Hello there, many faults will cause your 2004 Cadillac SRX to overheat after driving for 15-20 minutes. When head gaskets fail the most common signs are the coolant level dropping without visible leaks, white smoke from the tail pipe, and...

It sounds like you may have a faulty MAP sensor. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load and generates a signal that is proportional to the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold. The engine computer then uses...

Hi There, This may be a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears. Every time a gear change is required, the car's computer activates...

Hi there. The sound is more like a differential sound that is making a click sound. There seems to be too much free play on the gear train inside the transmission. This is determined by only the sound occurring when...

Hello. Some times when the engine overheats it can cause some serious internal engine damage that will cause a loss of compression. If this occurs then the engine will need to be rebuilt. I would check the compression first. If...

It is more likely that the water pump is leaking from its front seal. The leak will show up from the center of the motor area and will drip off the bottom of the timing cover. The timing cover on...

If oil and coolant have mixed or are mixing, whether in the radiator or in the crankcase, the cause of those "leaks" has to be identified and repaired first. If you were to diagnose the no start condition, even if...

Hi there. That's a very good question; however, we need a bit more information in order to give you an accurate idea as to what's causing this roaring sound. If the roaring sound is coming during acceleration, it could be...

A starter like any other mechanical and electrical part is subject to failing sometimes for no apparent reason. However, sometimes this is misdiagnosed as well and often times mistaken for something much more simple like a fuse or starter relay....

You could have a bent rim or a bent hub. I would have the rim and hub checked to see which one is bent. I would recommend having a mechanic, like the certified ones at YourMechanic, come and check it...

The wheel cylinders are fairly easy to service for a novice mechanic. You'll have to remove the brake drum and remove the metal brake line on the back of the wheel cylinder using a 10mm line wrench. Then remove the...

Coolant leaks may come from a variety of places such as any of the hoses that go to or from the radiator to the motor, the thermostat housing, the water pump or potentially the radiator itself. I would suggest having...

The airbag light can come on for many reasons. The most common reason is for the seat belt switch failing and for the seat position switch failing. I recommend checking the engine's computer system (ECM) and checking for the airbag...

Hi there. Unfortunately, this is not a service our mobile mechanics offer. I would highly recommend contacting a local Porsche mechanic to dealer to request a quote for this type of service.

The idle speed may be elevated due a a large vacuum leak. When unmetered air has entered the engine, the vehicle may try to compensate by adding fuel. The extra air and fuel translate to an increased idle speed. Have...

The Integra axle may not work with your hubs, and you could end with the same concern. If the original transmission will bolt correctly to the Integra engine, then the civic axles will work. However, with mismatching transmission and hubs,...

As unlikely as it may be, you could have three failed door motors; it has happened to me in the past. However, fuses, relays, a master switch, or the BCM could also be at fault. Check all fuses/relays and replace...
