Two Mazda dealerships now won’t change transmission fluid, told it’s lifetime
By tdrstover1
I am having a problem with a Mazda dealership to change my transmission fluid. I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 and was told at 2 Mazda dealerships now that it is lifetime and that they won't change my transmission fluid but I know that transmission fluid still needs to be changed due to shavings and dirty fluid which will eventually kill my car. So I have been researching the kind of transmission fluid and filter that I need. I got those done, but now I have the problem of finding the right... Read more
New/Old Fear Unlocked
By plumbcrazy
I didn't want to resurrect a 1+ year old thread and this has a twist so.... I was working at a house in the neighborhood this week and customer and I were talking about the couple of idiots who feed the deer, their piles of shit in the yards, etc... There's a lot of development, unfortunately, in the area most likely to accommodate buyers coming in from the People's Republics of NY and NJ. Anyway, there's no doubt the wildlife is getting squeezed out of their habitats which is a tale as old... Read more

945 broken temp gauge
By Brix
Hi everyone, I recently bought a 945 turbo diesel with around 500k kilometers on it. I'm looking for advice concerning the temp gauge, which jumps to the middle when I turn on the ignition then never moves. I'm about to order a new temp sensor but I've read that the problem often lies with the gauge itself/the instrument cluster. Found some guides on how to test the sensor and the gauge, but only for the ones found on a gas engine, with the 2-wire LH2.4 032 sensor. The one on my D24TIC only... Read more
Alternator outputting 14.5v on 6.7 Cummins
By nlambert182
Truck has been doing this on and off for about a year, but with the kid situation I haven't had time to thoroughly diagnose it. On hot or cold days I'll sometimes get the battery low indicator in the EVIC when I start the truck. I can read alternator and battery voltage on my tuner display and it shows my batteries at 12.7V with the key on, engine off and shows that my alternator voltage is at 14.5V with the truck running, where it normally runs at 15.3V. I put brand new batteries in the... Read more
240 LH2.4 lean AFR
By hessam69
Greetings. I have a 1992 240 in 100% standard condition. I took it to get dyno tested because it seemed like it was down on power. The dyno operator mentioned he thought the AFR was way too lean and when we looked at the figures, he’s right. At the start of the power run, AFR was at 14.0, by 3,700 rpm it was up to 15.1, at 4,100 rpm came down to 14.7, the it went richer after that around 13.8 til redline where it stayed around 13.6. Is this too lean and if so where should I begin to... Read more

Driver seat adjustment bar coming out of track (2016 Civic)
By cwradio
The driver-side manual front seat adjustment handle bar on my 2016 Honda Civic EX has come out of its track. I inspected underneath the seat and discovered that the lever spring is broken. Currently, I can still slide the seat forward and backward as long as I do not pull the adjustment handle bar forward toward the front of the car, which causes it to completely detach from the track. However, lifting the adjustment handle bar straight up safely engages the mechanism and allows me to adjust... Driver seat adjustment bar coming out of track (2016 Civic)
