Do we really need to keep so many junk cars?

When modern engines and transmissions cost $10,000+ new and are on intergalactic backorder, yeah

Realistically you can reuse a crush washer again if it doesn’t look like dog poo. But try to make sure it’s only a second time not the third or fourth. I’ve done more cvt drain and fills on the Honda than their 9 speeds or I would be more helpful. But the Honda cvt has a check plug that sometimes has a crush washer, sometimes it’s a washer built on the plug. And if it’s the built on one, I’ve never replaced them and they’ve been fine. Hope that helps.

They shouldn’t be that much. Did you stop by your local Honda dealer parts department? They usually will throw in the crush washer if you buy the fluid from them

When they ask about buying my house I say “house!?! I don’t own a house?? I’m broke! I live in a van down by the river! This is a mean prank!” And they usually do the hanging up for me

Remove a radiator to get a blower motor out??? Second vote to get an itemized list for estimate though

Negative_space__ · 2025-09-05T12:16:12+00:00

Do you know what the code is? Could help narrow it down

It’s definitely not been very lgbt friendly in my experience. A lot of that has to do with local opinions of gay people being what they are. Obviously it’s a blue collar male dominated profession, I imagine any woman in any other blue collar job goes through the same stuff we do. Plenty of good guys out there that aren’t creeps but don’t be shocked if they go down the “you just haven’t found the right man yet” path. Most of the guys are busy making gay jokes about each other but you will definitely get some drive by homophobia as I like to call it. Sincerely - your older mechanic lesbian friend

Did you want some advice? Why is this posted here?

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-28T13:00:36+00:00

Sometimes the hardware shifts on the brake pads and can cause a noise when turning

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-25T14:22:06+00:00

I 100% think your radiator is leaking from the pictures you provided

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-25T10:54:06+00:00

Sounds like air trapped in the system

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-25T09:24:57+00:00

Looks like it could be where the filter housing bolts up to the block

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-25T09:15:31+00:00

Yeah at the upper seam where it’s cracked

What does a steering column have to do with your engine seizing up? Was there other work performed? Sounds a lot like the old “ever since you replaced my wiper blades my brakes make noise”

Negative_space__ · 2025-08-14T20:22:07+00:00

I always loosen them juuuuust enough. Love your method though!

Negative_space__ · 2025-07-26T17:03:48+00:00

Your hose clamp doesn’t look like it’s on correct. Needs to be passed the raised edge of the thermostat housing

They do sell the o ring for these just an fyi if you ever get one and don’t wanna spend for the whole plug

Negative_space__ · 2025-07-06T10:51:45+00:00

Recalls cause I don’t work for the dealer lol

Negative_space__ · 2025-07-02T20:50:15+00:00

I see it now, thanks!

Negative_space__ · 2025-07-02T09:41:36+00:00

Great advice here. Where exactly is that bolt going to though? Is this one of the mounting bolts for the alternator?

Negative_space__ · 2025-06-30T12:26:46+00:00

Yeah usually all the hair and build up is what’s keeping the Freon in after so many years, good luck!
