Interesting read! Will look more into the charger, hopefully I can loan it from some mechanics near me who specialize in hybrid cars? Or hire...
No, the head gasket replacement went fine. The issues started cascading after the replacement and when I posted the error codes and follow up pics...
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last checked in. I apologize for my absence. After encountering some recurring issues last year...
P.S : you can always return the tools purchased at autozone after fixing, even the non-loaners. Try other stores if one of the emps wont take them...
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. Been off the thread forever. It did work ok. It's very labor intensive work but with the right tools I could've...
@ToyXW I wonder if chain + tensioner is the only fix here. Seemingly the links are lining up, the TDC and cam marks are right. Are there other...
Update: Got around to removing the valve cover to check the marks for cams and harmonic balancer. (Link to video) it looks right to me, the cam...
Understood. There is a possibility the chain could've jumped a tooth, I did reuse the old chain. I can distinctly remember timing chain...
I’m guessing you purchased the last one they had in stock.. Do let us know how it goes!
below post of mine has the picture of the camshafts and harmonic balancer. (The pictures were taken at the same time). After that it was valve...
Sadly I got a check engine light back on. Felt the acceleration was sluggish and mpg dropped slightly (from 48 to 45mpg).. Went to autozone to get...
Will check it out! Thank you!
Much appreciated. Looking forward to the pics. I suspect any new suspension is going to be a huge upgrade. So i'm leaning towards KYB full...
Agreed, better to replace the whole unit. Hopefully will get to it in a few weeks time and update on here. Gas A Just is just the shock...
After finishing the head gasket replacement (thread, if interested) I'm looking to replacement the struts/suspension too. @207k miles, the...
Haha! I'm being cautiously optimistic... :)
Update: i think it’s done! Drove around 30 miles and no rattling! The handling seems stiff though. Or maybe its because I haven’t driven it in a...
thank you for pushing me. The smoke is almost all gone. The coolant was leaking because I didn’t tighten up the valve. coolant levels are...
Wish I could. So I turned on the engine again, to capture where the smoke is coming from, and noticed it’s gradually decreasing. Definitely not...
To the best of my knowledge it’s coming from exhaust manifold. Marked it out in the picture. The coolant levels went slightly below low, but...
