Just wanted to give an update, I finally had a chance to take the car into the shop to have the AC system inspected. The system was low on refrigerant. After having the system recharged and dye added they ran the car for awhile and could not find any signs of a leak, I was asked to bring it back...

+1 on the end links going bad.

Everything works fine. The question at hand is if this is a sign of something. I've only had the car for about 10k miles and the AC rarely used. Now that my wife is driving it and the kids can finally go in it, the ac is always on, which is why I noticed it. Might be nothing. As AC systems tend...

2005 Subaru Impreza with about 95K miles on it. When the AC is on, it cycles on and off every 30 seconds or so, when it cycles on it sounds almost like a blow off valve PPSSST AC works fine, blows very cold. What would cause the compressor to make a PSSST sound? Other than the pssst sound...

Sorry didn't list weight, I've been running the T6 5W40 in my subaru for 3-4 years, this last oil change I noticed the bottle changed and google came up with a bunch of people being worried which got me wondering about it. so CG4-SM lable wise got dropped. Based on the oil sample I...

Looking for advice on what all has changed with the Rotella T6, is it still a good go to oil for Turbo Subarus? I tried using the search feature but it keeps giving me off topic results. Thoughts on the changes? I believe it changed late 2016 to a new formula.

Pretty sure the auto stores around here do too. But I like my 2 day free shipping. Plus returns are super easy. Most of the time free.

They are now Amazon Prime so I'm pretty sure if I needed to return them Amazon would have my back. I sent the company an e-mail asking them for advice. If no response by next week I'll take things up with Amazon.

I ordered some Tofnkshop struts from amazon.com to replace my rear window struts on my Trailblazer, they installed easily however when I went to close the window it wouldn't move at all! So I removed them and tried compressing the struts which had ZERO give, I tried rotating the shaft on the...

212 is the boiling point. My guess is at some point it just evaporates and works its way out as steam.

2015 Mazda 6 Just did an oil change and while I had the plastic cover off the motor, I sprayed the engine bay off since it had a lot of sand/dirt, (which I do with all my carS) didn't spray any connections directly, just short burst in the areas which has the build up of dirt. once done, wipe...

T6 from walmart is what I use in my 05 STI with 95K miles on it. $21-22 for 5 quarts. intake, exhaust, injectors, access port, custom tune... list goes on...

Last time i did a timing belt job on D series motor the hardest part hands down was removing the bolt off the crank pulley. I didn't have an impact gun and had to use a very long breaker bar, go figure I snapped a snap-on socket trying to get it to break loose. Never again will I attempt...

My subaru doesn't have caliper pins, I feel left out of this convo. however, for the OP, chances are you cant see it without pulling it apart.

With my older civic I had issues with the cap/rotor. I'm not sure which year they dropped the distributor but I do know the 2000 civics had cap/rotors. Would cause my car not to start at random. Main relay is a very common problem and is what I originally thought my problem was...

To answer your question. Air gets in system, pedal goes soft, your leak must be hit/miss and is somehow self bleeding? once the air spits out the leak the pedal gets firm until it draws air in again.

Doesn't seem like you are going to take the steps to inspect the car or take it to a shop. Personally I wouldn't drive it until I knew what the issue was. Even if it meant getting under the car at 2am so I can try to fix it before having to work the next day. If you have a failure you could...

Is the system empty or are they just blindly topping it off? Could be the expansion valve. Hondas have issues with them. But if the system truly is losing freon then clearly there's a major issue somewhere. If it's losing enough freon to have an issue after 2 days I'd assume placing the...
