement of the part would be covered under warranty? I am the original owner.

I am the 2nd owner of a honda civic and unfortunate enough to have to replace the clutch after 10,000 miles of driving it (its at 50,000 now). How different will it feel? What will i notice the most? will it be faster? :)

the car has a lot of miles but it was from a mechanic who took really good care of it, and it was better on emissions test than even new cars. A few days back I was driving uphill and all of a sudden the speed kept going down even though I was hitting the acclerator, I was over the bump really fast though, and it didn't happen again for the rest of the day. Thats my first problem, secondly the steering wheel feels a little loost in my hands, especially when turning, the wheels turn just fine, its just that the steering feels loose. Does anybody know why this is ?... I'm really worried, I'm a student and I can't afford to spend loads of money on this car, and I really love it, and I'm very worried. Pleaseeee any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My car was vandelized and set on fire. I went through all the proper steps with my insurance provider and was told to I would be transfered to the total loss dept. They said mostly likely its unrepairable and would have a tow truck come get it within 48hrs. The car was not at my residence. Now while the car has been sitting waiting to be towed the rims and tires were stolen. i called back to tell them they said this would be a seperate claim with another 500$ deductible. WTF! Am i responsible? was i suppose to not go to work and baby sit the car ? or have it towed somewhere and its already being considered a total loss? Do we have any power with insurance companie or are we suppose to just be grateful for what/if anything they give us?

I take a long trip? It is still 300 miles before the oil needs changing, but I will be driving aprox. 800 miles one way.
Should I do it before the trip or after, and why?

I have had this car for 5 years now and the alarm just started going off without anyone touching the car. I got a new batterey a year ago so I am thinking low battery is not an issue here. Does anybody have any idea why it is doing this?

My 1995 540i BMW will not start nor will the alarm turn off. I unhooked the battery with the doors locked and the back passenger door open. I removed the battery cables from the battery and shut the door (the battery is located under the back passenger seat). When I returned I and hooked everything up the alarm started to go. I cant get it to turn off after using the key in every lock, replacing the battery in the keyfob, and trying to pull the fuse on the system. Please help, its going to cost an arm and leg for BMW to hook it to the cpu.

I got a set of wheels with tyres, however the dust caps are stuck tight and i cant get them off to inflate the tyres, it's like theyve never been taken off. I was thinkin about heating up the valve and dust cap to see if that would budge it. Anybody got any ideas?

I just took my truck in for an oil change at Jiffy Lube. The "mechanic" there told me I had carbon build up on my air filter and I needed a tranny flush as well as a fuel injector flush also consisting of adding a fuel additive as well as an additive to the oil. Now correct me if I am wrong...but what does the air filter have to do with the fuel injector?

I know there are many cool bikes out there that give a different level of performance than Harleys. And like Harleys, some have there own culture, style and following. If you didn't want a Harley motorcycle, what would you get and why?
