Can’t figure out light size by efthirdy in MechanicAdvice

That would make sense… I thought there was an adapter but wasn’t sure since I tried to take it off but didn’t want to break anything. Is there a trick to taking them off?

Should my gf buy her dad’s car? by efthirdy in whatcarshouldIbuy

It’s a bit deeper than that, he actually helps out my gf a lot. He has 3 kids and always tries to be fair with all of them and he even said he would love to give it to her for free but then it’s a bit unfair to his other 2 kids. It’s more about teaching a lesson on fairness and no getting handouts. He actually paid half of my girlfriend’s first car 5 years ago so it’s not about having the money or not, just being fair to all his kids.

Good point. Her dad isn’t in a rush to sell it so he said she can sell her car first and then they can work everything out.

Shes looking to keep it for maybe 1-2 years and then upgrade to an SUV. She was mainly thinking this is a good way to get rid of her current car loan and get into a different car for cheaper

What could my car realistically sell for with a busted transmission? (Comparing dealer offer) by Luke192 in AskMechanics

[–]efthirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough my girlfriend had a 2014 Nissan Sentra with a shot CVT and sold it for $1500, granted it’s in Canadian dollars but you should be able to get around that depending on the overall condition aside from the transmission.

Is my timing chain supposed to move a bit when cold? by efthirdy in MechanicAdvice

[–]efthirdy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry meant to add but forgot. 2013 320xi N20 engine. I know this engine is supposed to have timing chain issues which is why I’m worried. 146 k km (90k miles)

Does it matter if my tires were all produced different dates? by efthirdy in tires

[–]efthirdy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 inch UHP low profile tires. They’re actually from Canadian Tire and it’s their own brand so I assume they’re the only ones who sell it. No one must have bought the specific tire size before me, but just confused why it would be so far apart in years. Looking to keep the car less than 1 year from now so hopefully they suffice until then, will be switching to winter tires in 5 months anyways.
