    general engine question 4cyl Mitsubishi

    you can check codes with an analog volt meter but you'll still need the manual to interpret the codes. local library perhaps? the main library where i live has a pretty extensive selection of auto repair manuals. you could also try searching the internet for a site like this devoted to...

    general engine question 4cyl Mitsubishi

    if you have a service manual, i'd check for codes first. how does the car idle? something else you can try: get the car to that point between 2000-2500rpm where it hesitates and then manually downshift the tranny but keep your foot steady on the throttle. (i'm assuming this is an...

    How to get wheel studs off if the key is lost?

    i second that. every tool truck, ( Matco, Snap-on, Mac, etc.) sells complete socket sets to remove just about every kind of wheel lock. anyone really motivated to steal your wheels will probably have such a set.

    Mercedes experts on MUd?

    great cars if taken care of...i love that straight 6. big money pits if not taken care of. definitely have a pre-purchase inspection done. if you're looking for something with a little more room and muscle, the W126 (560sel) is a great car. same caveats as above apply. keep us posted...

    Bmw Question?

    BMW Bring Money Willingly Nice cars when everything is working...need deep pockets when things aren't. BMWs are a mechanic's dream, (i'm one of them,) because everytime one rolls in, even for an oil change, you'll find something wrong with it. caveat emptor

    School me on older Volvo vs Mercedes vs ??? diesel wagons

    can't really go wrong with a 300TD wagon. however, 300,000 miles is lot even for a mercedes diesel. the non-turbos are slow so i'm a fan of the turbo diesels. make sure the turbo is in good repair for they are not cheap to replace. as others have said, the older mercedes diesels hold their...

    Mercedes 300D parts house?

    i've got two old benzes and this site is the least expensive of the many online parts retailers: http://www.autohausaz.com/ they don't have the most comprehensive catalog but i've done business with them numerous times and have been happy with them. avoid this site for parts. great site...
