I've got a 2013 Kia Sportage Manual GL 2.0, and the steering wheel shakes when idling. I've cleaned the carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, the injectors, and the idle valve. I also replaced the spark plugs and engine mounts last year. Any experts out there have any advice?
Navara 2019 model, currently has over 60,000 kilometers. When changing the spark plugs, there was oil in the cylinders. The 4S technician said the valve cover needs to be replaced due to internal leakage and should be replaced together. I want to ask everyone, is this a common issue with the Navara?
When starting, there's a noticeable vibration, but the higher the speed, the less the vibration. There's no vibration when coasting, but as soon as you accelerate, you feel it, especially at lower speeds. Why is that? There's no unusual noise. I've already replaced the left half axle, engine mounts, and recently changed the tires and ignition coils. The repair shop says it's an issue with the transmission and it needs repairs. Is that true? 😮💨
4To replace the dust cover on the gear lever of a 2018 manual transmission ZS, follow these general steps: 1. **Remove the Gear Knob:** First, unscrew or pull off the gear knob, depending on its attachment method. 2. **Detach the Dust Cover:** Carefully pry off the trim panel around the gear lever to access the dust cover. This might require a trim removal tool to avoid damaging the panel. 3. **Remove the Old Dust Cover:** Once the trim is removed, you'll see how the dust cover is attached. It might be clipped or screwed in place. Remove any fasteners and take off the old cover. 4. **Install the New Dust Cover:** Position the new dust cover in place, ensuring it's aligned correctly. Secure it with the clips or screws you removed earlier. 5. **Reattach Trim Panel:** Pop or screw the trim panel back into place around the gear lever. 6. **Reattach Gear Knob:** Finally, screw or push the gear knob back onto the lever. Note: These steps are a general guide. It's always best to refer to the vehicle's manual or consult a professional for specific instructions related to your car model.
5If your 2010 Suzuki Swift 1.5 automatic is still shaking after replacing the spark plugs, ignition coils, PCV valve, and EGR valve, there could be other issues at play. Some potential causes could be: - Engine mounts: Worn or damaged engine mounts can cause vibrations. - Fuel injectors: Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to engine misfires. - Throttle body: A dirty or faulty throttle body can affect engine performance. - Air intake system: Check for any leaks or blockages in the air intake system. - Transmission issues: Problems with the transmission can also cause vibrations. You may want to consult a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue more accurately.
6Jetur X70, 2020 model. I started having a coolant leak, and when pressure was applied, the leak point was found. The four-way valve was replaced, and the heating pipe and water inlet pipe were tightened. It was also discovered that the water pump was leaking, and eventually, everything was replaced. However, after refilling the coolant, the mechanic found that the engine temperature was high, but it drops as soon as the heater is turned on. They spent half a day but couldn't find the problem, and the car not being fixed has caused a lot of issues. Have you encountered this before? How did you handle it?

9I've got a 2013 Forester and I'm hearing some clunking noises from the chassis. I already replaced the steering rack, but the issue is still there. I'm thinking about changing the shocks next, but the specialist said it's not necessary and that this noise is something the car has had since it was made. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice?
