    Humming noise when going over 50 MPH and scraping noise when making left turns

    I've been hearing a loud "rumble" like noise coming from the 2006 Honda Accord's front end when driving over 50 MPH (steering wheel shakes ever so slightly, nothing crazy). It seems to be coming from the left side. Also, when I turn the steering wheel to the left, I hear what sounds like...

    Not sure if the transmission was slipping or the car was having a moment.

    I’m not sure if the transmission is screwed up on the Accord or if it was just tweaking. However, my younger brother was at the gym with Dad's 2013 Accord EX (CVT). He called me, saying he put the car in drive, and it started to shake violently. There was no check engine light or anything. He...

    What happened to BMW and its designs?

    Sportiness and elegance were always combined in older BMW designs. However, contemporary BMWs have a one-dimensional design language and are nothing but aggressive. Furthermore, the more recent models don't have an emotive automotive design, but rather a tech-centric product design language...

    Replace both sides pads and rotors or only the side where the Caliper is bad?

    Welp, the rear right-side caliper is frozen on the 2006 Accord. Do you guys recommend replacing both side pads and rotors or just the right sides? Brakes and rotors were replaced at 104K. I am at 125k miles.

    Underneath Valve Cover 2013 Honda Accord EX 2.4L

    I finally had time to do the VCG on Dad's Accord. It doesn't look bad underneath the valve cover. The car has 122k~ miles on it. I've been using Valvoline full synthetic 0w-20 oil along with Mobil 1 oil filter since 2013. Oil gets changed whenever the Maintenance reminder is down to 15%-25%...

    2006 Honda Accord EX V6 leaking oil

    Welp, we gotta leak, folks. It doesn't look like a transmission leak, so that's good. I can't tell where it's coming from. It's a 06 Accord V6 with 124k miles. It's not leaking like crazy—just a drop every two weeks or so. Video of leak...

    2013 Honda Accord VCG time

    Welp, it is time to do the VCG on the Accord. I am at 120k~ miles. Starting to seep a little. Nothing crazy. From my understanding, Mahle makes the OEM "Honda" branded gasket. I found a Mahle VCG kit on Autozone for $56. What's wild is I saw the same part number on Rockauto but under a different...

    2006 Honda Accord EX V6 excessive brake dust on one wheel.

    I picked up this 2006 Accord EX V6 last month with /121.5k miles on it. Put about 2k miles on it. So far so good. What I did recently notice is the rear right wheel collects way more brake dust than the other 3. The car brakes fine. I don't feel like the brake is dragging or smell anything odd...

    Doesn't look bad for a 19-year-old car

    Well, I picked this thing up 2~ weeks ago—a 2006 Honda Accord ex v6 w/122k miles. Had the typical Honda rust spots fixed (both rear quarters panels. Had them cut the old rusted metal and weld new metal. Had a little rust on the hood. The Body shop sanded it down and Bondo. You can kinda tell if...

    Cloyes timing belt

    Wassup guys? Just picked up a 2006 Accord EX V6 w/121k miles on it. How do I know if the timing belt has been done? P.O. said he has no idea on if it's been changed or not. Do y'all change the water pump at the same time or am I okay with doing just the belt, tensioner, etc? I was going to go...

    2006 Honda Accord 3.0 VSA light

    My buddy is looking at buying a 2006 Accord EX V6 w/86k miles on it. The owner mentioned that the VSA and CEL are on (not 100% sure if the VSA and CEL correlate). I have been trying to do some research on what the issues can be but haven't been able to get a legit answer. Wondering if you guys...

    Hey guys, I am looking at buying this 2006 Lexus ES330. It's got 127k miles on it. Owner is asking 5k. I offered him $3,700 (going to have to get the timing belt and waterpump done $500~). I was looking at the pictures again and noticed the passenger side quarter panel is starting to rust. Now...

    2008 Toyota Camry "rattle" noise from engine

    Any idea what this noise can be? I don't feel any kind of hesitation when driving. I have the oil changed every 6 months or 5k miles with full synthetic 5w-20. The car has 152,500 miles. I did the spark plugs and an ignition coil around 143k miles. Video of the noise

    Stripped spinning Lug nut 2011 Toyota Sienna

    My younger brother was complaining about hearing a squeaky noise coming from the left side wheel. He drives the Sienna to and from work (a 5-mile two-way drive). So, I looked at the brakes to see if the pad wear clip was put on backward. Welp, that didn't end well. I somehow ended up stripping...

    Body shop owner telling me this is rust popping up a year after he repaired the car.

    Dad had body work done on his 13 Accord 1.5~ year ago. Both side skirts were rusted, the rear bumper was scraped slightly, and the right side door had a dent (the car used to be my sisters. Go figures 😂). Dad took it to a body shop near us. The guy cut the rusted-out metal on both side skirts...

    Tires or Brakes? Which to do first?

    Alrighty boys, the daily (08 Camry) is due for brakes all the way around and tires. The pads all the way around are at 4mm~ and the tires are at 3/32~ all the way around. The brakes are started to "squeak" when I drive. Assuming it's the pad wear sensor. I drove through all of winter with these...

    Go through insurance or pay out of pocket?

    Sisters car got whacked in a parking garage downtown Chicago. There's a dent on the fender and paint scraped off the fender and bumper. Insurance deductible is $500. What do y'all think a body shop would charge to fix this? The dent should easily pop out using PDR ($50-$75) Not sure how much it...

    Toyota 2AZ-FE magically stopped burning oil

    Now I am not going to jinks myself *knocks on wood*. But, I used to add maybe a quart of oil every roughly 2-4 weeks in my 2008 Toyota Camry with the 2AZ-FE motor. The last time I added oil was 2 weeks ago. Since then, I noticed the car hasn't burned a drop of oil at all. Not sure how it...
