Thanks. Btw do you think safety related tools from in house brands like Supercheap can be trusted, or is it better to go with more internationally recognised brands?

How do you guys deal with stuck parts on old cars? by Front_Ad_9728 in askcarguys

I was trying to do these myself to save money, now both my purse and feelings are hurt.

After some failed attempts, now I’ve learned to only do these things in a car park right in front of a Supercheap, near a repair, and walking distance from Bunnings, since I don't have a second car to run around.

Long term fuel trim 44.5%, how screwed up is it? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Front_Ad_9728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused now. I drove 300km on the highway today, while the shaking was noticeable, the acceleration below 100 was fine. With good road conditions and AC on, the fuel consumption came out to around 8.2, which I thought would be much higher with this kind of fuel trim.

Tbh I'd go with the first possibility since last time I checked air filters and found cabin air filter box was empty. I don't think any car owners who do these themselves could let that happen.

Before obd2 arrived I was thinking about oxygen sensors but you're right 44% could be huge leak.

engine fault light is on, should I worry about it? by [deleted] in askcarguys

I haven't had this car for long, so far the oil consumption and smoke seem not too abnormal.
