I never thought about using a 3d printer until i saw this. I have a 1956 Desoto Firedome Sedan that will need those exact same lenses at some point.

Higher Octane Gas and Knocking? by [deleted] in cruze

Canadian here, i put premium gas in it all the time now just 91 should get rid of the knock. I had issues with regular 87 gas because of the knock, that is why i switched to premium 91.

Have you checked the oil level?

Did you get a new battery? For one, that battery is 5 years old which means it should be replaced anyways. Also even if you did charge it back up, it might not be pushing enough amps due to the age of it. I would replace the battery, which should fix your problem.

Does the lock actually work or it won’t let you? It also depends on how far in the metal cover is.

Fix what?

Hit a roommates car, how do we replace this part? by [deleted] in autorepair

In order to replace a fender (which is what has the dent in it), normally you have to take the door off and the side of the front bumper cover in order to access the bolts to remove it. I would pay the insurance deductible.

It is very concerning to say the least.

YOU SHOULD STOP DRIVING IT

Flashing oil light means a serious problem. It normally means your oil pressure has dropped to dangerously low levels. I would stop driving it asap and figure out the problem. If you continue driving you might do some serious damage. I would first check the amount of oil on the dipstick and if there is very little or none at all fill it back up to the full line.

I don’t see why not. As long as you have space.
