Maintenance & Repairs - August 2007

I replaced the coolant lines on a th400 trans. First I used pipe thread tape on end that go into trans housing. No leaks. Great! But when I start engine the trans fluid leaks out from the pipe that goes thru the connectors that screw into trans housing.

What did I forget to do?

i drive a 2000 chrystler (300m) and the whole panel went out. it wont show my mileage, my speed, how much gas there is in my car etc.... i would like to try to fix it myself, instead of going out and spending my whole pay check (lol) so if any one can maybe shoot me some ideas of what the problem might be, that would be awesome!

i had it towed to a nearby shop. they called with a $675 quote for parts and labor to replace brakelines. i know enough to realize they are thieves and that there is no way all my lines went at once. what would a reasonable estimate as to what it should really cost to fix?

i have a 98 oldsmobile intrigue that has just recently started running hot when i'm driving in the afternoon. it hasn't overheated yet but has gotten pretty close, especially when the temp outside tops 110 ( i live in az).

i do notice that when i shut off the a/c or turn the heater on, the temp goes down.

in the mornings it runs fine and the temp gauge stays right in the middle. the same goes for when i park the car in the garage then run it in the afternoon. but if i'm out longer than a few hours with it-it runs hot.

what could this be? my radiator was replaced (supposedly per the repair shop b/c my car was under warrenty) last december along with my intake madifold and gasket.

should i try flushing the radiator to see if it's clogged? i'm not noticing any leaks and i just put more dexcool in the radiator a few days ago. i DID notice some buildup in the radiator cap and along the inside lip of the radiator itself. both fans work as well.

thanks!!!

After a short trip of 70 miles it began knocking. At least, it sounds like. Along with that the coolant is leaking. Every time Overheating/Low coolant lamp is blinking, you can't really say what is wrong, because the engine is really hot, and there is no water in cooling system. I am worried about the engine. In a day I am taking the car to mechanics, but want to be a little prepared, otherwise, I will be fooled. It happens so often in SF City, CA. Can you tell me how bad the problem sounds like, and what it might be. Thank you

I bought a 1996 toyota camry and i like tinkering around maintaining the car myself. I already changed the spark polugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. I may need new brakes soon that I want to do myself. I also need a maintenance guide so I know exactly when my car needs oil changes, fluids checks, belts changed, hoses, etc.

I want to do it myself. So is the manual reliable? Or haynes?

i was recently going through some wires to my ignition. and i accidentally cut one its pink, i think its the accessory wire. anyways got some fasteners and patched the wire up, but now my radio won't work when i turn the ignition back and my gear selector and odometer lights went out too. but they work when i turn the key once, and when i turn it like i'm gonna start the vehicle they turn off, and while the vehicle runs those lights are off too. i hope its an easy fix... someone?

I heard a popping sound and took it to Firestone. They told me I need the steering replaced and replaced the rack and pinion steering, but people tell me that it is too soon. My 2002 Aurora only has 25000 miles on it. I'm still hearing the popping sound and I have to take it back tomorrow. I need help! Any suggestions? Thank you!

I drive a 2002 tahoe and everytime I have my A/C running and I step on the gas, this weird loud noise comes up and it goes away if I lay off the gas. I'm taking it in for a check up, I just want to have an idea on what the problem might be. Any help is welcomed :)

I've had my Chrysler 2002 300M for one month. The oxygen sensors malfunctioned and as a result, the spark plugs have failed. The dealer says this is a maintenance issue that should have been handled by the previous owner and therefore not covered by the warranty. They want to "split the cost" and charge me $300.00. I can argue this, but I need to go in knowing who I'll be filing a complaint with if they don't handle it.
