I have a 2003 Volvo S40.I started heating a ticking noise when my air conditioning was on. I turned off the AC to make sure that that was the source of the noise, and sure enough, it is. The ticking noise becomes faster as the fan speed increases. Is it the fan itself? Is it the motor? Any ideas on reapir costs?

What are some symptoms of the thermostat being stuck open? Last fall while it was still warm, the temp slowly climbed to 230F then settled back to its normal operating temp. it now operates within temp on the gauge, but i get no real strong heat like a GM should be providing. I suspect the stat is stuck open after having been stuck closed and if this is the case, do I replace it since im good with my wrenches and sockets, or do i not want to fool with it and have a garage do the work?

Thanks ahead of time as always.

I know I have asked many questions about this 99 Grand Am but today I discovered a crack in the reservoir (overflow) tank. The antifreeze has not gotton to low but I'm wondering could this crack be causing the car to get too hot when idle. I know the tank has to be under a certain amount of pressure. Would this crack affect that? Also, It seems that my thermostat is not opening until the car gets to around 220 degrees and then after about five minutes it will go back down to around 190 and go back up again whenever its idle. It never goes past 220. Never in the red.

this 94 Topaz "HEEP" has a front wheel baring that I have to take to the shop, because it has to be "pressed" in there and take a torch and remove a part in there and 3 hours labor yadda yadda.....I understand there are models of cars that one can replace alot easier in your own garage. The guy at Lenzte
auto said he'd press the baring for me if I wanted to do the job, so then he quotes me 120.00 to do that.

My bf is an idiot and crossed my jumper cables while boosting his parked car with mine. my car was running, his was not. we realized it was wrong and switched them to how they should be. His car never did start, but we assumed that because it had been parked for a few months it was because of that. About a week later while i was driving my battery just died. how much will this cost, and ist that now the reason why his car wouldnt start also?

I have a 95 Saturn SL2 manual shift, recently when coming onto an off ramp from the highway it will die (turn itsself off, what ever you want to call it) when I reach almost stopping position. I can always turn the key to off and restart the car. Why the heck is it doing that?

I've read the prior questions on acetone added to gas re: milage and performance, but there are no comments regarding potential damage to seals and gaskets. Has anyone had any negitive consequences from adding acetone to their gas?

It's an '86 Civic that I've done some work on. The cooling system is a bit wacky.
