I think it's just a build up with the cold weather, head gasket would a possibility but why would it go from sitting for 2 weeks? Give it a blast, stay local and keep an eye on the temp. the engine is not running right already, so if the head gasket failed there will be more damage done by giving i...

my KIA optima came with nexen tires from factory. the grip is really very good in dry and wet conditions, but IMO they are too noisy.

My friend put 15 pounds of petrol in my old Passat. I filled it up with diesel and kept topping it up. It didn't start great for about a week but it was fine afterwards. It smelt a bit different for a bit but if anything was less smokey lol. I filled it up straight away at the pump without moving s...

it wouldn't be so bad and wouldn't cost so much if l would call the company straight away instead putting another 80 pounds of diesel on top. she started fine and run perfectly on the way home. after a couple of hours l needed to get to the shop and then poor engine didn't start at all. l wonder WHY...

Hi, this is second time l have done this (first time with this car)... it's a common rail diesel engine. the tank was empty (warning light on) and l put 16 litres of unleaded in the tank. was thinking to call a company who sends a guy with equipment to get the fuel out of tank, but decided to just f...
