XGhost: Yes we can solve them but I can't give you a remote estimate because just because a code is triggered doesn't mean the part is bad. Still need to run tests. |

With the increase in ordering used cars overseas, someone might find this information useful https://news.yahoo.com/cars-most-likely-engine-rebuild-100013746.html The common concern with cars as they age is dependability—not only that they may not get you to work one day but also that a catastrophic failure could cost thousands of dollars. Major problems are rare in general, but they do happen. To understand how often such problems occurred, we analyzed data on older models from our Annual Autos Surveys to see which have the highest problem rates for major systems that often require expensive repairs. Three problems areas stood out: engine, head gasket, and transmission. With some models, these problems occur with surprising frequency at a certain age and mileage. Engine problems are among the greatest mechanical nightmares for their inconvenience, expense, and time to repair. We found that there are more than a dozen older models with problems serious enough to require engine rebuilds. “Engine failure can be caused by many things,” says John Ibbotson, Consumer Reports’ chief mechanic. “Some engine rebuilds are needed due to low compression from worn piston rings, resulting in lack of power, misfiring, or excessive oil consumption, while others suffer from crankshaft or connecting rod bearing failure, signaled by a knocking sound.” Due to the difficulty and time required to rebuild an engine, often shops will replace the original engine with one that has been remanufactured. An Audi A4 owner reported, “We have put over $12,000 into this car. Something breaks, we fix it. Something else breaks, we have to fix it. We are retirement age and cannot buy a new car.” It can be a challenge finding the right shop to take on a major repair, which requires talent, time, and parts. A Mini Cooper owner wrote, “Cylinder number three failed while on the highway, at cruising speed. Not only is a replacement motor very expensive, but no local shop wants to do the job, because of the complexity.” To help warn both current owners and used-car shoppers, we compiled a list of 10 models that stood out as having the most severe problems, as determined by frequency and cost. They are presented below in rank order, starting with the one with the highest problem rate. We include the model year with the greatest problems (and when applicable, a range of years affected by this problem), the typical mileage range when the problem occurs, and where possible, we recommend similar alternative vehicles without this concern. If no alternatives are presented, that means similar cars had the same issue or another significant problem. The journey to 200,000 miles can be a bumpy one, but it doesn't have to be if you start with a good, reliable car and properly maintain it, per the directions in the owner’s manual. Consumer Reports always recommends shoppers consult the reliability ratings, based on our large-scale member surveys, to predict the models that have better odds of being trouble-free. This detailed data can be found on our car model pages. 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Model years affected: 2009-2010 Typical mileage: 107,000-153,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus ES, 2008-2010 Infiniti G, 2009-2010 Acura TL 2008 Ford F-350 6.4L diesel Typical mileage: 65,000-119,000 Alternatives: None 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Typical mileage: 102,500-133,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2004 Toyota Matrix 2008 Mini Cooper/Clubman Model years affected: 2008-2009 Typical mileage: 122,000-129,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008 Mazda3 2010 Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain Typical mileage: 84,500-108,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Honda CR-V, 2008-2010 Toyota RAV4 2006 Jeep Wrangler 2.4L Typical mileage: Approximately 150,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2004-2008 Toyota 4Runner 2010 Cadillac SRX Typical mileage: Approximately 130,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus RX, 2010 Acura MDX 2003 Acura MDX Typical mileage: Approximately 190,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2005 Lexus RX 2006 Buick Lucerne Typical mileage: 116,000-143,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2006 Lexus GS, 2004-2008 Toyota Avalon 2010 GMC Acadia Typical mileage: 106,000-129,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Toyota Highlander 2 Likes |

NEW STOCK Been getting a lot of questions about fuel treatments and octane boosters lately. We have MANY in stock. This is some of the lastest addition of fluid treatments, boosters and sealants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Pr9Hs4GoA Last pictures, I thought you might like to see inside the Florida distribution center. Each Carquest/Advance distribution center carries $20-40 MILLION in parts at any given time. Yes, that is the famous Glen with the dreadlocks.

New shipment of drive belts just arrived. When serpentine belts break they can also flap around and cause A LOT of damage to the engine. Stop buying poor quality belts when good ones with warranties are available for N5,000 up.

radautoworks: When people were fighting for their lives... protesting against SARS... You kept mute. When youths were being massacred at the Lekki toll plaza...next door to your shop... You kept mute. Now you are advertising for the remnants. We will buy the poor quality belts from patriotic citizens who have a stake in Nigeria...sweated and bled for Nigeria. EndRadautoworks!!! |

Congratulations to the first winner of our diagnostic scanner christmas giveaway. With one of these he knows what is wrong BEFORE he takes it to a mechanic. That's an important step in knowing how much a repair should cost. Especially if you don't tell the mechanic you already scanned the car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w6XXJAXt9E 1 Like 1 Share |
