| RE: 2011 Toyota Prius Head Gasket Repair Advice Needed | 31Relevance | 6 years ago | TommyPierce | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| @Trail Benders Overland I have a Blue Devil update. I brought my car to Cloverdale Express Oil & Car Repair cloverdalexpress.com in Cloverdale California. The owner is Jennifer and wow was she knowledgeable and thorough. She and her mechanic Isreal first did a pressure test that showed good compression. They recognized the misfiring as a possible coil issue but found out it wasn't that by running a test on it. Then they used a mini-camera in cylinder 1 that showed her there was a tiny leak from the head gasket into the top of the piston causing the ... | |||||

| 2018 CrossTrek - Blue Smoke (Dumbfounded) | 30Relevance | 1 year ago | orlandoleal | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... I noticed a puff of Blue smoke in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoon. I took it to the Subaru dealer. They ran it through several tests (i.e., compression, seals, valve guides, pvc, etc...) - no issues. Afterwards, they said I needed a carbon deposit cleanup. $1600... they did a manual deposit cleanup and replaced the spark plugs. Car had better pickup afterwards, but the Blue smoke continued. I took it back to the Subaru dealer again at around 82000 miles and the mechanic did an Oil Consumption test. I drove it for 1300 miles and the dealer ... | |||||

| Id stick with your trailblazer. That era of GM was pretty high up in build quality & reliability. Plus at that age & mileage (for both cars) anything could go. But, better the Devil you know than the Devil you dont. If the trailblazer is still in good condition keep it. You dont know what little gremlins that Lexus has. | |||||

| On the oil leak. It depends, sometimes it is okay to live with an oil leak. Other times, it must be fixed. Right now, I am living with an oil leak on my Honda Accord 1999. It's not too bad a leak. Just annoying. One old adage I've heard on this forum: better the Devil you know, than the Devil you don't. A 2001 Sentra is at towards the end of Nissan "good" run of quality. So it may be worth fixing. | |||||
| Answer to: blue smoke on start up | 30Relevance | 4 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Since you've already changed the PCV valve, it sounds like you're describing a small valve stem seal leak. Blue smoke on startup. Pretty easy to distinguish it from leaking piston rings. With leaking piston rings, if you mash down on the gas pedal, Blue smoke will pour from the exhaust pipe. With leaking valve seals, it won't. Also, with rings, not only will oil get into the combustion chamber, gas will get into the crankcase oil so your oil will smell like gas. To remedy that Blue smoke on startup, aside from actually replacing the valve stem seals, y ... | |||||
| Answer to: Got a blue driver for Christmas - what data for preventative maintenance? | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It's important to note that a CEL doesn't have to come on for you to have a stored code. Just because something hasn't triggered a CEL doesn't mean it hasn't triggered a code. Any scan tool is only as good the person interpreting the data. The Blue Driver is a good basic scan tool and it's not hard to learn how to use it properly. Since you're new to the Blue Driver I would suggest doing a full system scan on each vehicle first. After you've scanned you can check each vehicles live data (another function of the scanner) This is where you can find the real ti ... | |||||

| Your talking about wanting SUVs and all wheel drive and then say you're looking at sedans... And look if you want 4 wheel drive and an SUV you're not going to get great gas mileage no matter what you buy the smallest car I own is a tiny 2 door and it gets 30MPG max. Ontop of that prices for used vehicles are through the roof and have been for a while. If you do anything don't buy a Malibu or Impala those cars are total junk. To be honest if your Rodeo is fine and your biggest is gas mileage then its the Devil you know vs the Devil you don't. Sounds like you'd best with a civic hatchback or something but figure out what you want first and I would drive your 99 till the wheels fall off if its still running good and that could be your "snow SUV". | |||||
