Hello Two years ago I got a 2006 Jetta 2.5L I noticed the coolant / anti freeze is a little low, When it is cold it is just a little below the min line. Looking for antifreeze / coolant recommendations, best if I could get from walmart online or amazon Thanks

that was my plan just thgouth I would check to see if there are any other clever uses for it that would warrant keeping it.

Hello I have a 17mm hex allen tool used to remove the transmission / transaxel manual transmission oil fill and drain plus for the first generation water cooled VWs, think 1975-1985 VW Rabbit. I no longer have the vehicle and have the tool sitting around. Are there any other popular...

HI I recently got a new set of wheels, tires and tpms sensors. I had the tpms sensors installed and then the tires. I have a slow leak in one of the tires. I suspect the valve core is not fully tight. Can I tighten it while it is under pressure (36 psi)? Can I just tightened it or do I...

Hello I have had a Joe's Racing 0-60 psi tire pressure gauge for about 5 or so years. Before I bought it I did a bit of research and it seemed to be one of the better ones on the market. I just came from the tire shop and learned that my gauge reads 3psi high compared to the system that is...

Hello I have a sent of winter wheels/tires that I just removed from my vehicle. They are steel wheels with hub caps. Kind of a silly questions but should I store the hub caps separately or snap them back onto the wheels? I was going to lean them against the side of my house as compared to...

Hello I noticed each of the steel wheels on my 2021 RAV4 has a neon yellow / green "Peel Here" sticker. What are these for?

Hello I just received a set of 4 TPMS sensors that I ordered online. I noticed that the date code on them for when they were made is July 2019. So almost 3 years old. Does this mean that some of the battery life is gone or do they only consume battery current when paired to a vehicle?

Sorry my comment was slightly inaccurate. The final assembly point was Canada.... that being said assembly could have started in Canada or the US or elsewhere. So yes what I am saying is the the vehicle could have been partially assembled in a country other than Canada.

Ah.... I think I am on to something.... It seems like 42607-0C091 is for vehicles with the tradition key and 42607-06030 is for vehicles with the smart key ( push button start / keyless entry). Can anyone confirm this? It still doesn't address my initial steel vs alloy wheel question.

thanks.. I was initially going to get the programmable type and clone them however I am able to get to the Wheel Set Change Mode on my vehicle through the buttons on my steering wheel and they vehicle will relearn the codes. And I believe it allows two sets to be stored so I should be good...

wow, that is inexpensive 4 for under $40 total , that sounds too good to be true. My 2021 RAV4 has a mode that I can get into via the dash / steering wheel buttons that will allow me to register relearn the the new sensors. Its called "Change Wheel Set Mode". So I won't need a tool to register...

Hello Here is some background info: I have a 2021 Toyota RAV4 LE which was purchase new from a Toyota Dealer in California, vin number starts with 2 which means the the vehicle assembly began in Canada, it doesn't mean it was finished being assembled there. The LE comes stock with steel...
