Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Antifreeze Smell In The Cab - Windshield Haze Of A Leaking Heater Core?
I have a 08 f-150 with a 5.4. Started smelling anti-freeze in the cab, with that classic windshield haze of a leaking heater core. I don't have anything on the floor, nor is the engine heating up. Temp gauge is where it always is. This doesn't smell all the time.I just drove 4 1/2 hrs. with no problems. Other than the heater core ?

View 2 RepliesLexus LS 2007+ :: How To Get Rid Of Haze In Headlights
The other day I really looked at them and realized that the yellowing headlights are kind of ruining the front look of the car. Mine is a 2007 and has been a northern car all it's life and I assume this is a more frequent issue with the northern state owners, rather than southern, due to salt, sand etc.
Has to tackle refurbishing headlights? If so, is there a 'best' method to get rid of the haze and restore them to near original shine and transparency? I've wet sanded and buffed headlights a long time ago on another vehicle and after a few weeks the haze much worse than originally, so I don't want to repeat that with these.
Camry :: Headlights Have A Haze On Inside Of Lens
I've noticed my 2011 headlights have a haze on the inside of the lens. I've tried polishing the outside with many different products, and it does a good job of the outside, but you can tell there is still hazing. A pal of mine also purchased a 2011 and kept his halogen lights and his lights still look new. His vehicle isn't even garaged..

I've had my Blizzard Pearl 2016 for about 5 weeks and about 2500 miles. Today I took it through the automatic carwash and while I was wiping it off afterwards I found I couldn't get the headlight covers completely clean. It looked like there was a drop of moisture on the inside and also the beginnings of the micro-scratches/haze I had on the inside of my 2010 Prius after 5 years or so.

I had the OEM projector fogs installed today, as well as the rear fog and Euroswitch (will post pics soon!). I love the look of the lights off just as much as on - such a great mod! My only concern is that there is some kind of haze (almost like condensation, but not) on the inside of the driver's side housing. It doesn't appear to obstruct the light, but it is clearly visible when the fogs are on. What this might be?

I will be towing my 8800 lb 5th wheel over Cabbage Hill in Oregon at the end of June. It is about 12 miles of 6% grade going up. Going to Salt Lake City area. I will be using my signature truck.
I will flush my system using Gooch's Flush Procedure...installing all new hoses...16lb radiator cap...and will use 2 gallons of Fleetcharge antifreeze and a bottle and a half of Supercoolant. My system works fine now, just want to make sure it is in top condition before I go.
Will this prevent overheating while crossing the mountains....or should I remove thermostat until I get in the flatlands?
Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Low Compression Results - Slight Brown Haze On Cylinders
While I had my glow plugs out to crank the motor for the HPOP work I have done I checked the compression on all the cylinders. 6 of the cylinders were 275-280, got 250 and 110 on the others. I put oil in both the low cylinders and the 250 went to 260 and 110 went to 150. I pressurized the low cylinder and with the valves closed it was leaking out the exhaust manifold also had a small amount of coolant come out the water pump. Removed the cylinder head and didn't see anything unusual with the cylinder that was reading low in fact the if was the best looking cylinder of the four with nice looking crosshatch on the cylinder wall.
The other three cylinders has some slight brown haze on them which I assume is rust. This motor probably hasn't run in 18 months and the truck was a non-runner when I purchased as a theft recovery, no history on the truck. Taking the one head to a shop for them to check it out. What's the opinions out there with the low compression? Be ok once it runs and rings get coated with oil? The motor is out of the truck so maybe I should tear it down completely hone and put new rings in it.

View 11 RepliesFord 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Smoke / White Haze Under Heavy Acceleration On Occasions
My truck 00' 7.3 255k is smoking white. It's not thick its more of a white haze. Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't. It has a 6637 intake, exhaust, and wicked wheel. No tuner or such. Im thinking either the turbo is going out or maybe a leaky injector? Just checked the turbo wheel and it has a little side to side play. On start up itll puff white then go away but then under heavy acceleration on occasion there is a haze of white then goes to haze of black. It also feels like the truck is lacking some power. There is no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. Not consuming oil or coolant. And there is no excessive pressure coming out of the oil fill.

Getting a ficm tuner from php tomorrow so interested to see what that does for things.
Passat (B7) :: How To Prevent Condensation Inside Headlights
I have the Chinese LED-stripe headlights, and I've been getting condensation in them lately. The weather hasn't been particularly warm, cold, or humid lately, but it happens every time I use them. It does evaporate over time, but it is quite a bit of moisture when it occurs (definitely noticeable, and dripping down the entire front inside the housing). With winter coming, I'm worried about this continuing to happen and freezing, etc. Is there something I might have done wrong when I installed them? This is not a case of water getting into the light housings--it almost seems like I need to do something to vent them, however, to see if that prevents the issue.

View 7 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: How To Prevent Trunk From Being Opened By Inside Lever
Most of the sedans I've owned in the last 25 years had a way to prevent the trunk from being unlocked from the inside without the non-Valet key. Sometimes it would be by turning the trunk lock in a particular way, or there might be a way to disconnect the passenger compartment lever with the non Valet key.
On this base model Camry however, it seems the trunk will always unlock with the hand lever, and the valet key is only for keeping the glove box locked. Is this right?
