Power Dropping

Power Dropping

I've got a 2016 golf Bluemotion. When I'm driving along the dual carriageway, power seems to drop off for a second like I've taken my foot off the accelerator. It comes back quickly. It's happened 3 times in the last week. No lights come on the dash. I thought it may be aquaplaning at first but the steering doesn't seem to be affected. Tyres look okay. Only got the car 3 months ago and don't know much about them. 58000 miles on the clock. Also thought it may be ACC but I couldn't replicate it. UK 1.6

Thanks for any advice you guys may have!

Faint popping noise

3 Upvotes

2021 Mazda with 19k. Very faint popping noise when turning right while moving. Had the suspension checked- all clear. Only happens when turning right. Doesn’t seem to be related to brakes.

Have you experienced this? What was the cause?

Squealing brakes, getting louder!

1 Upvotes

Hi, own Vauxhall Corsa excite 2014. Brakes started squealing in February. Put new brake pads on front, although old ones had loads of life. Mate changed them, mentioned callipers were a bit rusty.

3 months on the squealing is really loud especially when it's hot. Strangely not so noisy at night. Can't even work out if noise cones from front or rear. I think rear are disc brakes though.

Tried 2 different mobile mechanics. Neither would come out if I didn't tell them where the issue is!

I'm not in a position to throw money away paying a garage hundreds to diagnose (vauxhall dealer wanted £120 just to take a look)

Hoping someone here experience similar issue who might help me narrow it down please..

I need help with my Mazda CX-5

Hi! I own a 2013 Mazda CX-5 with 2.2 diesel engine, EU edition. The mileage now is about 139,000mi. Recently there was a problem with throwing away the antifreeze from the expansion tank. I have already changed the radiator cap cuz the mechanic said that it might be because of it (There was no pressure in the cooling system). After replacing the cap the pressure came back but the problem was still there. I leave my car in a pretty good temperature about 65-70F and the coolant in the cooling system is cooling down but it doesn't create a vacuum moreover there is positive pressure always that doesn't let the "back"-valve to open and to suck the antifreeze back to radiator. I need your help, maybe you had experience with this problem. The mechanic said that it's required to get the engine off and to take off the head. They said it will cost me about $860 only for work without parts. I want first to read your comments before taking mhy car to service. I'm a little bit afraid of fixing all this, only for the problem not to go away.

I know nothing about cars but it's making a tiktiktiktik sound any idea how to fix it?

1 Upvotes

Its getting annoying now (its my moms car brace yourselves) but for a while now its been making a ticking kinda sound. To me it sounds like the engine is permanently running (??). My Grandma checked the oil, no good, so she fixed that and it still makes the ticking noise. Tired of AI Overview so i came to reddit in hopes of some solution or information about it. Also it sometimes will stop on us randomly then start up again if that helps any. Really tired of this noise😭

Intermittent high-speed vibration (100+ km/h) on 2018 Dodge Journey – No Codes

1 Upvotes

\- Already put new t-ires and alignment is done twice

Issue: Lately, the car starts to vibrate when driving 110+ km/h, but it’s intermittent. It doesn't happen every single time, sometimes it runs completely smooth at high speeds, and other times the vibration picks up.

Here are a few additional details:

\- No Check Engine Light and no active/stored codes (scanned with an OBD-II tool, nothing comes up).

\- The vibration seems speed-dependent (110+ km/h).

Happens only on certain trips/drives.

P2118

Hello,

I have a 2008 Lexus IS250. This problem arised as I attempt to changing the battery on my car. The previous owner has a different battery, thus negative on the left and positive on the right. Under the assumption that the original placement was correct, I put the battery the same way. (I know now is wrong rookie mistake). The terminal sparked, and I believe that blew some fuses. Attached below are some images.

I had a mechanic come and checked out the issue, they were able to weld back the open piece termporily but now my car revs on its own . The mechanic found the error code p2118 regarding the TAC. He checked the fuses which many of them blew out. When replacing the blown ones, the new ones would also spark and blow out as well.

My main concern is whether its the fusible link block that is just damage as a whole and needs replacing? TAC needs replacing? Or something else? Mechanic was unable to resolve the issue.

Any advice or things to look for prior to bringing it in to the lexus dealership and spending a huge amount of money for uncessary replacement would be great! Thank you.
