My username seems to be automatically generated. Can I know the steps to change it?


Can mods help me start a thread? I have a question in mind.

 

I went to a dealer and was interested in the car. I requested to send the car for inspection before signing the dotted line, but the dealer said they have to get the bank's loan approval before we can proceed with inspection etc. If I were to agree to getting the bank's approval first, does it mean I am already committed to the loan or I can walk away anytime if I am unhappy with the inspection results?

 

Thanks for the advice. :)

Hello,

 

I have a question, I have an e46 316i 2004 (1.8L 115hp). The manual advises to use 5W30 LL04 oil. The previous owner did the maintenance 4000km ago and he used 10W-40 which is not meant for this engine because it's half-synthetic and not bmw approved. My brother says that once a thicker oil has been used I can't go back to thinner oil, is this true ? Can I change my filter, drain the old oil and put 5W-30 back in or not ? An alternative is 5W-40 which is full synthetic and has BMW Longlife01 spec.

hi guys. New here, but I have the feeling you can help me with my issue :)

 

I got a strange one. Whenever I push the gas quickly I hear a hissing sound and it looks like the air intake fills with too much with air (don't think that's normal). It's really hard to describe in words but a video tells the whole story:




The car is European (Seat Toledo - 2002) but the engine is the same one as you have on the VW Golf 2.3 V5 170 bhp

 

Any idea why this happens?

Hey, I'm new here. I need an ECU pinout for a JDM 2005 Honda Stream 1.7, but I can't find one since I am in America. Thanks!

Edit- since I am unsure of how exactly this forum works since I am new here, when you make me a new topic on this, please post a link to it so I can find it, or at least tell me where it is. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'd like to make a new thread as follows:

 

Most value for money used car with the following requirements 

 

- Off-peak use

- Prefer the comfort of Toyota Camry (suspension, stability and low noise in cabin) 

- Don't need powerful engine/performance

- Low maintenance ( what is the usual mileage for a camry/altis before it completely dies?) 

- Don't mind old car (9years old for example)

- 5 seater

- hybrid a plus but not compulsory

- under $7k depre

 

Saw some old cars (e.g. Camry @ 180k KM, $52k with 10years new COE) , wonder whether they can really tahan another 10 years?

 

Also saw some other old cars (10 year Mark X @ 52K KM mileage) - can the odometer be tampered with? If so, is there any SUREFIRE way to confirm REAL mileage? 

 

Lastly, which are the most trusted garages I can go to for a 100% comprehensive check to uncover any potential problems? 

How much will it cost for such an inspection?

Who usually pays? Prospective buyer or seller? IF unsatisfactory, will seller pay?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Red light don't need to bother to appeal. Almost certainly rejected 99.9% of the time.

 

It should be within 2-3 weeks at most.

 

Prepare for the 12 points.
