Can yall help pleaes w/ these other 2 suggested parts? Thanks I suggest you go to Pelican Parts to get the correct part numbers for your caby Anker - Main Forum
Even badly worn trailing arms will not rattle no matter how hard you pull, push and bang on the wheels. But when you get on the road they will rattle like crazy on every bump. They won't creak when bouncing the car up and down, but a worn lower control arm bushing will. Sounds like you should either press new bushings into the lower control arm and/or replace the trailing arms.by Anker - Main Forum
If the remote doesn't open any of the doors you could have either an immobilizer problem or a low battery. Check the battery first! :-)by Anker - Main Forum
The one I use is orange, but it sounds like its the same stuff. Works like a charm for me with all my cars. Have never had a problem with it.by Anker - Main Forum
I don't use the stock vibration dampers, they can stick in the caliper pistons. Instead I use vibration damping compound on the back of the pads. They tick to the pistons, which makes them pull away from the disks when you release the brakes. To make it short. Yes, it is your pads touching the disks. Do what I did and the problem will go away.by Anker - Main Forum
Water in the brake fluid!by Anker - Main Forum
Yes, it is very detailed, thorough and well written A nit: It really annoys me that he talks about air bubbles in the brake fluid when you have a fade. It isn't air, it is steam! :-)by Anker - Main Forum
It has a really neat feature which is generating a route from wherever you are located.by Anker - Main Forum
I have it installed and the suggested trips are good. I have explored New England and Northern Europe. A ton of suggested trips in Europe and a smaller number of good ones in New England. Definitely worth installing.by Anker - Main Forum
Great writeup MarcW! I would add to it that you should establish whether the car has been poorly or well maintained. Ask the owner what problems the car has and what maintenance is imminent. If you find problems using Marc's writeup that the owner didn't disclose its an indication that he hasn't kept up or hasn't cared. For example if he didn't mention cleaning radiators and drains, but you fiby Anker - Main Forum

If you get one of the newer suction mounts that are sticky they will stay on.by Anker - Main Forum
He is full of stuff that comes out of cows. A) It was written in 2012 and he says the gas engine also goes to the wheels through the transmission, not correct. He uses lines of code to measure code complexity, a bogus and incorrect measurement. C) He thinks an inverter is complex, not true I could go on,by Anker - Main Forum
It's either cat or the O2 sensors.by Anker - Main Forum
You are 100% wrong. We have a 2015 Volt and it is mechanically much simpler than a regular car. There is no gear box, the engine is only connected to an electric motor/generator and has its revs controlled by a computer, not a throttle. The gas engine only turns on when you are out of electric range or if you manually decide to hold the battery charge. Braking is mainly regenerative, so very littby Anker - Main Forum
I have one from a 2004 if that helps.by Anker - Parts for Sale
Not yet, but we are taking the 2002 to Kentucky from and back from our home in Mass at the end of October.by Anker - Main Forum
Its the two front radiator fans you can hear. They run at full tilt when the AC is on.by Anker - Main Forum
My wife has a Volt. Amazing car. Regular maintenance consists of rotating tires and resetting TPMS. Brakes last forever because of regenerative braking, and oil changes depend on number of hours the engine has run. Because it doesn't drive the wheels it lives and easy life. This car will last forever and cost nothing to maintain.by Anker - Main Forum
That's exactly why I do my own work on items that any careful person can perform! Dealer service departments work from estimated time to perform charts (that always are extremely conservative) and the fact that doing one item makes another item easier doesn't count.

I typically use about 1.5L, I feel it is better to be thorough than to be tight.by Anker - Main Forum
And get the proper tool for removing the O2 sensors. A spanner will just round the O2 sensor housing and you will smash you knuckles into something hard..by Anker - Main Forum
So maybe I should also bring the other one I have sitting in my parts box for the 2004 S?by Anker - Parts for Sale
Joe, I'll take it. Will be at the BRBS.by Anker - Parts for Sale
I never lock my Boxster in the garage and have only seen a problem with battery discharge when my ignition switch started failing,by Anker - Main Forum
Interesting how the throttle either surged up and down or the driver was constantly and quickly adjusting throttle when getting on it coming out of a corner. You can both hear it and see it on the throttle indicator,by Anker - Main Forum
