Toyota - Matrix :: 2004 - CEL On / Code Indicating A Recent Failure To Shift Properly

So, I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix with about 104K miles on it, regular oil service and general maintenance. A few weeks back, my check engine light came on, took it in for diagnosis. The code was for the TCC, indicating a recent failure to shift properly. I've noticed no unusual behavior before or since the light came on, but I'm told that this is an indication of a failing transmission. My local transmission repair shop took it for a drive and said that this was probably the case as well. Estimates for a rebuild run in the 2200-2400 range. That said, I've also seen that it could be that I just need new transmission fluid. I had the fluid replaced, again, no noticeable shifting problems or unusual car behavior.

I'm wondering if

a) I should just drive and maintain the car as usual and if the light returns, then consider a rebuild or

b) begin to make preparations to get rid of the vehicle.

Bluebook estimates this in the 3-3500 range, so I'd assume it's sale value would be quite a bit less (perhaps less than the cost of a rebuild) for obvious reasons.

Golf V R32 :: 2008 Does Not Turn Over Fault Code U0100

Fault code (U0100 lost comm with ECM/PCM)

Car started a few weeks back. I let is sit while I ordered a new dash, it had a blow dash airbag.

I replaced the dash, taking out the stereo and instrument cluster. I also replaced the battery with a new factory one.

Went to start the car and nothing happened, no cranking, the only thing I can hear is a single click from the starter. All the lights are on in the instrument panel.

Windows, sunroof don't work even in AUX power. Fuel pump does not prime

I searched the forums and tried numerous advice, but to no avail.

I checked the fuses, none were blown, checked the relays, all work.

OBDII reader throws out the code U0100 even though check engine light is not on. I dont have VAGCOM or VCDS but should in a few days.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Coolant Gone - Speedometer Fault Code Came On

This morning, I wanted to drive to work, but all of my coolant was gone. In the last couple of weeks, I had some errors with my speedometer and had it replaced a week ago, which did not fix my problem (the P0722 sometimes still came up).

Could it be that my coolant leaked over the last weeks and somehow messed with my speedometer, or are those most likely independent errors?

My car is a 2000 Jetta VR6 and at this point I don't want to put too much into it any more. If you need more input, let me know.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: MAF Sensor Fault Code - No Crank Or Start

I bought an 05 golf GL with a 2.0 and 5 speed in January for commuting to work.

Well, recently. I was on my way home from work, I'm an engine tech for Cummins Inc, and I notice my CEL came on and the car stalled multiple times at red lights. So I limped it home, connected my scanner and the fault was "Implausible signal from Mass Air Flow sensor". I cleared the fault code and tried to start the car. Nothing, no crank no start. Just an audible click from under the hood.

I disconnected the battery for 5 min reconnected it and it started fine. Drove it to work the next day, no issues. I tried to start it again and nothing, CEL was on again for the MAF sensor. I pop started it, car ran like hell, rough idle, low power, etc. luckily I have a dualy that I can drive in the mean time.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Engine Will Turn But Not Fire / P0441 Fault Code And Gas Cap Warning Light

After running to operating temp, if the car is turned off then restarted (like you would at a gas station, which is where I notice this) the engine will turn and turn and turn but not fire. I have noticed that stomping on the acceleration will cough it into life during this procedure. This doesn't happen every time and I have recently run high octane gas during a long distance trip.

106K miles...

Recent p0441 fault codes and gas cap warning light...

No other problems or codes...

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Recent Road Noise Getting Worse

Just bought a 2001 santa fe, 2.7 v-6, automatic trans, 2 wheel drive, new tires, 120,000mi. Got a great deal, don't want to negate that by nickle and dimming. 3 weeks ago noticed a howling from drivers front at speed, pitch changes with wheel speed not rpm so i figured wheel bearing. Took both front tires off with vehicle firmly supported and put vehicle in drive and increased rpm. The noise is not at hub but at other end where the shaft attaches to transaxle. I figured there would be an "axle bearing" or some such i could replace but I can find no reference of one, and my book doesn't have break down of the transaxle. Where can i find more information, schematics, etc? I hope I don't have to remove transaxle to have one pressed in.

Touareg :: 2005 - Locking / Unlocking Process Changed After Recent Recall Work?

I have a 2005 V8 and in getting my latest service, a bunch of recalls were completed on the vehicle which seemed to screw up the locking/unlocking of the doors. In the past, the doors unlocked without having to hit any of the buttons on the key fob, but now, I get a 'chirp' from the car when I lock it, and have to click the unlock button once for the front doors and twice for the back doors. Is there anyway to revert back to the old way where just having the key close to the door unlocked it?

Camry :: P0606 Code - PCM / ECU Fault

So I had a P0606 code which points to a PCM/ECU fault. It would come and go and not really cause much of a problem with driving. It did stall once but it started right back up. The light would come on for half a day and go off. Rinse and repeat......

The dealer replaced it today under my extended warranty. Sure enough, the CEL returned today. I haven't had the code read but I can only assume it will be P0606 again.

Touareg :: P0173 Fault Code Exhibiting

With all DTCs cleared, this fault code would occur without even shifting out of Park. VW replaced both ECMs, fuel filters and O2 sensors and the car ran fine for the next 1400 miles.

At which point, I decided to get a tune - the car drives great (power gain = ~60hp/90tq. However, I am back to the P0173 fault code exhibiting the same behavior. There are no driveability issues, in fact the new tune seems to be a little smoother than the stock tune. Why this is happening again.
