Depending on the engine you have this price would be pretty close if both of them are being replaced. If this is for only one then it is high. You can get each manivertor online for less than $500 each...
This may be a sign of a faulty MAP sensor as the vehicle responds adversely to a load put on the motor (i.e. putting it in gear) as you describe. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load and...
First the noise needs to be tracked down to the specific components or system affected. Noises can come from worn components along the suspension system. Wheel bearings or drive belt pulleys are common failure items. Brake pads will definitely cause...
The piston rods that connect to the crankshaft are most likely bent. The bent rods will cause the engine to not turn over. The engine may need to be replaced.
The noise is coming from the internal transmission bearing or overriding clutches. Not all of these parts may have been replaced when the transmission was overhauled. I can only recommend having a qualified transmission mechanic come and listen to...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle is experiencing a leak either with the EVAP system, or pertaining to the fuel tank. A visual inspection of the fuel tank and filler neck can rule out any physical damage in...
There are many components that work together to ensure your vehicle produces low emissions. It can be something as simple as a vacuum leak or faulty PCV valve, or even a faulty oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. If you didn't...
Hi, thanks for writing in. In order to bleed a slave cylinder properly, it should be bench bleed just like a master cylinder. The best way to do this is to secure the slave cylinder into a voice connect plastic...
Hi there, thanks for writing in about your 2001 Mercedes Benz ML430. This problem could be caused by a slipping belt or a faulty belt tensioner. The power steering pulley needs to be observed while the car is parked and...
Hello, the CV joints are important components of the vehicle. When the joints fail, they can create vibration and could damage the transmission. Inspecting them should be done at every oil change. Ultimately the CV joint failure will make...
You should have a mechanic like one from YourMechanic test the computer and engine mounts for problems that may be causing the running rough? The motor mounts may be broken or you may have a problem with the intake manifold...
You will have to remove the center bolt. Once the bolt is removed, then using a harmonic pulley puller and locking the puller to the three bolt holes and running the center bolt in until the pulley and harmonic pulley...
The noise originates with the engine or the transmission, including the mounts. The suspension, alignment, and chassis are not implicated because you are indicating that the noise occurs when the vehicle is stationary. There are many components, both on and...
If the vehicle is loosing coolant without any external leaks then you may have a blown head gasket. I'd suggest having the system pressure tested to see if an external or internal leak is found or if there is another...
A no start condition on a vehicle can be caused by many things, but with very limited information, it is nearly impossible to know the problem. Potential causes can be an ignition issue, fuel, timing, a computer issue, etc. Because...
