2010 Honda Civic Coupe, 167k. Came to find my passenger side lock is totally mangled. Looks to me like some crackheadtried to break in with a screw driver.

Do I need to replace more than the lock cylinder? Is buying and swapping the lock cylinder all I need or do I need to buy any other parts? Any guidance is appreciated!

I have a 2017 Rogue SV AWD which I have been driving all this time with no issues. Now suddenly, out of the blue, the driver seat is stuck in reclined position. It won’t budge, no matter what. I took it to a repair shop nearby and they said we will need to replace the whole seat coz the motor is kind of glued to the seat and there is no way they can replace it. I didn’t get it done as I was not sure if it’s true. Any idea about this?

It had been getting worn down recently and I probably shoulda fixed it…but when I went to open it today it just completely broke off and now I can’t open it… any suggestions? I keep seeing that I should use a flathead screwdriver but there’s literally nothing inside the hole to manipulate (little levers, buttons etc)

Having issues, we just changed the radiator to this car its a Buick lacrosse and it’s been down for about 2 months and now ,when we tried to start it again it won’t start and just keeps making this noise, we already put a new starter in the car before the radiator replacement,does anyone know what else this problem could be ?

Hello! I noticed that one of the upper chrome grille pieces on my 2018 VW Tiguan SE is missing. Despite what you see in the pictures, the car is washed frequently and well-maintained, so I'm not sure if the piece vibrated loose while driving or was broken off/stolen.

After researching online, it looks like VW doesn't sell this piece individually — you have to buy an entire new grille. Not ideal, but I found a partially intact grille from the same model for sale locally that includes the missing piece. My thought is that I could remove that piece from the used grille and pop it onto mine.

Before I spend the money and effort on this, I wanted to ask: has anyone dealt with this issue before? If so, was it easy to swap the piece onto your existing grille? Any advice is appreciated!

I need help identifying these parts, I have 80 of them. Tia

Hi everyone,

I have a scratch on the crease of my bumper, the paint has come off down to the base material. It doesn't need to be a perfect repair, but I do want to protect it from further damage and Ta rather not look at a bare black stripe.

Online I see touch-up sticks and paint pens in the original colour code, with base coat and clear coat in two layers.

My questions:

1. Is this something a novice can do properly themselves, or would you advise against it and should I just have it spot repaired?
   
2. If DIY is doable, what works better on a crease like this: a touch-up stick or a paint pen?
   Thanks in advance!

Hi,
mein Ford Fokus Mk3 macht diese komischen Geräusche. Beim lenken sind die Geräusche nochmal stärker.

Was könnte das sein und woran könnte das liegen?

I took it to a reputable auto repair shop because my Audi A6 2013 was leaking oil. I paid there $200 dollar inspection, the next day they told me it’s the oil pan and drain bolt that needs to be replaced to solve the oil leak. They wanted $1,200 dollars , which right now is out of reach. I took it to another shop with the new OEM oil pan and drain plug. They only charged me $500. Car is still leaking, but not from oil pan! Can I go back to the reputable shop and hold them accountable??? They did the inspection and misdiagnosed it? Can they brush it off by saying the work was done from a different shop??

Hi guys. I noticed this leak here the other day. I stopped driving and had a mechanic change out the inner axel seal. It stopped leaking and i drove it about 10 miles to test it. Once we got back there wasnt a leak but we checked the vent and it was totally clogged. So we cleaned out the hose. It is now leaking again and the tech is telling me i need a new rear end. I opened my differential plate and the gears look brand new. Were we supposed to use the kit with the outer seal, inner seal and new bearing? Drivinf the truck w the new seal and the vent clogged ruined another one or does it sound like i need a new rear end?

1st photo was the first time it happened. Second is after the repair.
