I don't believe it can work like that. The aircon is on or off. The temp control is just a t-stat that tells the car when to add more cold air. Do you have a knob of some kind to add hot air, or...

As long as it's not Sat morning I'm game. I still say stick to large parks with large parking lots. They're public so no worry about getting kicked out. Clement park is my vote.

Let Play Guess that Noise

I picked up a 2000 foz a/t last week with what was supposed to be a bad transmission. The seller told me he had it looked at by a mechanic who found metal in the fluid. When I asked which fluid,...

But it will "short cycle" too if the refrigerant is low. Have your dealer throw some gauges on it and see where you're at. If you're not under warranty anymore, cheap gauges can be had for ~$50. ...

If you haven't picked up the car, tell him to fix it or the deal is over. I believe pretty much every state has a 3 day right of rescission on an auto contract. Tell him you feel duped, and he will...

$300 is a little high for that work, but not terrible. It could only be their fault if it was leaking at the radiator. That would be the only thing they would have touched with tranny lines hooked...

Hopefully it's a popped hose. Leaks like this usually end up being something minor. The best thing you did was stop when things felt weird.

Assume that the a/c compressor is bad. It might not be, but assume it is. It is fairly easy to pull the motor in these without removing it. Bolting it in and getting it set up isn't hard, but...

It is perfectly normal. Get some sleep. As long as the marks on the PULLEYS all land in the right spot, you're fine. The reason for this is that the belt does not make a full rotation in any whole...

The drain tube is the black tube in that pic. The clear tube is something he has shoved in it. He also has it pulled up. It would normally be facing down.

As long as they aren't too dirty you can just wrap them in bubble wrap and stick a UPS label on it.

I'm not 100% sure on the SH models, but I'm almost positive it will be a rubber hose about 3/4" in diameter pointing down. It will just have an open end. The hose will "disappear" into the firewall...

It's officially mine. It pulls great. The motor feels awesome. The brakes, however, are a little weak. It feels like cheap pads. It needs tires, a transmission, probably a wheel bearing, and the...
