    Accent GDI intake ports and valves at 230k

    Our 2013 juke Turbo GDI never had any cleaning done in 180k miles, burns about 1 quart every 2k miles. Fine with me. I've read induction cleaning on a turbo motor is a risk and I'd rather not break something trying to fix a non existent problem.

    Where To Buy Blinds?

    I used blindsgalore and homedepot(online order)for all of our shutters. Same quality, Blindsgalore did take a lot of work to get 1 set of shutters replaced that didn't fit and I insisted my measurements were spot on. I even sent photos. About 3 months later and numerous phone calls I finally got...

    Unless the car has known issues you are introducing a new potential problem.

    Wife's 2013 Hyundai seized up today 94k miles

    I was saying it wasn't worth fixing because the repairs were more than the cars value. 7 years and 11-12 years is also a big difference.

    Wife's 2013 Hyundai seized up today 94k miles

    Yep no warning at all. He was leaving work and it just died, never to start again. Recently transmission started to slip with around 160k, got rid of it for next to nothing. The used market doesn't seem to have too much confidence in these cars either. Not worth fixing.

    Calif smog test results failed finally passed but don't understand NOX emissions

    IME CA emissions are so strict, if you fail by a small margin a tune up, cleaning TB, injector cleaning is all a waste of time. You need a new CAT. If you fail horribly you may have extremely old spark plugs or a bad MAF or something.

    Running Injector Cleaner ever tank?

    Wow, times have changed. People used to like this stuff. I run it once in a while. My small engines, lawn mower etc. Like it so I toss some in my vehicles as a treat. We don't need a lot of things....

    Just reserved a Rivian R2

    They still are concerned. The pig Ev's are crashing right through highway dividers/barriers. They are looking at having to re-engineer them all for added strength.

    Microgard MGL51372 cut open - 5.4 3v

    Funny I just pulled one of those filters off a 5.4l 2v, little more time/less miles but close. Nice to see cut open. I went back to an fl820s.
