Toyota - Landcruiser :: 2000 - Tough Time Starting When Temperature Dips Down
When the temperature dips below 30 degrees the vehicle has a tough time starting and in some cases won't start at all. It will crank and crank, it just won't fire...once the temperature starts to rise the engine will start fine and will be good for the rest of the day. We took it to a mechanic last year and spent $350 for a temperature sensor replacement which has proven not to be the issue!!!
View 3 RepliesAccent RB (2012+) :: Rough Idle / Stall At Stops And Tough Time Accelerating
Noticed this to be a problem with our older 2011 Accent, now with the 2012 Accent.
The car has a rough idle usually in mornings, it seems like it is going to stall at stops, it also has a tough time accelerating.
The computer scan does not show there is anything wrong until the problem becomes worse.
This is what I have discovered through the 2011 Accent. Car will stall at stops. Very inconvenient in rush hour traffic. Until they replace the Crankshaft Point Censor, the problem would not go away.
I would insist on looking at this rather than replacing sparkplugs or having any other service performed if one is experiencing these same symptoms. The good thing is it is under warranty.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Window Seals Are Melting
The window seals (black rubber at the bottom of each window) on my '07 Prius are melting. They're leaving melted black "goo" on my windows when I roll them down and back up. One of them actually deteriorated all the way and fell off. Granted, I live in AZ and it's been hotter than a Texas whore's crotch on dollar night, but I've lived here all my life and I've never seen anything like this. I'll post a photo when I get a minute. (by the way - my profile says '08 but my ex-snagged that and I've got an '07 now).
View 8 RepliesCamry :: Window Seals Leaving Black Residue On Windows
2011 SE v6 18k miles (certified used)
When we bought our Camry a couple months ago one of the things we noticed at the dealership when looking at the car was that all the windows had a black line at the very top of all of the windows. It looks like the window seal is rubbing off onto the windows and leaving this black line of "stuff" on the window.
We mentioned it to the salesman who said that when the car was being detailed, it would be cleaned off.
When we were picking up the car, there was still some of this black residue on the very tops of the windows, where it seals into the door. We said something to the salesman and he personally took a razor and some cleaner and wiped it off.
Here is the problem, it keeps doing it. I'm assuming that the window seals are bad, possibly from the heat? Either way they keep leaving this black residue on the windows which is annoying my wife.

My 2006 F350 has a nasty air leak/whistle coming from the rear power sliding window, unfortunately I found the one of the vertical seals laying in the cab. Looking for some insight on if there is a replacement seal kit, where I can find one and how difficult is it to install?
View 2 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Going Into First And Reverse Is Really Tough
I have an 03 Jetta with an awp and 02j trans with 100,000 and I believe it's still the factory clutch. Trans fluid was flushed at 98000.
Problem : Going into first and reverse is really tough.
From 1st to 2nd and all other gears it is decently smooth not perfect though
The clutch pedal has a slight vibration in it when fully depressed
Once car gets warm it gets even worse to get into first and reverse
Does not pop out of gear or grind.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Driver Side Window Randomly Stop Working From Time To Time
Having problems with the auto-up feature on your windows? Mine seems to randomly stop working from time to time. Only the drivers side has the problem. When the truck was new the dealer re-programmed the computer and put a new window switch in. That worked for a while but the problem keeps coming back. I can easily do the re-programming sequence however the problem always comes back. I have a 2012 Lariat SCREW.

My '11 GTI was bought used, and the rear hatch springs are way too tight. The hatch will spring all the way open when i push the remote, which is good but it's a PITA to close. My gf can't close it and I have to muscle it down. I tried other Golf cars and it takes 2-4x more effort on mine. Is there a way to loosen the springs a bit?
View 2 RepliesGolf VI R :: Squeak From Around The Door Seals Whenever Car Flexes
I had my car detailed last Saturday, and now I'm hearing squeaks from around the door seals whenever the car flexes (going over speed bumps, around corners, during rapid acceleration, etc.).
I wonder if they used something to clean the door seals that's causing the squeaks.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Car Came With No Sunroof But Seals Started Leaking
So I bought my 03 golf 2.slow about 10 years ago used and it came with a moonroof... not a sunroof. I never really thought about it and just assumed it was a option from the factory but the seals have been leaking lately and I was looking for a replacement seal and could not find anything only sunroof parts. Is this an aftermarket moonroof where they cut a hole in the roof and added this?..I really hope not. Or did someone take the sunroof assembly out and put this in its place.

View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Window Takes Some Time To Roll Down
No codes, no obvious troubles other than, when I use the power window control on my 99 passat to control the driver side rear window, I have to hold the button down sometimes for 1 second, sometimes for 15 seconds before it actually moves. If I try to operate the window from the actual button on that door( the rear door), it works fine with no hesitation or sticking. No, the safety lock is not on. I am guessing it is something electronic but as there are no burnt fuses or damaged wires, I am left confused.

So I've been noticing some issues with my 2011 GTI with only 1800 miles. I had some weird drive by wire issues, like the motor holding its RPMs with the clutch in for excessive time, a start up and idle issue (TPS?), my passenger window is very slow (heard that this is common), and now my driver window hesitates and pauses when rolling it down... ERR!
And yes I will take it to the dealer, its just that I live 100 plus miles away.
Passat (B5) :: Clicking Noise Each Time On Pressing The Switch But Window Will Not Go Down
I have an 02 Passat with a passenger side window motor problem. The window works fine from the drivers side and will go up using the pass. side switch, but it will not go down. It makes a clicking noise each time I press the switch and the window sort of acts like it wants to move down. I took the door panel off and checked the switch and the wires going to the motor and every thing looked ok. I checked the switch with a multimeter and it appears to be ok. What else I can check?
View 6 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Occasional Huge Thud Sound From Time To Time When Put Into Two Certain Gears
So I'm also noticing my car occasionally makes a huge thud sound from time to time when I put it into two certain gears. From park to reverse it's not loud but there's a little noise, but from any gear into Drive it's sometimes a loud boom and the car shakes. My pops mentioned to me this is dangerous because of how the engine is moving underneath the hood when it happens. I just recently changed the dog bone mount, could it be the others? I'm ware that it's wise to change all 3 if you change one but I was on a budget & it was a lot worse before. Someone mentioned it might be my torque converter but I did some research & the two symptoms don't add up. And I'll add once more that this happens occasionally & not every time I switch to a different gear. What it may be?
View 11 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2006 F350 - Check Engine Light Came On / Blocked EGR Passage
I bought a 06 f350 Friday night with 132,000 miles. No lights when we test drove or left the dealership. About 20 miles down the road the check engine light came on, truck ran fine so I continued the trip home no problem. Saturday night I had the codes check and it said a blocked EGR passage. Yesterday after a decent amount of driving a wrench light started popping on after 20-30 minutes of driving. But no memory code. Would that be related to the blocked EGR? Will cleaning the EGR fix both lights or what?

I've got a 2013 Corolla S with an upgraded sound system. Well when the vehicle is running and its in park or stopped and I turn the wheel, the headlights dim. My headlights also dim if I roll up more than one window at a time. I've been slowly trying to narrow down the issue but with no such luck. I have a 1600 watt amplifier and two, 800 peak watt subwoofers.
