Bought these in 245 70r16 two weeks ago, 1000 km on them at the moment. Tried them in the mud, rocks ( in dry weather) and tarmac. Performed beyond my expectation. They do move a bit during fast road cornering compared to the previous set of Bridgestone Dueler At 694, but that is to be expected...

I've purchased my first set ever of Chinese tyres. I'm certainly not dissapointed. At 57€ a piece, mounting included, for a 225/50/17 98W( expensive size in Europe) it's a bargain. Anything else is at least 50% more, with premium EU manufacturers being double in price. Yes double. Grip in...

I have problem keep coming with thermostat ( cartridge type) on this engine. Truck is relatively recent buy (3 months ago) and I went through 3 thermostats by now. After 1k they all stuck closed, there's no deposits or mechanical damage whatsoever. After buying I've changed the visco/pump...

Just bought this Walter Werkzeuge generator in Hofer. It's Austrian branded, probably Chinese built unit. Original recommendation is SAE 15w30. Can I use 5w40 A3/B4, LL01, 229.5 oil I have on hand or it's better I find 15w30?

I'm planning on buying cheap fun car/project in a form of E30 or E36. Budget is rather tight, but good, rust free examples can be found under 2K Euro. I would like to keep everything under 3K for now so here is my question. Difference between e30/e36/e36 compact? It would be only play car so are...

Since last winter my turbo is noisy when engine is cold. When it warms up it is still noticeable, but rather normal. It's a variable geometry, integral to the manifold type. So my questions are: Are those Chinese Garrett's a knock off or they are genuine parts? How safe is to drive like this...

I've just made a OC in my Vectra with DPF. Choose to use E6 oil (5w30) I have in stock. With Ash weight under 1.0% this oil sits right between C3 and A3/B4. I have done similar in past with my,DPF Renault, and it seems everything was fine. I wonder if I missed something? Any suggestions are...

Just lost all gears on my FIAT Stilo diesel. Car have 180k, first owner, lot of city driving last few years. Just lost gears out of the sudden, no noise from pressure plate or bearing. Master and slave cylinders look dry. I suspect pressure plate. DMF sounds fine, still expect 600€ bill, over 1k...

Well today I had an accident; four axle dumper MB steered into driver door of my light van. Left front wing, door and shuttered mirror. Covered in glass. I had a paranoia I've inhaled some, but luckily didn't find any in my nose. Oh yeah, I took my first Chrysler for a drive - Sebring Cabrio V6...

Quick search tells me I need VW 504 00/507 00. There are hundreds of oils that meet those requirements. There is one thing I don't understand about OCI, some are longlife, others are normal on those. Car is in northern Germany so winters can be harsh, and car will be used mostly on short trips...

Our neighbours three years old boy have some mental disorder. It's quite sad really. I bring this up because poor kid is screaming all day, sometimes very hysterically, and their (neighbours) front yard is facing mine back yard, my front yard is always in sun. This is going on for two years now...

I thought I could ask here. Just did same yearly maintenance on my heating system. System is older with steel pipes and aluminium radiators. I always pressure it to 1.5 bar, but can go to 1.9 bar when hot. Temp range is between 75c to about 90c. So question is what would really be optimal temp...

Just did ultrasound and liquid cleaning in my friends garage with proper injector cleaning tool. Before cleaning we test them and one was off by 10%. After cleaning we manage to get him to 5 % less than one that puts out most fuel. Others were in range of 1-2% . Should I be worried with this?
