Hello, thank you for writing in. The oil should be changed at the same time as the oil separator is replaced. The separator is not located in a place where the oil needs to be drained to access it, so...
If what you describe is all you had done then I would have to say it may have been on the high side of pricing for parts and labor. I would however need to see the work order to know...
Hello and thank you for contacting YourMechanic. The code P1684 is for a battery disconnect from the battery to the computer system. The corrosion on the battery cable will block electrical current from traveling from the battery to the computer....
I'm curious as to what "weight" of oil they put in. Most manufacturers now warn against using anything heavier than 10W30 for oil pressure relief valve (overpressure on cold start) reasons. While this is not common, overpressure due to a...
The "technique to get it out" depends on exactly where it is. There is sometimes a possibility of a foreign item safely staying in place but admittedly in a transmission that is a speculative proposition. At any rate, there are...
Any time you disconnect a battery all the modules in your car loose their internal memory. When you changed your battery the engine control module was reset and it may take a few weeks for it to relearn your engine...
Hi Valerie. We'd be happy to come to your location to replace your alternator on the Chrysler 200 and you can request an estimate by clicking this link. However, I'm not 100% certain that is the source of your error...
This may be caused by many things such as low fuel pressure, a bad mass air flow sensor or a faulty idle air control valve. Low fuel pressure can cause an engine to starve for fuel due to irregular fuel...
You will need to add about 1 quart of fluid that was lost when the radiator and hoses were changed. Check transmission level and if problem continues then you may need to have transmission checked. Just low on fluid will...
An inspection should be carried out to see if any part of the the wiring loom was crushed, pinched, or cut during the installation of the motor. A starting/charging system test can be performed to ensure proper operation and cranking...
The acceleration sensor assembly that you have (your original), that is Lexus part number 89190-44010, was used from November 2002 through July 2007. The other two you refer to are not interchangeable at all with your original. Part number 89190-60030...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The symptoms you are having are classic of a failing alternator. While the battery can be damaged and fail due to the vehicle relying solely on it for power while running, you will want...
You may have a clogged fuel filter or low fuel pressure? Also a computer sensor that is failing can cause this problem. I recommend having a mechanic like one from YourMechanic test the computer for codes and check fuel pressure...
Yes, you can change the language by following the same steps in the display menu when choosing languages. You may be able to find a step-by-step guide in your owners manual. The menu items usually come up in the same...
This sounds like you have electrical connection issues with the dash or body control module. These vehicles are known to have electrical connection corrosion buildup that caused these erratic electrical problems including no starts and running issues. This problem will...
Hi there. If the car is showing a code it would truly help to know what the code is. If the car was running fine prior to the gaskets being installed and it is running rough now then it is...
Hi, there may be too much air coming through the cabin air filter inlet located in the engine bay, and the turbulence of it causes the clarinet sound. I suggest that the condition of the cabin air filter is checked...
The fact that the oil pressure drops when slowing down or stopping would suggest that the oil pressure is lower at lower engine RPM's. This means that the oil level volume is low. The oil capacity in an engine is...
Hello. This is a very rare and strange problem to have in a car. My thought is that something is putting too much load on the car when you are turning left. A load is when a component of the...
