Ford Excursion :: Adding In-line Filter Setup To Power Steering Setup
I want to add an in-line filter to my power steering set up. I'm replacing my pump, lines and steering box and I want to add a magnetic filter that will be easy to clean and change the filter without dumping fluid every time I want to replace the filter. I'm thinking of adding the Magnafine pro filter with aluminum billet housing. I know the plastic magnafine filters have been used alot and the knock off Raymundo's as well. Has anyone used this filter before and where did you mount it? I'm thinking of placing it between the PS reservoir and the air filter with fuel fittings and a fuel shutoff to close while swapping out the filter. Is there a better filter set up out there that I should consider?

I'm ordering the parts to add fog lights onto my TDI SE and want to increase the light output so that I can drive with the Audi style LED headlights in the parking light setting with the fogs on and still see where I'm going. I have a few questions regarding the setup:
1) Since it is an aftermarket setup on my SE do I need to get a CANBUS HID kit or a regular one?
2) I know there is an increase in light output when installing regular H11s in place of a H8 bulbs. Is it the same with an HID setup?
3) I'd like to find an affordable 5000k HID kit with decent quality.
Passat (B7) :: Rear Springs Went Upside Down After Coilover Setup
So I bought mkv r32 FK streetline coilovers, got them installed and when I went to adjust them myself I ran into an issue. The rear springs are upside down, making the threads on the bottom so I can't even get the flat tool in there without dropping the control arm. The tech working on it told me that is how the kit is designed.

I recently leased a 2013 Passat SE and I desperately need to eliminate the wheel gap. I know that SoloWerks has some coilovers available or our car, but I have a friend that has a CC on KSports and I absolutely love the way they ride. Ksport does not make a coilover for our cars, but I have heard that the CC suspension is the same. Looking for CC coilover setup on these cars yet? I'll be sure to post pictures once I get my wheels and eliminate the wheel gap!
View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Consistent Squeal From Left Rear Brake Setup
First of all, except for my current problem, I love the combination of Brembo disks and PBR/Axxis Ultimate pads on the front and rear of my 1998 Passat 1.8t Sedan for daily driving. The feel is great, less dust than OEM or others, consistent performance in wet driving (much much better than Mintex Redbox pads). Initially had a bit of squeal on the pads after about 300 miles, but then after some heartbreaking that went away and I have had over 3000 miles of squeal-free and consistent braking..... at least until more recently.
In January (~1000 miles ago), I switched from my summer wheels to my winter wheels. Ever since then, I have had an almost consistent squeal from my left rear brake setup. It occurs at the latter half of pressuring when the car has slowed. I've tried really hard freeway braking which works (for a few more breaking events). I've tried resetting the bolts on that wheel (I always use a torque wrench). That only solves it for a couple of braking events.
I have even removed the wheel, rotated the rotor on the hub and reset the wheel. Still no luck. The brake and rotor surface look in great condition, and there is definitely no play in the hub nor is their any warping evident - no pulsation at all. Everything is torqued properly. I have been able to get rid of the squeal for about 10 breaking events by riding the parking brake while at higher speeds for more than 5 secs. Sometimes with really hard braking it goes away for a short while. Then, in either case, it comes back.

Camry :: 2007 SE - OEM Remote Start Setup
Have a few questions about remote start for the Camry. I have a 2007 Toyota camry SE (6/2006) model. I'm interested in doing an OEM remote start set up. I've gone to the toyota dealership before and i inquired about remote start and they stated there wasn't any for the 2007's but i see YouTube videos and ECU's on ebay that indicate otherwise. Now if i were to do remote start. Could i just purchase the Ecu and i guess get someone to install it and then use my 4 button fob to sync it? or is there more work to it than that or my car will only work with a certain ECU.

Just exploring on my touch screen, while under Setup and then under Vehicle you have the DRL option of {on or off }. But I don't see any difference with I select either one. Even if I switch on my DRL or headlights I see no change when I select on or off. What does it change?? I'm also not finding an answer in the owners manual. On my headlight switch I have these options... Off - DRL - Parking lights - Head lights> All my other Prius friends have an auto headlight that I somehow missed out on ....

View 1 RepliesFord Brakes/Suspension :: Airbag Setup Sagging With 75 Psi?
This is my issue I have a set of Firestone airbags with The 2.5in leveling kit with 35in trail grappler. I haul a 36ft toyhauler weighing 12k loaded with a hitch weight of 1340lbs. And with 75psi in the air bags it still sagging even tho theSprings aren't even being used.
I plan on buying a sxs and putting it in my truck bed. I can only imagine having 1300lbs in the bed and towing the trailer.
My question is should I go back to stick size tires and take the leveling kit off? Or do I have other options? Maybe thicker Springs or add a leaf?
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Setup RX350 To Provide Audio Cue When Fuel Is Low?
My '08 Ford Fusion and '07 Jeep Wrangler do this but for some reason my '10 RX 350 does not.
I tried looking in the vehicle settings but could not find anything. I just want the vehicle to beep at me when fuel mileage gets low as I've gotten within less than 10 miles the last few tanks before I noticed that I need to fill up.
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Installation Of Garage PIP Charging Setup
Like most of PIPPOS (plug in Prius pre orderers) I have been planning this install for a while. I am glad it was so simple and came in under budget.
Charging transformer attached to wall with velcro command strips so can be removed if needed. Next to that (closest to car plug) is a plastic garden hose hanger I picked up at lowest.
I am perfectly pleased with how quick and easy this install was and how perfectly it works for the car.
