At work we recently got these new Dodge Sprinter cargo vans, converted to passenger shuttles. I know that they are made by Mercedes, long known for their cryptic instrument panel buttons, and there is one that totally confuses me. It says "ADR" or"ADS" and has an "n" surrounded with what looks like four arrows pointing in one direction around a circle (on the button). Does any mechanic or Mercedes expert have any clue what this button does?

the Traction control virtally freezes the wheels - it prevents wheel slippage so when all 4 wheels are slipping - it won't allow them to move

My Dad had an early 1960s model Ford Cortina vehicle which he sold several years ago. It was in excellent condition and i've been told that it's considered a "vintage". I'm just curious as to whether that's true and if so, how much do you think he could have sold it for? It was in fine condition engine and body - the whole works. Thanks.

I have the compass in my rearview mirror but I can't find in the owner's manual how I can calibrate it.

but I think it has something to do with the exhaust. When I attempt to accelerate, there is minimal power and it is loud with a gassy smell. What may be the problem?

I'm interested in purchasing a 2005 (or newer) Mustang. I love the retro design. I know the sticker labels an expected MPG of anywhere between 17 and 25, but I'm interested to know what your experience has been? Please, I'm only interested in 2005 or later, and please indicate if you own the V6 or the V8.

If you care to do so, detail any other pros and cons you've discovered while driving your car?

Thanks!

I've driven both, and the revised current model North American Focus is vastly inferior to the all new model on sale in Europe. Why didn't Ford bring the new model to the USA and Canada?

Inspired by the 1949 Chevrolet Suburban, the Chevy HHR is quickly gaining popularity and aftermarket attention. What do you think about the HHR?

I'm having problems with the turn signals on my Jeep. The left signal works fine. The right signal stays on steadily (does not blink on the dash or the turn signals themselves).
At night when I have the lights on, my brake lights remain on despite the fact that my foot is off the brake. When I step on the brake, all of my console lights brighten. Hmmmmmm....
Here is what I have done:
1) I replaced the fuses for the turn signals.
2) I replaced two thermal flashers (one for the turn signals and one for the hazard lights).
3) Replaced all the bulbs as this system works on a circuit, therefore if one bulb goes, everything goes... like a set of those old Christmas tree lights.
4) Checked all of the grounds. Everything is grounded properly and tightly.
5) I have a Relay that I have yet to replace. Hoping this is the problem... any ideas
Oh yeah, the right side marker light is out even though I just replaced the bulb... bad connection causing all of this?
Thanks

After I imported the Impreza GF1 from Japan, it was very fast and was performing optimally. I gave the car to a friend and on return, the cars capability to pick up speed was so compromised, and it was struggling to pick up speed from one gear to the next.

I changed the engine oil, fuel filter, oil filter, plugs, battery, air filter with new subaru spares but the situation did not change so much. Please help me understand which engine oil is good for my car. Currently, i'm using Caltex - Formula (i havent crammed the grade).

How can I boost the cars ability to pick up speed??

Thanks for yahoo answers...

I got up this morning and my 'T' Reg Saxo was unlocked but there was no signs of a forced entry but it was clear that someone had got inside. I went to lock it using my key fob and when i locked it, the locks popped back up again. I went around and checked all the doors were shut properly, etc, but it still wouldn't lock. I had to use the key in the end. Anyone know what could be wrong?

My car makes a knocking nice when I go round a corner ( mainly left ) and accelerate at same time, if I go round corner without accelerating it is fine. I've even had my driveshaft done thinking it could have been the cv joint. My car is a citroen saxo diesel.

the car that I'm working on had a 35 tooth driven and a 19 tooth drive speedometer gear assy. the rear ratio was 2.41-1from the factory- and the trans. was never touched- the parts book correlates that gear assy. too. The customer had put another rear end in the car and it was 2.73-1 and never changed the speedo- it read too fast. I determined with my limited math skills that a 38 tooth driven gear recalibrated the speedo.
IT read correctly.
Now the customer replaced the rear with a 3.73-1 and I am having problems finding out what the driven gear needs to be- any math wizards out there? please help me?

I am looking for kits that are available to add AC on a 62 Beetle. I have seen the ICE diagram but would prefer to not run hoses back and forth if I don't have to. If you have a diagram that would also be great.

Thanks

Why do all repair shops (I whent to 5 of them) try to con you in to getting a rebuild if you don't need one and why do they all try to act like they are your best friend they all suck at acting because you can tell that all they want is your money as evident with my encounter with Amco transmissions. As soon as I said thats way more exspensive than the competion, why do you charge so much money 2600 compared to (1400 to 1600) he almost immedatly stoped the whole I'm your friend bit and he said to me infront of other people because I can charge that much so if you don't like the price than go some where else. This really pissed me off and I think it made the other people their think twice about having there cars at such a poorly run shop. So before I left I told the guy that he was a peace of S%$T and that he should not be in biusness. I also felt like telling the rest of the tranny shops the same thing but this a hole just made me so mad.
