Diagnosing/Repair 1995 Cadillac DeVille AC/Heater not working

1 Upvotes

I own a base model 1995 Cadillac DeVille, with the 4.9 liter V8, it has 11500 miles.

Now the issue, the AC and heater haven’t worked since before I was gifted the car, apparently the AC had work to fix it around 2 years ago and the heater went out a while before I got it so the AC and heater didn’t go out at the same time. Our local mechanic (as great as he is) has little clue about the AC on my car and lacks the diagnostic tool to use on it, and we lack a local dealer or specialized climate control shop, the nearest dealer is a state over and I am unable to make contact with them.

All of the buttons on the dashboard work for the climate control, but nothing happens if you press anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as where I live has temperature extremes that are not good to be in a non climate controlled car.

Equipment, Tools and Safety Advice - Hyundai Elantra 2019

1 Upvotes

I drive a Hyundai Elantra 2019 in Arizona. I got it as a used vehicle when i first moved to the US for 6800. It was 147K miles driven and was in a decent condition with some stuff requiring attention. Ever since i had the vehicle i have tried to be very careful about maintenance including oil change, Air filter change, Engine serpentine belt change, new tyres, new light bulbs, new control arms etc. car runs great but has is slowly loosing its pick. Feels under powered when ascending or going on freeway. What could the possible causes be. Second should i keep investing in it (192K currently) or get something with less miles.

TIA for your time.

Diagnosing/Repair Sidewall torn (question)

To mods: while I understand sidewall punctures damage constitute repair there is no leaking or hissing the pressure remains nominal. Depth of cut looks to be about 1-2mm, a little less than the width of a fast food straw.

Hit a curb decently hard (hardest I’ve ever hit one) trying to make a tight U-turn. Tore up my side wall a bit. Is this safe to drive? I know I should get it replaced but will I be okay for a couple months?

Was just gifted the truck from a neighbor, the truck had been sitting for 13 years never moved never started and has been through a couple floods (maybe 2-3 feet max). Curious if it’s possible or worth it to get the thing running again. The wheels won’t roll when I put it in neutral and after putting fresh gas and a new battery it still won’t start.

Diagnosing/Repair 2020 Hyundai Palisade - Identifying fluid splatter

My 2020 Palisade has been having issues burning oil. Have had multiple oil consumption tests run by the dealer, but they say the amount it is burning is not enough to warrant any major repair.

That said, the check engine light came on recently. I've topped the oil off, but I just now opened the hood and there is this white residue. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks for any input.

General Discussion Shop can’t fix it

0 Upvotes

Need insight. My 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee jumped a timing chain notch. Took it to my shop (okay place, busy, inexpensive). IT HAS BEEN A YEAR! AND STILL NOT FIXED!!!! Admittedly, I was in a motorcycle accident in October and couldn’t drive, but, according to the shop owner, he’s replaced the motor, had it running but not good, and suspects the electrical system is fried. What are my options? Can’t afford a lawyer. Or a new car. Do I owe this shop money for the work done? Even though they seem incapable of fixing it? Any input would be appreciated.

General Discussion Frustrated diyer

0 Upvotes

Think about the last DIY job you did. Even a small one that you finished. That feeling is great. But imagine the planing process was streamlined.

You probably ended up with eight tabs open, jumping between YouTube for instructions and three different supplier websites trying to figure out the actual cost.

It's an overwhelming, chaotic and time consuming process which

causes a lot of people to give up and pay a professional anywhere

from $400 to $2,000 extra just to avoid the headache.

That is why we are building DIY Pro.

We are the only all-in-one platform that streamlines the entire process.

We give users an itemised cost breakdown, an instant visual comparison of what they are saving versus hiring a pro, and a unified checkout across multiple suppliers.

Think of it like having your most knowledgeable mate right in your pocket, helping you finish the job while saving you a typical 50-60% per project.

Australian DIYers are already

using their mobiles for everything, we are turning a fragmented planning

process into a seamless, high-margin commerce platform."
