| Answer to: Ac condenser | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| AC condensers don't have a shelf life. All an AC condenser is, is one giant tube that runs back and forth, with lots and lots of individual fins to disperse hot, liquid refrigerant into cooled, liquid refrigerant. The condenser is forward of the radiator, which means it's most suseptible to pinholes and gashes from rocks and other debris. Unless your compressor has failed, the only other options are are the condenser is partly obstructed, your fans are weak, or you've damaged it. You didn't mention your car, and it would help greatly if you mentioned it. ... | |||||

| ... the windshield. It may be extraneous, but the concept of an air "conditioner" is kind of a misnomer. Heat is always involved, and there must be a "wall" isolating the two. Refrigerant that is cool liquid turns into gas in the evaporator, absorbing heat from inside the cabin. It comes back out of the evaporator into the outside air, warmed up, and still a gas before it enters the compressor to be recompressed, further generating heat. It enters a condenser to cool the hot liquid back down before the cycle repeats. All an air conditioner is is a heat pump in ... | |||||
| Answer to: water pump leaks coolant | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I don't think so. Nothing will explode. That's why there's a relief valve in the pressure cap set for around 15 psi. The cooling system (engine, radiator, etc) is always be 100% full of liquid. When it gets hot, it expands a bit and the extra goes into the reservoir. Then when it cools, it gets sucked back in. If there's too much liquid in the reservoir, then it usually spills out of the overflow hole. The only danger comes from the coolant being too LOW or not having enough antifreeze in it. | |||||

| ... for 7 years and has roughly 90k miles on it now. - She often basks in the Florida sun and has been subject to a lot of speeding (not me, someone else) when she drives. - The most “maintenance” she’s gotten were free maintenances by Subaru, liquid+filter changes, a couple battery replacements, and new brake pads. (Very minimal) She has her fair share of front break pad usage issues before this noise appeared, but as my title implies, this noise is located roughly at the front of the vehicle, closer to the passenger side. It only really speaks up when t ... | |||||

| RE: piston slap and oil viscosity - 2002 Mustang GT | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | theeel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Because the thread began with a long winded explanation of why the 4.6L should be using 5W30 like it did originally but Ford changed it to 5W20 to meet CAFE standards. It was mentioned in the thread that the oil change resulted in a minuscule savings in gasoline (less than 1%) but results in much less protection of the engine (about 30% less). People would rather their engine last longer so a lot of Mustang owners went to 5W30 while a few complained of piston slap. | |||||
| Answer to: Clean O2 sensor without removing | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... The good news is these days even the cheaper scanners can graph sensor voltages (slowly) and with a 17 year old car you really should invest in a scanner because you'll be needing one (case in point, right now). With the engine warmed up and idling the AF sensor voltage should be around 3.3 volts (fluctuating a little from 3.25 to 3.35 volts is fine). It looks like this when graphing the voltage: Then, force a "lean condition" by disconnecting a vacuum line. The AF Sensor voltage should respond by increasing closer toward 4.0 volts (in the picture ... | |||||

| ... from the hood. I opened the hood and found coolant was spraying. I drove the car to a repair shop 2 minutes away and they diagnosed my radiator was leaking. I repaired my car with a new radiator, and it served for 3-4 days without any issues. On another hot afternoon, while I was driving, I heard some weird boiling noise from the hood. I pulled over, opened the hood, and found the coolant in the coolant tank was "boiling". The pressure was so high that even pushed the coolant out of the tank. I parked on the side of the road for a couple of hours then i ... | |||||

| Answer to: How do i know if my piston rings are bad | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| That’s just it - you are not going to know for sure without a compression test. Some symptoms of bad piston rings include oil consumption, gray/white/blue smoke out of exhaust (from oil in combustion chamber), loss of power/acceleration, even misfire in a particular cylinder. But you won’t know for sure (and you will not know which cylinder or cylinders) without a compression test. | |||||
