So I don't own one but I know someone who does (2012 Santa Fe 2.2crdi) and we discuss the vehicle fairly regularly. The vehicle isn't serviced as regularly as it should and it currently has above 180000kms on the clock. The engine has decent power for its displacement, with no visible intercooler. I...

Tint your front glass with the Llumar Air80 heatblocker tint it is a clear slightly blue heatblocking tint it is pricey, I paid $600 in 2015, heard around $800 now but worth every cent your front dash wont get scorching hot anymore, just barely warm when driving. Before I would run my ac on level 3...

Would like to know what vehicle it is My observation is that if there is a single reservoir feeding two brake circuits, the partition in the reservoir only goes part of the way up; like 50% of the way up. So any fluid filled above 50% overflows into the next partition. If you are looking for grabby ...

Might be vehicle specific, but in my experience the brakes are fed crossways. Front left with rear right and front right with rear left.

With regards to the brakes not holding... Cheap brake pads, brakes not bedded in, uneven rotor surface...

I think they were planning to put a traffic light there. All those lines they painted just created confusion in that section of road.

I also don't recall any "stop sign" for cars traveling in the direction the red car was headed

Did you use a dash integration harness? Or did you all cut and join? The harness is really easy to prepare when out of the vehicle As regards bass Smallest foot print items i can think off will be a 6" or 8" sub behind the back seat And a mini amp eg. a stetsom 20210917_162314.jpg 2021091...

So had to replace my replacement stereo receiver(deck) approximately 2 years after install. The pioneer unit I had started flickering or not displaying anything at all. It also became difficult to control as the buttons would work on occasion. It still played once you didn't touch any buttons. I bel...

I can't recall the video... But my take is you get some benefits of an ev (like acceleration), but all the drawbacks of an internal combustion engine (regular engine oil changes and all other associated servicing like plugs filters etc.) I think the battery is too small to allow the engine to run at...

I have finally made up my mind guys ... Buying a Foreign New Xtrail epower, Hybrid so no taxes. Spoke to a mechanic who has worked on Nissan note epower vehicles before. Seems like a reliable system. The last xtrail gen hybrid had serious issues, input shaft was cracking and brake actuators were fa...

Geez... Who designed these lights that require me to unbolt my fender liner to change a park light bulb... Older design was a 2 minute job under the hood.

Hope the LED replacements last longer as I have no desire to do this again.

Good day folks... I need some help for a friend. Their Santa Fe(2013-2018 model) low beam headlight output is extremely poor; almost no visibility in the night with it on. If it has to be driven in the night it has to be done with the high beams everywhere. The vehicle has halogen projectors for the...

That second vid doesn't make logical sense Those two cars weren't in view of the driver for the entire time while approaching the "hill". Then when the driver crests the hill the one car moves into the path of the driver from the left lane. Those two cars had to be stopped there a few mome...

paria keep rehashing about didn’t want any risk in rescue, like they rehearse that over and over That makes sense though.

I'm starting to see reports of head gasket failures for the Honda 1.5t engine.
The engine components look weak compared to previous gen engines coming from Honda... And they added boost to the equation.

Thanks for the response. Hydrophobicity might not be the best thing to judge when paint protection is gone, but it is the only visual indication I have. I usually get around 4 months with sealants which transition over the period from water beading to where the water appears to stick to the surface ...

what kind of oil does the pressure washer use? 2 cycle oil ? You could do a search for the engine that drives the pump in your pressure washer and see what's recommended. Usually it is automotive 10w30 oil with an old spec like API sf/sg for the engine. If the oil in your pump can be changed the re...

I would prefer the new Lexus over the used Lexus/Porsche My personal gripe would be knowing that my vehicle is related to a cheaper version from the same umbrella of companies In the case of the new Lexus - I would only see it as a rebadged and facelifted Camry or other Toyota vehicle. In the case o...
