Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 - Rough Idle And Engine Seems To Shut Off Without Any Notice
I have a 2008 Santa Fe 2,2 CRDi that recently started to behave bad. When cold it starts but runs only for a few seconds before it dies. The engine seems to shut off without any notice. I am able to start the car again straight away, but the same thing happens.
If I try to push the throttle I might be able to keep it running for a longer while, and it seems to improve as the engine gets warmer, but it still dies after a while. (Some minutes.) When running, the engine feels kind of rough (hard) and not a smooth as its supposed to be.
I have cleaned the EGR valve, and replaced all the injectors. I also checked the diesel filter for water and flow, but didn't replaced as it was changed this summer.
The car is a no runner as it is now, since the uncontrolled shutdown of the engine makes it danger to use in the traffic.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: GS430 Oil Leak In Driveway
For starters I hardly drive my gs430 and ill put it this way. Its almost been a year and i still haven't put 5k miles on the vehicle. back to the matter at hand. I am starting to see an oil leak in my driveway from this vehicle. I am unsure exactly where its coming from. It could be from the valve cover or the cam seal (assuming that is what it is called). The leak is above the alternator that is why I think its the valve cover and or the cam seal (if that's what it is)...
View 4 RepliesLexus SC430 :: Oil Leak / Drippings On Driveway
I have what I thought was an oil leak as I noticed some oil drippings in the garage virtually everyday. The last time I had the oil changed, I asked the Tech to take a look and see if he could tell where the drip was coming from. He told me he saw no evidence of a leak, however, there continues to be oil appearing on the garage floor.
Last week I took the car to the Lexus dealership in Smyrna, GA for some brake work and an alignment, and told them about the "leak" and asked them to take a look for me to see what is going on. They told me they found no evidence of a leak.
Fact is, oil is coming out of the car, slowly, but surely and two times I was told by those that had the car lifted that they can find no evidence. I assumed the dealership would find it, but no. What is going on?
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Oil Leak / Moderate Drip On The Driveway
Need to identify possible oil leak location. Went through 6 quarts of oil in a couple months. Moderate oil drip on the driveway. Ford dealership said the leak was definitely from one of the high pressure oil hoses but that didn't fix the entire problem. Took it back to the dealership and they diagnosed the problem as "LH HP Oil A Head Leaking Replaced" installed a new elbow fitting. Still leaking.... They are trying to be conservative in their approach however the leak is starting to become an irritant Just want the problem solved. Any probabilities where the oil leak could be coming from?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Transmission Leak - Drip And Run Stain Under The Truck On Driveway
I have an 09 screw, 4.6 3v, 3.55, 2wd. Last week, I noticed on the driveway a drip and run stain under the truck. I dismissed it as ac runoff. But it remained and lengthened. I got under it yesterday, and the tranny crossmember has fluid on it. I can't pinpoint where it is coming from. There was no drip either, and the truck was relatively cool. Of course there is no tranny fluid dipstick to check and the tranny pan is intact. It seems to be behind the transmission towards the driveshaft.

So the water pump on my early 99 (158k miles) is starting to leak just sitting in the driveway, did a little research last night and read a few write ups. Just wondering if any tips or tricks I could use to make this go easier. Also any list of parts I should replace and/or might need. I read on one write up about replacing it with an Airtex water pump and was wondering about what people thought of those, I would rather fix it right then just go with the cheapest parts. Possibly there are better brand water pumps out there?

I'm the second owner of this '07 Passat 2.0T Wolfsburg with 45,681 miles, so it should still be in warranty. I've had it just under a month and love it but have been noticing oil on the fenders. I've noticed an oil smell after shutting off the car and decided to take a look under the hood today. The pics below show what I'm finding. The oil splatter is after a wash and 130 miles of driving. The red rectangles show the oil puddles on the engine under the air intake tube.
Where this can be coming from? I'd like to be able to tell the dealership something before taking it in. The nearest dealer is about 60 miles from me in New Orleans. I work in NO so leaving the car there wouldn't be a major problem.
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: AC Not Blowing Cold Air - Oil Spots On Driveway
I noticed the A/C was not blowing cold air. I also noticed oil spots on the driveway. I jacked up the car and there is oil coming from Evap drain line. I bought a can of refrigerent with a gauge. The A/C was low. The car took the whole 18 oz and was still low. But blows cold air now. My guess is that the evaporator is leaking.

Venture :: 2004 Quit Without Notice / No Attempt To Start
This car has been great in terms of reliability and no leaks (read not a drop) anywhere.
Today it has decided to quit without notice.
Turn the ignition and it appears to be turning off/on rapidly sort of like maybe it's shorting or something. Dash lights go off/on as this occurs. No attempt to start... as you hold the key on start dash lights the rapid on/oof action described above.
Where I should start troubleshooting this thing??

Phaeton :: Key Battery Empty Notice Arrives Regularly
We get a flat tyre notice at least once a week. ( Checked the pressure with the gauges from two of our other cars.) NO FLAT. Pressure as when previously checked.NOT FROM COLD WEATHER. Our temperature here in South Florida stays fairly constant.
The "Key Battery Empty" notice arrives regularly, and we change the battery [2032] just as a precaution and the message again appears.
The 2004 W12 is still under 'warranty'.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Cracking Noise From Inside When Turning In Or Out Of A Driveway
So I've been getting this weird cracking noise from inside my car. Sounds like its coming from the rear side of the headliner. This always happens when I'm turning in or out of a driveway or over a speed bump. What it could be. Usually at low speeds and usually when I'm turning. It is very annoying!

When I reverse out of my driveway, my car makes a noise. It only happens when it is in reverse and sounds like something may be rubbing against each other. It's not a high pitched squeaking noise but more so just vibrations and a light rubbing noise.

I have an early production 2008 2.0T 6MT. The car has just over 2000 miles on the clock. I noticed that early in the morning, when it's cold, pulling out of my driveway, I hear a clunk from the front end. It doesn't always happen. Also, on the highway, the car feels like it wanders left and right, certainly more than my old B5.5 did, and in general it pulls to the left and the steering wheel sits slightly to the right. I found the following TSB on this site: [URL] .... My question is, this TSB doesn't mention anywhere that an alignment should be performed as part of the service. Should that be done? I'm going to take it to the dealer tomorrow.

When the car is in a situation where there is a twisting force, such as entering an inclined driveway from an angle, a loud POP is sometimes heard from the rear of the car. The intensity of the POP varies dependent on speed and angle of incline, higher speed/greater incline/decline produce a louder POP.

View 5 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Crunching Noise In Front End Usually Pulling Out Of Driveway Or Hitting Bump
So recently my car has been making almost a crunching noise in the front end of my car usually pulling out of the driveway or hitting any type of bump. But it doesn't seem to always happen. It's a louder crunch when it's colder out. It almost sounds like a rusty door being closed/opened rather then a crunch. My car has just about 77k on it and this is the only issue I have with it.
