How hard would it be for someone with very little experience in cars to change a starter. I've done quite a bit of research into my make and model. I've bought the correct starter, and now I need to put it in or have a pro do it

#

I've also know I need to take out the intake, and throttle body to be able to reach it, and then it's only 2 bolts.

Does it really matter if a car has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

@civic spoke Ford hasn't been doing well from what I heard

civic spoke
#

They seem to be doing fine? Or are you talking about the cut North America is doing of the sedans?

frosty geyser
#

Yeah I'm talking about the cut in the Sedans

#

I'm looking to get the 2015 Honda Civic or the 2015 Toyota Corolla S as my first car since I want a Japanese car and they are awesome cars

civic spoke
#

North America cutting down on the sedans has nothing to do with Ford not doing well.

#

It's all the fact that crossovers, SUV's and trucks sell a lot more than sedans.

rose dagger
#

Is that for Ford, Chevy, and GMC though? Because I see a lot more new VW, Toyota, and Honda sedans than American sedans. I don't think it's a market issue as much as it is that consumers don't care for American sedans for whatever reason(s).

Inb4 Toyota stops selling the Corolla in America unless it's a "crossover" like the focus is going to be

#

I don't think so. I think they're just focusing on financial growth. If a car doesn't sell well, why sell it in a country where it doesn't sell well at all?

#

With the exception of halo models

rose dagger
#

Ford is certainly dying when it comes to sedans, their trucks still sell well though. It's just tough to beat the Honda, Toyota, and VW sedan lineup.

Their cars are behind in reputability, speed, and MPG.

mk6 dct

rose dagger
#

@primal panther Depends on the price really. If you'd be happy with a TDI Golf/Passat/CC/Jetta, just go that route and enjoy the great fuel economy. If you want speed, you can't go wrong with the GTI, though the CC isn't a slouch either.

#

The GTI will probably hold value a lot better though (may even appreciate value depending on how long you keep it) though the TDIs are the same way.

warm sparrow
#

@simple basalt my car had like 294 000Km (about 182683 miles) so i don't know if the clutch had ever been replaced before but it was just worn

#

and in the end it was reaaaally fucked up

simple basalt

wait did you get it used or new

cause if used

warm sparrow

i bought the car with like 284000 km

simple basalt

yeah then the previous owned seemed to abuse it

since

#

it's semi hard to break a clutch wihtout abusing it

and the clutch was already a bit hard but you know it was ok (and it's my first car so i was a car noob)

eh, when a car has done 300 000km it's normal ...

#

like did you press the clutch really hard

#

like you press it on a tractor

or

#

no it was a bit hard but usable

#

but i told you, i've been into a trafic jam and my clutch melt down xD

maybe i was a bit to hard with it

or this.

https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ctd/d/2014-volkswagen-touareg-v6/6582180439.html

Both have AWD, but true 4WD will of course be better if you need it. Personally, I'd take MPG over 4WD or AWD, but that's up to you. Either way though, the Grand Cherokee and the two models I posted will all be good rides.

simple basalt
#

just get a Ford raptor and be happy lol

rose dagger
#

@simple basalt Not sure if totally joking, but it most people who get trucks need the space of the SUV, not the space of the flatbed. And on top of that, the MPG on the Raptor is dreadful. It's worse than a 1993 Grand Cherokee in that regard.

simple basalt
#

Then umm

#

I know

#

Acctually I don't

runic trout
#

@rose dagger ty. the cherokee i looked at from a dealer near meme is the same price as a new 2018 Camry SE, would that be a better option?

rose dagger
#

@runic trout The Camry SE is a good buy, Toyota is pretty damn good regardless of model and year. If you want to spend $30k on a vehicle aiming for dependability and good MPG, that's a great choice. Personally, I'd use the money elsewhere and buy something like a 2012 Passat TDI SE for about a third of the price. If that's your target price range though, it's certainly nice to be the only owner of a car and the new Camry is damn sexy.

runic trout
#

@rose dagger yeah toyota is pretty reliable, my parents are all for getting me a toyota, if i do choose a camry ill probably get an older model to save some money

carmine summit
#

Volkswagen diesel

rose dagger
#

@runic trout If you get anything older than the 2018 Camry, get a VW diesel (TDI) instead. The MPG of the <2018 isn't as good. You could also look at the 2012+ Honda Civic lineup. Those get 40+mpg

#

The 2003-2010 VW TDI's can get 55mpg if you have the manual transmission though. They're legendary amongst "hyper-milers"

I did my starter myself just because no shop would. Because I bought the part

Thoughts on what the 2019 Mk.8 Golf R will be like, looking at its competitors which are pushing up to 400hp I'd guess it'll be around that mark as well, along with some form of hybrid technology, and I think that is mental in a golf, but in the pursuit of much more power than the current gen, could we see a VR6 once more, or would the hybrid technology means that they could stick to the 4 pot

3rd and 4th gear ratios permanently damaged, fault immediatly after shifting, and something wrong with my transmission control module.

i see

agile sonnet
#

Most shops won't install parts that you provide.

#

Also, if you can change a starter, you can do a transmission. YouTube is your friend, get a friend to help (necessary for dealing with the torque converter bolts), and from there you just need a jack and a piece of wood to deal with the transmission. Overly simplified, but if you're mechanically inclined enough to do a starter, you really can do a transmission, despite it seeming scary and very different.

Starter in my car is difficult, it's pretty much in the engine, had to take out the intake and throttle body. It was like 8 bolts.

@calm mesa GTE, VW's interior is nicer, and a backup gasoline engine is really nice to have. You can't take the Tesla on a roadtrip, the Golf can do what the Tesla can't. The Tesla is more expensive too. Especially after all of the basically mandatory upgrades. And if you like having some control of your car, the Golf GTE has a triptronic transmission, the Tesla is all automatic.

My saab story:
(all money amounts are USD)
Got this car for $3000 on December 2017 it's a 1998 Saab 900 turbo SE

It was nice but leaked a little bit of oil turns out it was a bad valve cover gasket so I changed it.

I crashed it 1 month after owning it in Jan of 2018... that why I have a silver bumper on a white car.

Repairs from the crash mostly done by myself then looked over by a saab experts shop when I had it serviced just to make sure my work was good and I got commended on my good work.

Replaced a screen on the interior and the radio antenna and replaced some bulbs that were burnt out.

Fast forward a couple months nothing new happens until I hit the brakes and my car starts shaking like crazy and it wouldnt stop, had to pull the hand brake to stop it and I slowly limped the car back home.

Turns out all 4 of my brake rotors had been warped due to the previous owner turning them on a lathe and making them way too thin. So I had to replace all 4 rotors and pads which I did myself.

Was browsing the Facebook marketplace and someone had posted these Original Saab OEM roof racks for about $70 I instantly jumped on it and got them and they snapped right on.

This is the car now after it's been washed.

Tell me your Saab story.

When running WVO it's far better to run a dual tank setup, and to heat the oil before it goes into the engine. Heating it thins it, and before you shut it off you run it on diesel so the oil doesn't congeal in the injection system.

The other is an '05 Passat wagon 162k miles, auto transmission. They're about the same price, I know the Golf would have better fuel efficiency, but I'm driving a 2004 Passat 1.8T right now and I do love the space of it. Are the TDI autos from that year/generation bad? Or will they last until I sell the thing in two or three years?

I don't want a new engine for this

#

400cc is plenty for me.

#

I don't want to race and I don't think I really need more power.

My bike is 1200cc. Plenty of power to spare.

#

@hardy osprey 400cc is plenty for me too. And its always fun to ride a slow ride fast than a fast ride slow. For that very reason i have a 150cc too lol

I finished putting my project car back together. New motor, new transmission, exhaust work (so it's quiet).
But there's almost no insulation inside the vehicle so it's loud and rumbley. I don't mind the "gutted out" feel. Takes me back to my teenage days of modding cars. But I'm older and got that whole family thing now.
I'm planning on pulling up the old carpeting and the door panels to lay down some spray on insulator. I'm also thinking about using some thin carpet padding or ac duct sealer (not duct tape) on top of the spray.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with insulation regardless of project type. What what's best in your opinion? Any specific brand of spray or padding?
Thanks

Anyone know what would be causing the low side of an A/C loop to only get down to around 60PSI with the system running at full blast? (Over 100PSI while the system is off. Not blowing cold air. Temperature is set to as low as it'll go on the climate control. 2006 Ford Freestyle)

#

Idk but if its anything like a Ford Crown Vic's HVAC system, its usually something stupid. Try looking on owner forums.

Sounds like it could be a control valve in the compressor, gotta do some more testing to make sure though

So, I wanna buy a craiglist trans am and I will have the money soon to do so. The problem is the guy is listing it with no title which is illegal in my state. My sister told me to run away with a hint of nope since the guy is only asking for 1000 and it is running as to her that sounds stolen and shady as fuck. What I was thinking of doing was contacting the guy and explaining okay, but only if you can get a duplicate title and properly do the paperwork with me. Which should I do?

oops

#

but what do you guys think about the Z3's suitability for a first car

(it's got the 1.9 engine)

i'm 16 years old and i've been working on restoring both of these

e46 is obviously the best 0.0

i mean i would've loved an M3 but I don't have 10 grand laying around

@turbid karma Make sure you get paperwork. No paperwork no deal. Try googling the VIN number and see if anything comes up.

turbid karma
#

ok

turbid karma
#

okay, this is getting shady he went down to 750 from 1000 on a working transam. I think I might tell him no at this point it sounds stolen

void quartz
#

you could always see if there is a reward for turning him and the car in 0.0

@turbid karma that thing looks like it has been sitting there for a while

turbid karma
#

It has, but with the parts even if sitting seems to be worth quite bit more than that. The only issue, known is the fuel tank and they're not that expensive to replace. If it's in the exact condition he's claiming I think that car can go for like 10 grand plus. The 2 red flags are the lacking title and how much he dropped it already. In my state I don't think you can sell a car without a title.

#

I mean it needs a paint job too, though

vital glen
#

it needs a lot more than a paintjob and fucking fuel tank

#

thank god it is isn't unibody

turbid karma
#

what else does it need?

vital glen
#

did you see the interior?

turbid karma
#

not a car person, so enlight me.

vital glen
#

well either new seats, or fix the leather

turbid karma
#

I mean I can do that later I thought you meant something to make it run

#

honestly, I'm thinking of bailing on it completely cuz of how shady he is with the other shit

vital glen
#

Did you call V. up?

turbid karma
#

he's in another county, but I'm debating on messaging him first.

vital glen
#

I googled the phone number

turbid karma
#

ya, so did I the problem with those sites is they don't always list the accurate/ up to date number.

vital glen
#

yeah I know

#

still funny

#

the undercarriage is going to be rusted the fuck out

turbid karma
#

I mean I'm just going to get a less fucked and shady firebird next year rather than deal with this guy. You can get them that low in my state cuz they were popular here, and people just want them gone.

vital glen
#

you can stop saying my state

#

my odd shaped holding place

vital glen
#

you mean place that was once crab central but now we are crab are too expensive to eat every weekend

turbid karma
#

and we put old bay on everything and drink natty

vital glen
#

at least old bay is cheap

turbid karma
#

ya know, I kinda like the body on a 90s firebird they don't look too bad and I can get one for like 700 bucks right now it just needs a motor and cleaning, but not sure how much a motor would cost.

vital glen
#

@turbid karma Well I mean
350's, a shitty one, only a couple grand

turbid karma
#

im only looking to spend 2 grand at most

vital glen
#

I would buy it rn if I had the cash

turbid karma
#

we have a lot of old people here who don't know what they're selling

vital glen
#

ikr

turbid karma
#

why is it so hard to find a motor price, or when I search for a motor it only brings up fucking window motors?

vital glen
turbid karma
#

should I try engine instead?

vital glen
#

yeah

turbid karma
#

so, apparently the replacement engine or "motor" would cost 2 grand almost that's why they're selling it low lol

vital glen
turbid karma
#

is that a hatchback XD
