    I need to replace a leaking coolant tank and cant find the specs on the coolant anywhere. Has anyone flushed theirs or topped off? It's dark green so maybe it just undiluted ethylene glycol. I have the part and it looks fairly easy to change . Should I do a full system flush as well...

    My wife has about 600 miles on her new 2019 Kia Optima. She started to get out of her car at the store and the car alarm went off. She tried to start the car and it would not start. A lady came by and told her to press lock then unlock on the key fob. That worked. The alarm stopped, and she...

    Hello, right now I have a staggered setup. On front I have 245/35/20 rear is 275/30/20. Tires are shot need new ones. if I change from 275/30/20 to 265/35/20 that will fit right?

    Been a while since we did the rounds of Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and after sifting through this afternoon we found three clever new auto accessories that are at the very least worth taking a closer look at. The first of the pack is the most practical, but as you work down the list they get a...

    When i go over certain man hole covers or bumps i get a loud noise from the struts as if they become fully compressed to the max. I recently got new front struts about a month ago. Any idea why?

    Had this pop up out of nowhere today. It happened about 5 minutes into my drive. Left and right turn signals have also intermittently been flashing fast like the bulb is burned out, but will all of a sudden go back to normal. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Car is a 2014 SXL with...
  11. Hybrids
    Ever since getting the 2017 Hybrid, the car felt solid with pretty good handling. I've driven it somewhat hard with the OEM tires and it felt pretty good but I always felt the tires were the weak link and I wanted it to roll a bit less in corners. Back in December, I drove a Stinger GT and my...

Does anyone have a link to either a video or written directions (showing an easier way) on how to change out the bulbs...

    Hi guys, Noticed yesterday that one of my taillights is no longer lit up fully. Also noticed quite a while ago that I get a lot of condensation in both of my taillights. Wondering whether I should try to fix it or go over to KIA and have them replace both, I imagine they would be covered? Thanks.
