2018 Pathfinder. I first noticed this a couple of winters ago probably around 50k and I'm at almost 110k now. When it's below about 25f on an overnight cold-start there's what sounds almost exactly like a "laughing Hyena" coming from the engine bay and I'm worried it's the water/oil pump. It...

I've seen online that others have this issue on their 2017 but there's no fix that I know of. -Battery is good, it cranks fine -MAF sensor, air filter, throttle body are clean I've tried cycling the ignition on and off, leaving it on for a bit, keeping my foot on the brake too long, taking...

I have a 2005 Silverado with an undiagnosed electrical issue. Back in June I started it and after a few seconds, the engine slowly revved up to about 2500rpm and died. It cranked over fine but wouldn't start. I tried a lot but assumed the fuel pump died. Last month I tried starting it again...

I have a 140k mile '16 Passat 1.8 and an 80k mile '17 Pathfinder 3.5. Both are cared for and not needing maintenance. Let me start with this analogy: You know when someone pulls out in front of you and steps on it with a cold engine, and you can smell metal? Yesterday I started my car when it...

I saw ethanol-free gas for the first time when I went on a trip to Bar Harbor recently. The closest gas station that offers it is 30 minutes away from anywhere I go, but I think it's worth it. Before I started using it, I always averaged 25-26 mpg and getting about 370 miles a tank during...

My 2016 Caravan was truly great, but I sold it because I missed the driving dynamics of a sport sedan/hatch. So I have the choice between a few vehicles. All are around $6500 with good miles. 1. 2011 VW Golf TDI 2. 2012 VW Jetta 2.5 (several to choose) 3. 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2.0t I've never...

I have a Whirlpool HE washing machine circa 2012. Because it's an efficiency model, it stops during cycles a lot and does virtually nothing. However I realize now its doing something because it randomly makes a very loud zip-tie sound 2-3 times in about 5 minutes. I don't see a an easy way to...

Hi-Ho Silver! Seems good but they suggested solder compound on the newer engine, but I've seen many new engines with 0. Cause for concern?

Changed all brakes on my 2016 Caravan today because they have been "wobbling" so bad it makes a ton of noise. Well, besides the outer rear driver's brake pad, which was down to literally the backing plate, they were all 90%. It seems the pads were replaced but not the rotors. So anyways I...

2017 Pathfinder. Old links were straight top and bottom. I got beefy "off-road" ones but for some reason the bushings are pivoted almost full turn, and when I turned the wheels, they started binding depending on the direction because the bushings couldn't twist anymore. This is the only way they...

I never shut off my house or car ac if the compressor is running. On my new window AC's, when you turn it off it will shut off the compressor but actually wait several seconds to turn the fan off if the compressor is running. On my cars, I'll shut the ac off but leave the air on before shutting...

2017 Nissan Pathfinder 4wd. About 800 miles ago I noticed my power steering fluid was low. I added Pentosin CHF-11S because interestingly, Renault makes the steering system. Renault itself uses the same Pentosin but recently, when cornering at higher speeds and returning the wheel back to the...

In laws 2004 Highlander with the 3.3 just rolled 230k on the original timing belt. Maintenance throughout it's life has been negligible at best. When I asked about the timing belt, the response was "What's that?" What do you suppose it looks like after 17 years of 4 seasons and spirited driving?

2016 Caravan 3.6, 245k miles. Coil boots wouldn't come off. Soaked with PB blaster and still ripped apart. Problem is, between the coil springs and packs is a little fuse nut thing. With the utmost care, 3 of them still flew off into the night and I'll never find them. I ordered a new...

I changed the waterpump, tstat, and radiator on a 2003 Tacoma. It had the original atf-red coolant. I refilled with the universal Supertech just to make sure it runs good and to move the truck, as I bought it wrecked. I'm seeing Toyotas red coolant is IAT, and I've seen that it's HOAT. Should I...

1994 Dodge Caravan. I'm replacing the brake lines, and I need to move the van around every so often. I gently use the parking brake to stop after putting the van in neutral. Sometimes it drags the wheels to a stop. Here's the issue- every time I move it, the rear right wheel seems to move...

I've never seen this before and can't find anything about it. I bought this new radiator from someone who didn't end up needing. I opened the original box to find the transmission connections are some bubble or flare bolt and not the pipe like it's supposed to be. I even looked up the part...

I have an issue with my 2017 Pathfinder, and I've seen the same problem on other newer nissans but few and far between with no fix. So weather doesn't matter, doesn't matter if the engine is cold or warm, doesn't matter if Ive been using 93 or 87 octane, or how much gas is in it. When going to...

Got a 2009 Scion XB with the auto trans- 160k miles. It was shifting fine but the whole car was neglected so I did a drain and fill with MaxLife. It's compatible (Dextron VI) but now is shifting worse. You can feel it sometimes now, sometimes it shudders into OD and when cold it kind of feels...

My grandmother sadly and suddenly passed away and left her 1993(ish) Dodge Caravan. It's been parked in her driveway for almost 10 years. It's only got 80k miles on it, so I'd like to try getting it going. I don't remember how much gas is in it but I've heard people say anywhere from gas is junk...
