actually the subarus were known to eat head gaskets... I will give you that the 2000 -2002 2.5 litre engine was the one that was infamous for that. my last subaru was a 2003 with the 2.5L engine. I had a 1990 Legacy I that had over 200,000 on when I traded it only because the transmision was...
No I do not carry all that stuff with me. I have ghorrila tape in case of a burst hose... any turbo engine can burst a charge air hose though. I don't carry a fuel filter but I have a spare at home. My EGR is disabled utill I install SEGR to totally disable it or get a GDE tune.
yeah I have...
My CRD is not junk! I have had no big problems with it so far and it has never broken down on me. it is my daily driver and only vehicle. Its starts for me every day in all weather and carries my Fat A$$ every day where I need to go in comfort.
I got my CRD because I wanted a vehicle that...
Rotella is $19.00 a gallon at wally world so thats $4.75 a quart x 6.4 quarts =$30.40 I use Napa Gold filters that cost me $6.59 with my AAA discount so total of $36.99 per 6,500 miles. ok so I spend $7 more but I can get 1500 miles more out of it. really thats very close to what you are...
yeah thats what I thought..... many have towed heavier loads than 5000# with the CRD and one guy on LOST still got 19MPG towing over 5000 pounds!
So towing is one thing the CRD is better for than a Gasser:D
how about I chalange you to tow a 5000 pound trailer. That mini van gasser wrangler won't do it. I'd win you would damage your trans or engine trying it.
how do you figure higher maintance cost? I change my own oil and it don't cost me any more than it would for a gasser to use the same quality oils other than mine may take a quart more of it. I can go 6500 miles on one oil change and that is the severe service schedule, for gas its 3000 miles. I...
I have not ever driven a 3.7L Liberty and not sure I care to at this point. I have not had any issue with my CRD more than maintance things and a minor computer glitch that could have happened to a gasser and had nothing to do with the engine at all. the dealer fixed that no charge too.
That...
I want to do this to mine soon too. does anyone recall the tools and sizes of wrenches and socked needed? I want to be sure I have every thing before I start.
You are Lucky to have your parents Honda since insurance wouldn't pay for you to have a rental car. And they should have given you a rental unless the rental company they use only rents to over 25 and you are under 25 years old. I do feel your pain though. I have had higher cars since the...
yeah you can have heated mirrors. My Limited has them..... they are engaged when you turn on the rear window defroster. in Pennsylvania they are very nice to have in the winter.
I changed my fuel filter last at 39,000 so being i was at less than 50K then changing it wasn't something I was going to do unless it happened again. I have been keeping a spare filter since though.
MIne did the same thing about a month or two ago. I was driving and lost power between traffic lights and then it just got worse. I pulled off to a car park and the engine was running like not all cylinders were firing. I turned it off checked the fuel primer which was firm, looked for leaks...
do you have a Cell phone with a camera built in? My insurance agent tipped me off to this as a good tool in collecting info at an accident. since you are likely to have it on you use it if in an acident. use it to take pics of the damage and of where cars are before they are moved if possable...
Take it to a body shop yourself if you can. I am in York also I would recomend Pritz auto body or Rudisil's as good shops that have good long standing records. see what they tell you. some body shopps like the one in Dover on Hilton Ave my family has also delt with will you hosestly and very...
Yeah I posted that thinking if it was a comman failure that would be the fix. I have had no window issues yet (knock on something wood fast) but if I do thats what I am going to try first.
I have not read in the year I have had my Jeep and been on LOST about motor gears strippling but I...
Amsoil claims 25,000 miles on one of their oils with their best filter. I don't buy into it not for a diesel for sure but they aren't recomending it for diesel engines... only gas engines still I'm not sure about that. I have a friend that is doing it with an 08 Silerverdo that sees over 50%...
