#4743 of 4967 Can a Washer Reservoir Crack Be Due to Freezing ? by alternator Feb 19, 2009 (7:06 pm)
Maybe my windshield washer reservoir has cracked due to not enough deicer in the reservoir. But how can this be in that there is no real impediment to expansion of the liquid as it freezes. The cap is not tight enough to contain the expanding liquid.

Replying to: panthra (Feb 16, 2009 4:24 pm) Or it might have been your speed sensor

A reporter is looking to talk to consumers who are either fixing his/her car or having a mechanic fix up their vehicle instead of purchasing a new one. Please send your email address and phone number to ctalatiedmunds.com by Wednesday, February 25, 2009.
#4746 of 4967 Passenger side dual climate control problem by ron128 Mar 03, 2009 (5:43 pm)
2000 Volvo S80 2.9 milage 95000. Problem: Just recently the passenger side dual climate control ceased functioning - no lights, no air passing thru vents. The driver's side works perfectly. I pulled all the fuses that said climate control and replace them although the originals looked fine. That didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions other than taking to the deal, (who has taken "rip off" to new levels.
#4747 of 4967 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT Fluid Change?? by jonathann Mar 16, 2009 (6:59 am)
I have 25,000 miles on a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid and the maintenance-minder says to change the Continuously Variable Transmission fluid. The manual says the fluid should be drained and refilled, then the car should be driven for a short distance. This process should be repeated 3 times, then drain and refill a fourth and final time. This seems ridiculous. Why would you not just replace with new fluid every 6,000 miles instead of wasting 9 quarts of new fluid each 25,000 miles? I checked with the Honda Dealer Technician and was told no, they just drain and refill. Which procedure are you using?

Replying to: jonathann (Mar 16, 2009 6:59 am) Are you sure this is what the manual says? This sounds like the Honda instructions when, in an 'emergency' you can use Dexron auto tranny fluid in a Honda tranny. But 'as soon as possible' you are to do a 'flush' as you described with the 'correct' Honda Tranny Fluid. If they truly want to replace most of the fluid in a CVT tranny, I would have thought Honda would have designed a drain plug into it. Or required to drop the pan to make this service. My Honda Ridgeline's rear full-time rear drive differential has a fill and drain plug and it needs service at about 20,000 and then every 35,000 miles.

Replying to: bolivar (Mar 16, 2009 8:41 pm) The manual says: "To thoroughly flush the transmission, the technician should drain and refill it with Honda CVT fluid, then drive the vehicle for a short distance. Do this three times. Then drain and refill the transmission a final time." Just after that, the manual says: "The transmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid when this service is indicated by a maintenance message in the information display." The maintenance minder says: "Replace transmission fluid." I am going to take that to mean the drain and fill (once) instruction. There is no "Thoroughly Flush" instruction on the maintenance minder. Thank you for your reply. Replies to this message: bolivar (Mar 17, 2009 11:35 pm)
