View 14 RepliesLexus GS 2013+ :: Rubbing Only On Front Fender Liners
I just recently dropped my car on BC racing coilovers 16k fronk and 14k rear. I am having slight rubbing issues in the Front only. For everyone that's dropped on coils, if you were rubbing what did you do? I currently have my dampening set on 16/32. The rubbing is actually only on my front fender liners. I love the comfort with 16/32 and don't want to turn it up stiffer and I don't want to raise it up too much. I was told to raise it, turn up stiffness or heat up fender liner and push it up or in a bit. Also for the rear since its 2 piece suspension, to raise or lower the rear 1/2 inch would you adjust the height on the BC struts or the BC springs (the one that's sitting in the bucket)? A shop installed mine and I've only owned 1pc rear suspension for my other cars.

I recently purchased 96 Toyota Tacoma 108 K miles. I discovered that it is totally missing all the front fender liners on both sides. Looking for info as to the number of parts needed for each side. No need to include the clips because they are bought by the 10 pack. Maybe how many 10 packs.
View 2 RepliesFord 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2013 - Adding Rear Wheel Well Liners?
I first saw them on the 2013 build and price and was thinking that I should look into adding them to my 12. I never got around to looking up part numbers. So, recently I thought of it again and after a little poking found that they could be had as a Ford accessory kit for around $110 depending on your dealer. MSRP is 133 I think. So, I hit the dealer and grabbed a set they had in stock. Install took 30 minutes. Very easy. They give the wheel wells a finished look and offer lots more protection than the small plastic strips on the rear that came with the truck. A hundred or so bucks well spent if you don't have them. There are aftermarket ones that are a touch cheaper on eBay by Rugged Liner but they don't work with the 5th wheel prep which I have.

I'm unable to open my trunk door with the remote, using the key, or with the switch on the drivers side door. I am also pretty sure it is not frozen shut. Will I need to switch out the complete latch assembly or just need to wd-40 something? This is for a 2000 Passat 1.8T Sedan.

What is the point of being able to start the A/C if it shuts down as soon as a door is opened? I'm not talking about using the feature when the charging system is active, but rather when the car has been sitting in the sun, such as while one is grocery shopping, etc.

The noise seems routine. It happens when you get close to the car and open your door. I guess the car is anticipating that you will start the car soon and under the hood, some subtle mechanical noises occur. Just wondering what that noise is?

View 1 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Smart Key Stopped Opening The Door / Car Not Starting
Recently bought a 2010 Toyota Prius 1.8 and it was working very well. It used to display a message saying that the key battery is low. Then one day, the smart key stopped opening the door. After some reading on the forums, decided that the smart key battery might be really low, so used the mechanical key to get in and tried to start the car by placing the Toyota logo of the smart key on the power button. Since nothing happened, decided to replace the batteries anyways. After the replacement, tried again, but zip. The doors still won't unlock, and the proximity switch-on also is not working. Why? Is it an issue with the 12-v battery?

The door ejar light stays on, on my moms 02 passat. I checked the latch to see if it opens and closes all the way, the light is still on when the door is closed all the way (it sits flush with the rear door) and there is a small whistle once in a while when driving. and sometimes, she says, the luggage compartment light comes on like the trunk is open but its closed.
View 10 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Not Starting In Hot Weather?
Passat 3.6 ... The 4Mo has been out in AZ for about 8 months now. After leaving it in a garage for two months when i flew back home, i came back to find the battery completely dead. It was periodically started but one day my cousin told me it didn't even unlock anymore.
Battery died and was replaced with a "hot weather" one. AAA guy laughed when he saw my plates and checked the battery to find it was a "cold weather" one that wouldn't stand a chance stagnant in the heat.
Coming out of class yesterday where it was HOT and sunny all day, my car didn't start. After giving it another try and some gas, it finally turned over and started. This happened before on my old battery once too, very rare, but it sketches me out that it happens at all.
Could this be a problem with the starter or just hot weather? I don't remember this happening in NJ, but an upcoming road trip makes me wanna know what I am working with.
Passat (B5) :: 1999 VW Not Starting After Turned It Off
My 1999 VW Passat is having some starting problems. I drove it home, and turned it off myself, and then it never started again. I replaced the starter, and it works, because i can hear it. The Engine just wont turn over.
So i looked inside the car, and when i turn the key to the battery spot, PRNDetc. doesn't show up on the dash. I also noticed that i can push it backwards in drive.
I have had the transmission replaced recently, and i took it to a couple places and they tried to tell me that my engine was seized. I tend not to think so, because it there was something wrong with the transmission, the engine wouldn't turn over since it is connected to the transmission.
It is a tiptronic transmission. By any chance do you think it could be the transmission circuit board under the shifter? or a fuse, or some kind of linkage in the transmission that is messed up? Possibly the flywheel?
Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Not Starting / Cranking
Just curious on what it could be. I checked all fuses I did find some blown ones but I replaced them then the car worked and now it not cranking again. I checked the fuses I found another bad one i replaced it but still not cranking. All lights turn on, radio turns on. The fuses were check engine slots.

Recently my B5.5 V6 has been acting funny when I start it after it has sat for a while (several hours). It doesn't want to start, and when it does, it seems to be missing. Clears out pretty quickly, but it's got me scratching my head. Only does this when it's been sitting for a while (>5-6 hours or so). I'm thinking fuel pressure accumulator.
View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2006 - Not Starting Easily After Getting Gas
Every time i put gas into the car, it always takes a couple tries to start it back up. I guess the main question is why? No matter how full the tank is or how empty it is, every time gas goes into it the car won't start right away. I usually try once, then have to wait another 30 sec and try again, then it will start. So my question is why does it have trouble starting after I put gas in it?

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Transmission Is Starting To Cut Up?
I'm currently at 115k miles on my 2.0t automatic 2006 passat. As of last week my transmission is starting to act up. my car has been driven on the highway 90% of its life. the shifts are becoming very hard and it is not shifting at the right revs from time to time, sometimes itll go into 4th gear and chirp the tires.
yesterday the dashboard showed me in 2nd gear at all times when it was obviously shifting . the dash also showed that all the gears were selected along with park, reverse, and sport mode while i was in drive.
the interesting part is that when i drive my car in tiptronic mode, there are no issues with shifting and the shifts are normal, not slamming into gear. the dealer has not looked at the car yet but they said it could be a sensor or a true transmission issue.
