I know we are spending someone else's money but parts are (probably) cheap and considering they are the one thing preventing you and others dying...

Endless Mike posted:Hey guys, I know there used to be a Toyoburu thread, but I can't find it, so this'll have to go here. I took my 2013 FR-S manual with 26k miles into my local dealer for the valve spring recall. With the engine out, they have also suggested the following: Granted I'm not up on this recall but figured they drop it all so why even break it apart to look at the clutch unless it has an inspection cover.

Enos Cabell posted:My younger brother bought a 2013 Chevy Traverse LT w/ 100k miles 6 months ago at a local dealership, not a CPO vehicle and no warranty. He owes 11.5k on it now, which is roughly what it would sell for private party around here in good condition, which it is decidedly not after the engine blew up on the interstate the other day. Quotes have come in and he's looking at 6.5-7k in repairs now. What the gently caress do you even do in this situation? Going 7k upside down in a vehicle that has already grenaded once seems insane, but what other viable options are there? He's going to plead his case at the dealership, but neither of us are very optimistic about that. Eat the loss or roll over it into another loan and be deeper than the Titanic. What the hell is the engine BTW? I always get the Traverse and Equinox confused and one or the other normally grenades the engines.

I used a bumper jack on a '72 Olds Delta 88 on a busy state road when I was 16 (and the flat was the one facing the two line highway). I'm still wondering how I'm still alive.

melon cat posted:2007 Corolla. I'm replacing all of the struts this spring. I usually go OEM only, but for ease of installation (and cost) reasons I'm thinking of buying and using a set of Monroe Quick Struts. Are there any known quality/durability issues with Monroe, or are they a pretty good option versus OEM? Ever use strut compressors? Doing the job can kill you in not a good way.

Queen Combat posted:To be fair, if any coils were expected to go, #4 is it. The heater core hose goes right over the top of it, and even though I replaced the heater core hose when I picked it up, it still droops when hot and can actually touch the coil if you're not careful with wire wrapping. So, yeah. It's been baked. Yeah, everytime I get a stumble/check engine I pray to the gods..."Please don't be #4 please don't be #4" but that's on a truck and well your CV is trivial compared to it. But it's funny, the heater hose being the cause.

STR posted:I like Bosch for the solid beam type, personally, but only get about 6 months out of them. Don't ever buy them in a retail store unless you take a bucket of anal lube with you. Use Bosch's website to lookup what wipers you need, then put the part number into Rockauto (do NOT loving trust Rockauto's catalog for wipers, so far it's been wrong every time when I actually look up the proper wiper). Rockauto is insanely cheap for wipers, even with shipping added. Man you aren't kidding and I learned something thanks to you. Just bought a pair of Anco's at Walmart for around $6-7 a piece. On Rock Auto they are listed at around $2 each. But like you said, factor in shipping costs, etc. extra parts. Problem is you can't wait 3-5 days for wiper blades. When they die, you need them now hence the margins. But for the love of god, don't buy them at an auto parts store. Get them from Walmart (and oil, unless crazy deals from the parts places) and know you are only getting fleeced a tad for the convenience. Capitalism at its finest.

STR posted:They don't just "die", though. When they start chattering consistently, or streaking, is when it's time to replace them. You get plenty of warning. Oh they "die" in winter. They like to tear. I'll bore you all with another story. Wife's truck wiper arm would bust free during icy/winter time conditions. No biggie the first time, just basically a 12mm bolt after prying off the cap. Then it happened again. So I thought hey, let's do some loctite (blue) on it. Was fine for a couple years but it busted loose a couple weeks ago.

Is it eating any oil? As long as the oil level is good I'd keep on doing what you are doing. I'll run conventional 5,000-6K or so. A good synthetic...10K. That's just my preference.
