How to change oil on a Jeep Patriot?
I'm in the market for a used van. I believe that the problem of turbochargers "blowing up" in the Hyundai iLoad was solved at some stage.
Could you tell me which year/MY's are "safe" to buy?
How to reset maintenance light on Toyota RAV4?
We have a 2002 Subaru Forester (2.0L) with 260,000 km on the clock. It doesn't burn any oil between services and is in good condition all round. What oil grade would you recommend?
My 2017 Renault Megane is due for its one-year service. While booking online it asked for the total mileage of my car. While I never really paid attention to this when I first brought it, I checked the odometer and it said 12,600 km, but on the "on-board computer" it said from the date of my purchase 9500 km.
Has the dealer cheated me? Is there anything I can do since it has already been a year? And what can I say when I bring my car to service with them?
Have there been any reports of cracks appearing in the inner guard in the engine bay just forward of the compliance plate of the Isuzu MU-X?
I have seen some reports about the D-Max that seems to have the same complaint. I have an OEM bull bar and have upgraded the suspension to a 2-inch Old Man Emu lift. Our 2015 MU-X does the occasional off-roading and has done one big trip across the desert, but is mainly used on road as a passenger vehicle.
I noticed my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe was lurching when in Drive when stopped at traffic lights, and also my screen would turn off or go between screens for no reason.
I took it to the local Hyundai dealer and they said there was nothing they could find, and to bring it in when it happens again. I never travel down that way and it didn't happen all the time, and when it did and I was down that way it was out of hours.
When I put the vehicle in for its 15,000 km service at the same place I asked about both items again, especially the lurching, and they again said they couldn't find anything wrong? I then went to another Hyundai and asked them about the lurching.
They said the brake clutch solenoid was faulty in the valve body and needs replacing under warranty. They also recommended the auto trans fluid be replaced along with the auto pan gasket. The solenoid is being replaced under warranty, but I have to pay for auto trans fluid and the pan gasket, a total of $560.
The car isn't quite two-years old and we purchased it a year ago. This would not have to be done yet as the vehicle is still quite new, but because the solenoid is faulty and they have to access the solenoid, this has to be done. This should then be covered under warranty, or not?
If I don't get the fluid and gasket replaced, they can't fix the solenoid? Do I have reason asking for this to be covered under warranty? I know fluids and oils aren't covered under warranty, but if the solenoid weren’t faulty would I really need to be doing this? Can you help?
