Unclear as to why/how that is happening? The only time I remember anything about dogs scratching cars is when dog sees a fav person sitting in driver’s or passenger's side, and so attempts to visit by springing up towards that person on side of the car, accidentally scratching the paint.By controlling the environment, you are putting yourself in leadership position, AND immediately stopping this problem from happening. By controlling the environment, you are just deciding where your little dog will be in relationship.So, again, a little unsure of how your dog is scratching your cars. One way, as I already said, is your Terrier is hanging out at home, sees you pull up in your car, and just bounces up towards the window to visit.Second option is you have a nice big garage, and you have cars you own parked there, with your Rat Terrier somehow also bunking in the garage. Possibly out of boredom, your little Rat Terrier, who are known for high energy lifestyles, gets bored so starts jumping up and down on your car's paint jobs, just to really get under your skin.Third option is your little guy and you are driving around together, in the countryside, when all of a sudden your Rat Terrier sees an unrestrained bull on the shoulder of the road, so he goes crazy whining and straining to get the bull, and accidentally scratches up the console and whatever else is scratchable.Scenario #1: Whoever is holding Terrier in the street or drive when you appear, needs to put him on a leash, and give him a little correction, ask for a sit with his attention on person holding the leash instead of your car. So by turning the unwanted behavior into desirable behavior, the car is not scratched and the Terrier gets a “good boy treat.” Win Win Win three way.SCENARIO #2 PUT him in a crate while he's trotting around causing mayhem and he'll chill. You just must offer pee breaks, and not forget about the little darling. You can't, you know, have a car washing schedule you work on, and ignore/forget dog has got to have stimulation, games played, grooming, love and attention.Scenario #3 Have him wear a leash, when you see the trigger, the bull, give him a little jerk as a correction, ask for a sit and attention. You also may consider keeping the little guys nails done, clipped and filed. I hope this helped and that your Terrier is a little more chill.
How can i get my car to stop bogging down when i press the gas pedal?
Is the car fuel injected or carbureted? Is smoke coming out of the back of the engine or out of the tail pipe? If it's coming out of the tail pipe, what color is it? If it's black, your car is running rich and wasting a lot of gas. If the smoke is white, you may have a blown head gasket which allows water to get into the cylinders. If it's blue, you're leaking oil into the cylinders probably through a valve guide. If the smoke is coming from the back of the engine, most likely it's a bad valve cover gasket. Oil drips onto the exaust manifold and turns into smoke. There are several possibilities for the chugging. If you haven't already done so, check your fuel filter. If it's dirty, change it. It could be starving for fuel. A bad vaccuum hose can cause the rpm's to go up and down. It could also effect the performance of your engine. Do you have a catalytic converter? This could collapse inside and build up too much back pressure. If your car is fuel injected, you'll have an onboard computer. Before the cat converter, and sometimes after as well, there are oxygen sensors. They tell the computer if the exaust is too rich or to lean. The computer will make adjustments accordingly. So if they're bad, they'll send the wrong information. This could make your car run bad. So do the easiest and cheapest things first. Look for a broken or disconnected vaccuum hose and change the fuel filter. A majority of the time, this will solve your problems. While your at it, check the air filter too. I hope this helps you out some. Good luck.
How to stop my car from smoking?
Hi I have an old mitsubishi lancer 1993 model. Its recently started to blow a lot of blue/white smoke. I got it checked and the mechanic said there are some tiny cracks in the 'rings', what exactly this means i have no idea... I gather it means there is some leaking oil into the valves and eventually into the pistons. The mechanic said its not worth getting is fixed because it will cost too much. A friend of mine mentioned to me about some sort of liquid you can put into your petrol tank which will seal those cracks for between 6-12 months, so just wondering if anyone knows what hes talking about? The car goes great, its just that damn smoke that is embarassing more than anything. Anyone know what i can use to stop the smoke, or know what the hell my mate is talking about, not even he knows the name of the stuff. and no its not the 'smoke stop' you get at the servos and auto barn. Cheers.
My car keeps beeping. How do I make it stop?
It is related to using the keyfob to lock the car doors. You need to try locking and unlocking the doors with the fob. If you can't lock and unlock the doors, the battery in the keyfob is probably no good. If the immobilizer can't detect the keyfob, the alarm will activate if the key is used in the ignition. This could also occur if somehow the code got scrambled. Then you need to reprogram the keyfob. You might find the procedure to reprogram on the web otherwise contact a GM dealer for it.
How do i stop my dog car sickness?
Try giving him Bach's Flower Essences, Rescue Remedy. It's an all natural remedy available in some drug stores, health food stores and holistic vets which is enough to calm a dog with none of the side effects of tranquilizers. I give it to my greyhound who has a huge fear of thunder and it's enough to hold him. I don't know the size of your dog, but he's 70 lbs. and gets 4 drops. Takes aboit 20 minutes to take effect. The only dog I've had who got car sick was better if he could see out the front window - he had to face forward. Also, we took him for lots of very short rides (like 5mins.), took him for a walk, then back home so he associated the car with fun, not trips to the vet. He totally got over it in a short time.
Worn out means worn out. It's not going to fix itself.Putting a band aid over a gunshot wound may slow the bleeding, but not cure the problem..Everyone wants the “quick , easy & cheap” fix. But, sometimes, you just cannot have what you want!Quick, easy & cheap fixes just do not happen with precision machinery like modern engines. Comparatively, the early engines (1930s) were primitive . Compared to today's, they were the quickest, easiest, cheapest way to do it. But, they were inefficient, unreliable, but easier to fix. Everything was primitive & fully mechanical. Modern engines are computer controlled, & many systems piggyback on others. If one system has a defect, it affects everything behind it.Keep adding oil to infinity, or bite the bullet & have it repaired properly. Those are your ONLY choices.
If they're favoring the mirrors and/or windows, it's because they're seeing their reflection and think that it is a competing bird in their territory. So the reason that the car is being pooped on is that the bird (it's probably just one) is spending all of its time trying to get rid of that interloper who just won't go away.About the only thing that you can do is minimize the reflections, either by minimizing the overall light level (park in a shadier area), or by putting something at least partly opaque over the mirrors, and possibly the front side windows (the windshield and rear window usually aren't a problem because of their angle).
How can I stop my car payments because i dont have the car anymore it broke down?
the clarification i began out doing my very own upkeep replaced into simply by fact i could no longer arise with the money for a mechanic or a sparkling motor vehicle. lots of the upkeep you point out you're able to do your self and in case you bypass to salvage yards restoration them for much less then what a keep might fee. a number of those might desire to be achieved in a keep, like the CV's, AC and the starter. simply by fact lots of the time a individual might get in hassle with the land lord doing them in a motor vehicle park. however the door panels and window regulators could be achieved with little extra worry then setting up a stereo. So in the previous you throw a gaggle of money on the problem (the two in fixing up or changing the motor vehicle) get a restore handbook and notice what you're entering into on gaining awareness of the thank you to restoration a motor vehicle your self. you will possibly even stumble on a restore handbook for this motor vehicle in the library and not might desire to purchase one your self to confirm the thank you to restoration a number of those issues.
It certainly can do. If you haven't changed the oil or had the car serviced then how often do you check the oil? If the answer is about as often as you have it serviced then herein could lie your problem.Over time, cars will burn small amounts of oil. Some more than others and poorly maintained cars moreso. If this is the case, your oil tank could be empty or just obtain a sludgey mess that once was oil but now contains all the grins and carbon from a poorly maintained engine and is far too thick to be pumped and lubricate your engine efficiently. If this is the case then there is a strong likelihood that your engine will seize. This is where there is no oil to lubricste and cool the moving parts of your engine - in particular the pistons inside the cylinders. The heat created by the friction causes them to expand and literally weld themselves together.At this point (and I'm no mechanic) your engine is what is known as fucked!
