Crank Failure? What was going on at the time the engine quit? QuotePorsche dealer is saying that it is better to replace the engine than try and fix what is guessed at the failure. Since they don't know for sure, might this be a case of the malady that dare not speak its name?by Capt Ron - Main Forum
It was Peugeot, was it not?by Capt Ron - Main Forum
I have this one from Griot's Garage Works well and has been reliable over three years. Bleeds pressure with a partial squeeze of the handle, too. If you're really bored you can confound Griot's customer support by calling and asking if said gauge is accurate when used on tires filled with 100% Nitrogen, as it has a (very) slightly different static density than air.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
They're called "art cars." They're unusual, but not particularly rare in Europe and Japan. I remember a BMW CS-6 decorated by Alexander Caulder that was toured around dealerships here for awhile, and it was just one of a series.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
I live and die by these. My wife trains Border Collies and we've used Kozy-k9 covers in all her cars. The back seat of her 10 year-old MDX still looks new. Installation is a snap, they can be machine washed or just hosed off. Thick enough to prevent even the most neglected nails from poking through.by Capt Ron - Main Forum

If you want esoteric we can start on the value of $400 cables for the run between the phono cartridge and the head amplifier/phono stage.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
It's about 50/50 that they'll call back after they get the old boots off.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
Chris, if the Tip really is a ZF 5HP19, the authorized ZF distributor in your area is Transtar in Norfolk. ZF has a rebuild facility in Vernon Hills, IL and Transtar should be able to advise you about availability and prices for rebuilt unit.by Capt Ron - Main Forum

Buy new ones. The money you save on used wipers is seldom worth it.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
Does this mean they'll start adding rust during the assembly process like they did with the old VW Karmnn Ghia and 411 series?by Capt Ron - Main Forum
Nah, heaven doesn't have any where near as many bugs.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
I run Amsoil 5W-40 in my 2001 MDX. 111,800 miles. About 90% urban cycle so I run a 7,500 mile oil change interval. No smoke and negligible consumption between changes.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
It varies. My first experience with heated seats came in an '83 Saab Turbo. I didn't know it had heated seats and because they came on automatically, there was no switch on the dash or console to indicate they were present. They activated for the first time on a cool morning when I was already late for work. It suddenly felt like I had just wet myself.by Capt Ron - Main Forum
