Does the 2024 Highlander's particulate filter still get clogged? Fellow car enthusiasts, is your particulate filter still getting clogged? I've heard that the materials used now are better, so the chances of clogging are lower. I'm considering just replacing it with an empty shell to avoid future headaches.

Hey car enthusiasts, I'm having some brake issues with my 2010 Volvo S80L. The brakes work fine when moving forward, but there's a chance of brake failure during short-distance reversing. A few days ago, when I changed the brake fluid, it was noticeably slow to drain out before adding the new fluid. Could it be that the brake fluid line is clogged? The brake pads are still quite thick, so I can basically rule them out. Any advice from the experts? 😬😬😬

Where is the Subaru's particulate filter located, and will short city commutes of 3-5 km cause it to clog easily?

Does no one really care about the car's width? Including the side mirrors, it's 2.4 meters, and when folded, it's still 2.2 meters. This width feels more intimidating than the 5.68-meter length to me. When parking outside, with a length of 5.68 meters, at worst, you can let it stick out by 30 or 40 centimeters, and passing drivers can just steer a bit to avoid it. But a width of 2.4 meters really makes parking a big issue. Perpendicular parking spaces are the most common, and a standard parking space, including the boundary lines, is 2.4 meters, which basically means it takes up the entire space. If there's a car on the right side, parking this car to the left of it makes it almost impossible for the other person to get in. If you park on the right side of another car, it might be slightly better; at most, the other person might have to move the car out a bit to let passengers get in from the passenger side. Of course, if you fold the mirrors before parking, you can give the neighboring car an extra 20 centimeters of space, but most people probably find that hard to manage.

The display indicating that the particulate filter is regenerating in your T-Cross means that the system is cleaning the diesel particulate filter (DPF). This process is normal for diesel vehicles and helps maintain performance by burning off accumulated soot. You can still drive your car while this regeneration process is ongoing.

Hi, for a 2011 Suzuki Swift 1.5 automatic that's run 110,000 km, here's what you might want to consider for maintenance to avoid getting ripped off: 1. **Oil Change**: Check and replace the engine oil and oil filter. 2. **Transmission Fluid**: Inspect and possibly replace the transmission fluid. 3. **Brake System**: Check the brake pads and brake fluid. 4. **Coolant**: Inspect the coolant level and top up or replace if necessary. 5. **Air Filter**: Check the air filter and replace if dirty. 6. **Tires**: Check tire pressure and tread wear. 7. **Battery**: Test the battery to ensure it's in good condition. 8. **Belts and Hoses**: Inspect for any wear and tear. It's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's manual or a trusted mechanic for specific recommendations.

I went to the Toyota 4S store yesterday to check out this car. The exterior and interior are both acceptable. I'm just a bit concerned about one thing: the particulate filter is located in the middle section of the exhaust, which is a bit far from the engine. Theoretically, since it's a naturally aspirated hybrid engine, the operating temperature is lower and the filter is farther from the engine. Wouldn't the particulate filter be more prone to clogging? What do you experts think about this issue?
