There is nothing speedster or high performance about an FX35... A same-year Camry or Accord v6 will smoke it anytime any day, while providing better fuel economy .... The FX35 has a nice exhaust note and aggressive stance yeah, but that's about it.. But performance no be by muscular build or baritone exhaust sound.

Its elder brothers the FX45 and FX50 with v8 engines are another kettle of fish tho...

My 2008 RX 350 has been having transmission issues since April . It doesn't select properly and acceleration is always difficult. At times it jerk forward before picking up then it will slow down.

Two mechanics have tried to fix the problem but the issue still persist. I got a guy that later assisted to run scan on the vehicle and one of the error codes is P0746 Pressure control solenoid A performance or stuck off.

The guy said the error code has to do with the " "valve body " in the gear.

Has anyone experienced similar issue and what was done to fix it.

Hello Bosses

I need your help on

1) Understanding what the issue is

2) The right solution and best way to go about it.

The car is ML350 4matic. From my knowledge through research, here is how I can describe it.

Serpentine Belt sucked inside the engine. the belt was shredded to the extent some tangled around the roller holding one of the pullies and force open the engine as a result a chain got dislodged from its sprocket and the engine refuse to start.

What should I be expecting to fix ?
How much should I budget for this fix ?
Is this a serious that can lead to other complication or reoccurring issues after fix or a straight forward fix ?

The belt is something I mean if it means changing it every 4 months I'm okay. I just want to understand the issue and fix/manage it. as that belt is the one and only issue I faced.

Please I need your advise.

Good evening everyone. I'm facing this challenge with my Honda Civic 2006. If I put it on reverse then it delay and the speedometer will be going up and down and once the speedometer finally stop then it will enter and when it eventually enter then it jerk and if I put it on drive then it also jerk except I turn the car off and on again before it will work normal but if I put it on drive straight without engaging on reverse it works smoothly. But at times if the car gets hot it seems to work normal. I went to scan the car and result showed that the (pressure control solenoids stuck off). Please advice me on what to do thanks

The car was making knock sound before if throttle and I change the gear box

Hi all,

I have an update, I have changed my gear completely.

However, I have a different experience now.

When I accelerate quickly and then come to a stop due to traffic or cars ahead slowing down, I experience difficult accelerate back until I change my gear to Reverse (it then jerks) and then change back to Drive (it jerks again). Does anyone have any understanding of what I am experiencing.

It is barely two weeks that I changed the gear completely and the mechanic said I should give it like two weeks.

Hello bossos

I'm about to buy a car. Noticed a few things.

1. The steering isnt smooth enough. Has a stiff turn. I won't enjoy driving it this way atall. I'm used to light steering and easy turning of the wheel.

2. The AC really pulls at the engine especially when moving from a stop.

This is a Honda Accord 2009.

I understand I'm buying a Nigerian used car and it won't be nearly 100% perfect. But are this things fixable and not cause regret if I proceed further to purchase the car

Also noticed the vehicle paper has expired way back in 2016 (same time the custom duty was done). According to the dealer, the person has been using the car in the core north (where all this uniform people don't trouble them) so didn't see need to renew the vehicle papers. What do you think ?

Appreciate your thought on this too

My 2008 honda accord (v4) jacks violently when my car changes gears. It does this also when about driving after few hours of parking.

I have changed engine seats, fuel pump and it's still the same. Though, the car moves well after the jack.

Help. I did not charge my oil since August.noticed it was shorting oil,so I topped with 5w30,5w40,20w50.then I finally serviced the engine with new oil yesterday. Used engine flush and drained the old oil which was charcoal black. Poured the new oil and new filter 5w40. Now it smokes gradually at idle. All spark plugs are good and not wet. What's the solution. Engine compression still strong.should I add resurrs additive

Angrigowt:
No but rpm on idle is 1200,with ac 1000rpm. When the top cylinder was removed,i could see like sandlike sludge by the sides but top cylinder is goldish colour..could it be from bad oil. The useless engine flush didnot dislodge anything. I felt like using pressure hose to force out all the slidges by rhe edges ofthe cylinder wall.
