The transmission is dead. The torque converter that is. It starts but it wont go past 10 mph. Here is my craigslist link http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/2622799370.html

I have to sell my car for parts. I have had Torque converter problems for a few months, and yesterday the tranny died. The problems were the rumble strips. It was driving fine yesterday then I got off the highway and the car wouldn't even go past 10mph. I tried to keep going then it just died...

So my passenger converter is broke. Can I buy a universal one and use that? One other thing, if I cut the broken cat out and just put a straight pipe there will that affect my gas mpg? Because right now since the cat is broke, my mpg is horrible. I have to struggle on the highway at 50 mph just...

So 2 months ago my water pump broke and the mechanic put a new one in. Today I was idling and I noticed coolant by my passenger tire. I checked to see where the leak was coming from and it looks to be where the water pump is. Its not at the coolant hoses or the heater core hoses. Is there a way...

So yesterday both of my cigarette lighters stop working. I had the sirius radio plugged into the 1st socket that I use everyday. I turn the car off unplug the radio power, restart the car and its dead. I tried the one in the back its dead as well. The fuse lights up as well. Could it be the...

With my last few threads it was about cooling system issues air in the system. So today I went to another mechanic who said they will bleed the system. I went there he opened the crossover cap put some anti freeze in but the coolant bottle was nearly full and it over filled a little. So he also...

I do not know if my problem is a bad head gasket or just trapped air in the coolant system. If I drive my car for more than 15 minutes the temp gauge goes up to O. So today I had to move the car but this time I let it idle. It got up to R range so I went to go check on my fan it wasn't on. So I...

As per my last thread my trouble started with my serpetine belt coming off while I was driving. So today I took it to the mechanic and I needed a new belt and a new water pump. The cap that goes on the front of the water pump was loose I thought if I get a new cap it would be all ok. It wasn't...

I was driving yesterday and my serpentine belt was half way off. But I was able to get home. So today I bought a new belt. It is the same size belt. So I am reading the picture to install on the top of the hood. But for the life of me I cannot loop the new belt onto the crankshaft. I am starting...

On my car I do not know how to turn on the corner marker light. I always thought they made the blinkers shine higher when driving at night. But I need it to pass the inspection. So today I learned it wasn't the turn blinkers those are in the front not on the side. Both sides do not come on and...

As the title says I am having some battery issues. Last month I replaced the alternator then after that everything was fine. The problems began last saturday, I was driving fine made a few stops. I go to start the car and it kind of choked as in when the battery is weak. So I go home the...

Ok so this problem only happens when its very cold outside. When its around 25 degrees and colder. When I first start the car, the car will start and just die. Originally I thought it was a fuel issue because I would around 1/8 of gas left. But yesterday when I went out it was 20deg out and I...

OK so back in March I changed out the front air bags for coils. Ever since then the back air bags was ok until last weekend. Now the back air bags is slammed and the car bounces like crazy. So ever since the i had the coils put on the air compressor never came on once. If it did I never heard...

Does anybody know if any sun visors are interchangeable with other FLM models? 95 MK8 thanks

Ok I have a 95 Mark 8. Ok so i had my mechanic check my cel and since obd1 isnt as precise as obd2. He found 9 codes, but I asked him about code 214 CID. A lot of codes said bank 2 lean one said fuel so he thought code 214 meant that fuel pump may need changing. He is correct? Car has 115k on it...

Two days ago my problem started. The car will start up then it will just die about 2 seconds after it starts up then its fine the rest of the day. At first I was thinking it was the starter but now I am thinking its the fuel pump. Doesn't the starter turn off once the car is running?

I just put on front coils on my car and it runs great. My question is I kept the old air bags can they be rebuilt? If not I will just throw them out thanks.

Well I have had this problem for a while. I have a 95 mark8 110k. I just did a tune up yesterday it needed one anyway, so I did new plugs, wires, air filter and fuel filter. It does accelerate better but when I press down all the way on the pedal it feels like there is something blocking. At...

I want to change my front struts soon, Can I just go ahead and buy some tbird struts? Or do I need the kit from American air ride?

So I was driving last night the front air bags got low while driving, I hit a big pot hole going 50mph. When I tried to take my keys out of the ignition they wouldnt come out!. The switch doesn't go to where I can remove my keys it doesnt even go back to where I can only play the radio. So I got...
