Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

I was thinking of 1.9 TDI or 2.5 TDI Audi. Prefferably with Quattro four wheel drive. I want to know if it is possible to have the fuel economy. Then, if I desire, turn on the Nitrous Oxide for the added performance. Would I have to turn off the LPG to use the NOS? Or would the engine just melt or explode?

Rubbing & rumbling noise appears at initial starting motions and crawling speed. Crawling meaning equivalent to walking speed.

I've seen it and had to laugh. The tire was almost flat and yet, it had to be kicked. Does this tell a man something that women don't know about? When it looks low, they kick it. I'm completey mystified by this behavior.

I know this sounds a little gross, and a little strange but there's been a smell in my car, (much like the episode of Seinfeld) where when I tilt my sunroof up, there's this smell of like crayons, or some people think it's mildew. How would I be able to get rid of this gross monster smell in my car!? I used Febreeze and air fresheners, left my car open to air out. No clue what it is!!

The car suddenly started running rough, bogging down and noisy with what sounds like backfiring through the intake manifold on acceleration. Check engine light on. Took it to AutoZone and the diagnostic was 106, 1 of 3 air flow etc. Checked for leaks in airtake manifold thing, tightned clamps, listened for leaks etc. Replaced plugs, MAP sensor, air filter and serpentine belt. Put in premium gas. This made no difference. Now it's knocking on idle also. Thought maybe carbon build up as it hasn't been on highway in 6 months, just city driving. Had a few people listen to it and w/ all different opinions...rod knock (would it backfire?) rocker arm, timing...I'm going to take it to a shop but I don't want to get ripped off and if I can would like to repair it myself. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Rev it up to 3500- 4500 RPM to accelerate fast when driving, will it damage the vehicle, and what part will it damage. No burnouts.

I have a 97 dodge ram with a 12 valve cummins motor. I had somthing shoot out of the timing gears and through the cover. everyone tells me that it was a dowel pin but dont know where or what its for. the motor still runs fine but I would still like to know what the pin once did just in case it dies on me in the future.

I recently had an oil leak repaired on my '98 Nissan Sentra. However, now my car seems to be burning oil like crazy -- they gave it an oil change, but it burned it all up and I had to add a quart. This morning I noticed the oil was low again and added some more. In addition, I've noticed exhaust smoke coming from back there, especially when the car has been idle for a few minutes. Any advice? Is this normal for a car after a leak has been fixed? (P.S. -- The leak HAS been sealed, it was literally dripping onto the ground and the timing chain had splattered it all over the place.)

Last week my battery light came on. Ever since the voltage has gone down and today my gauges stopped working. I don't drive very much and my truck sits in a hot garage, would that have anything to do with my problem?

It misfires at all speeds, can barely make it up hills. It did this once before and the mech I took it to gave it a tune up. It did have a code when they hooked it to the machine. On the paperwork it said "prob bad cat". It will be driving at 60 struggling, and then surge forward....HELP!
