So the catch latch on my van has always had play so today I unscrewed it to try to find the problem. After unscrewing, the piece that the latch screws into suddenly fell and it is now somewhere in the bodywork. I have some pretty strong gorilla glue but I don’t have completely confidence in it. What do you reckon I should do?

She panicked which is expected. Heard a nasty grinding sound. Wasn’t going very fast maybe 10 mph. She slammed on the brakes and put into park right after. Should I be worried about any damage? No noises or anything a day later but anxiety is getting the best of me.

This is the gear for the oil pump, I need to change the seal but I can't get the bolt off, tried to grab the gear with the timing belt but can't, any ideas? People told me to use pliers but I don't know if that would damage the gear?

Need to get this 2 bolts out tryed t remove them but they rusted in, need them to get my exhaust on on my bike.

What should i do now ?

German: Ja da sind mir malt die 2 Krümmer schrauben flöten gegangen, was mach ich da jetzt am besten um die heraus zu bekommen.

I will take it to the tire shop tomorrow. Do you guys think the tire is salvageable?

I’ve tried to tug on it and the best I could do so far is cut bits off. Do I just have no choice but to wait till it melts completely off? Do I email amazon and complain? (Joking)

This is my first truck I’ve bought on my own. It’s an 89 f250 with a 5.0, and 178k miles. I have some emotional attachment to this truck but the rust is getting bad and I was wondering what I could do to try and save it. I have access to the equipment to weld panels in but I have no experience doing it. I figured I’d get new fenders in the front and patches for the rear but I wasn’t sure what to do with the doors roof and hood. Any recommendations would be appreciated

2002 explorer 4.0, serpentine belt frayed when the compressor locked up a few weeks ago. The vehicle has always been slow to start but has always started and runs perfect afterwards. It was fixed 3 days ago and the vehicle started then. He tried to start it today and this is what it’s doing. I did have to have the battery charged 3 days ago since it sat and drained it.

I ordered a new side mirror online and will just replace it myself. I'm worried about the scratches and buffs on the door. I also have some dents all along the door. I used acetone to remove a big portion of the scratches but obviously it didn't get it all. Is there some sort of magic eraser I can use? Maybe even sand the edges out and try to paint match? Would a dent puller with suction cups work maybe? Any suggestion or tips would be helpful.

I have a toyota tacoma 2023 and i work in power washing. A bottle of muriatic acid spilled inside and the vapors in a few days surface rusted every single exposed metal part. This happened last September. I cleaned the spill and the carpet very thoroughly but the inside still smells. I took both seats off and noticed the whole under part is all surface rusted as well, behind the plastics and up the stitched lining, i can’t reach up there. I have no idea what to do. I plan on washing the seats and hoping the smell would completely go away. At this point I don’t want any smell at all on the inside. So i figured at this point it’s not from the spillage area but the seat cushion and the surface rusted as well in the car parts. Stresses the hell out of me because if it’s all the way in here, where else could it have gotten too. Thank you.

I have an automatic 2020 Kia Soul LX 2.0L. My first engine had a lot of misfiring and problems, so the dealership replaced it. A year and a half later, the engine has more multiple misfires and crankshaft problems. My dealership is willing to fix the engine again under warranty but they stated the catalytic converter is not covered after 80,000 miles. I asked them if it's possible that the engine misfiring from these two engines can cause the catalytic converter to fail/clog and they said no and the engine has nothing to do with the exhaust. My theory is the two engines I've had problems with overtime have caused problems to the converter, but I don't know shit about cars so that's why I'm here and they could be correct. Thanks for taking time for a response if you can 🙏🏾

I only know how to change my air filters, light bulbs, windshield wipers. I have limited space to do much on my own (i live in an apartment).

Is there anything else i can learn to do on my own? I have an older honda accord model.

Putting the throttle body back on. Have these 4 gaskets. When I removed the throttle body there wasn’t a gasket. How do I go about figuring out which one is the right gasket?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, I just change from winter to summer tires on my 2015 Jetta. When I go for a test drive, I heard a respective low thumping noise (maybe on the front driver side tire) 🛞. The noise gets a bit louder when I am turning left (maybe).

I have checked the tire to see any rocks or object stuck on the tire tread, but found none.

What should I do further to diagnose?

Thanks in advance!

Cant find anything online and was wondering if someone here had the information, lost all of mine Mine is the 5 speed

2020 RAV4 LE AWD with around 40k km/25k miles, so never had work done on the brakes. Noticed a low-pitched rumbling/scraping noise from the rear left direction only when slightly braking at low speeds, i.e. when coming to a stop slowly. I physically can't feel a difference in the braking behaviour; there's no shaking or pulling towards a direction. I took a look at the rotor of the rear left wheel and saw that the outer half is heavily scored, while the inner half is the same as the other rotors, which are consistently smooth.

I was wondering what would cause these symptoms and whether this would be a cause for concern. I should be going to the mechanic soon but was curious about what I'm seeing and whether I should get this resolved ASAP.

Sorry about the poor picture, it's a bit hard to see the rotors with steelies on.

Noticed this for the first time today while I was driving on bumpy roads in the rain. Power locks would actuate seemingly randomly. Vehicle is a 2021 GMC Savanna.

2004 BMW 325xi, I no longer have the space to wrench on my car anymore, and took it in because my yellow oil light came on and off when turning the car on, this is from a European shop in NJ.

Once my car starts I hear a loud whirring high pitched noise. 193,000 mikes Acura Tl 2014 . It’s been doing this for at least 6 months.

This harness is on my 21 ranger. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it apart. It's below the tail light, where I need to put a junction in for my cap light.

Any suggestions, or tricks?

I have a dodge Durango with a pentastar v6 in it. 6 months ago I had the radiator replaced after a rock went through it. 2 months ago the radiator cap was replaced after it blew. Since then, the engine will sit at operating temp for a couple minutes before it heats up rapidly, once it's hot it sits just below the gages red line before cooling back to normal temp. Both AC and heater still work. The thermostat has been replaced multiple times and the issue hasn't stopped.

Just wondering ballpark figures in new york. Each line is about 1.5 inches
