Separate names with a comma.
That's interesting. What engine oil are you using, at what oil change intervals?
Meaning, I think, the theoretical exit velocity of the propellant would have to be 3 to 4.5 times as high (so its kinetic energy would be 3² to...
I bought replacements through Amazon. They're not identical to the originals, and not particularly better, but not worse, and much less...
No, but the computer may need a trip or two to readjust to the reduced restriction. Is your mechanic cleaning the intake manifold EGR passages,...
Is that workaround guaranteed to work? Now we have to drive gently, as if the inverter, brake actuator, and head gasket were all fragile---which...
Leaving any door, including the hatch, less than fully latched will have substantially the same effect, even if all switchable lights are off.
Further evidence that, contrary to popular folklore, these cars don't all become oil burners and clog the EGR cooler as soon as they pass 100k...
I. Z. is correct that the increase in fuel consumption caused by cargo on the roof will be highly speed-dependent.
Yes, indeed! I could easily review and adjust HVAC settings on all my previous cars without looking, because each control had its own distinct...
?? Not really. Unless there's cargo in the way, that part's a 30-second chore, and I'm slow.
Only in the latter case.
People might give you numbers, but that really depends heavily on conditions (like maintenance practices, driving habits, environment, trip...
That's all true, but I already suggested back in post #5 that he clean those out first. That's a lot easier than cleaning the cooler---but not as...
Prove it!
Yes, that's right. That value means you have significant clogging, but not nearly to the degree that would trigger an official "Fail," according...
Using a thinner, more flexible wire, I got it through every passage, even the corners. I didn't think something as thick as a bicycle spoke...
I found my bare hand worked ok as convenient stopper with Oxiclean and warm water. Doing that with oven cleaner or drain cleaner would be a very...
Thanks for the comments. Considering my somewhat similar experience, it's possible the photos they showed you are fakes, not even of your car.
Very likely. In moderation, additional throttling might be a good thing.
Why be a slob?
