Golf IV R32 :: Window Seals Becoming Tough With Passage Of Time?
So, now that it's cooler out sometimes, a quirk has resurfaced, one that bugged me semi-consistently last winter.
Seems that when the mercury drops, both windows in my R start making creaky, squooshy, rattly noises... but only when they're closed all the way. Forgot about this over spring/summer. If I open them a tiny bit, they're quiet. My guess/assumption/theory is that the rubbery stuff against which the top of the glass seals (when the windows are all the way closed) has lost its flexibility over the years and sorta holds the edge of the glass in place less firmly than it's supposed to. OR it's just brittle or something and that noise is the edge of the glass rubbing on it instead of sinking into it a little. And then I get that creaky/squooshy/rattly sound. It's not all that loud, but hey on one side it's right next to my ear after all.
Wondering if:
-- this theory of mine makes sense
-- replace those pieces in the door there, for whatever reason, how hard it is to do that, and where they got replacement pieces to begin with
Searching on a few things netted me nothing on this subject.

I can't find any way to switch my Prius 3 Touring from miles to kilometers. Since I live close to Canada, and expect to drive there, not being able to switch would be an issue, as there are no corresponding markings on the totally absent dial. Or does the Prius just know when it should switch?

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 accidentally switched my C from miles to kilometers and for the life of couldn't figure out how to switch it back. Since I was resetting the trip odometer when this happened I thought it might have something to do with the trip odometer settings. I was correct. If you hold the trip odometer button down it will switch. Fortunately it switches back the same way.

View 2 RepliesCamry :: 2007 LE - Noise Coming From Engine At Idle?
I have a 2007 Camry LE, with about 104,000 miles on it. Lately I've noticed a noise ONLY when the car is idling, rather in park or drive. I don't hear it all when I'm driving. It's somewhat hard for me to tell if it's coming from the engine or under the car, but its definitely near the front and sounds lower in the body. My first instinct told me that it was related to the exhaust system, but it doesn't quite sound like a rattle. It sounds closer to a belt struggling to turn...it actually sounds a little bit like when my water pump and alternator went, but I had those replaced 15 months ago so I really don't think it's that at all. I also had the radiator replaced 2 months back, so I don't think it's that. I don't know drive far to work, so I haven't put a lot of miles on the car in the last year.
Otherwise the car drives normally, just hear this sound at idle. The only other thing I've noticed over time is that when the car gets to about 2500-3000 miles after an oil change, I notice the light flashes when making hard turns..but that's it, and it goes away when I get the oil changed. Obviously I know that the engine is burning oil probably faster than it should, but I'm not sure if that might somehow be related to what I'm hearing above.

It seems my head gasket is blown. I've got tonnes of foam and froth in my coolant reservoir and my conclusion is that it is likely the head gasket. I cleaned it out once and after about 1/2 hour of driving its full of foam again.
I can't believe it. I checked with an Indi mechanic and he was surprized too. I'm checking at the dealer tomorrow but I'm outside of the warranty so I'm not holding out any hope.
