  1. I have a question. Why electric cooling fan is used these days rather than mechanical fans which were used before?

  3. To replace a catalytic converter is a tough job dude. So if. You have never done a DIY task befpre than i would recommend you not to perform this task. But if you have done a lot of DIY tasks, then following steps will help you in replacement: First you need to raise the vehicle completely by putting jacks on all the four tires. Replacing catalytic converter is typically under the car job, so make sure you raise your car safely to actually go inside the car. Now, you need to locate the catalytic converter which you can notice in thr exhaust system which is rectangular or circular shape. After finding the converter, you need to remove the oxygen sensor before the converter. You will need wrenches and similar tools to remove it. So make sure you have all the tools required. Keep the oxygen sensor aside and unscrew the converter which may be tighten rustly. So be careful with it. So now you have removed the catalytic converter. To replace it woth a new one consult your dealer or car manual fpr proper dimensions and specifications of the new convertr that you will need install. Not installing the new converter is same process as of removing it. Place the new converter to tje same position where the old one was. Now tighten the nuts using the tools. Install the oxygen sensor again. Now you are good to go. But one more thing to remember, do not preform this task with engine on and hot exhaust system. And please do not avoid the jacks that you are using to raise your car. If you do that, you are inviting a tragedy home. So make sure that you carefully and safely raise the vehicle.
  4. What are you saying rocky. Convertible cars are way cooler than nnormal ones. If the weather is good, you love driving the convertible. And about the interior s, Audi spend more on interiors of convertibles than non convertibles. Seats are more relaxing in convertibles.

  18. Oh Great! I am really happy to share this with every one of you. Emergency kit is really important to avoid any kind of emergency challenge or any range of car problem on the middle of the road. Some things that I remember that one should always carry are: Mobile Phone: Always carry a hone with you, in case you have to call a recovery van or your relatives that you are stuck in the middle of the road. Even if you don’t have signal in the phone, you can always call the police to help you. But do remember to mention your name, location and your number to them that help sign locating your location easily. First Aid: Always carry a first-aid box in your car if there is a small or big accident. It’s for your own safety, and also the safety for other driver or passengers in the car. Fire Extinguisher: In case it’s a big accident, and there is fire in the car, fire extinguisher helps in saving the driver, passenger and also the auto parts sometimes. Whenever there is leakage or short circuit, fire extinguisher is the best solution to avoid any large flames in the car. Tire gauge, Jack and Wrenches: If in case you have a flat tire on the middle of the road, tire gauge, spare tire, jack, jack stand and wrenches will save you from waiting. Fuses: It will help you in solving any electrical issue in the car. If you don’t know how to replace burned-out fuse, always look up in the car manual. Jumper cable: If the battery shuts down, then you can always jump start the battery if another driver on the road can help you out with it. You just need jumper cables to put the battery back in the motion. Cleaning foam, gloves: If you perform DIY task on the road, then you will be needing gloves for your hand and also some type of cleaning foam to keep your hand clean.
  19. Well, I dont really agree with you guys. If your had had so many replaced componencts doesnt mean that every Cadillac model has the same issue. ya sometimes its possible that manufacturing defaults leads to auto parts replacement, but the same is not true of every model. I mean I love my car. I have SRX, and never really faced any replacement issues with the dealers. So I suppose it depends upon whom you talkiing to as everyone have their own opinions.
  20. Nice choice dude! Actually its kinda same choice. I love M4 coupe too. And if it has matt finish, what else do u want?
  21. It’s because of the micro switches. The shot switches in door latch of the driver’s seat unable the signal to door lock. You need to get that checked.
