Back in January I was the beneficiary of a 2010 2.5i limited, now with 155,000 miles on it. The family loves the car and are trying to make sure we get several more years out of it.
I’m fairly handy, not a mechanic. Below are some repairs I’ve done and those that are next on my list or am thinking about.
What would you look at doing next for ensure the life of the car as well as some quality of life improvements? I live in the northeast, if that changes or adds to the suggestions.
Here is what I’ve done so far:

What sensor is this?? on a 1986 325e sedan
I’ve read a lot that the crankshaft position sensor on certain early models have 2 on the bell housing of the tranny. But i was searching for replacement parts and one sensor that popped up looked like this. Any ideas?

2023.06.07 03:09 lickdownchitown P0017 after head gasket replacement

I replaced the head gasket on a 2013 Escape 1.6l with 223k Miles.
After doing so, the problem was fixed but now I have a new one- P0017 “Crankshaft Position Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor B” and a VERY rough idle- like, machine gun idle
Is it likely that I didn’t get the timing put back on right? I followed all the steps and thought I did great but now I’m second guessing myself.
I cleaned up most sensors and replaced all gaskets and o-rings I could get to when doing this hg job.
TIA

2023.06.06 14:30 SimplyS11 Changing Crankshaft Positioning Sensor (2015 Passat TDI Highline 2.0L)

Hello,
I have been working on trying to find ANY information possible on replacing a crankshaft positioning sensor on my 2015 VW Passat Highline TDI 2.0L. I can't find a video or answer or diagram ANYWHERE and it has been extremely annoying and have been wasting a-lot of time.
I have removed the cooling hoses in the front, and the intake now I am at the thermostat housing above the oil canister housing/oil cooler as well, and cannot figure out the connections of the pipes on the thermostat housing. One of them is the spring clip clamp and the the pipe to the housing looks like some sort of twist-lock thing... thats the best way I can describe it.
The part number for the thermo housing is 04L.121.111.

i just changed the downstream O2 sensor on my 2014 hyundai elantra gt a little over two weeks ago. it hasn’t been running tip top since but the check engine light hasn’t come on so i figured it was just death rattles from the upstream sensor and it was about to go out any day. today my check engine light came on but it was in fact not the upstream sensor but instead it indicated a heater control circuit malfunction in the downstream sensor…the one i just spent a couple hundred dollars and a whole evening replacing. any ideas why my new sensor would throw a code like that? tia for any help y’all can provide. bless up 🙏🏻

2023.06.05 22:13 FApedler Seeking Advice: Car Stalls, No Start, Security Light On (Codes P0300 and Anti-Lock System) - Possible ECU Issue? 2007 Infiniti M35

Hello, fellow Redditors! I'm currently facing a frustrating issue with my car and could really use your expertise and guidance. Here are the symptoms and the replacements I've made so far:
Symptoms: - Car stalls and fails to start - Security light illuminates - Error codes: P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire) and Anti-Lock System
Replacements: - New Fuel Pump - New Alternator - New Spark Plugs and Coils - New Crankshaft Sensor - New Catalytic Converter - New Battery
Details: Before my car completely stopped sparking, I had a mechanic replace the alternator while the battery post was still connected, resulting in a spark. Since then, I've been unable to start the car. Interestingly, the dash lights still come on, which suggests that the issue might not be related to the positive terminal. Therefore, I suspect that the ECU (Engine Control Unit) might be at fault.
I've attempted to test the ECU fuse, but I'm not entirely confident in my approach and the results. It appeared to be fine, but there might be other factors I'm overlooking.
Now, I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you can provide to help me troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue. Specifically, I have a few questions:
  1. Could the spark during the alternator replacement have caused damage to the ECU or other components?
  2. Are there any specific steps or techniques to properly test the ECU fuse or diagnose potential ECU issues?
  3. Are there any other components or connections that I should check for damage or malfunction that could cause these symptoms?
While I understand that seeking professional help may ultimately be necessary, I'm hoping to gather some initial insights and possible solutions from the community before taking that step. Your knowledge and experiences would be tremendously helpful in resolving this frustrating situation.
Thank you all in advance for your time and assistance. I'm looking forward to your suggestions and advice!

2015 fiesta ST codes
Got my timing belt done a few weeks back, CEL came on today. Any correlation? Safe to drive until Wednesday when I can bring it to the mechanic? I was messing around with the starter and fuel pump relay a few weeks back (before I got the belt done) so they may be old codes

2023.06.05 10:43 Sgt_Spankmywalrus B5 S4 wont start fix

Couple weeks ago, my 2002 s4 wouldn't start when it was hot. I'd drive it for 20 minutes, park it for 5, come back, and it would crank but never turn over. I'd have to wait another 30 minutes to an hour for it to cool down before it would start and act as normal. This drove me crazy. I couldnt trust the car any more.
I ended up scanning it, and there were no codes. No check light, nothing. I replaced the coil pack, and it did nothing. I replaced the coolant temp sensor, that did nothing. Finally, after searching the audizine forums for about a week, i found a post from someone with the same problem and their issue was that the speed sensor (also called the crankshaft position sensor) was going bad..
This particular sensor may or may not cause the car to throw a CEL if it's failing. Mine didn't. I replaced this sensor, and the problem is gone.
How to: Remove coolant expansion tank. Move it aside.
Remove the 2 5 mil Allen bolts holding you drivers side downpipe heat shield in place.
Disconnect the grey sensor behind the coolant tank up against the firewall.
Get the longest Rachet extension you have (i used a 10 inch, an 8 inch and a 3 inch). Attach a swivel tip to the end, and a 10 mil socket.
Locate the speed sensor on the bell housing, should be underneath 3 metal hoses running above it.
Remove the bolt, it's gonna suck. But it'll come out easy. Use the extension. Do NOT try a wrench from the bottom.
Remove the sensor. Then replace.
Viola! No more intermittent starting issues!
I will link the audizine article with pictures if asked (:

2023.06.05 01:58 not_sza Should I trade-in my car to get lower payments?

Hi I bought my car in 2020 with 72 monthly payment for $281. I thought I could manage it but I was only making $30,000/yr at the time so I’d say it was a huge financial mistake. This was also before I knew of the 15% rule for cars which now says I have a budget of max $534 because my take home income is $3624.
I recently came to realize I spend over $335 a month in phantom costs (gas, insurance, parking). So in total I spend around $616 per month for a car that’s used for commuting around town.
My idea: Trade-in my 2018 Hyundai Elantra for $10,000-13,000. I would get $0-$3000 positive equity towards a new car and go with a cheaper model with 48 month payments of no more than $190. My credit score is 755 so interest won’t be too high.
I’m at $70,000 now so I could afford it if I cut into my savings and spending money but after 3 years of being broke behind this car I’d rather just start over with lower payments for a car that I’ll keep forever (which was my intention with this car initially). I have 3 years of payments left which feels like a lot.
If I sell my car and lower my car payments to $190 a month that would lower my fixed costs every month. They currently take up 70% of my paycheck every month so saving is really hard.
Would this be beneficial for me financially in the long run? Or even in the short term?
I’d rather be able to save more money than continue to pay for this car. I’d be perfectly happy driving something from 2012. I just don’t want to wind up paying more money. I have about $10,000 left on my loan and my car is worth about $13,000. I think I’ve paid around $7,000 for it so far.
I’m looking to get a used Honda Civic or Toyota Camry. I have $2000 for a down payment.
If I keep paying my loan will that result in more positive equity for me? I would ideally make a purchase in October or around Black Friday.
TLDR: spent too much on car payment initially. will it be beneficial to sell my car for a used one to get lower car payments?
I live in Baltimore btw.

2023.06.04 23:30 khoafraelich789 Driven: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Proves Mid-Size Trucks Don’t Have To Suck

Driven: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Proves Mid-Size Trucks Don’t Have To Suck

https://preview.redd.it/nnacw9ecny2b1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=09591c58da67e45c700456841de4978e9c700d84
The redesigned Colorado combines a good ride with a nicer interior as well as an all-new turbo engine

Trucks are as American as apple pie, but most of the attention has been focused on the full-size segment. It’s been that way for decades, but smaller trucks have finally stepped into the spotlight.

The Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz revived the long dormant compact segment, while 2023 is shaping up to be the year of the mid-size truck thanks to new entries from Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, and Toyota. That’s a ton of new blood and we haven’t even mentioned the Jeep Gladiator and Nissan Frontier, which are still relatively fresh.

We’re kicking the year off with the 2023 Chevrolet Colorado, which features a fantastic new design, an upgraded interior, and an all-new turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine. However, the biggest news might be value as the truck starts at $29,200 and you can get one with four-wheel drive, adaptive cruise control, a bed liner, and a ton of safety features for under $37,000.

A Sporty And Stylish Design

While there’s a lot going on, there’s no better place to start than styling because designers knocked it out of the park. The model has “big truck energy” and sports an all-new design that echoes the Silverado. However, this is no scaled down copy as the Colorado has a more youthful and athletic appearance, which combines sharp lines with subtle curves.

The resulting design is great and the Colorado is arguably better looking than its larger counterpart. That’s high praise and each trim has a slightly different aesthetic. The entry-level WT is the most basic of the bunch as it sports black components and 17-inch steel wheels. This look is shared with the all-new Colorado Trail Boss, which builds on the WT but adopts a 2-inch (51 mm) lift, a wider front track, and 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 32-inch all-terrain tires.

The Colorado LT is more traditional as it wears body-color components and 17-inch aluminum wheels, while the Z71 combines creature comforts with moderate amounts of off-road capability.

The news isn’t all good as the Colorado is offered exclusively in a crew cab configuration with a 5’ 2” bed. This is a bit of a disappointment as the outgoing model offered extended and crew cab configurations as well as a larger 6’2” bed.

That being said, the redesigned Colorado has a few tricks up its sleeve and one of the most interesting ideas is a lockable, watertight compartment that is integrated into the tailgate. With the tailgate down, you push two levers aside to gain access to a compartment that measures 45 inches (1,143 mm) wide and 4 inches (102 mm) deep. It can be a bit tricky to open, but there’s a decent amount of space and owners could easily stash tow straps and other off-road equipment there.

While the compartment is a little gimmicky, it’s hard to argue with eight standard tie-downs, integrated motorcycle tire grooves, and an available 110-volt power outlet in the bed. The tailgate can also be positioned midway down to aid in transporting longer items, while a dampened EZ-lift and lower tailgate is also available.

An Interior That Doesn’t Scream Cheap

Mid-size trucks are far more affordable than their larger counterparts and this cut-rate pricing is often reflected in the interior. However, the Colorado bucks this trend as drivers will find a significantly improved cabin with better equipment.

The changes are immediately apparent as driver sit behind a chunky steering wheel and find themselves looking at an all-new 8-inch digital instrument cluster. It comes standard and features an assortment of informative displays including an off-road focused setup, which shows pitch and roll as well as the steering angle and current transfer case setting.

Speaking of screens, there’s an 11.3-inch infotainment system with Google integration as well as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It’s a massive improvement over the old 7- and 8-inch displays, and the system is fast, responsive, and largely intuitive. That being said, we did experience a few hiccups including an instance where music was blasting at startup and the system initially refused to respond to attempts to lower the volume or mute.

Putting the screens aside, the cabin sports a modern design with classy switchgear, gloss black trim, and metallic accents. The amenities vary by trim and things are pretty basic in the WT and Trail Boss. It’s not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but the models eschew a lot of the bright work, padding, and details that make higher-end variants look and feel special. It’s also worth mentioning that, regardless of which trim you get, black plastic is abound and it’s of the hard variety.

Despite being a rough and tumble pickup, the Colorado can dust off its cowboy boots for a night on the town. In particular, the model can be equipped with two-tone heated and ventilated leather front seats as well as a heated steering wheel. While it’s not as fancy as the upcoming GMC Canyon Denali, it’s pretty darn nice for a mid-size truck.

Speaking of the seats, the front chairs are perfectly comfortable and spacious while also offering a good amount of support. Furthermore, the entry-level WT doesn’t cheapen out too much, although a front center console is an optional extra.

The rear seats are less impressive as they’re not terribly spacious. While there’s a good amount of headroom, legroom is limited as occupants will find a mere 34.7 inches (881 mm) of space and that’s 1.1 inches (28 mm) less than last year’s crew cab pickup. The experience reminded me of the compact Maverick and Santa Cruz, which actually have more rear seat legroom on paper. That being said, the seats seem to be competitive for the segment, although not as generous as those found in the Gladiator.

A Turbo Four With V8 Levels Of Torque

The streamlining continues under the hood as the Colorado’s engine lineup shrinks from three to one. As a result, every single model is equipped with a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder.

The engine has been powering the Silverado for years and it’s available in three different outputs. The entry-level variant produces 237 hp (177 kW / 240 PS) and 259 lb-ft (351 Nm) of torque, which is a sizable improvement over the old 2.5-liter four-cylinder that developed 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) and 191 lb-ft (258 Nm).

The entry-level engine comes standard in the WT and LT, and offers respectable performance. There’s plenty of power for cruising around town, although we wished for a little extra oomph when it came to merging onto the highway.

The mid-level engine comes standard in the Trail Boss and Z71, where it produces 310 hp (231 kW / 314 PS) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque. Customers can also opt for a high-output version that develops 310 hp (231 kW / 314 PS) and 430 lb-ft (582 Nm) of torque. The latter figure is insane as the engine has more torque than the 5.0-liter V8 in the Ford F-150. It also bests the Silverado’s 5.3-liter V8 by 47 lb-ft (64 Nm), despite having half the number of cylinders.

The high-output engine comes standard in the range-topping Colorado ZR2, but Trail Boss and Z71 customers can order a high-output calibration for an additional $395. That seems pretty reasonable as it delivers an extra 40 lb-ft (54 Nm) of torque, which will be appreciated if you tow on a regular basis.

While the base engine is fine, the upgraded versions transform the truck from good to great. As you’d expect, responsiveness improves significantly and there’s plenty of power throughout the band. Chevrolet hasn’t released detailed performance specifications, but officials we spoke to said all three versions of the engine enable the truck to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than seven seconds.

Speaking of the engine, it seems relatively refined and engineers told us it was “designed like a diesel.” As a result, it sports a rigid cylinder block casting, a fully forged bottom end, and a stiff crankshaft – among other things. While that’s just scratching the surface, the engine has been subjected to countless torture tests and was designed to withstand years of heavy use.

The engine is connected to a capable eight-speed automatic transmission, which worked well on- and off-road as shifts were perfectly timed and well executed. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on the WT and LT, but the rest of the lineup has four-wheel drive.

EPA ratings haven’t been released, but the Colorado has an engine start/stop system and active fuel management technology. As a result, we can expect the truck to surpass the Silverado’s rating of 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. It’s also worth mentioning that all of the engines run on regular gasoline, even the high-output variant.

A Capable Truck That Doesn’t Ride Rough

One of the most surprising things about the 2023 Colorado is how well it drives. Body-on-frame trucks aren’t typically known for their refinement, but Chevy’s entry exceeded our expectations.

While the ride can get a little bumpy on rough roads, it’s not uncomfortable and can best be described as truck-like. However, those incidents were few and far between as things settle down significantly on smooth roads and the Colorado proved to be a comfortable highway cruiser, despite having a solid rear axle and leaf springs.

The good news doesn’t end there as handling is good for a body-on-frame pickup. Cornering was secure and predictable without any hints of drama until the truck was pushed hard. The experience can also be somewhat entertaining on the right road, although you’ll want to keep your expectations in check.

Given this is a truck, it’s not surprising to learn the steering is a little heavy and slow. We didn’t have any problems with the heft, but we wish the truck offered a sport mode with a more direct response as traversing twisty mountain roads required an almost comical amount of turning.

Speaking of driving modes, the Colorado offers Normal, Tow/Haul, Off-Road, Terrain, and Baja settings. Terrain mode might be the most notable as it was designed for low-speed rock crawling and it enables you to travel at a leisurely pace with subtle throttle responses.

The truck also offers a cool off-road performance display as well as up to 10 different camera views including underneath the truck. Speaking of off-road goodies, the Z71 and Trail Boss come standard with a limited-slip differential and hill descent control. The Trail Boss is also notable for featuring the aforementioned lift and wider stance.

Back on pavement, wind noise can be pronounced at highway speed, but otherwise the truck is fairly quiet. The model also sports an impressive amount of standard safety equipment including Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high-beams.

Customers looking for more safety tech will find an assortment of affordable packages that offer Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, and Rear-Cross Traffic Braking. They’re joined by Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and an HD Surround Vision system.

Colorado owners like to tow and most versions of the truck have a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs (3,493 kg). This bests the Frontier, Ranger, and Tacoma while also matching the mightiest Gladiator.

Sticking with towing, customers can get a package that adds a receiver as well as an automatic locking rear differential, an integrated trailer brake controller, and a trailering app on the infotainment system. We’d also be remiss to mention the truck has a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,684 lbs (764 kg).

Mid-Size No Longer Means Half As Good

Mid-size trucks have often felt like half-hearted efforts, but that’s clearly not the case with the 2023 Chevrolet Colorado. Designers and engineers poured blood, sweat, and tears into the model and the end result is truly impressive as it looks great, drives well, and features an impressive new engine.

On top of that, the Colorado boasts a significantly improved interior, more upscale equipment, and a new Trail Boss trim that should appeal to off-roaders on a budget. Speaking of which, Chevy managed to keep pricing affordable and this means you can get a nice truck for around $42,000.

While there are a few tradeoffs, the Colorado is a solid pickup and the one to beat. Of course, there’s no shortage of challengers on the horizon and we’ll learn more about them in the coming months.

What hose does this connect to
I was about to change the oil to my Hyundai Elantra 2017 when I noticed a leak coming from this hose not sure if it got loose or ripped. Any help would be appreciated

2023.06.04 20:36 HungryKevin Safe to drive with p1391 error on Jeep Cherokee

I have an old Cherokee XJ (2000) that just threw a p1391 error code - intermittent loss of Camshaft or Crankshaft position sensor signal.
I replaced both sensors with NAPA parts. The car runs, idles, and drives with no noticeable issues. I want to take it to a mechanic that I trust by my parents house but scared to drive the hour needed on the highway with the error code.

Where is it? I’ve been working on this for longer than I care to admit and the only thing I can find online is the camshaft sensor.
Edit: finally found it. It’s above the starter and below the oil filter. Had to remove the starter to access it from the bottom side.

2023.06.04 16:05 derangedlunatech 2017 Sonic 1.8, occasional smoke screen

As title says, 2017 Chevy Sonic 1.8L engine. Most of the time it runs fantastic, but sometimes (typically at highway speeds going up hill) it'll start stumbling and blowing a huge smoke screen. Seems to happen more frequently in warmer weather than colder. Pull over let it sit for a few minutes, and it's just fine. Also of note, after a rough episode yesterday I have some oil in the tailpipe.
Most of the time I get no codes. On those occasions when I do get codes, I have seen (no consistency) multiple cylinder misfire, crankshaft position, or P00011.
The inconsistency of this really has me stumped. Sometimes it will go weeks with no problems, then have problems for a few days, then back to weeks of no problems. The randomness makes me think it's not seals or rings. No milky oil. PCV, coil pack, and thermostat all replaced within the last year
Any thoughts?

2023.06.04 14:37 Sufficient_Agency208 ‘99 Chevy Suburban misfire p304/300

I’m having an issue with my 1999 Suburban, 5.7 L motor. The truck was purchased in 2005 with 44,000 miles. The intake manifold gasket was replaced as soon as I got her. I recall a misfire/stumble on medium to hard acceleration on hills, but I never was concerned. She now has 157,000 miles on her. I now would like to find out what the problem is. Over the past year, the trouble code scanned was P304 and P300. Now, it’s only P300. The following have been replaced:
  1. Plugs,cap and rotor
  2. wires
  3. EGR valve
  4. MAF sensor
  5. Both cat converters
  6. camshaft sensor
  7. crankshaft position sensor
  8. New all-metal distributor
  9. coil 10.ignition control module
  10. Fuel pump
  11. New style MPFI system replacing the often problematic spider injectors.
  12. Fuel filter
The truck is STILL stumbling under load on hills under hard acceleration. It runs and idles normally the rest of the time. When the stumbling starts, the check engine light flashes, then stays on for a day or 2 before turning off. The car idles rough for a few minutes before going back to normal.
Can someone shed some light on what this issue could be and how to fix it? The only thing not replaced yet is the throttle position sensor. What I am thinking is it’s a part that was never replaced or something that was and is defective. Thoughts?
Thank you all in advance!!!
