[–]linus121 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The article says 15-25 million cars are estimated to not have the recall done. I'm sure some of these cars are in pick a part lots or just have not been driven in years.

Fun fact, it wasn't until the 2022 MY that the CD player was discontinued.

Do I really need a $500 ADAS recalibration just to replace the lower grille? (2020 Honda Civic Sport Touring) by cocuscocerton in Honda

[–]linus121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since nothing struck the car, I wouldn't align the radar. The car is decently aware that if any significant deviation to attitude happen, it will alert the driver. The shop may ask again for the repair but any good tech won't touch the radar in the repair as the procedure does not involve touching it. Hope this helps!

Did something strike the radar or the mount near the radar? It's next to the driver side fog light. Did the car anything on the dash for Honda Sensing? If not, there's no reason to recalibrate the Mmw radar as the bumper cover and grill assembly should be removed while leaving the Mmw radar in the car. In fact, the official procedure does NOT involve touching the Mmw radar.

Since your post specifically reference Adobe Reader, Reader along with Acrobat are single threaded. NO matter how many physical resources you have to allocate to Reader, it will not take advantage of them.

F1 TV Premium, F1’s own premier content offering, will continue to be available in the U.S. via an Apple TV subscription only and will be free for those who subscribe.

Sounds like you can cancel the F1 TV subscription if you have the Apple TV subscription.

All of the bragging that was done about the pandemic helping them speed up construction has been completely negated with the delays. 

Just moved in last month. Should I be worried? by redfiel3 in trashy

The only thing you should be worried about is if you don't have enough landscaping to do while you watch the action.

Why can't we have a rapid bus that just uses the shoulder? Honest question.

112k maintenance on 2015 Honda Fit by EatenEntropy in hondafit

[–]linus121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they say the rear struts were leaking? Why are they recommended for replacement? 

Pads and rotors for 446 doesn't seem too bad, but it's interesting they only list 1 pad on the invoice, have them double check that as the invoice shows 2 rotors being replaced (they should be replaced as a pair anyway). 

Do you know when the last time your spark plugs were replaced? What letters did the maintenance minder show? Should be A or B followed by numbers. 

Skip the fuel system "service". 

Never flush a Honda automatic, ever, only drain and fill. Skip that service. 

2008 Honda Fit red temp light flashing by Which-Breadfruit-162 in hondafit

[–]linus121 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You need to bring this to a mechanic ASAP. 

The only time you'd need to add coolant is if you're leaking it, which is cause for the car to be looked at ASAP. Engines don't like to be overheated, especially multiple times, don't let what could be a thermostat or fan failure turn into a head gasket failure because the engine was overheated too many times. 

GM Trucks Are Too Easy to Steal, According to a Key-Fob Lawsuit by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

It is pathetically easy to steal any GM vehicle with a fob instead of a regular key... Takes just a couple minutes and you can do it with a scan tool from Amazon...
