There is a technical bulletin to increase the belt tension from to 800nm for a new belt and 400nm for a used belt. All belts will stretch when first put on and run a couple months. This is why a...
The reduced power light is on for either the catalytic converter is overheating or the transmission is malfunctioning. If the vehicle is able to shift through all of the gears, then check the engine to see if there is a...
This is a common problem that can be caused by a clogged catalytic converter. If the converter is clogged or partially clogged, the exhaust gasses cannot escape the engine as fast as they should and this chokes the engine. Typically,...
Hello. It sounds like you may have some contamination in the brake fluid or a brake master cylinder that is not releasing properly. I usually check the fluid first. I do a few tests on the fluid to see if...
Hello. It is possible that your passing maneuver fooled the Traction Control system enough to de-rate the turbocharger until you restarted the engine. Try turning the traction control off - it will severely limit power if triggered. Later model Sprinters...
Aleissa. Thanks for contacting us today. When a new battery goes dead after replacement, it's typically due to the alternator being damaged or one of the charging cables not working correctly. In regards to the security alarm, this might be...
It sounds like your kids may have broke the ignition lock assembly in the steering column. There are a few different column components that may have been broken. The parts are made out of pretty soft metal by the manufacturer...

Hi there. It hard to determine, whether the misfire codes and poorly running are related to the work that has been done. The question would be, whether you trust the repair facility enough to take your vehicle back? If the...
Your display screen can easily become dirty or greasy, since it is a touch screen. To clean the display, simply rub a dry, very soft cloth over it. If that does not do the trick, dampen the cloth slightly and...

Hi there: It really depends on the type of jerking that's occurring with your Chevrolet. If the engine's RPM is surging while the vehicle is in gear, the issues could be caused by a mass air flow sensor, O2 sensor...
External coolers plumbed to the radiator were used in the 1999 TL model but not in later models. Consequently, there is no external cooler to tap into. Draining the transmission fluid and changing the filter is more than adequate. It...
You would need to have it programmed to your VIN. Have the computer scanned to see if you have a good crank shaft signal first, before replacing the ECM. You may not need the ECM replaced; you may have a...
While you can easily see the fuel gauge in your car, Ford built in a couple of additional safeguards to help protect you from running out of gas on the road. It’s all too easy to overestimate how much gas...
You are most likely not having an issue with the alarm. The system is designed to not arm itself until a certain amount of time after you lock all doors. The system will disable the ignition and activate after about...
This issue seems to me like it would be caused by the brake switch. When the brake switch is engaged, the brake lights come on. There is also a shift interlock solenoid in most vehicles that is not acted...
Change the differential oil every 60,000 miles or so. It's not something to worry about but I'd do it around that mileage just to make sure you aren't getting any extra wear. If the oil gets dirty enough, corrosion can...
I'm not a fan of them. My neighbor has one and to me that thing is so cheaply made. The wiring is so thin. Hers is eight years old and everything is shorting out. The thin little wires that they...
