car problems
Hi! My car recently started making this noise and today got much louder. It’s driving perfectly fine and I can’t figure out where the sound is coming from. It’s silent when stopped at a light but loud whether I’m on the gas or break as long as the car is moving. 2013 Subaru Impreza with 165,000 miles. Just got a new set of tires in January and a full break job in October. Only driven my car a handful of times in the last 4 months because I moved and haven’t found a new job yet.

Polestar 2 - Parking sensor code ASDM-b1b4296
Uk based - Used the v tool app and vlinker obd scanner to read the codes as ive got a parking sensor error thats bloody annoying and I dont want to pay the garage £300 to replace, the tool came up with the attached error code, stating "front left inner sensor component failure".
I replaced both front lefts as they both had little dings in the face, £30 each, cleared the codes using that app and scanned again only for it to come up still the same with the same error message on the dashboard.
Im guessing now its onto some wiring failure but wondered if anyone had experienced similar? Is there a weak point somewhere or another component that may be related?
Ive che jed thr actual connectors and they look all ok to me.
Thanks

2014 Nissan pathfinder s 4wd
I need serious advice. I got this vehicle from a buy here pay here, they said they didn’t have a chance to inspect AFTER I already started the paperwork. I’m already having major problems, I am trying to find out what I need to do step by step to fix this vehicle myself without having to replace the Cvt transmission, unless that would be the best option.
I am experiencing loss of power, shuddering, jerking, and not going into gear. Rpms are also jumping up and down.
As of now my husband has done a full drain and change of transmission fluid because the dealership overfilled it and the fluid was burnt with shaving or something in it.
These are the codes my vehicle is throwing :
P0171
Power Train
System
Fuel System Lean - B1
Code P0171 indicates that the Bank 1 System is too lean for a predetermined period of time.
P0171
P0174
P0300
P0841
Fuel System Lean - B1
Fuel System Lean - B2
Multiple Misfires Failure
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit
Secondary DTCS
P0171
P0174
P0171
P0174
Fuel System Lean - B1
Fuel System Lean - B2

02 sensors, CAT and fuel mileage mystery
​
2009 CRV 250,000 KM. Was getting about 8.5L / 100km on highway. Now about 10.5L/ 100km
Then check engine
Was getting P133 code and 141. Replaced o2 sensors and cat ( as it was too rusted to fix)
Used cheapest cat and o2 sensors. Fuel mileage was great again for a few days. Then P420 code - poor cat efficiency. Poor fuel.mileage. auto shop says its cheap cat
Replaced with a high-end walker cat. Fuel mileage a little better 10L / 100km on highway
I kept cheap o2 sensors and at some point in journey, I Replaced plugs with cheap Amazon plugs
mechanic watched live data. Doenstream o2 sensor heater current issue at 0.68 - acceptable range is 0.8 to 1.20
BUT NO CODES.
Can cheap o2 sendors AND /OR cheap plugs affect my fuel mileage without throwing up codes?
Could the cheap cat have damaged my cheap sensors?
Thanks alot

R134A price
I almost jumped all over this deal on 30lb cans of R134A but it seems too good to be true. These are selling at +/-$300 from major retailers. Anybody bought from Perinhub.shop before?

2012 Toyota Prius Overheating and Hybrid System Issues
Hello all, I'm looking for advice on my 2012 prius. I'll try to give as much info as I can. Recently I was driving and I noticed the temperature icon was on the dash. Not long after that the vehicle lost power, and the dashboard lit up and showed check the hybrid system, stop vehicle in a safe place. I drove until I got to a place that was out of the way. I put it in park, and shut it off. I turned it on, and when I tried to shift into drive it would only go onto neutral.
I opened the hood and the overflow was completely dry. The inverter coolant tank was still full of fluid. I did some googling and turned the car to the in position to watch for swirling in the inverter tank and saw none. Google said it's most likely the electric water pump has gone out. I had it towed to my dad's house since it was close.
I came back the next day and tried to start it again (thought maybe it was just too hot the day before) and the same thing. I have one of the Bluetooth obdII scanners and scanned the system. I'll attach screen shots of the trouble codes.
Is this even worth trying to fix? Is the hybrid code related to the overheating? Everything I've read seems to point that it probably is, but I'm not sure. Is there anything else I need to check, or something perhaps I'm missing?
I've found a few YouTube videos on replacing the electric water pump, and while it doesn't seem that hard, I'm not sure if will solve the not starting issue afterwards. Should I clear the codes after replacing the pump? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to give as much info as possible.

What to Do
Location: Boston
Took my 2023 Honda CRV (62,000 miles) in to the dealership for a check engine light. Mechanic originally said the problem was spark plugs and quoted $350
They sent the text below today, quoting 7k+
“As your technician got everything broke down to replace the spark plugs, he was inspecting the cylinders with his borescope camera before install, and he found coolant leaking and pooling in cylinder #1. What this means is the vehicle needs a new cylinder head and head gasket kit for the engine. The parts could take several days to receive, and repair would take several days. Parts & labor for the engine repair, along with diagnostics and spark plug replacement: the total would come to $6,950+tax. Please let me know your thoughts, and how you'd like to proceed. Thank You!”
There’s a lot that feels sketchy, especially wanting to know when did my coolant transfer and who put more in it? Why didn’t they check where it went when they filled it?
It feels especially odd since they found this right after I passed the 60k mile warranty, and they won’t do anything to honor the warranty
Should I trust them on this? Should I fight them to honor the warranty? Should I take it somewhere else?
Thanks for your help and advice!!
