PROS AND CONS OF BUYING A CAR WITH A TURBOCHARGER Pros and cons of buying a car with a turbocharger. With tighter fuel economy regulations, car makers use turbocharged engines in more and more cars. With a turbocharger, the vehicle can have a smaller engine and use less fuel when coasting, idling or in stop-and-go traffic. When needed, a turbocharger kicks in and provides extra power. REVIEWS OF POPULAR USED SUVS AND CROSSOVERS Reviews of popular used SUVs and crossovers. Our reviews of popular used SUVs include pros and cons, problems, tips on what to look for, photos, as well as some info on the engine, such as whether it has a timing belt or timing chain. We are interested in more technical aspects, rather than consumer features of the vehicles we review. BATTERY SENSOR: HOW IT WORKS, PROBLEMS, CHECKING, BATTERY Battery sensor problems. The most common problem is when the dirt, moisture or battery acid get into the sensor and damage or short it. For example, in some BMW vehicles, the battery is located in the side compartment in the trunk and water leaking onto the battery can damagethe sensor.

CV JOINT: HOW IT WORKS, SYMPTOMS, PROBLEMS The most common symptom of a worn outer CV joint is a clicking or popping noise when turning. Usually the noise gets louder when accelerating in turns. In the worst cases, a badly-worn outer CV joint can even disintegrate while driving, which could create a potentially hazardous situation. Inner CV joint failures are rare. WINDOW REGULATOR, WINDOW MOTOR: HOW IT WORKS, PROBLEMS The mechanism that moves the window up and down is called the window regulator. In some cars, the window motor comes with the window regulator as one unit (see the photo); in others, the window motor can be replaced separately. There are two basic types of window regulators: the cable type (the top image) and the gear-drive type(the image below).
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR (MAF): HOW IT WORKS, SYMPTOMS A hot-wire mass air flow sensor has a small electrically heated wire (hot wire). A temperature sensor installed close to the hot wire measures the temperature of the air near the hot wire. When the engine is idling, a small amount of air flows around the hot wire, so it takes a very low electric current to keep the wire hot. P0442 EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED (SMALL LEAK): CAUSES According to the GM service bulletin, in some 2011-2013 Chevy, Buick and Cadillac vehicles the code P0442 might be caused by the leaking EVAP Vent Solenoid (CVS). The vent solenoid must be tested under vacuum and replaced if leaking. Another GM service bulletin 02-06-04-037J for Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra recommends replacingthe vent valve

HOW EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM WORKS The Exhaust Gas Recirculation or EGR system is one of several vehicle emission control systems.

TOYOTA VENZA: PROBLEMS, FUEL ECONOMY, PROS AND CONS, AWD Toyota has issued the ZE2 Warranty Enhancement Program to extend coverage for a leaking engine oil cooler pipe in the 2009-2011 Venza. We found these videos explaining the repair. According to the Toyota service bulletin TSB-0041-13, a brief (about 1 sec.) knocking or rattling noise at a startup in the 1AR 2.7L 4-cylinder engine could be caused by a problem with the Camshaft Timing NO-START ISSUES WITH PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM The solution is to place a key fob close to the start button, like in the photo or if there is a special slot for the key fob, insert it into that slot . If this helps to start the car, you know there is something wrong with the key fob or its battery. You can also try using the second key, see if PURGE VALVE, HOW IT WORKS, SYMPTOMS, PROBLEMS, TESTING Purge valve: how it works, symptoms, problems, testing. The purge valve is the part of the vehicle Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system. The EVAP system prevents fuel vapors in the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere. The EVAP system traps fuel vapors from the fuel tank and temporarily stores them in the charcoal canister,see the
BLOWER MOTOR, RESISTOR: HOW IT WORKS, SYMPTOMS, PROBLEMS Testing the voltage at the blower motor. If there is a voltage at the motor (at least 4-6 Volt at low speed and 12 Volt at high speed), but the motor doesn't run, the motor is bad.

This means that on a highway trip, the CX-9 can drive up to 422 miles (679 km) on one tank of gas. See the fuel economy numbers in the table. Safety: The 2007-2010 CX-9 scored five out of five stars in the government crash test and has a four star rollover resistance rating. CODE P0171 - SYSTEM TOO LEAN: SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, COMMON The OBDII trouble code P0171 - System Too Lean (Bank 1) means that the engine air-fuel mixture is too lean, or there is too much air and too little fuel. Driving a car with the code P0171 can cause more damage to the engine over time, as when the engine runs lean, the combustion temperature is higher.
