    Newer VW Gen3 engines with blue smoke?

    The cars got a tune, how do you know it’s not a poor tune that’s causing the smoke as opposed to the “it’s a VW it must be unreliable” finger pointing. Take the tune off and see if you still have the smoke. Hopefully the tune has not damaged anything too expensive. Remember if you want to...

    Did Ford/GM develop a more complicated transmission for the least gain?

    The ZF9 isn’t a fair comparison to the other transmissions on that list as it’s a transverse platform gearbox with a max torque rating of 480 nm. The Ford 10R140 is a longditudinal gearbox that has a max torque rating of 1424nm. A 2.0 diesel bolted to a ZF9 is going to pick up a bigger...

    I replaced one tire on my awd car

    I, personally, wouldn’t deny warranty coverage for a AWD system fault/ failure just because of the tread depths, how I can prove this is the sole reason behind the failure of the component?

    I replaced one tire on my awd car

    On MQB platform vehicles it’s max 3mm difference between the front and rear axel. So add fronts together then divide by two then add the rears together then divide by two. It’s these two numbers that need to be within 3mm.

    Pick up for a frontline use

    The Mercedes is a Nissan anyway if your looking at the 2.3 then it’s uses the Nissan engine and full running gear. The Fiat is a Mitsubishi L200 in reality so potentially the best buy considering price/ age.

    First Cybertruck imported to the UK

    If he is a UK resident then he must register the vehicle in the UK, a non resident can use a vehicle registered in another country for 6 months out of 12 months

    I wonder what vehicle class its Albanian registration has

    First Cybertruck imported to the UK

    I’m honestly no sure of the answers to all of your questions, as far as I’m aware for a vehicle less than 10 years old you need vehicle approval, it’s along the same lines as what a manufacturer goes through to sell a car new, and has safety and emissions standards. This is why a lot of what we...

    First Cybertruck imported to the UK

    If it’s registered in Albania then it hasn’t been imported into the UK. A UK import would be registered in the UK with a UK number plate. Weighing in at 4 tons I hope the driver has the correct drivers licence as a car licence is up to 3.5 tons, looks like this would need a LGV 7.5 ton...

    Lets generate a list of bad engines to avoid.

    I have quoted and left the parts the I feel make this engine “a bad engine”. I know this is down to personal opinion and for me putting a coolant pump inside an engine, especially inside the timing casing, is exactly what makes it a “bad engine”. A coolant pump will not last indefinitely and to...

    7 Years & 40k Service/OCI

    Would an oil like the Fuchs Titan GT1 with VW511 that you use in your Dacia not be a better fit considering the long drain interval that this car typically suffers?

    Costco Butter Recall

    The UK has Costco but not Sam’s Club, it’s got to be cheaper and less waste to have a employee apply a sticker to the product, if that means taking a 4 pack wrapped in plastic and removing the wrapping and putting a sticker on it, then selling it at 1/4 the original 4 pack price then I still...

    Costco Butter Recall

    Surely a sticker saying contains milk could have been stuck onto the butter packet?

    Terrifying BMW lane assist problem

    Yes he did he slammed on the brakes. The steering correct should drop off as soon as the driver applies force against what the car is trying to do. Your Granny should be able to over power it. It should not take “everything he had” to do it.
