repair

Hey everyone. So I am about to embark on my first time repairing something I would have usually pivoted to a trained mechanic for. My fuel pump went out on me last week. I knew it was a fairly simple (in theory) repair seeing as it's a drop-in replacement with the right tools and precautions. I...

Has anyone tried to repair (not replace) the shift knob trigger for an automatic transmission? The repair kit includes the trigger, spring and the part that the trigger pushes. Can it be installed without removing the knob?

I was driving around and pushing the car hard when all of a sudden it started to brake and then immediately gave an engine light and a service stabilitrak warning while also cutting the engines power. I managed to limp the car back home and the next day I got a code reader and it gave me 6...

Hello everyone, There was recently a storm here in California but it has been dry this week. Just on Monday (December 2nd) I noticed when I got in my car (a 1999 Buick Century Custom) in the morning that the inside of the front windshield had a significant amount of condensation on it. My...

Hello, I've owned my Park Avenue for about five years, and it's been driving smoothly until recently. My car stalls randomly, leaving me stranded too many times to count. I've replaced the spark plugs and the battery but to no avail. I took it to a mechanic and they couldn't diagnose it...

I hope this is the right place for this. I have a 2000 Park Avenue Ultra. 121,000 miles. Well cared for all its life. However, the service engine light came on a few months ago and it’s showing a PO 171–left bank 1 too lean. I have taken my car to two Buick dealers and five independent...

Hi, Earlier this week my girlfriends car got rear ended and naturally it belonged to her grandma and holds a lot of sentimental value. Side note, my girlfriends grandma passed and she's selling me the car since it reminds her of her grandma so that way she knows it will be taken care of but she...

I have a 1968 Buick Electra with a fairly new exhaust system. After 20 minutes of driving the inside of the car as well as my hair and clothing smells of exhaust smoke. I also get a bit of a headache. I’ve taken the car to several mechanics and they can’t find any major exhaust leaks. There is a...

This problem started with a Coolant leak. I just picked up this car, I Identified the Area of the leak after I let it Idle for 15 minutes, (it was the water pump Gasket if you want to know), but I noticed that only one fan was kicking on. I was wondering if this was normal. Please replay soon...

Hello Folks. I am trying to find out if an issue is a common flaw. Sixth Generation Buick Century's (1997-2005) Maybe all W-Bodies, or even all GM's of the era, I am not sure. But lets focus on Sixth Gen Century's, for now. I remember seeing all kinds of electrical gremlins being...

I accidentally hit the back of a car today (they are okay, no big damage, we are getting that situation taken care of). The only damage on my car was a dented front license plate and the front Buick logo fell off. I couldn't retrieve it due to it landing in the middle of an extremely busy road...

I live in Florida and we've been getting a lot of rain this summer. I recently noticed that with all of this rain, my hatch on the back of my 2006 Rendezvous has been filling up with water making it excessively heavy. Do y'all know of any way to either get the water to leak out or what to...

Can someone tell me what is this valve/part?. My hose there is a little bit broken and I think I will need to replace it. But i don't know what it is. Thanks

2001 PA 280,000 miles. This fall replaced the radiator,thermostat as well as performing numerous flushes since the system was so gunked up with what appeared to be that stop-leak bandaid. Previous to these repairs, I bypassed the heater core in order to make it home...suspected there was a leak...

Hello, I used a forum similar to this when I owned BMW's and found them very helpful! OK - So I drive a 2011 Buick Regal CXL (Non Turbo) with aprox 93k miles on it. I'm the second owner and I'll cut to the chase here.. The car has been good to me minus little repairs here and there, tires...

Hello this is my first thread on this forum and I'm dumbfounded as to what I've found and need some help. I replaced rear pads and rotors on a 2005 Century with disc brakes with the drum-in-hat style parking brake system. I found that the parking brake would only hold in drive, but would...
