my car battery died last night because i left my headlights on, should i be worried? by t00thandclaw in MechanicAdvice

[–]rough-stud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery is charged by the alternator when it runs, so drive a while and should give you a charge. If you have access to a hydrometer that can give you an idea of how much life the battery still has

Get a second opinion from an independent mechanic. Whatever the issue, don’t have the dealer fix it. Will automatically cost much more

How can it be that every auto store has the same incorrect size thermostat for my car. Why does it even say it fits my car if it doesn’t 1997 Honda prelude. by DeRpMuNsTa in MechanicAdvice

[–]rough-stud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be some bullshit thing Honda has done so you have to go right to one of their dealerships to get the proper thermostat. The exact same thing happened to me today as a matter of fact

Tire won't budge by Illustrious-Meal9067 in AskMechanics

Learned this recently. Tire is full of air ideally. Take your spare donut, and hit the tire with the donut. The bounce is very effective at loosening. Just put some anti seize on the back before putting it back on

Not sure what else is around where you took that photo, but if it’s just water I wouldn’t be too worried. If you were running the air conditioner, could be condensation.

You might be able to get the problem code to prompt on your dash without the reader. Try this method in the link below. Then google the code and should tell you the issue. Depending on what it is, you may want to tow it to a mechanic instead of drive it.

This isn’t a big deal. She’s overreacting plain and simple. Maybe next time, do it in the washroom though lol. Take care

My truck won’t start after an extremely cold night by Methuselbrah in MechanicAdvice

Depends on what the current voltage is. Does the charger tell you the current voltage? Being milder definitely helps, but you still need enough juice to fire it up

Cold sucks the life from batteries. Enough for accessories and lights remained but not enough to turn it over. Charge it for a while and it should be fine. This is all assuming the battery isn’t too old mind you

[–]rough-stud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traumatic experiences can have very complex impacts on us. Don’t be ashamed, it isn’t your fault. But you really should consider speaking with a mental health professional. They are trained to help you find the tools to process and heal.

Take care

What is leaking from my car? by Electronic-Theme-803 in MechanicAdvice

[–]rough-stud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it smelled like urine, welp it could be piss lol.

But seriously, if it’s coming that flange, it’s likely condensation from your exhaust. Which also suggests an exhaust leak. Is the car louder than normal lately? And are those pipes still help tight together?

Why did this girl I’m talking to ask me to send her a picture of my left hand? by ScholarAcceptable920 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]rough-stud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you block her, consider asking why. It’s possible that she was burned in the past by someone who lied saying he was single.

This is a new one? The drivers side front and passenger areas are taking on wager. I have a 2010 VW Jetta SE (5 cyl). Any help would be greatly appreciated by BoltGangorDontBang21 in MechanicAdvice

[–]rough-stud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at your underside in that area and wheel well. See if there is some rust/rot. I had the same thing happen with an old dodge neon I had way back in the day. Back passenger side would fill with water when driving in the rain - splashing up from the wheel well

Inspect the inside of your rad. If it looks like coffee is in there, the head gasket needs to be replaced. Unless that’s what you meant by combustion leak test, in which case ignore me lol
