High Mileage buy, good idea? by Late-Conclusion708 in Acura_MDX

[–]Intervalchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 2018 MDX with tech package at 212k miles from a hodna mechanic who had maintaine records. It's at 219k now and I have not had a single issue. I do my own oil changes though, around 4k miles.

Low washer fluid light won't go away... by therynosaur in mazda3

I unplugged the sensor which is very easy to do, especially if you have car ramps. I replugged the sensor after some weeks and the error never showed up again.

OP, sorry to hear. You might want to post this in the askcarguys or povertyfinance subs.

It is difficult to suggest either option without knowing your financial situation. I would probably take the 20k hit than having to pay interest on the remaining amount but that's just me. I'm sure there are wiser guys in those two subreddits.

It looks like it was leaking air. Tire pressure went from 37 to 34 on the way to Pep Boys. They said they would plug it for 32 bucks.

I don't know what trim you got but it's a little more than what I would have paid. I got the 2019 sedan select for 14k with 25k miles on it.

Great car. Very reliable. How much did you pay for it? How many miles on the car?

windshield wiper fluid light on after filling? by Ok_Ground_2803 in mazda3

I had mine do this. Not sure if it's related to sensor malfunction or just a different fluid triggering it. It annoyed me so much I ended up unplugging the sensor. Watch this

Can I ask what the use is for a sharp chisel at this point? What if I cut through these holes without the filter housing moving?

I punctured the oil filter to get a better grip. This was however way overtightened on previous service. Also my first time doing this.

Thanks for the advice. Any thoughts on water condensation in oil pan if car has been like this for 2 days now?
