#2431 of 2487 Cost to fix 97 exhaust that's hanging? by massmom23 May 12, 2009 (6:27 am)
Hubby's 97 Altima dropped it's exhaust yesterday after a few days of soundling more like a Cesna than a car. It's the round piece way up under the car and attached to a pipe. Considering the noise, I'm assuming it's the exhaust? We're on a ridiculously tight budget and cannot afford either a new car or an expensive fix. What can I do? Should I go to a repair shop what questions do I ask? What am I looking at? I'm not even sure I should be driving it with the thing hanging on the ground. Any help would be most appreciated!

Replying to: massmom23 (May 12, 2009 6:27 am) Sounds to me as if it may be a tailpipe hanger. That should be a quick and easy fix. If they can't do it, welding it on my do. That would depend on how close it is to the gast tank.Any decent mechanic could do it. I would not have a dealer do it, since that could be costly. good luck. Don't let them sell you a new exhaust system! They may try to tell you you need a new muffler. I am not familiar with the 97 setup, but on some cars you hae to but the muffler with tail pipe.Even if the noise is coming from the tail pipe, they can do a muffler weld. That is tricky and some shops will refuse to do it, claiming safety problems.

Replying to: massmom23 (May 12, 2009 6:27 am) a '97 and you may need a new exhaust. 12 years is a long time for exhaust pipes and mufflers. but in additon to the dealership, aviod Midas and Minekie. they rip you off so bad even the dealerships will blush.   just go to a respectable garage. even if you need new exaust, it can probably be done for a couple hundred.

Replying to: altimaguy3 (May 09, 2009 3:25 am) No, I have not, I will be finding out this weekend. Do your RPM's jump when it happens? Mine happens at high speeds until all the dash lights come on, then it stops.

Replying to: jd10013 (May 09, 2009 3:06 am) If there is a recall, do I qualify for the recall, even though I bought the car used? Im going to Advanced this weekend to get the code scan and find out if they know anything.
#2436 of 2487 Vent Problem by rugmankc May 17, 2009 (4:27 pm)
I have a 94 Altima, and the last year or so I have been having debris from outside come thru the vents and into the car. Some is large like whole twirly birds. The cowel screens look good and I dropped the blower motor and cleaned squirrel cage. Not much there. I think something has deteriorated and fallen out or something was removed and not replaced during some AC work done under the dash. I know nothing about this stuff, but it seems there is now a direct route from outside to the back of all the air vents inside the car, and when the fan runs this stuff is blown through all three. Air filter is in place and clean.   Need to solve this, since otherwise the car is running great.   Ken

#2439 of 2487 PCV Valve for 2006 Altima, 2.5L by jft26 Jun 09, 2009 (6:41 am)
I have 41K on my 2006 Altima 2.5L. Does anyone know the maintenance interval for the PCV Valve? How much does the dealer service cost to replace it? How easy is it to replace yourself? Thank you.

When it comes to car repair, I operate under the concept "if it ain't broken, don't fix it,"
