Car Servicing

Are there any problems with the diesel engines in the 2017 Hyundai iLoad?

I brought a 2007 Mazda 6 the other day and now my transfer case is stuffed. What can I do about this problem?

I've already changed the clutch lining on my 2017 MU-X as I assumed it had a slipping clutch. The power to accelerate up hills improved, but it feels like the engine is having difficulty making more power at high speed and I can hear some unusual sounds from the engine bay whenever I step harder on the throttle. I had my oil changed, and the oil and air filters were also changed. Now I think I spent money for nothing. There is something wrong in the engine I can't figure out. I’d appreciate your input.

The clutch lever in my 2013 Ranger goes down and gets stuck. The gear lever locks and only unlocks when clutch lever is lifted up. I fitted a new clutch kit three months ago. What could be the problem?

I bought a Captiva LT 2009 four cylinder with two problems; a vibration between both driver’s and front passenger’s seat and, also a metallic noise coming continuously from below the engine. Are these problems major issues? Under acceleration I can feel the vibration changing.

I bought a 2013 Holden Captiva brand-new. The diesel-particulate warning light and beeps came on and made the car sluggish. It was sent back to the dealer but they could not recreate the problem in eight weeks. Then, it started blowing black smoke and required $5000 worth of fuel-injectors one month after warranty. Two starter motors later and limp-home mode has always been intermittent.

Now the particulate filter won't regenerate anymore, so we’re doing forced regeneration regularly. I went to new Holden dealer who said it could be easily fix, but they only ended up doing a forced regeneration. The vehicle is now due for service but no one wants to service it.

I was told to go to an auto electrician. The first week the codes cleared and the car drove well. Next forced regeneration and other codes came up. I’ve even fitted an exhaust temp sensor. The car has done 222,280 kms. Please help.

My 2013 Mondeo LX wagon has a transmission problem. The engine surges up to 5000rpm and speed remains the same, but it's okay in manual mode.

My 2000 Mazda 323 has a pick up issue, mechanic is asking about $1500. How much would it cost?

My 2012 Nissan X-Trail uses oil at one litre every 1500 kilometres and it always has a black sooty exhaust. Are the piston rings worn out? it’s now has 135,000km on the clock and car runs well.

Does the 2017 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4 have a timing belt or a timing chain?
