    '91 Peugeot 309, weird whine coming from either the clutch or transmission

    So I think I got it figured out by now, but I'd still like a second opinion before I make my parts list ready, so far this forum's been the most helpful when it came to all my issues. So it sounds kind of like a worn alternator bearing, or wind whooshing by you. but it's not that. It's most...

    Carburted car runs fine while it's day, stutters at night

    It's like a bad superhero. Runs fine and dandy during the day but then if I try to run it at night it constantly stutters in 1st and 2nd gear at lower RPMs, I know that's normal but it doesn't happen during the day. Temperature doesn't affect the stuttering, could be freezing during noon it will...

    What joke has your car pulled on your for April Fools?

    Mine decided that it would be a great prank to make me sweat all the way home by making the cabin fan die today. I sprayed the vent holes with WD-40 and I'll just hope that'll unstuck the fan or something. Has your car been good to you today or do you regret ever buying it today?

    Are carburetors supposed to do this?

    In my 1991 Peugeot 309 when it's colder outside, no matter the engine temperature, when I'm driving on low revs for a while and then add a more "generous amount" of gas the engine just stops responding and then suddenly springs forward violently. Only happens when I'm in 1st gear and rarely 2nd...

    Duct tape as temporary rustproofing? Good, bad, waste of time?

    So I don't enjoy driving my cars in the winter, and my latest one especially, since there is no rustproofing left on it what-so-ever. Used to be there under the fenders, still some rubberized coating left from it's glory days, but mostly it's just bare metal now. Now I live in one of the poorest...

    Removing oily fingerprints from the bodywork

    So after working on the car I get oil on my hands naturally, and I accidentally touch the fenders and hood, and since my car has white paint it's really noticeable. I tried regular water, soapy water, dishwasher, WD-40, but nothing removes it. Anyone got more experience it in?

    Bought an old car: Should I change the oil and what should I use?

    I just bought a 1991 Peugeot 309 with a 1.4 liter carbuerated engine. The car has 88k km on the tachometer and has been sitting in a yard for 2 years. I checked the oil and it's at full level and black like it should be, however I don't know when it's been changed for the last time and I don't...
