#1717 of 1724 Re: A question about my tires [autonomous] by jboz29 Jul 30, 2009 (7:25 am)
Replying to: autonomous (Jul 28, 2009 1:33 pm) Thnx for the reply. Another question. I have 19,700 miles on them. Should i just buy anew tire and get aligned? Like I said all other tires have nice deep tread. The other one is bold in places and dont want to have a blowout. How will this affect the ride if i did buy a new tire.   TIA   Jack Replies to this message: autonomous (Aug 03, 2009 12:39 pm)
#1718 of 1724 Need help with cruise by grandpa1041 Jul 30, 2009 (5:05 pm)
Big dummy thought I had got cruise but did not. I would like to know how you find the VSS on a 2009 Accent with Auto Trans and if that is how they hook up the after market cruise controls for a transaxle. I have put a couple on with magnets but have no idea how to hook it up for this car. Also what kit would be best for this car since there are knobs sticking out both sides of steering wheel. I probably need a vacuum resavoir also. Really appreciate any help, I have a broken pelvic and need to move that right leg once in a while.

Riding with one new tire and three others with close to 20K may be somewhat noticeable. But, in my opinion, that would be better than driving with an unsafe tire. I would call a tire shop and get their opinion - I would expect most reputable tire shops would not charge you for an opinion. Good luck!
#1720 of 1724 Need answer about my tires by jboz29 Aug 05, 2009 (2:37 pm)
I went today to get my front end aligned and when the did the computer check it showed front left .70 out of line on the camber and .90 on right front. Then they told me that there are no adjustments on the camber. Is this true and is this going to keep ruining my tires. The did adjust the tow in a little.   TIA   Jack Replies to this message: stephen987 (Aug 05, 2009 2:45 pm)

Replying to: jboz29 (Aug 05, 2009 2:37 pm) I've never heard of a car that had no camber adjustment. By any chance was this less than an hour before closing time?

Replying to: tomekville (Aug 27, 2009 8:00 pm) This electrical problem sounds like a bad ground. Bad grounds often happen in cars eight years or older. Try removing and cleaning both ends of the ground connection from the engine to the chassis. At the same time it might be a good idea to clean the ground points in back of the headlights.

Here we have a small economical car that just keeps going and going. I have never had a car with this much mileage, usually I get a new car. But the Accent has been running so well that I decided to get a new timing belt put in along with a new water pump. The water pump was still good, but with this much mileage it was probably time to replace it. These small engines don't like to get overheated. One problem I encountered recently was intermittent operation of the fuel pump. A couple of times the car would not start because the fuel pump would not come on. This problem was traced to the fuel pump ground making poor contact. This ground is not located near the fuel pump. It is under the driver side fuse panel. Cleaning this ground has solved the problem. I have noticed a small amount of rust through in the passenger side rear wheel well. Not bad after being outside for 10 years in the Connecticut weather and winter salt. The outside manual remote mirror adjust cable broke, I repaired this problem with a modification. Everything else is working fine, the AC is still strong, the radio plays well. A very economical car, very practical, still gets great mileage.
