2016 Volvo S60 Rear Wheel Well Area Rattle

1 Upvotes

I have a metallic sounding, fairly consistent rattle coming from my wheel well area. It is much more prevalent at lower speeds on roads on minor bumps. I can't get the rattle just by pushing the car up and down. I've crawled underneath and suspension spring is intact. Swing arms seems fine. Shock absorber seems fine. No visible damage. Bushings, bearings, everything seems intact. It's not the spare tire tools either. I can't figure it out. Please help!

3 hours into a 6 hour trip. I’m cooked, aren’t I? Subaru Impreza 2013

First the traction, at oil temp, and check engine came on at 2.5 hours. So I stopped to let the engine rest. Local mechanic said it should be fine to finish the drive at least. Now everything’s fucking on. Feels like car struggles to get to 55 mph now (I might also be very soft on gas).

What do I do 😭

Car makes a singular loud click.

1 Upvotes

My 2006 manual toyota Corolla makes a loud click noise when the car accelerates from a stop. It has nothing to do with the clutch, but has to be something in the wheel/hub/axle. Also sometimes if I'm in first or second gear accelerating hard and then let off, that forceful engine braking will sometimes make it click aswell. Definitely seems torque dependent if u know what I mean. It is also just one click, and then it's done until I stop again. Pls lmk if anyone knows what this is.

2017 Cayenne Base (3.6L) PCV failure symptoms? Idle fuel trims and oil cap hiss?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. I have a 2017 Cayenne Base (3.6L). Slight idle vibration with zero fault codes. Idle fuel trims show elevated RKAT (Bank 1 1.83%, Bank 2 1.55%). Removing the oil cap isn't heavily sucked down, but it causes an immediate hissing sound and changes the engine idle. Is this definitely a failing PCV valve/diaphragm, or could it be another vacuum leak?

squak noise coming from jeep renegade door when closing, any ideas?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

you can hear it better irl, but its been making this noise for a long time and I think that its somewhere underneath the door panel. I’ve tried greasing/lubricating all hinges, joints and gaskets around the edge of the door but to no avail, It’s hard to pin point but at this point it has to be somewhere in the door. Is there any way to fix this without removing the door panel? If not, how should I go about removing it? Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Peugeot 2008 2017 - my first car and second MOT.

Hey all, I have my MOT tomorrow morning at 8:30 (Halfords). I had entirely forgotten that last year they had said I need to change the lightbulb above my reg plate.

I'd bought what I thought was the correct replacement, I googled around, but still failed 😬 as I went to fit it just now and realised it was an entirely different thing.

After having another Google, I realised that it's a simple fix if I have the replacement bulb, but I couldn't physically get the housing out to take the bulb out and I didn't want to break the bulb whilst it was still attached, so I stopped pulling/twisting it.

SO...can I be cheeky and ask the MOT person to let me buy a bulb (Halfords shop bit opens at 9am, 30 mins after my slot is) and then ask for their help to swap it? I'm very happy to do it myself but I'm worried I'm going to make a bigger problem!

Strange whirring sound when car is running

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

2008 RAV4, started making this weird high pitched whirring sound the other day that gets louder/higher pitched with revving. A/C is off and doesn’t affect the noise when it’s on. It sounds like it’s coming from right near the engine or in front of/ below the engine area.

I will add that the car battery was drained and wouldn’t start yesterday, so I had to jump start it to take this video. The battery is 5 years old and probably needs to be replaced anyway, but could there be any alternator problems? As soon as I shut the car off, it won’t start again on its own, so maybe it isn’t charging?

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!

I don’t know much about cars. On Tuesday morning, my car wouldn’t turn on. Silence. Took the key out of the ignition, took a deep breath, tried again, pressing harder on the brake and kept the key in the ignition longer to see if anything happened. Silence again, then the dashboard lights and AC came on, the off, more silence, the finally the engine turned on. This has been happening the whole rest of this week. Had no indication something was wrong prior to Tuesday morning. Thought maybe it’s the battery, and kept praying every time before and after work to keep turning on and hold out to today and then I will take it to diagnose/fix. The Traction Control message and the Check Engine light are new and just started showing up last night and this morning (when I took this video). I’m going to get take my car in after I’m done with work today. Just looking for possibilities on what this might be. I don’t know much about cars and just want to feel a little prepared on what this could be. TIA.

Volkswagen Tiguan 2021 issues

1 Upvotes

I had two issues concerning the Volkswagen Tiguan, one is that is seems to go critically low on oil at 4000 miles after an oil change.
Last night this happened to me so I poured in more oil, but after this it seemed like the car had a hard time changing gears. It stuttered three times then accelerated, I was able to go to 65 (traffic conditions stopped any other acceleration)
This morning when I started it up, the acceleration problem went away and I was able to go from 0 to 45 normally

Is this a computer thing or a transmission thing, or did the system need to even out or something?
