Car Talk / How To Detect Engine Vacuum Leak by nyaknoj1: 10:37am On Aug 22, 2016
Now that you have known what vacuum leak is and what it does to your engine, how can u detect a leak?http://www.automobileglobe.com/what-is-an-intake-vacuum/ One way is to visually check all the vacuum hoses and piping. Look for disconnected, loose or cracked hoses, broken fittings. Vacuum leaks are most times the elusive needle in a haystack. And if it is not a hose leaking vacuum but something else such as a gasket, worn throttle shaft, injector O-rings, etc., you may never discover it with this technique.
A faster method for finding intake manifold vacuum leaks is to get a bottle of propane and attach a length of rubber hose to the gas valve. Open the valve so you have a steady flow of gas. Then hold the hose near suspected leak points while the engine is in idle. If there is a leak, propane will be drawn in through the leak. The resulting discovery and solution in the engine’s air/fuel ratio should cause a noticeable change in idle speed and/or smoothness (N/b: on engines with computerized idle speed control, first disconnect the idle speed control motor first).

Autos / Highlights Of The 2016 Kia Sedona Lx Minivan by nyaknoj1: 10:48pm On Aug 14, 2016
The 2016 Kia Sedona minivan comes with plenty of upscale style and features while keeping the Kia’s traditional value and pricing. Thus it should be on any minivan shopper’s top list. Distinctive, un-minivan-like dashboard and cockpit. plenty of value for the money; versatile second-row seat designs, quiet cabin. Subpar fuel economy ratings in the top trim option, however slightly less cargo space than primary mates. For the 2016 Sedona, all models has a standard rearview camera. The Sedona EX now has heated front seats, and SX and SXL trims get seating for eight with the optional Technology package.http://www.automobileglobe.com/highlights-of-the-2016-kia-sedona-lx-minivan/
Autos / How The Hydraulic System Functions by nyaknoj1: 10:29pm On Apr 28, 2016
The Hydraulic system is actually a complex maze of passages and tubes that transfer transmission fluid under high pressure to all other parts of the transmission and torque converter. The diagram here is a simple one culled from a 3-speed automatic from the ’60s. The newer systems are however much more complex and are combined with computerized electrical units and components. Transmission fluid serves a number of purposes including: gear shift control, general lubrication and transmission cooling. quite Unlike the engine, which uses oil predominantly for lubrication, every aspect of a transmission’s functions are dependent on a constant supply of fluid under pressure. This is not far from the human circulatory system (the fluid is even red) where even a few minutes of operation when there is a lack of pressure can be harmful or even fatal to the life of the transmission.

Car Talk / How The Head Gaskets And Intake Manifold Gaskets Work by nyaknoj1: 11:17am On Apr 26, 2016
All internal combustion engines have an engine block and one or more cylinder heads. The mating surfaces where the block and head meet are filed flat for a close, precision fit, but no amount of careful machining can make them completely water tight or be able to hold back combustion gases from escaping through the mating surfaces.
To seal the block to the heads, a head gasket is used. The head gasket has many things it is sealing against. First is the combustion pressure on each cylinder. Oil and coolant must be made to easily flow between block and head and it is the duty of the head gasket to keep these fluids from leaking out or into the combustion chamber, or each other as the case may be.

Autos / How To Check Your Gearbox Oil by nyaknoj1: 11:04pm On Apr 20, 2016
On the off chance that your vehicle dithers when your programmed transmission changes gears, check the transmission liquid level before you let any technician begin looking at overhauling or altering your transmission or offering you another one. To check your programmed transmission liquid, search for a dipstick handle standing out of your transmission. This is situated toward the back of an in-line motor on vehicles with back wheel drive.
The liquid level in a manual transmission must be checked with the vehicle on a lift to empower the professional to ach

Car Talk / The 2016 Volvo XC60 Review by nyaknoj1: 12:03pm On Apr 13, 2016
The 2016 XC60 picks up over from last year with minimal changes. However, the fold down front passenger seat feature has been left out.
Introduction
Over time, it’s been difficult for family cars to avoid a bad reputation of being boring; however Volvo is doing a great good job of giving her customers a fine alternative with its 2016 XC60. We’ve appreciated the XC60’s sleek good looks and stylish cabin since the model first appearance in 2010. The XC60 is still very much a Volvo at its core, though, and these attributes simply add pep to what is still a very sensible luxury crossover SUV.

Car Talk / How To Know Your Steering Faults by nyaknoj1: 9:36pm On Apr 05, 2016
Modern cars are designed to give comfort and pleasure to the driver. The power steering feature of the modern cars was meant to add to this. The pinion shaft and steering rack are the most sophisticated and widely used, it interprets turning of the steering wheels into a directional shift of the car tire using the pinion shaft and the steering rack. The rack and pinion shafts are designed in a metal case that is surrounded by seals and when the seals are worn out, the steering fluids leaks. Causes of leakage too include contaminated steering fluid.
It is recommended that a periodic check and change of the power steering fluid should be conducted.
Signs of bad or worn rack and pinion include

Car Talk / 2016 Mercedes-amg GLC 43 4MATIC REVIEW by nyaknoj1: 2:56pm On Apr 03, 2016
PREAMBLE
The mid-size SUV model series adds a particularly dynamic option in the direction of the new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC, which celebrates its world premiere at the 2016 New York International Autos Show in New York.
Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC
SHORT SPECIFICATION
Fuel consumption combined: 8.7-8.3 l/100 km;
Combined CO₂ emissions: 199-189 g/km.*
The new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC.

PERFOMANCE
Sprints zero to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds
The 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine of the GLC 43 4MATIC is used in many AMG Performance brands and is the only six-cylinder variant available in the GLC series. It gives a maximum output of 270 kW (367 hp) plus maximum torque of 520 Newton metres. The GLC 43 4MATIC dashes from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and its speed is electronically operated at 250 km/h. The newly developed front axle, the taut elastokinematics and the highly precise AMG speed-sensitive sports steering makes a substantial contribution to the very agile driving experience.
SUPER DYNAMISM AND RESPONSIVENESS
Also , the AMG 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine has a powerful output together with low consumption and emissions. The high power output of 270 kW (367 hp) is attributable, among other things, to the higher 1.1 bar charge-air pressure. Together with the 520 Newton metres of torque

Autos / Common Car Problems That Should Not Be Ignored by nyaknoj1: 7:12pm On Apr 02, 2016
This kind of noise portends a dying tire. Actually, the treading is separated from the body of the tire. It could turn into a giant steel-reinforced Weed Eater. It can cause massive. This could severe and massive damage to the body and framework of the car. So ignoring this kind of noise is doing both you and your car a disservice.
Syrup-like smell
This type of sweet smelling scent issuing from the engine most likely indicates problem with the vehicles cooling system. The smell and sweet taste of most vehicles antifreeze/coolant emanates from its ethelyne glycol.the leak source could start from an old, cracked, worn or ruptured radiator hose to a water pump that signaling spoiling. Ignoring this could lead to the car overheating.

Autos / 2016 Hyundai Tucson Review by nyaknoj1: 9:46pm On Apr 01, 2016
Introduction
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson comes fully redesigned as a compact SUV that is bigger in most ways than the model it replaces, but still slightly smaller than top selling class rivals. It is available in four trim levels (that is SE, Eco, Sport and Limited), each of which has plenty of features for their respective price tags. The regular SE starts at $22,525 while the Limited starts at $30,975. These are offered in four-cylinder engines, but the powerful and efficient turbocharged engine that is standard on the upper three trims is your best shot.

Autos / Exclusive 2016 Toyota Prius Review by nyaknoj1: 11:08am On Apr 01, 2016
It happened to be that the Toyota Prius was a niche car, a moving proclamation of counterculture eco mindedness. Today the Prius is so universal that it is regarded as the default commuter choice in the minds of many consumers. With the 2016 Prius, the fourth generation of Toyota’s standard bearing nameplate, the formula is still the same. It’s still comes as a four door hatchback with a hybridized four-cylinder engine that powers the front wheels.
