The windshield wiper blades are responsible for keeping the windshield clean and clear from rain, snow, slush, and everything else that gets kicked up on it. Without these wiper blades, we...
One of the key parts of the engine is the intake manifold, whose main role is to ensure that the right air-fuel mix arrives on time at each of the engine’s...
This is a loaded question. The answer completely depends on what you intend to do with the vehicle. For normal usage, daily driving, or what-have-you, EPDM hoses are the material of choice. They work extremely well and can last for...
The short answer is yes. There are two types of wiper blades on the market today. One is definitely more prone to damaging your window than the other if the blade should become damaged. The soft rubber that floats...
Your wiper blades are subject to wear from dirt and debris that is wiped from your windshield or has accumulated on the wiper blade itself. The wiper blade rubber dries out and cracks from environmental elements, and they can tear...

As you know, when your car is started in cold weather in the mornings, the belts are also cold and much less pliable than when they are warm. As the engine speeds up at a much faster pace than the...
Timing belts are rubber based products. Rubber deteriorates with age and that deterioration can be accelerated by storage conditions. I have seen belts vended that are 6 years old or older, which is well past a reasonable interval. Consequently, if...
Hi there. The engine revving up higher than normal could be caused by the idle air control valve (IAC). The valve could have gotten stuck when the engine was throttled rapidly when first started. Check the IAC and see if...
The reason a time interval is stated alongside a mileage interval is because the rubber component of the timing belt deteriorates with age regardless of whether the belt is used or not. In fact, in a recent case I dealt...
