What happens if I overfill my power steering fluid?
Most modern power steering system has a pressure relief built into it. Most are in the cap. The fluid will expand with heat and the pressure relief will let it over flow out of the system. Then you have a mess. That’s it. No harm done. To the system at least, but not good for the environment.
How true is the law of attraction? Is thinking about a person too much, a way of attracting them to you?
The Law of Attraction is a very difficult concept to actually apply unless you have someone whose successfully performed it instruct you on how to do so step by step.If you don’t know what the Law of Attraction is, it just really states that you attract that on which you most focus. The obvious corollary to the Law of Attraction is the advice to focus on the things you want more of in your life – that you should spend more time thinking about what you wish to attract into your life than what you don't like.One of my favorite guides on learning the Law of Attraction is Manifestation Miracle (click to visit the website)Me personally, I used Manifestation Miracle to learn how to master the Law of Attraction and in short it’s simply been amazing. For example, I had a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. I was always wanting a new car because I was tired of my beat up interior and rusted exterior. I kept on focusing on a Hyundai sonata limited trim and eventually one day my jetta died. I was mad at the time, but in the long run it really paid off. While I was searching for a car, the Elantra model was selling for $18,000 for a 2013 limited model. I was about to buy it . but I kept on seeing Sonata’s so I kept searching. I ended up finding a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited trim with only 23,000 miles for $13,500. The car was way better, it was what I wanted, and it was cheaper!Not only did that happen, but my relationship problems also got fixed. I was able to leave my boyfriend and find my dream man that really takes care of me and has every single trait and attribute I ever dreamed of in a man.At the office, I wasn’t feeling like I was paid enough so I started focusing on a new executive position at another company. I wasn’t qualified enough, but I kept on reading about the job and picturing myself working at that company. I printed out their logo and taped it to my wall. Guess who got the job even though I wasn’t as qualified as the interviewees? That’s correct, I did.I hope you experience these great things like I did with the Law of Attraction. Really checkout Manifestation Miracle.
How many starts does the average vehicle starter go through before needing replacement?
This is an interesting question, since there is no counter that displays number of starts. Last summer I replaced the starter on my Honda Minivan. It had 95,000 miles. Internet research showed a similar mileage pattern for other starter failures with the same vehicle. So lets just say that a starter is good for about 100,000 miles. We drive the car 12,500 miles a year, so that's 8 years. With four kids and two careers, the minivan sometimes resembled a taxi service. So let's just say average of five starts a day for 330 days a year. That would amount to 1650 cranks per year. Approximately 13,200 cranks during it's 8-year useful life. However, I don't think a new starter would fail after being given 15,000 or even 20,000 cranks in a much shorter period of time. say a year or two. Here's why:A starter motor is DC brushed electrical motor, driven by the battery, with some special gearing to engage the car engine flywheel during the start sequence. I'll ignore any component failures between the ignition switch and the starter motor than can fail and render a car unable to start, including the starter solenoid. So if a starter fails, it generally means either :1: the motor contacts (brushes) have worn out (starter motor shaft can turn but electric motor has failed)2: Bearings have frozen and shaft cannot spin even if it receives torque from the motor3: Bearings and brushes are fine, but gear engagement is hindered. This is pretty rare. Brushes wear out through normal use (actually rub out like a hard pencil lead) so the useful life of the brushes could correlate directly to a number of rotations. Bearings, however, not only wear out from rotations, but are susceptible to environmental degradation (salt air, dirt and moisture that gets past the seals, etc.) so there is a time and environment component that would shorten its life. So too many variable to give a number of rotations or starts . That's why I would say 100K is about right for a starter. Your mileage may vary. :-) Here's a link with an elementary overview and some good troubleshooting tips.Starter motor, starting system
What's the difference between Tiptronic and automatic transmissions?
A Tiptronic transmission is an automatic transmission that includes an option to switch out of automatic mode and upshift or downshift by using paddles behind the steering wheel or by using the gear lever itself. The name Tiptronic is a registered trademark that is owned by car manufacturer Porsche. In Tiptronic, manual shifting is controlled through buttons with a plus sign for up-shifting and a minus sign for down-shifting. This is similar to what many sports cars use in order to give an authentic feel. While the first system was originally produced by Porsche, later systems have adopted similar technology, with the same name.Tiptronic systems allow drivers to choose whether they want to drive automatic, where the computer does gear shifting or manual mode where the driver has the opportunity to change the gear. Other systems have tried to emulate the feel of manual without giving you full control, but the Tiptronic transmission is the first device that offers a choice. The system has safeguards in place that keep drivers from going past the RPM red line when operating under manual control. If drivers fail to use manual shifting for a certain amount of time with Tiptronic, the software on the transmission automatically switches back to automatic and controls all shifts through the computer once again. It is then necessary to turn it on again to go back to manual.The Tiptronic, is also known as manumatic transmission, so allows the user to shift gears without having to operate a clutch. The system has built-in safety features so that the transmission cannot be damaged in the event of driver error. The technology is licensed for use by other manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Audi, Seat, Skoda and Land Rover.
What is the average cost to replace brakes and rotors?
If there is one component of a vehicle that should be well maintained, invested in and understood, it is the brakes on your car. Having a quality, well-installed and reliable brake system is absolutely vital to the safety of yourself, your passengers and other drivers on the road.It costs an average of $100 to $300 per axle to get pads replaced by a professional service center or mechanic. The pads themselves range from $35 to $150 for a set of 4 (one axle), depending on the material and quality of the pads and the make and model of your vehicle.If the front right wheel’s pads need to be replaced, you should get the ones on the front left wheel replaced at the same time to ensure that both sides wear out uniformly and prevent the car from pulling to one side when you press the brake.If your rotors need to be replaced as well, this could end up running you around $250 to $500 total (including pad replacement). Rotors themselves range from $30 to $75 each (some higher performance rotors are $100+). Prices depend heavily on type, quality and brand.Here you can find top rated sites that sell the best and highest quality auto parts online for good price and free shippingCar PartsAuto Parts WarehouseAdvance Auto PartsJC WhitneyOscaroGet All PartsIn addition, if the calipers (which are responsible for closing and retracting the pads) need replacing, you’re looking at a parts cost of $70 to $130 each for a common make and model or $100-$300+ for a high end vehicle. Rear calipers cost slightly more than those for the front.A complete brake repair job for one wheel including pad replacement, new calipers, rotors and labor can cost anywhere from $300 to $800.
