What can I check to make sure it is not a gasket. I left the car parked and the coolant went down alot (not all) in one day. I looked under the car and there was no signs of a leak unless there is something under the car catching the leak. Please help me with this. Also, the coolant was going down a little bit at a time, now it's going down fast. Do you think it could be a leak in a hose that got bigger?

This sounds high to me - can anyone tell me if I'm just being paranoid?

Rotors $64.00
Rear brakes $66.50
Muffler $112.00
Inspection $25.00
Emission Test $45.00
1 hour labor $75.00

total $387.50 + $23.25 tax = $410.75

(it just got inspected 6 months ago too, so none of these should have been that bad)

I am gettting ready to trade in a car that is lealing oil through the exhaust. I'm talking pretty heavy leakage, about 1 qt every 200 miles. It's not burning it, just spitting it out the exhaust, suspect it's a exhasut valve gasket.

Anyhoo.... Should I disclose this info when I trade in the car? I DON'T want to give the dealership any free info to screw me, but I'm not a dishonest person either. Is it considered dishonest, or even somewhat illegal to supress info about major defects that you are aware of when trading in? Other than the oil loss, the car is a perfect 2000 Celica GT..Thanks !!

The starter motor on my 85 Pontiac Fiero passes tests on bench testers, and spins and extendeds if you hold on to it while it hooked up to the car, however when it is bolted up to the block and engages the flywheel all that happens is the solenoid clicks like mad. The battery is good, that has been verified, I have just replaced the battery cable down to the starter, we added a ground using jumper cables, that also failed to help. Curious if this is an alignment issue, of if perhaps the solenoid is failing only under the load of engaging the flywheel. The starter is new a couple days ago, and the solenoid is less than a month old.

I really need this online because I already have the Haynes manual for it, but I assure you that it doesn't have the diagram. I have checked from cover to cover. Anyone know where to find this it would be rewarded with best answer?!!

I am thinking of buying an older (1985) Honda Accord. The seller says it has a bad head gasket. How much will it cost to replace and is it something I can do myself? I am somewhat handy and can follow step by step instructions. If this is a 60 to 90 minute fix I may do it myself. Otherwise, how much should a shop charge?

hi. i own a 2004 bmw 525i and according to the dealer the car already has uv protection windows but the windows are clear. To protect the interior of the car do i still need to put tints on the windows? Will a light tint protect the interior from fading and cracking?what is the actual difference between light and dark tint? will my interior crack or fade if i dont put tints. is it uv ray that fades or cracks the interior? thank you in advance

My battery light comes on in my chevy. Instead of the dial going down the dial goes up . Do I have a power surge thats making the dial go up. I bought a new battery and its still doing the same thing. When I come to a complete stop sometimes the dial goes back down to its normal position. What could be the problem thats making my battery come on.. I don't have any problem starting the it cranks right up

Hello,
I have heard and seen ppl use 1/2 quart of tranny fluid to a tank of gas in a *fuel injected only* vehicle. I already know it wont harm the engine as ive witnessed it numerous times so please dont anyone reply with the usual "OMG DONT PUT THAT IN THERE!!! itll kill your engine!!!" which is usually based on opinions and not personal experience. My question lies as follows.. What advantages are there of using the correct ratio of tranny fluid to gas as compared to using say "sea foam" or any other fuel injection cleaner? Also has anyone found the tranny fluid to work better?
Thank you
PS.. I didnt try to come across as a jerk but with every question Ive asked I always get someone who is trying to be the smart one and using opinions to say " NOOOO thats bad" just wanted to let you know that no i will not be swayed from using it but if theres a better alternative with some other fuel additive Id compare the 2 and come up with a conclusion.. Thank you once again

just so everybody knows the alternator doesn't have anything to do with starters... it runs on electromagnetic current which the lines of flux are cut only when the rotor is spinning to induce a voltage. on a DC generator is the only situation when the starter and generator are even related... so why is it such a common misconception that when a car goes click when you crank it your starter is to blame? who ever told you that? the battery is the only thing that runs the starter...
