they told me it was for an extra quart and a special oil filter that came on four wheel drives. I know synthetic is more than regular but it shouldn't cost double.

i drove for an hour no heating problem with the temperature gauge. then after the car is turned off there is a release of pressure and then you hear a bubbling sound coming from near the engine. the coolant level is fine and it is running fine but there just is the bubbling up of some fluid from up underneath. any similar problems or solutions

still give an accurate reading of the temperature of the temperature of the engine, eg if your pipes birst and you were about 20 miles away from a ford dealer, or home (where you had replacement pipe) would the sensor still give accurate readings so you could stop and let the car cool down before starting the engine up again?

I'm painting my vehicle, and I removed some trim on the doors, which I am going to keep off. There are a few holes that were used for the clips about 1/4 inch diameter each. There is no rust

What is the best method of filling them? I can access both sides of the panel where the holes are.

My thoughts were to apply bondo to both sides, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, what is the fasted drying product?

Thanks

I want to learn to weld to allow myself to fabricate car panels. I already have a good idea of car bodywork, general metalwork and science (to a-level). Where can I take an evening/weekend welding class?

I changed the front and rear breaks three weeks ago. The front rotors were also changed. As I left the lot I began to hear a dull kind of hissing or rasping sound before the car comes to a complete stop. I thought it was just the new breaks "breaking" in, but i have continued to hear the noise. The car breaks fine and there is no cracking sound either, what do you guys think is the problem? thank you.

i have a 2000 chevy s10 2.2 liter flex fuel. I drove the truck around all weekend and every thing was fine. No noises, gauges all read fine. It was very cold This morning, and i went outside to start it, and i heard a loud sound like the engine was shaking. I shut it off then waited a few minutes, now when i try to start it the engine tries to turn over, but it stops and all i hear is the belts or pulleys spinning. I just replaced the alternator a couple months ago. Any body have any ideas what this could be.

When the a/c quit cooling on my '98 Chrysler Concorde LXI, the repair shop said I needed to replace my compressor. This cost $800. About a week after returning from a trip involving approx. 2,000 miles, the a/c quit cooling again. The shop replaced the Schrader valve at no cost to me. About 3 days later it quit cooling again. Now I'm told I need to replace the evaporator, at a cost of $700. Would having to replace the evaporator on the heals of the compressor replacement be considered a typical a/c problem or an unusual one? Should the shop have diagnosed this during one of the previous 2 repairs? Would experiencing further problems once the evaporator is replaced be considered reasonable?

I have this old Aluminum Radiators which full of dust and oil.......... my question is how to clean the junk off the radiator? Since the aluminum fins are quite fragile I've avoid using brute force to clean it........ :p

The purpose of cleaning the radiator is simple - to improve thermal conductivity and yeah, for bragging rights!

I have an indicator light permanently on the dashboard. it is the shape of the engine but I was unable to locate the diagnostic point to find out what the problem is. It does not affect the functioning of the car-yet.
