I'm hoping someone has a technical opinion on a Haldex issue on my TT with the Gen 1 unit. When the fluid is cold, it seems the Haldex clutches are not fully disengaged and backing out of the garage at a 90 degree angle binds the driveline and the inside wheel in the back hops. I've changed the...

I have a Maytag french door bottom mount freezer (MFF2557HES) that is causing some trouble. The freezer cools as it should down to -1°F but I'm having a hard time getting the fresh food section to hold 37°F. When going through the diagnostics everything tests out as it should, including the...

My new-to-me allroad is great in all aspects, except one so far. I can hear a low rumbling noise from the front drivetrain in low speed tight turns, such as pulling into and out of a parking spot. It only makes noise when I turn the steering wheel more than half of a revolution. It does it in...

So after I saw the post on the secret sale at DT on July 2nd and 3rd, it was finally time to replace the Michelin MXV4 tires that were down to the wear bars after only 43,500 miles. Because of the great experience I've had with the Falken Pro G4 tires the previous owner put on my Trex before I...

I have been given a free Toro 16-38XL because my friend is tired of it not working. The symptoms are that even with a brand new battery that reads 12.55 volts it will not turn over more than one revolution at a time and then stop at the top of the compression stroke. I have a new battery, new...

The vehicle in question is the Taurus X in my sig. It had new brakes put on by the previous owners right before I bought it, and now 10k miles later it's developing the shakes at highway braking speeds. At lower speeds, it won't shake but I can feel the brakes grab 100% and then back off some...

Is this pressure washer pump housing in any way repairable? In the first picture, it's not cracked all the way up to where it gets dark just to the point where I stopped beveling out the crack. The line is a casting mark. In the second picture, the hole inside of the threads is where it...

When I purchased the Taurus X in November, I had noticed that there was gear lube on the lower crossmember right below the PTU and I knew that I would have to deal with some type of leak. What I didn't know when I took it in to have the PTU fluid serviced was that there was no fluid left in it...

So the ZF 5HP19FLA in my Audi is having a problem keeping the torque converter in lockup at highway speeds when it encounters any kind of hill. It will accelerate normally for a few seconds, but will pop out of lockup when going up any hill and trying to maintain speed. The disengage is...

So I just installed a new radial axial pump on a 5.5hp Honda powered pressure washer to replace the one that gave up the ghost, but upon first run I'm having problems. Related facts: 5/8" garden hose with residential water pressure, no ball valves or quick connects to limit the volume of water...

Good Morning Friends - Over the weekend, I had a local wrench change out my failing torque converter for me and all went well. No broken bolt or exhaust clamps and the Audi is back to 100%. The one thing that bothered me a bit was that he added a bottle of Trans-X to the fluid when he...

Hey all - I just picked up a good used LB with the 6.5hp Duraforce and will be using it for the first time this weekend. It's sat unused for a year, so when I started it before buying it, it had a small amount of white smoke coming out of the muffler. The previous owner stated that he used the...

Will this be any kind of problem in my future? I pulled the after-run fan off today to clean out the debris that accumulates behind it, and while vacuuming out the junk these condenser fins started falling off. Will I eventually need to replace the condenser? The A/C still works great. Thanks.

Previously, I've had the Ody into the dealer for front end vibrations upon braking from highway speeds and the first time around they resurfaced the rotors and sent me on my way. The problem went away for another 12k miles, but on our recent trip to FL the problem came back as we were going...

I did a random UOA on the last run of M1 just to see what it would say. $11 at my local CAT dealer, so I figured what the heck. Wish I'd asked for a TBN number, but will probably do another UOA on the current fill and get that added on. They say that there's nothing out of the ordinary, but I'm...

Just thought I pass along the clearance I found at Menards over the weekend. 4T snow thrower oil in 5W-30 flavor for $1.89 a quart, plus an 11% rebate if you're so inclined to go through the hassle. It's the first time I've seen a 4T oil in a weight less than 10W-40. Would likely work well in...

Over the weekend, I pulled the timing belt and one roller and tensioner to fix up a coolant leak at the thermostat housing (stupid Audi engineers). I've been this far in the engine several times, so I'm confident in my work. Driving home from the office yesterday, I pulled off the highway and...

I currently have a minor annoyance with the Audi - after my 25 mile highway commute I park the car in the garage and 3-5 minutes later the auxiliary cooling fan will turn on at high speed. This is something that just recently started happening. I have the standard 87C thermostat, but via VCDS...

So the new to me Ariens lawnmower I picked up earlier this season is becoming difficult to start when it gets up to operating temp. The guy I bought it from told me this, but it really wasn't a problem when I first started using it. It would take 3 good pulls after a shut off to get it to fire...

The time has come to possibly send the A6 down the road and upgrade to something with a bigger back seat for child #3, so I've been looking at Taurii SHOs in my area. I've spotted a couple of them, but want to go into the negotiation knowing what a good price is and when I'm paying too much. So...
