Recently while I was driving my car, there was a burning smell and i parked the car to know what it was. After that when i tried to start it again the self starter was not working. When I checked my battery it ws perfectly OK. The near by mechanic came and checked it and told me the self starter motor is burned out.

I recently bought a used 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI turbo diesel and the past few weeks it has been having problems with the spark plugs. they don't seem to deliver the power they did when i bought the car, and the fuel economy has gone down the toilet. The mechanic told me the new plugs were going to be $129 apiece, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to get them to work correctly.

I have a P reg Vectra. 1.8 16v GLS. I have just realised that I have been leaking small spots of oil for a while. I have just filled car with oil. The engine is begining to over heat and there is a ticking/tapping sound. Also a loud screach when car first starts buts gets better when warm. I have also noticed that I have been using a lot of petrol lately. For info I do a lot of motorway driving. Any ideas...

I bought some radiator (leaky, cracked head gasket etc) sealer and poured it in the radiator according to directions. It seems to have done what it was supposed to do since I'm not losing antifreeze as fast now. However, it seems that the thermostat is now sticking. The temp needle on the dash goes almost to 200 F, check guages light comes on - I pull over - wait a bit - then start up again and the temp cuts back. Does this quik fix sealer stuff cause this problem? What should I do about it?

My car has been good to me...in the 4 yrs I've had it, I bought it with high mileage (I believe somewhere around 150k miles) but I figured it would get me where I needed to go until I could save up for a new one and it was only $900.... The a/c didn't work and the power steering fluid was leaking, I'd have to put in a bottle every other week,
so I'd never expected it to last to long, but my dad ended up fixing my Power Steering, and things ran fine...
Well about a yr after buying it, my timing belt went out, I bought the belt and had this guy come and take it to fix it, I was only s'posed to pay him for 2 hrs labor and the towing fee, which I believe was $85 all together, well w/out my permission he put other belts on, they were ready to go out too "so he says" and charged me like $150 and said he only charged for the parts, not the labor since he'd done it without asking, anyway ok that's all i'd ever put into the car other than the basic stuff, gas, oil, ect...

I am trying to break into the 20th century and bought a scan tool. On a 01 Chevy ser# 1GBJC34U21E262315 , throttle cable ,non Calf. emissions the check engine light is on and sometimes flashing [misfire may ruin cat.con.] and has the folowing codes; PO137,PO140,PO154.PO157,PO160& PO3OO.
Code tips say B1 S1 - 02 Sensor and B2 S1 - 02 senser. Dose this mean Bank 1 Senser 1and Bank 2 Sensor 1? The voltage from These 02s is up & down from apx 50-800 changing very rapidly. B1 S2 & B2 S2 are steady. Is the S1 the pre cat 02 and S2 the after cat 02?
Is there a easy test for 02 sensers?
How do I tell if it is in closed loop?
What is the 4 red lights on scan tool for?
The scaner is the small red retangle box with scrowl Knob.
Thanks

I pushed the car a bit, tried forcing the steering wheel -- but nothing and the key will not turn either way.

And before you say something sarcastic, Yes, I'm pushing the clutch all the way down. Most of the time I have to jiggle the gear shift in neutral with the clutch down before it will go into gear, but this is only when I'm putting it into 1st, or reverse after being stopped. When I'm shifting into 2nd or other gears, it goes smoothly. What's wrong with my car?
