I'll go into how I got the car after the issue. So it sat 7 years So im told but the sticker was 10 years out. Tank was rusty...really rust so I replaced the tank, in tank pump assembly, and high pressure pump under. I had the injectors cleaned and flowed. Then I flushed the lines with new fuel. Noticed the alternator was sideways and replaced the bushings. Tested the car and it acted like it was going to start then I smelled gas. Took off the vacuum line to the pump and it was free flowing... Read more

2013 CX-9, 132,000 miles Just bought this car, unknown history. Tires have most of their tread and no apparent defects. The right-front corner emits a low growl roar starting at 20 mph and increasing pitch with speed. Steer left and it increases volume; steer right and it goes silent. I pulled each wheel and found the CVJ boots intact, no slack in the CVJs. No movement from shaking the wheels any direction. Of course I couldn't spin the wheels fast enough replicate the sound. Have you... Read more

As title says, it's starting to get a bit worn where I put my hand and was wondering if there a conditioner or cleaner I can use to help it last a bit longer. I use a 3-1 McGuire's for my seats but I know the steering wheel isn't actually leather so unsure if that will help at all 18 sport touring

I'm missing nice Michelin tires for my 240. I have a choice of the standard rims or the aluminum Draco rims. I like the handling of Michelin. Drive primarily around the foothills of Placerville and the freeway for road trips. Not many choices, would appreciate any advice and where to buy. Thanks

I bought the Wunderladen oil dipstick a while ago and it has served me well. I don't have to squint and break out the ancient magics to try to decipher what the oil level is on the stock dipstick anymore . I made a video of reinstalling it into my new engine here

Hey so I was recently given some floor mats courtesy of Treadauto and Michelin and here is my review of them so far: I put one into the driver's compartment and it looks amazing and covers so much more of the floor than the stock floor mat does. I'm excited to get to use it soon once I get the engine back in my car but the material felt great in hand. Install is easy as pie. The only thing to look out for is that it isn't covering any of the pedals after you install it. Mine is covering the... Michelin All Weather Floor mats review

Hi, everybody I have an automatic 3.0 24V '95 960 (facelift), strictly stock, VIN YV1965956S102xxxx, which torque converter I'd like to lock not only in gears 3 and 4 but also in 2nd (even 1st?). I dislike the way the throttle pedal feels connected to revs but not to car acceleration. It ruins a bit an otherwise fabulous ride experience. Google's IA claims my transmission is an AW30-40 and that these are commanded exactly like Toyota's A340E ones. It is suggesting different options... Read more

‘Shockingly bad’: Nissan Leaf drivers voice anger over app shutdown Carmaker’s decision to drop NissanConnect EV app on relatively recent cars fuels warnings from experts www.theguardian.com Following the footsteps of Honda link, Nissan is shutting off service on 3/30/26 for pre 2019 models.

This is really important and seems to have popped up a couple times lately. If you get yourself an aftermarket cam (which I recommend for best result), you MUST degree it in. I don't know why the aftermarket cam blanks are made this way, and though there's probably a reason for it, it doesn't matter. Some of them have been ok to this point, but there's no guarantee that going forward they will be. An overly retarded camshaft has a bunch of symptoms: unexplained detonation, weird power...

Whenever the clutch is engaged/slipped, it makes a little chirping noise as it starts to grab. Also there's a slight raspy noise (like the sound one hears when sharpening a knife on a whet stone)...

So I'm at 69,990 miles today and 100miles from Service (oil) reminder. So I got a gallon of 0W-20 Pennzoil (US$23 at wally mart) and used my wonderfully helpful neighbor's garage and ramps. I had a new 6-pack of OEM filters for my 2017 CX-5 and really should have let the car cool down but boy that oil came out hot and fast into the oil drain pan. I took off my filter 1WPY with a trusty cap wrench that fit for the last few years, cleaned the area and got a new filter out and realized it was... Read more

After trading down from a leased 2021 CX-9 to a financed CX-50, we opted to upgrade, again, to a CX-70! We missed the trunk space and comfort from the larger SUV! Turbo S premium, think we got a good deal on it at $50,500 after the $500 loyalty rebate.
