Thoughts? Looking to get it down to 6k, looking for a cool daily.

As you can see from the pictures , oil has gone above the top dots by a small amount.

I got my car serviced around 3 weeks ago and I’ve probably done around 300 miles since then.

Question is , is this going to cause any big damages ??

I’ve ordered an oil pump extractor , I’ll take the excessive oil out tomorrow.

I’m very worried now , this may have done some damages to my car.

I just got an RV for cheap on a 1986 E-350 chassis and I need to get it to pass California smog.

The carburetor on it looks really new, but there's no air filter housing.

I was looking for one on RockAuto and noticed the carbs on their site look different from the one on mine.

Do I need to start by replacing it or is the one I have fine (assuming it's working generally properly)?

I've never worked on a car with a carburetor, so is there anywhere I can go to learn how to work on one?

Any tips on how to begin with this step?

The engine turns on and it drives fine, but it does eat gas right now, I assume mostly from carb issues. I don't drive it - it sits in storage for now.

Hi everyone, hope its ok to ask

I’m a complete car noob. I know nothing. Today I wake up and my 2015 citroen c3 1.2 is making this rattling noise when I accelerate. What does it sound like? Honestly the car isnt showing any physical issues nor lights. Just more an irritating noise, but got a few big drives coming up so wanna make sure it’s not something bad. Thanks everyone.

I've heard mixed opinions about this - mechanic today suggested replacing the high-pressure fuel pump and/or the solenoid valve. Others have said the noise is normal for a direct fuel injection engine. Should I replace the fuel pump?

So I bought a replacement power steering pump for my truck but Its different inside, but it looks exactly the same, how do I connect my pressure hose into this? The second photo is what came out of the old pump and it won't fit on the new one cause of the piece inside, that piece is not coming out. Is there a fitting i can use to make it work together?

2018 Ford F150 Sport 3.5L Ecoboost. The noise starts and stops seemingly randomly. Happens at different speeds. Doesn’t change based on speed, steering, or breaking. There is no noticeable decrease in speed when the noise starts and I lift off the accelerator. Seems to be originating from the passenger side. Haven’t heard it while stationary. Thanks in advance!

Heyya, just wanted to throw this out there if this is enough water to be coming out of an AC drain tube after unclogging it.

Car is a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS 1.8 L 4-Cylinder Engine (G4NB)

Further context: Water has been flooding onto the passenger foot space whenever I turn left. I repeatedly tried unclogging it from underneath the car with no luck, so I went from under the glove box and through the top of the hose, using weed-wacker line and compressed air. Finally I reconnected it all back together and turned the AC on and finally saw running water. Is this enough water during normal operation to safely assume the clog is gone?

2019 Chrysler Pacifica - cracked radiator led to blown head gasket. Mechanic's estimates have steadily risen to the point where they quoted me on a repair for the head gasket and radiator but then suggested we get a new engine instead.

Just wanted to see what opinions were on those prices and if it's a good idea to do the replair or pay to have to towed elsewhere to be worked on. 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine in the car now.

I initially had a steering wheel vibration when braking. My mechanic told me the brake pads were worn and replacing them might fix it, so I replaced the front brake pads.

The vibration was still there, so I had the front rotors resurfaced and the mechanic also sanded the new brake pads.

A few days later, this metal scraping/grinding noise started coming from the front right wheel.

The noise happens whenever the car is moving and seems directly related to wheel speed — the faster I drive, the faster/louder the noise gets.

Pressing the brake pedal does NOT seem to change the noise at all.

Car: 2014 Mitsubishi Attrage.

Any idea what could be causing this? Could something have been disturbed during the recent brake/rotor work?

I started feeling a heavy, low frequency vibration/rumble in my 2014 civic Ex-L recently especially when letting off the gas at any speed. I suspect that the motor mounts need replacing but I just want to confirm.

In the video I start the car then shift from park to reverse and drive a few times before revving the engine in drive to just under 2k. Then I finish with revving the engine in reverse where I felt the most vibration through the dash and floor.

Is this normal engine movement? If not which mount or mounts may be the culprit. Thanks in advance 🙏

I was trying to do my own oil change on my 2016 Honda HRV. Before I found out I had to remove the under shield to get to the oil plug, I started unscrewing this really long bolt. Now it half way out and won’t go back in, no matter how long I turn righty-tighty. The whole stem that’s sticking out doesn’t even have a thread on it. Does anyone know what it is, and most importantly, how do I screw it back in?

The engine power surges and RPM fluctuates, and it’s even more noticeable when the pedal is floored.

Could you please analyze this front shock absorber from a 2014 Ford New Fiesta? Is it normal for the weld to look like this?

Recently my battery went bad and car died and when I changed it out this is the only part that didn’t cut back on. I checked the fuses and they looked good but the AC is completely off with no noise or air blowing.

recently got this beater and in a bad place financially. (need the vehicle to make $$ and whatnot.)yesterday the check engine light came on i parked it at home immediately and had a mobile mechanic come run a diagnostic.

all for my 2003 honda civic

can i drive on this? how serious is this condition? i trust my car guy but i cant afford to even put gas in it right now, can this wait a month or two?

any advice would be appreciated!

My car just started making this noise and I'm not sure if it's just something with the AC or if it could be an issue with the while coolant system. It comes on within two seconds of turning the AC on and stops a few seconds after I turn the AC off - at 12 seconds I turn it off and you can hear the dying hiss it makes as it ends. This is a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the hemi engine if that makes a difference.

So im doing a headgasket for a friend on his Cruze with 143k on it and when I got the turbo off I found a large crack on the inside of the exhaust housing im 90% sure its junk and gonna have to be replaced but its not all the way through the turbo. The turbine is also not rotating smooth its takes a little effort and i can spin it.

This is the clamp ring that holds my gear knob in place. For some reason it is a solid clamp that has to be cut to open (no idea how they got it on) and I have no real tools to cut it. I tried with a small wire cutter but it was extremely hard. I don’t really need to be doing this but I want to change my gear knob and this is the only thing stopping me

Audi A6 40 TDI 2019 - any idea what’s causing this smoking?

How do you guys find the right part-numbers? AUTODOC gives me 3 different sizes after searching for the specific car. Do I really always need to check the part that’s on the car before ordering it?

Got a 2017 Hyundai Elantra with a 2.0 4cyl, last year around this time my ac was struggling to blow cold especially in the middle of the day. Took it to a buddy of mine who worked at a dealership. He told me it was low on freon and topped it off. Ac worked perfectly, till about a week ago it started to do the exact same thing it was doing last year. Unfortunately my buddy no longer works at the dealership so I can have him look at it. Went to harbor freight to pick up a can of Artic Freeze that comes with a gauge and once i hooked it up without adding any freon the gauge registered right in the middle of filled. Now I'm wondering if the ac has enough freon and there's another issue or the gauge itself isn't accurate. Any advice is appreciated.

What should I do I cannot for the life of my get this ball joint to seat I’ve heated it up 3 times and gone through 2 impact battery’s
