Hello. If you suspect that the sensor was not replaced then that can be why the light is coming on. I would need to know what code is coming from the computer for it to be able to tell better...
It sounds like you ended up with a "workshop" lock cylinder. That is a cylinder that you put in to get a car back in action while waiting on the correct cylinder. The workshop cylinder has it's own keys, but...
Hello. Typically if you get a grinding noise from the rear of the vehicle along with shaking it can be a differential issue. It can be a failure in the differential pinion bearing or it may just be an issue...
Hello, thank you for writing in.The best way to determine the cause of the leak is to locate where it is coming from. There are several cooling system components in that area including hoses and the heater core. Both components...
Hi there. From what you are explaining it does sound like an issue with the transmission. An issue like this is best diagnosed and repaired by a transmission specialist.
Hi there. The lock in the steering column is activated by a solenoid and it could be either loosing power or the lock could be damaged making the steering wheel lock and hard to unlock. Also, the ignition switch could...
There are more than ten principal causes of rough idle and that list doesn't include potential mechanical faults such as uneven cylinder compression. By far, the most efficient strategy to resolve this issue is to request a rough engine idle...
While many cars today do not have a transmission fluid dipstick and fill point, yours should still have one. The dipstick handle is not red like most vehicles have to indicate transmission fluid. I believe yours is yellow. With the...
An overheating situation can cause serious damage both to internal engine components and electrical connections, which is perhaps why you're having problems with the instrument cluster. You should probably have a professional mechanic come to your location first and complete...
Hi there. Thanks for contacting YourMechanic.com. In order to provide you with an estimate for replacing your brakes on the Volvo S60, we'll need to gather some additional information about your location and the car. To begin this process, please...
To check for engine-mount problems, you can try shifting from "neutral" to "drive" and back, while the engine is running. If the vibrations disappear or reduce dramatically in "neutral," it’s likely that you need new engine mounts. Whenever there is...
Hi There, A number of sensors may become faulty in hot weather conditions which will ultimately cause the check engine light to come on. As the weather gets hotter, many sensors, fuel injectors and other components such as ignition coils...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Both codes relate to some kind of air leak. This may mean the MAF sensor has failed and is not capable of sending the signal for that air, or it may be an actual...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Every vehicle is going to need maintenance and repairs eventually. At 50,000 miles, the vehicle likely does not have much that in needs in the form of repairs, but it may be time for...
Hi there. It is possible that either the starter is not properly installed or there is an electrical fault in the ignition system (or on the starter itself). It's also possible that the starter was not the only component that...
That's a curious mess of problems. I would first suspect a problem in the ignition switch itself. The switch has several separate circuits and one of them may be dropping out causing the seeming random failures. Since your transmission is...
You may have a failing voltage regulator that could be allowing the alternator to supply too much or too little amperage to the battery resulting in the battery never maintaining a consistent charge as it is designed to. The voltage...
There are several schools of thought on that, but most often, the manufacturers do not recommend lubricating the wheel nuts. Here is a link to an article about installing wheel nuts Some technicians and tire stores are careless about tightening...
Hi there. This step is designed to maintain forward brake pressure on the pedal to reduce the potential of air bubbles from seeping into the master cylinder and causing additional problems with bleeding brakes. However, since you need to completely...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The fuel filter is located on the driver's (left) side of the vehicle. It will be inline, so finding a fuel line and tracing it should help you locate the cylindrical filter. It will...
