I would recommend you ask for help from a diesel mechanic with a diagnostic scanner. He will be able to see what fault codes are in the computer and that will give him starting point for diagnostics. This will help...
To some extent, it's good because you can drive different ways on them, but that's only around 50 miles or something. But, if you consider the cost, if you have to get the flat fixed when they go bad, they...
It sounds like you may have a faulty temperature gauge or a faulty temperature sensor. As you may know, there is a sensor that measures the temperature of the coolant that relays this information to the computer which then sends...
Hello. There are several things that could cause the Check Engine Light to come on after getting the spark plugs replaced by the dealership. If the Check Engine Light never turned off after the original repair was completed,...
If wheel bearings are installed without using a calibrated torque wrench to apply the hub axle nut to the exact required torque specification, the bearings are more or less instantly destroyed once you start driving on them. This, indeed, is...
This may be a sign of a dirty or failing mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor is a unit in the intake system that monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected...
Hello Diana. If you still have the service documents from the dealership a technician will be able to tell you if the leaks are new or a recurring issue. Mini Coopers will usually have a leak around the oil pan...
I believe you may have a problem with your master cylinder. I would suggest first having the brake fluid flushed if it is dark. If that doesn't fix it then most likely the master cylinder is bad. I would have...
In some rare instances your check engine light may disappear by unhooking the battery, however this is not recommended since doing this may be avoiding a potentially more serious problem temporarily by clearing the code this way. If there is...
Hi there. There are multiple seals and gaskets inside an automatic transmission and along the inner case where the torque converter is installed that can leak into the bell housing if they are damaged. Small cracks or misalignment of the...
I would need a little bit more information to answer this question fully. When you say the car bolts, I'm assuming that means that the car accelerates without input from you. If this is occurring, it sounds like there...
What you are describing sounds like a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor. This sensor relays vital information...
You will need to take out one spark plug wire off a spark plug and put it near a ground with a screw driver or spark tester installed and crank engine to see if there is spark. If no spark...

An unbalanced driveshaft is a possibility as is a faulty torque converter. Tires cannot be eliminated without much further testing including testing on a road force variation balancer. Even perfectly balanced tires can create terrible vibration due to the construction...
You could try cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve. If the engine has a vacuum leak, then fix the leak. An idle of around 900 RPMs is about normal for most manual transmission vehicles and you may have...
The heater not working in some cases may be related to the overheating problem you are also having. This may be due to a faulty heater blower motor or potentially a bad heater core. As you may know, the heater...
Hi there. In general, engine performance and the traction control issues you have described are not related. The crankshaft position sensor would cause misfiring or an inability to start; but in general, typically does not cause bogging or acceleration problems....
You need to check the oil level to see how low you are on oil. You may not have added enough oil. If you are not sure then go to a full service station or have a technician, like one...
