recently bought a used '96 golf for $1500, 162,000 miles. so far, issues are
>AC doesn't work
>car sometimes makes odd buzzing sound on turns
>potential oil and/or gas leak
what might be causing these, how much might they cost to fix, and what are some other issues I should look out for? everything else seems to be good, which is why I got it (all other cars I tried in my budget range had issues with brakes, transmission, suspension, etc, or just had way too many miles)
car pictured is not mine
bumping for an answer
will take pics of the car soon, anything in particular I should show?

you overpayed by about $1500
What is a muffler bearing
Pretty self-explanatory desu senpai
Ask your local auto parts store.
>>17549017
You are being pranked fucktard. Mufflers don't have bearings. The encabulator already takes care for any alternate phase counter motions.

Turbo V6's are clearly better than V8's for track performance. Why would you want extra weight if you're trying to create a lightweight track vehicle?
Someone actually still thinks this is funny and probably giggles to themselves everytime they repost it.

this is true
I have an interesting project. Just got a 2002 Audi A6 Quattro from a guy for free. Dealer's mechanic diagnosed it as having broken timing belt, bent valves and a repair bill more than the value of the car. So my friend says, "Anon, want it? It's going to the scrap yard otherwise."
So I ran down and look. Timing belt looks OK. Tight, teeth not chewed up, some rubber shavings, but not bad for 100K miles. I towed the car home and got the title. The symptom of it's demise was overheat, at which point my friend pulled it over and stopped to let it cool down. Then engine would not turn over. I suspect that the water pump may have seized and, once shut off, the starter is incapable of turning the car over. I need to check the timing to see if the belt has jumped or not. If not, I will risk replacing belt, water pump and misc tensioners and pulleys and then starting it up. If it has jumped, I'll pull the heads and look at the valves.
So far, Googling has shown the use of camshaft locking tools (pic related) to actually do the replacement. But my questions is: Are there any timing marks on the cam and crank pulleys that one can use for a diagnosis before digging further into the engine? Other engines I've worked on have crank TDC and crank pulley index marks one can use. But Google is mute on the subject.
might help if you told us what kind of fucking engine it has.

Sorry about that. It's a 3.0L V6 type AVK.
Bump for interest

Why do people hate the R33? Mine has 400hp and people still ask why I bought an R33? I'm not too bothered but curios as to why
because people are stupid????
>>17548534
I'm just wondering if there's a legitmate arguement
Because its not an R32 or R34. That's literally it, they assume you were too poor for either of those, despite R33s being great in their own right
>2018 Honda Accord looks like shit!
I'm definitely getting the BMW 440i at the end of this year then!!
>fuck getting a well equipped economy commuter, I'd rather get an entry level luxury car
Literally aren't even in the same market you fucking memester
The interior of the Accord will be better. Also, the coupe is delicious.

I kinda like it
Hi guys. I'm going to be getting a bike relatively soon and I am considering getting a small truck to take it along with me instead of my current Mazda 3. The sticky has some options, but what truck offers the best gas mileage (I know this is not as great in a truck) and most comfort.
Dirtbike I assume? Ranger is always a good buy, get 4x4 though if you're riding anywhere on private property, entrances usually become mud pits.
"small trucks" get shit MPG too
its a secret nobody tells you until you buy one and get 10mpg city
no joke
unless the truck is from 2008 and beyond its only going to get maybe around 15mpg city
just buy a cheap fullsized suv, then buy a bike trailer
If your real concern is mileage. Then find an '87 Isuzu p'up with the diesel and feed it waste oils.
Otherwise all the small trucks of similar ages are similarly bad or good in mileage.
Ideally you'd just grab a trailer to stick on the back of your Mazda 3

>25 years old, no driver's license
>take 3 lessons, doing pretty decently
>have no friends to practice with, parents won't practice with me either, can't get enough practice to do really well
>haven't driven in a month
>will never get license, will never stop being a loser
>still have never parallel parked, parked in a parking space, or driven on the freeway
Sigh
>Have no friends
Same desu, I think it's actually destroying my sanity month after month knowing that I don't have anyone to talk to outside of my family
so what do you think is gonna happen bud sitting around moping about not having a license huh? man the fuck up, find SOMEONE to practice with, it cant be that hard.
Also, parking in a parking space is easy as fuck, so is driving on the freeway. Parallel parking is the hardest, so focus on getting better at that. That's it.
>>17548162
im not moping, im just disappointed that i cant really practice with anyone outside of the lessons. its like people who play an instrucment and dont practice outside of their weekly lessons
