Hey folks, how long did you wait before hitting the highway? I've actually been driving for less than two months, or maybe two years. The car's been sitting back home and I'm worried it'll just go bad. Any advice from those with experience? Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

I own a 2014 SsangYong Korando, 2WD high trim, 2.0 gasoline. Recently, the check engine light occasionally turns on with the error code indicating a misfire in cylinder 1. Sometimes it turns off by itself. I've swapped spark plugs between cylinder 1 and 2, ignition coils between cylinder 1 and 3, and even swapped the injectors. I planned to use elimination to check if it's the injector issue, but after each swap, the misfire code for cylinder 1 still comes back eventually! The engine idles with slight vibrations, but I don't feel any power loss on the highway—it easily goes over 160 km/h. Later, I measured the cylinder pressure: cylinder 1 is at 8 kg, while the others are over 10 kg. After researching online, I suspect it's an exhaust valve issue. Now I'm really torn. Should I just let it be, or go for a major repair? I read online that some people can fix it by opening the cylinder head without removing the engine. But the local big auto shop is no more, and the private mechanic suggests removing the engine, which I really don't want to do—worried it won't fit back as perfectly as the original. It's stressful because I bought this as a first car for my father, who has loved cars all his life, and now this happens. I've been to various places without a clear diagnosis. Some say it's slight cylinder wear, some say valve leakage, and others mention cylinder head design flaws. Any advice from fellow Korando owners on how to solve similar issues would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone. I have an '06 Peugeot 206 with a 1.6 engine. I've been driving it for over two years now. I'm thinking about fixing it up a bit, like touching up the paint and replacing the floor mats and seat covers. I've been keeping up with the maintenance, so I won't go into that. Now I'm just wondering, given the age of the car, is it worth investing more into it? Would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

I've been considering getting a Changan CS95, but I'm worried about the high fuel consumption, which is said to be around 12-15 liters. Is it really that bad?

I just went out for a drive, and it seems like there's a problem on the way back. Is there anyone who knows about cars that can listen and tell if it's an engine issue? It's the holiday season, how should I fix it? (Mainly worried about further driving damaging the engine.) The specific situation is that on the way back, there was a noise indicating a fault, but no warning light came on. Then during two turns, the steering suddenly locked and the car stalled. Since I wasn't far from home, I drove a bit more and parked at home.

I'm driving a 2021 1.4T Comfort T-Cross, and it's run less than 20,000 miles. There have been two instances where it suddenly braked and paused while driving normally. What's the reason for this? Does anyone know?

Has anyone successfully unlocked their car system? I'm looking to modify my car's system mainly to install third-party apps like Dudu Launcher. I'm hoping to find a tutorial on how to unlock the system's permissions without fully flashing it, as my current package is a lifetime deal, and I'm worried it might void it. Any advice from knowledgeable car enthusiasts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏

I'm driving a 2017 model 1.4T automatic 2WD luxury version. Last year, I replaced the recalled vacuum pump. When I used to drive it daily, I didn't notice any issues. Recently, I've been using the car less, and after it's been parked for a day or two, the brakes feel hard when I start it in the morning. I wanted to check if the vacuum is sufficient, so I tried coasting in neutral and after pressing the brakes a couple of times, they become hard. I want to ask fellow car owners if they've experienced the same situation. Thanks.

I can't charge my electric Lavida, thought it was a grounding issue (there's a grounding wire left by the developer in the electrical box), so I connected it to the ground as well, using two 60cm grounding rods and a 50cm grounding angle iron, but it still sometimes charges and sometimes doesn't. Even the portable charger doesn't work. It's driving me crazy. When I took it to the 4S dealership, it charged fine. They updated the car's system, but it still won't charge at home. I tried two neighbors' charging stations, but it still won't charge. What's going on? Has anyone experienced something similar? It's been over 3 years and 50,000 km.
