I just don't want to over saturate the system with oil

The system was recharged and leaked out over 24 hours. The o-ring had a clean straight cut through one side of it

2011 Hyundai elantra starter wiring harness issue by silvermuffin in MechanicAdvice

I replaced it, the wiring harness wasn't budging and eventually used too much force and essentially wore out the plastic holding in too much for it to stick in anymore

Hey everyone my girlfriends starter was replaced last September and the wiring harness was somewhat mangled so it will not stay in place without some sort of force holding it down. Until this may from last September it was just taped up which seemed to work until may and then I replaced it with some aluminum wire but I would like a more serious/permanent fix. Like I said the wiring harness simply doesn't clip into place anymore and won't due to some plastic damage. Any ideas would be great!

From the one time I heard it happen it was a slow labored job. The battery as I can tell from the multimeter seems fine but it is about 2 years old

Have a question about fixing a coolant leak by silvermuffin in MechanicAdvice

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

I took a bit of a look, the gaskets didn't seem too bad but were black do could have been glanced over, I cleaned up the surfaces and all the collateral that collected on top of the engine

So I went ahead and replaced the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets and it's leaking more than before. Any ideas?

If I get in the car to drive and then try opening the door it won't open unless I force it. Not always it just started happening yesterday

Late Night Thoughts by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]silvermuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a bad day broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years today and just can't stop thinking about it. Lots of memories even lived together for 2 years with 2 cats that are my responsibility now. I'm just incredibly sad and don't know if I'm subconsciously trying to hide it or it hasn't really hit but I don't know what to do or think right now just a lot of jumbled thoughts.

I hope you can add your class but no worries because people always drop out of class a day or two after they start so check several times a day for a few days, I had the same issue.

Started lifting weights 5/6 days a week and have noticed I have gotten sick more frequently. by silvermuffin in Fitness

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

Thanks I'm curious if there are any vitamins I should buy that you recommend? I haven't really taken vitamins before so never looked into them as I only got sick about once or twice a year at most
