Interesting, I was going to suggest look at the filter. I had mine back out on me a bit a couple of months ago. Noticed a few drops of oil on the garage floor one morning when I left. Checked it when I got home that night and was doing an oil change anyways...went to take the old filter off...
Haven't changed the oil in 9 months??? I hope you're running a good synthetic oil!
Make sure you check the oil level before you start it up after degreasing everything!
Yeah the coils are sagging a good bit...which surprises me...the suspension isn't really that old.
Don't have the cash at the moment for new coils, so looks like it's just shocks for the time being.
And figures it would get cold this weekend....should of done it this past weekend when it was...
Ok, so the time has come for new shocks all around on the Jeep. I'm tired of the 50 year old Buick like ride i'm getting from the Jeep (excessive bouncing after hitting bumps, every bushing sounds like it came off that 50 year old Buick too). I'll be picking up some new shocks tomorrow and...
Yikes....for $175 I would have strapped it to another vehicle and pulled it 2 miles down the road, and then had the tow truck come get it.
Hope you get it fixed.
Welcome!...And you can't leave us hangin like that! We gotta know what caused the JK to have a meltdown!
And I have to say....i'm not generally a fan of tricked out and lowered cars( I really can't stand the imports...but thats a whole 'nother topic)....but I really do like your Focus....looks...
If it's like most other vehicles, there is a one way check valve that is supposed to prevent the fuel from running back into the tank when you shut the Jeep off. This are quite common to malfunction on most vehicles, and show the same symptoms you describe.
Turning the key on and off a...
Switching from conventional to synthetic will not affect the pressure at all, provided you stay with the same weight. If you go from say a 10W-30 to a 5W-30 you MIGHT notice about a 1psi difference in hot pressure after a long highway run. For the most part though, that minor of a change...
Water pumps can and do go bad. About the only other thing I can think of to cause it to spray coolant possibly is the radiator, but my money's on the water pump.
As for the link you posted, I'm not buying that it was because the serpentine belt was too loose. If that's the case, you would...
Yup, just the channel to try and catch the oil from the filter when you take it off.
Double check that the filter is tight though, I had mine work loose a couple of months ago and started leaking a good amount of oil. When I checked the filter, I could spin it by hand easily.
