Check the egr pressure differential switch.

I had a Mitsubishi Gallant back in the late eighties, sixth gen I believe and I felt it was way nicer than the Camry and Accords during that time.

Yeah Toyota isn’t impressing me lately either. Seems every month there is a group of recalls into the hundreds of thousands from an array of auto makers. The push for meeting efficiency standards has engines and transmissions pushing the limits

Working night stock at a grocery store putting myself through college taught me this about bleach. We had to rotate it religiously. Hydrogen peroxide is the same. Once it’s opened it just lasts weeks. So go to the medicine cabinet and pitch it lol. I have a Electrolux front loader new washer...

What? Is that delamination or something else?

I’ve been running ESP 0w-30 in my 2023 Grand Cherokee since after the first “free” dealership oil change at 5k miles. This gives extra protection for the 3.6 and puts it on the same oil as the GTI so it simplifies the oil stash. So I’ve put both the 3.6 and the EA888 engines on 0w-30 instead of...

Same. I’ve been driving since 1979 and have owned a variety vehicle brands and have never had warped rotors and have done just pad slaps the whole time when needed.

Bet I ever had was my old 2012 Ford transit Connect. When I sold it was ice cold like day one. A friend complained that when he borrowed it it gave him an ice cream headache lol. Worst I’ve owned were the three Hondas I’ve owned.

I’ve never been in a Kia but btwn the two I have currently, new body style Jeep Grand Cherokee and mK8 GTI, the VW is far superior. The Jeep hunts from one side of the lane to the other literally all the time and the VW is laser focused into the center of the lane. The jeep waits till the last...

I'd rather have this one for that price.. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/dodge/power-wagon/2642824.html

I sold it for $9,800

The current used market is nothing like I’ve seen before. This past year I decided to downsize my number of cars as needs have changed. The first one to go was the 2012 ford transit Connect with 225k miles. I put in a few pictures and very accurate description on Facebook and after checking KBB...

If I were to go the smaller suv route I would have to wait till later this year and check out the Tiguan Turbo. On this refresh the interior is very nice and the “turbo” option gives serious hp upgrade which the Tiguan has needed for years.

If you’re not replacing it every time then I think the fiber is getting oil soaked during removal and leading to the seeping once it’s torqued back down. But I may be wrong as I’ve never seen this type of washer before.

I personally would use the esp 5w-30 over the 0w-40 as the hths of 5-30 is 3.5 and the 0w-40 is a very thin one and usually falls to a 30 soon anyway.
