Replying to: outlandersd (Sep 06, 2009 4:33 pm) The piece of heat shield on the pipe didn't look like it did much. Not like a shield on the catalytic converter. The shield didn't have much of an air gap to the pipe (it was spot welded to the pipe, not separated from it like most other heat shields) ad there is plenty shielding the car from heat on the floorboard. The shield seemed to resonate at low rpm and was most noticeable just above engine idle (like creeping in stop and go traffic and then it would go away once above that rpm. I was curious if the bumper to bumper covers it. If so, I might have them do something, but otherwise as I said, it doesn't do much. |

I notice a slight leak behind the rear wheel ( on the driver's side) below the trunk , looks like washer fluid for the rear windscreen. Can anyone tell me how I can access this area to fix it. Thank you |

I bought my 09 outlander almost two months ago now and have had some trouble when windy. This has nothing to do with noise, it has to do with the handling. I feel like my car's getting thrown around the road when I'm traveling higher than 60mph. Even in semi normal conditions it gets shifty when passing semis and such. Today driving into work it was quite windy and I had to hold my car from moving side to side within my lane. I am wondering if anyone else has had similiar problems or any suggestions as to what may be the problem. Thanks. PS-My initial thought was that it was related to tire pressure but everything in that department is under control.

I made the bone-headed move of the century, and put 5 gallons of diesel fuel from a gas container into my vehicle thinking that it was unleaded,. My gas gauge was showing empty. I drove it about 50 yards when it started making horrible noises and smoking, then the engine stalled. I am in the process of draining the tank by removing the fuel line from the back of motor. I tried siphoning the fuel but did not have much luck and a bad experience trying that years ago. I ran a garden hose to the fuel line to the empty can and by turning the key to the on position letting the fuel pump drain the diesel. It is taking quite a while to do this because the fuel is coming out at a slow rate but never the less it is draining. I have some high-octane unleaded to put in after this process. Hopefully after draining the diesel and putting the proper fuel in the tank it will run through and be fine. My question is, did I do any serious long -term damage to my engine? Please help!!!!!!!
