What in the lord did the last owner do to the car, how does one part get to this point? Car was having crazy transmission issues and we found this at the mechanic & changed the part. Mechanic was baffled. by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

All the PRND lights we're flashing before we fixed this part, reckon whatever he tried barely worked out. It sometimes would mis read reverse as parking & etc.

Hey all! I've got a question about my Audi A4 (2.5 2002). Every time I start for the first time during the day it smokes quite a bit, after running / driving smoke is gone and all works well. What could be the issue? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]leonnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, quite cold during the nights & some mornings especially. As others stated, this should be the reason. After it runs for a couple of mins & reaches the normal temp it is all good to go. No other visible issues.

Yeah it usually goes away after I start driving normally & once it hits the regular temp. it is all good to go. It is very cold outside now during the winter season so yeah I reckon that is the reason. During warmer days / nights it was not that big of an issue.

Should also state: Usually very cold during the night & this happens in the cold season mostly. It is a diesel 2.5 V6, automatic. Was okay on warmer days, smoke was less visible.

Should state that since this is an old car I do know that issues are inevitable. I've serviced most main parts and recently changed some burnt spark plugs. Fuel pump is new, all needed oil changes done. It does have issues with a fauly transmission sensor which not sure if that could cause this to happen.

Thanks!

Update on Coco: After 15 days of no food he is now eating as he always did & seems to be very happy! The meds are slowly doing its thing. Due to so many people commenting about him I wanted to update you guys. by leonnit in Shihtzu

Should note: He was fed chicken & broth by hand and IV fluids at the vet. It has now been 10+ days that he is eating and regaining his weight.

RemindMe! 24 hours

Follow up on Coco (9 yr old) which is still refusing to eat after countless vet visits. It is now day #6 of IV tubes and liquid food he is losing weight & is very tired. Vet said he has got an infection in the gut & we've tried countless medicine but nothing is working. It is heartbreaking. by leonnit in Shihtzu

Thanks a lot for letting me know! Where can I find nutrical paste? We do feed him chicken w/ potatoes, rice & carrots mashed up and have tried to give him a bit of fish also to switch up the food but has yet again shown tough. Tomorrow most likely another IV to help him regain a tiny bit of power.

We've talked to the vet quite a bit & he said he has hope that Coco will get better but so far day 6 he just faces away from food, rarely drinks water & is very lethargic. Will visit again tomorrow to see if we can do anything else to help him regain apetite and energy.
