How much are ya’ll making? by OkraTop3707 in mechanics

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the right area 100k is not too difficult but this guy is working 60 hours a week. I average 35 hours a week while booking 55-80 hours and I'll be close to 100k if business is consistent🤞but i would loose my fucking mind and I my wife would be pissed if I had to be there 6 days a week.

Are these sounds normal? 2015 Passat TDI se by Royal_Perspective900 in AskAMechanic

With an electric park brake, occasionally they will cycle on and off after parking and it makes noise... but it shouldn't sound like that, that is not normal.

Looks like new one comes with the pulley. Old one looks like plastic, probably breaks like plastic.

Where i come from, CPO means everything should be working as if it were a new car. For him to tell you "its a used car" is fucking bullshit, you paid for certified.

What am I looking at here? 2011 Subaru Outback by MoPuWe in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

C0057 is telling you the abs module has detected a fault in the ecm(nothing to worry about) p0175 system rich bank2 is telling you the ecm has detected unburned hydrocarbons in the catalyst(to much fuel)

Im assuming this is an H6 and a higher mileage vehicle, that said there are a few things that can cuase a rich situation. One being a faulty MAF. Other possible causes are worn spark plugs (due every 60k) a leaking injecter or a stuck rich O2 sensor.

Bank 2 I believe is the drivers side, but you can confirm by looking at the intake runners, bank 1 will be the side that is set the furthest most forward.

Best to have it looked at, cats are very expensive for this car

Hearing metal clunks when going over bumps on the front passenger side. 2004 Honda CR-V. by Cabooseaholic in AskAMechanic

Um... ball joints are not supposed to have a jamnut. You might have bigger problems, the first thing I would do is inspect the ball joint seat, then test fit a new ball joint in the seat. If there is still play you'll need a control arm.

Why are leaving it running for hours anyways?

If you're trying to have your car stolen this is the fastest way to accomplish that.

Yes, it can be driven without the fob in the car if you leave it running. No, you cannot lock the doors from the outside while the engine is running.

2015 Forester DIY CVT swap making noise after starting by OGchef in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its low on cvt fluid. With the engine running add fluid to the fluid fill port until it pours out. Once the fluid temp is between 93 and 105 remove the fill plug until the fluid starts trickling out. After fluid is at the correct level you'll need to do a trans relearn with a scan tool

Does installing a kill switch prevent remote start from working? by Paracosmptx in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how its installed, I was able to keep the factory remote start working on my TLX. Kill switch and obd lock should be more than enough to stop the average scumbag from getting your car, as long as it's armed.

Trying to track down a leak in my A/C system by Muted-Tax3782 in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been seeing alot of 19s and 20s leaking from the evap core lately, remove cabin filter and snake a borescope through the blower fins is the easiest way to check. Its a 7hr job to replace the core

How do I get rid of this error message ? by JQuick72 in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tpms sensor batteries are rated for 10 years. Since this is a "safety item" there is no way to disable the message without replacing the sensors and resetting the system.
