    Oil pressure low

    What exactly do you want to check? If the oil pressure sensor reports that the oil pressure is too low, then you will also have too low oil pressure in the scanner. The only thing you could check with this would be whether the gauge shows the correct value, but I think that is the rarest...

    Exhaust fumes and sound coming from intake

    But the engine starts and runs, but not long, might be that the tune is not correct, even if he wrote on the first page, that he made the tune for the vvt engine. By the way, what is a vvt engine? And the fact that white steam comes out of the intakes make me think, that there is something...

    Exhaust fumes and sound coming from intake

    Why was the engine replaced? Did the old engine die? Did the old engine perhaps clog the catalytic converters when it died? Now the new engine can't get rid of the exhaust gas. That would explain why there is smoke from the intake area and why it stops running. Because if it doesn't get...

    Oil Consumption

    So I've thought the whole thing through and think that my poor compression on one cylinder may be due to carbon on the piston rings, especially since the bottom of the piston ring has a relatively large amount of carbon, which in my opinion comes from the leaky valve stem seals. So I'll...

    Oil Consumption

    So now I'm completely confused. I did a compression test again on cylinder 5. Result: 12 bar, which is about 174 psi, then a wet compression test, which was 13.5 bar, so about 195 psi, which would indicate the piston rings. Then I did a pressure drop test which was under 5% which is...

    Amp gauge

    Are you sure? Normalwise the charge controller delivers the voltage/ampere which is needed to charge, apprx. 14,8 Volt, but never more than 16V. The ampere goes up when the battery is low, but the Voltage remains stable, as far as there are enough revolutions for the generator.

    Amp gauge

    Its not an amp gauge its a volt gauge. If you gauge shows more that 14-15V you have a defective gauge, what is not very likely, because a defectice gauge would rather show to less V than to much. More likely is you alternator's charge controller is probably defective. This is usually...

    Bad trans or transfer case?

    Do you still have propulsion when you switch to D? Pobably not, otherwise your wife wouldn't have the need to be towed. Foe me it sounds like the clutch pack for the reverse gear has broken down and caused damage to the transmission. But of course it can't be ruled out that something has...

    Oil Consumption

    That what make me concerned is that i have a loose of compression in this cylinder. I checked the car for leaks, but i have no spots on the ground and i have no stains which a typical for coolant leaks. But i can fill 2 Liter water in 250 miles. But as well i dont see really white steam in the...

    Oil Consumption

    Yes properly I have a head gasket problem because there is also a consumption of cooling liquid. What leakdown procedure do you mean?

    Oil Consumption

    Here you can see the place I'm talking about. The dark spot right on the valve seat and the dark groove above the dark spot, where it looks like the valve seat is loose somehow. I'm wondering if the reduced compression could also be a head gasket issue. But as far as I know. If the head gasket...

    Oil Consumption

    I now found the time to care for my car and i guess my engine ist finished and need an overhaul. :oops: The engine runs good, makes no noise, but have oil consumption and coolant water is disappearing in some way. Today i use an endoscope and made a pressure test. I have on cylinder...

    Brake pedal chirp

    As far as the chirping noise is concerned, I would actually guess it's the V-belt or some bearing that's chirping. The fact that this increases when the brakes are applied, has to do with the fact, that the servo pump then has to generate more pressure for the hydro boost. So I would first...

    5.3 slap. Treat it or leave it?

    I had a louder clicking noise in the hydraulic lifters on mine and I got into the habit of adding 1 liter of diesel to the engine oil before changing the oil, driving the car for 10 miles and then changing the oil. Diesel dissolves all the oil carbon. When I check my oil before the treatment it...

    Late Game Transmission Fluid Change Rumors or Fact?

    You are right, additional i would say: If you take 100 similar transmissions. 50 never make an oilchange and 50 make regulary all 35.000 Miles an Oil change. Then i guess 5 of the 50 without oilchange will survive 250.000 Miles. And propably 25 or more of the 50 with oilchange will reach the...

    How do I fix this?!

    Well that is no magic. If you have a radio, an amplifier and speakers. You need a wiring plan and than you must identify the relating wires, like permanet plus, ingnition plus, interior light, antenna, plus to switch on amplifier and so on. If you have no idea, about car audio, electric and...

    Late Game Transmission Fluid Change Rumors or Fact?

    Two forms of deposits can form in a transmission. The first is abrasion of the pressure plates, which are made of steel. This is very fine metallic abrasion that normally collects on the magnet in the pan. The second is the friction lining of the friction disks. They have a similar structure...

    Why is it so impossible to get a gas tank

    If your tank cannot be filled past halfway, it is very likely that your evap system is the problem. Since the 90s, every car has had systems designed to prevent fuel gases from entering the environment. They have an activated carbon canister and a vent valve that is open when the car is...

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    I think it probably depends on how many miles your truck has on it, the rear wheel bearings are actually from my view, no problem, what tends to fail are the front ones. The differential isn't a problem as long as it's in oil. You should change the oil regularly anyway, because oil in...

    I separated from my wife today, which means: My truck will no longer be scratched with diamond rings that I also purchased. No one will put parking dents in my truck anymore and say it wasn't her. No one will carelessly throw their zippered purse into my car and scratch the dashboard anymore...
