Where was it sitting? Parked outside in Coastal Maine, or in a garage in Phoenix?

How about taking the car for a test drive in the very stretch of road you are concerned with?

1.5 miles isn't going to do any damage to the Fiat Turbo 1.4 engine. When my wife bought her 2012 Abarth, included was the Trackday Experience that came with it. One of the things they went over was that overfilling the engine by half a quart is helpful to prevent cavitation in high speed...

Here's the thing no one has mentioned yet: The dealer tech has to take a pay cut to work on your car that's under warranty. Lets say that he normally gets paid $30 per hour on Customer Pays work. And let's say that its an actual involved issue, like replacing the lifters on a Dodge Ram or a...

A vehicle that is just a few years old, with low mileage, shouldn't have a CEL on, for any reason. If it does, you bought a pile of crap. In my garage is a 12 year old Fiat 500 Abarth, with 45k miles. More than a few years old, with low mileage. Do you know how many times the MIL has been on? 0...

I have long distance delivered a couple of motorcycle engines. Ninja 250 engine from NYC to Tennessee, and a Ninja 600 engine from NYC to New Brunswick, Canada. Does that count?

I decided to keep it. Popped it in, car fired right up. Start Stop started working every time once again. Not my primary car, so if it punks out early (before 4 years), I'll get a new one.

What were you doing to the Alfa? So, you're just like 85% of Americans. I'm guessing you're not really a "Car Guy", according to the "standard" set by people like Jeremy Clarkson, ex-host of the car show "Top Gear". I did. Twice. 2021 Giulia and a 2022 Stelvio. An Alfa Romeo dealer would be...

Have you test driven the car yet? Specs don't mean anything until you are behind the wheel.

For a misfire code, I would also put a borescope down the indicated cylinder and look for signs of coolant weepage, too, with the cooling system under pressure, just to rule that out as a possible cause for the misfire.

Think of all the other emissions or fuel related stuff no longer needed with electric cars: No purge solenoids No catalytic convertors No tank pressure sensors No egr valves No pcv valves No spark plugs, wires, or ignition coils No camshaft or crankshaft position sensors No vapor canisters or...

If you have proof of the lifetime warranty in your purchase documentation, you can give them one last change to replace your battery. Ask them if it would cost them more or less to replace the battery, or to pay their lawyers to defend their stance in court? And also, on your side, you have to...

When you BOUGHT the battery, it CAME WITH a LIFETIME warranty. You need to remind YUASA of that. They are legally required to offer you a replacement. What warranty their battery offers today does not matter to you. And argue with them, not us.

You got 1 year, 11 months, and 1 day out of the cheapest 1 year battery money can buy. I think you got your moneys worth. The real question you should be asking yourself is how much longer you are planning on keeping the CX-5, and then take steps to help your next battery last that long. Better...

I have VioFo dashcams in all three cars. A combination of A129 and A119 cameras.

Yes, the Hornet is being sold for only $10k in PA dealers. Must be because people keep saying that it was built and designed by Alfa Romeo. /s Reading comprehension is hard for some people, I guess.

The oil level gauge on my Stelvio: The Cayman oil level gauge looks more like this: The owners manuals for each vehicle tells you how much oil it takes to get from the minimum mark to the maximum mark, and may even tell you how much each individual segment is, if you can't divide the amount...

So I bought this EverStart Platinum H6 battery on Friday to replace the OEM H6 that is currently in my 2015 Cayman, and is now nearing the 9th year on this planet. Recent testing of the OEM battery is showing that is now on the brink of needing to be replaced, and the Start/Stop functionality of...

You can't really jump start a fully electric car. What you can do, and it does work, is tow them with their ignition on, and their regen set to maximum. A short tow can give them a good amount of range.

Do you happen to have proof of any part of this being true? Looks like someone already proved that the "Made in China" part is incorrect. So, can you prove that the fuel pump is made by children, or in a factory with dirt floors?
