| Answer to: Engine Belt | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | bomber | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Typically and I'm not sure about Mazda but I usually let the factory belt go to around 100,000 miles and then will change it. In your case I would inspect it and as long as it is not cracked or beat up you are probably okay. The aftermarket belts I usually change about every 50,000 miles and I like the Continental belts for the aftermarket serpentine belts. Not hard to change on most vehicles. | |||||
| Answer to: best tires | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| How much do you want to spend? I'm a mammoth cheapskate but won't buy cheap wacky-named Chinese tires. Too much riding on them. My favorite mid-price all-around tire is the General Altimax RT43. (General is owned by Continental.) One of the best budget tires is WalMart's "Douglas" brand, made by Goodyear. | |||||

| ... with!). So far it has 20,000 miles on it and the tires are already worn out. They come with the Continental SportContact 6 I believe, and I read that those only last around 15,000 or so, and they are super pricey (with tax and labor around $400 a tire!). Can you suggest an alternate tire that will last longer (and possibly less expensive), even if the performance is not quite as good as the SportContact 6? Since I'm not as racer, I probably wouldn't even notice the difference honestly. Thanks a bunch! Eric Carrera | |||||
| Intake Cleaning | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | parkwoodpilot | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, while I understand the need for induction cleaning on direct-injection power plants, is it really necessary when dealing with NON direct-injection systems? My previous experience with conventional fuel injection was a BMW 735IL after 30 years the valve train was immaculate! Now I have a beautiful 2017 Lincoln Continental 3.7 L NON direct injection V6 and the dealer is VERY insistent I do an intake cleaning! Your thoughts? Mark in Wichita,KS | |||||

| ... them well. That engine was extremely reliable, except for some issues with fuel system (either high pressure pump fail or solenoid overspray), maybe oil leaks or oil consumption - but nothing special. At the time, TDI and SDI were generally similar - Although most SDI engines were painfully, slow it was a better built engine. BUT it's important to know that the new 1.9 TDI engines are MUCH weaker than their predecessors, I've seen those fail even at bellow 150k miles. They're not particularly bad engines (as long as your one isn't affected by manuf ... | |||||

| Michelin defender LTX M/S. Quiet, awesome in the wet, easy to balance properly, and absolutely bombproof. Hands down the best tire I ever bought. if you want something a little softer, look at the Michelin Crossclimate SUV or Continental Crosscontact LX25. | |||||
| Should I buy this Lincoln | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | vikszu | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I got my drivers license and I’m looking for a first car with a semi-high budget. I’m looking at a 2017 lincoln Continental select with 57,000 miles V6 engine. Is it ok as a daily driver and reliable? If not I also looked at a 2014 lincoln mks with 27,000 miles v6. Are they good? | |||||
| Answer to: Help replacing serpentine belt | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Jeep 4.0 uses a manual tensioner for the belt. You need to loosen it to fit the new belt, then tighten it back up. The belt needs to be tighter than you think! (I use a Kricket tension gauge to set it to factory spec.) The video is for a Cherokee but a Wrangler should be basically the same: | |||||
| Answer to: Douglas tires at WalMart? | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They're good tires for the price and as you note are not Chinese-made. I have a set on one of my older cars that isn't driven much and they're fine. Some Douglas tires are made overseas though, my latest set came from Brazil. My current go-to tire for vehicles that see regular use is the General Altimax RT43, which is a very nice mid-price tire. (General is owned by Continental.) | |||||

| The Continental is probably the best option I’d say based on its features, reliability, styling, and materials. If you’re looking for good mpg get the MKZ hybrid but just to let you know Lincoln is getting a electric sedan soon they say for their 100th anniversary which is supposedly game changing but don’t even consider the Buick or the Chrysler. | |||||

| It's true, earth will be fine with or without us, I mean it's survived asteroids, ice ages, Continental drift, etc. Why would a few gasoline fumes affect it? Earth has been around 4 billion years, and it will aways produce life in some way. I'm not trying to be political, but people have been told for the last 50 years to feel guilty for living on this planet and using certain products made by the planet (Trees, gasoline, etc.) We don't need to go green or be more "efficient", and we don't need to save anything. The planet will eventually move on either way, ... | |||||
| Answer to: Cheaped Out | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They probably won’t last you another 200,000 - that’s just way more then what timing belts usually last… With that being said, Continental/ContiTech makes reasonably high quality rubber parts, I’ve been using their components on my cars for quite a while and they seem to work pretty well 🙂 just make sure that the parts you got are an exact match for your car before installing it, sometimes it can get pretty complicated to make sure a non oem part is an exact fit… | |||||

| 2004 Toyota Avalon 197K. Big Fan! Doing second timing belt at 200k along w/ water pump of course, but this time doing tensioner and pulley along w/ seals. Always OEM Toyota for assurance but I did cheap out with a kit from Continental for the tensioner and pulley that was on sale at Rock Auto. The parts may come from China... Question: Everything I'm doing is preventative maintenance as my car is running perfectly; will I regret putting these aftermarket parts in-will they last 200k like original? | |||||

| I personally would buy neither since I would rather buy an Acura, Volvo, Lexus, or Infiniti, but if I had to pick, I would go with the Lincoln MKZ, since it's based on the Ford Fusion, which is relatively reliable depending on which engine you get, but I would look at the 3.7 V6 engines since those are better than the Ford Ecoboost trash. Never buy Ford EcoBoost since they are not very well-made engines. Also stay away from the 300, LaCrosse, and Continental, they are all endless money pits. | |||||
