Civic - Honda :: Unable To Start Engine And Temporarily No Instrument Lights
On the average, every 3 months, my engine will not start. The starting motor is brisk and it really kicks over the engine but it takes 10 minutes of cranking before the engine fires up and then every thing is fine. Also, the lights on my main instrument panel will not turn on for the first 5 minutes when it is cold outside.

View 2 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Any Way To Turn Off Airbag Light Temporarily?
Not permanently, but temporarily? I can't really figured out any obvious reason why it is on, all the connections seem good, but I don't really know if I've covered all my bases. I obviously care that it functions properly in the event of a collision, however I was curious if there is a way to manually turn it off for a duration? I have an inspection coming up which doesn't allow for this light to be on.

Mount auxiliary driving lights (e.g. PIAA, Hella, or other Quartz or LED) on a 2015 RX350 F-Sport?
Where/how are they mounted? What brand did you use? Any problems mounting or using the auxiliary lights.
I'm thinking of using one driving light and one pencil-beam hyper-spot.
Golf/GTI VII :: Changing Wheels - Extra Load Or Standard
I have decided to purchase a set of Potenza RE760 Sport tires for my GTi.
I don't know the difference between extra load and standard. If I understood correctly extra load will be a bit harsher of a ride and is more performance oriented? What is the best option for my specific car? Running stock 18-inch Austin's btw.
Golf/GTI VI :: Better Option To The Standard MDI Insert In The Center Console?
Is there a better option to the standard MDI insert in the centre console? I was sure I'd seen a photo of an insert that kept the MDI but didn't waste then entire console. Am I just crazy? I mean come on, it doesn't even fit an iPhone very well. I have to put the phone in head first and then bend the cable flat to close the arm rest...
View 2 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Front Suspension Becoming Loose At Mounting Points Under Hood
So I have had my coilovers in for a little less than 2 months now and i have been noticing that my front suspension is becoming loose at the mounting points under hood and needs to be re-tightened periodically. I will say that unfortunately i have to drive in and out of some steep inclines and funny angles where it puts the car into tripod mode regularly. I'm not rubbing anywhere (fenders or bumpers) upon entry or exit but I am very low and really getting every bit of movement out of each corner, lots of creaking and popping (all from front, rears are fine) until tightened then its quiet again, but it all comes back after 3 or 4 days. I haven't tried driving for a week without hitting the steep inclines so I'm not sure if this is even the reason. But its the only thing that i can think of.

2010 Santa Fe 3.5 AWD
Is there a way to temporarily disable the AWD, if one were to want it to stay in 2wd mode? Without looking much further into it, my first guess was looking at one of the fuses, but didn't really find one that would stop the AWD from engaging.
And if there is a method, would it be just as simple and turning it back on, or would there be potential to screw things up and have to go back to the dealer to get it fixed again.

I noticed from time to time when i accelerate ventilation fans tend to drop speed. Not sure if the a/c shuts off for a brief moment as you can feel warmer air exit the vents. Nothing of concern to me as the a/c works fine, just wondering if it does this for a reason. Knowing the ac is a huge power consumption to the vehicle, I am wondering if it does this for the engine to put more power where needed.
On another note. I did a test on the HWY this past Saturday omw to a wedding coverage. 2hr drive there i used the a/c with seat vents on and got about 22/23mpg. On the way back i did the opposite and got 29.2mph, not too shabby... 2016 - 2.0T .....
Touareg :: Tire Pressure Warning Temporarily Unavailable
I finally got my Treg back from Montana today, on the drive back to WA, several times I get the message "tire pressure warning temporarily unavailable" or something along those lines.
Also, the VW shop in MT, only fixed the steering/suspension issues, they temp fixed the door so I could drive back to WA, I have an OffRoad Grey Treg with a purple mirror from some car, and a plexiglass window caulked in, hopefully it will go to the bodyshop tomorrow.
700 mile drive, 4 hours of which were through snow, the touareg was as surefooted as a mountain goat.
Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: How To Turn Off Voice Prompting Temporarily In Nav
Have searched the manual and cannot determine if it is possible to turn off the voice prompts on Nav. This is on a 2016 Prius 4 with ATP and PCP. I do understand that I can turn down the sound in settings, but that is many key presses and I'm looking for a way to turn it off temporarily from the map itself.
Use case is that I tend to keep Nav running all the time for traffic conditions, even when I know the way. When I am conversing with others in the car I want to silence it briefly.
Prius (2001-03) :: Turn Off Trunk Light Temporarily?
I want to turn off the trunk light temporarily, either by jamming the switch or removing the bulb. But I couldn't find the switch, the cover seems that it would break very easily, neither manual nor my haynes book tells me how to do this, or anything about the trunk light.

View 3 RepliesLexus LS 2007+ :: Steering Wheel Temporarily Off Center After Sudden U-turn
While driving to work I did a quick U-turn to avoid a congested left turn lane and when I completed the turn and straightened out, the steering wheel was about 30 degrees off center when driving straight ahead. A few seconds later it slowly centered itself, I'm assuming this was a Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) fault.
View 5 RepliesAccent LC (2000-05) :: When Shift Into 2nd Gear Car Seems To Stop Powering Wheels Temporarily
I have a 2002 Accent 1.6 with 187000 km on it. I started noticing over the last month that when I shift into second gear the car seems to stop powering the wheels temporarily. Once the RPM's pick up (around 2200) the problem goes away. This seems to only happen when I originally shift into second and the RPM's are lower. If I accelerate slowly then the lag usually won't happen, but if I push down more on the gas then you can really notice the lag.
The spark plugs only have 15000 km on them, air filter is new, just replaced the fuel filter, oil was just changed (synthetic) as well as the filter, and I just recently cleaned out the throttle body. I have also seemed to notice a loss of overall power since at highway speeds since this problem started. The engine doesn't lag when I'm in 4th or 5th gear on the highway, but it seems to have less power when I'm accelerating on the highway.
