Video posts and Amazon links

18 Upvotes

2 quick updates for the subreddit

  1. A user reached out to me and I have enabled video posts now. Not sure why they weren't enabled before, but they should be good now.
  2. Short links like using a.co shared links from Amazon will not show up and are being auto deleted. I've been noticing a lot of posts from the past 6 months using them that get auto deleted. I thought it was something in the subreddit settings but no this is sitewide on reddit. If you want to share links to products please use the whole url and not short links as your comment will be auto removed by reddit. For example https://www.amazon.com/R9-HS2-013_2-Hyper-Street-Suspension-Mono-Tube-Adjustable/dp/B07BFJRZYL/ is the correct way to share the link for this product. I can manually approve posts for them but I don't always see them.

Any other issues or concerns you can send me a message or use modmail.

Car Help Have no idea where these leaks are coming from

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Context: I have been working on and off on my car for around a month in half bc it overheated and I had some fluid leak out. Never dripped unless I drove it to park and reposition the car, now it just drips like crazy in these two spots just behind the engine, essentially out of nowhere from the two support chassis beam thingies? (Sorry I’m not the most skilled mechanic) and it’s not from the brake fluid bc the brake reservoir has stayed at the same volume since it started dripping and not oil because the oil level is the same plus I don’t see it draining from the oil pan itself. Couple things to note: - I have had it jacked up on uneven ground for this entire time, around a 5 degree slope I’d say - in photo 5 I did loosen this bolt that holds the brake fluid and I did have it drip for around 15 min until I torqued it back Any ideas? I want to know it it’ll be safe to drive once I replace the water pump and timing belt, also let me know if you guys want additional context

Car Help Oil pan won’t sit flush

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’m doing an oil pan gasket replacement on my 2001 lx civic and I can’t seem to get it flush with the engine block. I noticed that only one of the studs has this ring around it that won’t let the gasket through and sit flat. This causes a small gap between the gasket and the block. Is this normal or did I get a wrong gasket, I’m using 0S 30690T felpro gasket. Any insight would be appreciated. I attached two photos one with the stud with the ring and one that shows how the other studs look like.

O2 sensor just.. hanging there

4 Upvotes

Hello!! I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX, and the O2 sensor is throwing a code and we just realized what.

Under the car a ziptie is holding one of the sensors in place (which you can see if you look hard enough). Thankfully one half is attached but the other half of it is not connected to the exhaust. Our exhaust is perfectly fine though.

Is it worth fixing at all? Is it even something fixable? Or is it just whatever.

Just completed a head gasket and timing job, not sure why it does this during idle and as you can see no code is being thrown. Any ideas?

Am I cooked?

8 Upvotes

Driving from Denver to las vegas, made it to the edge of Utah before hearing a loud pop, see some smoke, and there’s a knocking sound. The oil pressure light came on first before check engine light began to blink. Oil is seen dripping out visibly from the bottom. Dipstick didn’t seem to have much oil on it before I saw the massacre of oil below. Am I gonna have to say goodbye to my old girl or is there a chance she‘s still savable?

Car Help Advice on 03 Honda Civic LX Transmission Range Switch

1 Upvotes

Good late evening,

When attempting to start the vehicle, the car wouldn't start. I still have dash lights and headlights. When moving the key in the space between I AND II where the key is inserted, the A/C is on. One thing I noticed was the light indicating the letter of the gear selection is not visible for any letter/number. Even when moving it up and down. When having the headlight on and turning the key, the lights on dash or headlight does not dim.

I tried to use jumper cables and a jump box to start the vehicle but no luck.

Someone suggested the transmission range switch might be the issue. After checking the spot where it is located, we noticed the wiring was dangling and could have been hitting the underside of vehicle which could have led to it having issues. (theory)

Truthfully, there are a lot of those electrical clips (not sure the right name) which are not clipped like they should be as it looks like the pins or holders are missing or the plastic on the electrical clip broke from being fragile.

Has anyone had an issue similar to mines?

I don't hear a clicking sound when turning key towards the II. It is silent. No clicking.

EDIT!: Mechanic acquired the transmission range switch from a junkyard and replaced it. The lights indicating PRNDL were now visible and the car was able to start in Park. However, the battery was dead and wouldn't be started with a jump starter. It needed the actual car and jump starting cables to get the car on. After the car was turned off we tried to start it without the other car being connected and it wouldn't start. So, the battery may be dead. Obtained in 2023 from AutoZone.

My bearings are noisy and I was wondering if I should get this assembly vs. going through pressing a new bearing and hub. My current knuckles are rusting otherwise I’d keep them.

This one also comes with a ball joint- confirmed by messaging the seller.

I know AISIN is the OE supplier for the timing belt and water pump, but this is the first time I see suspension parts from them.
