I have 0 brake fluid what is stopping my car? How long will it stop?

I have broken brake lines. What is stopping my car? Will it get worse? How long can I drive b4 I have 0 brake function. I just put fluid in and it all leaked out in 5 minutes. Can I go to work and back for 2 days on the car ? It still stops I just have to put the brake to the floor.|||You better get that fixed ASAP before you kill yourself or someone else.|||if you blew a line you still have brakes in the other 2 wheels. the other 2 wheels is is what,s stopping you.|||Why? Why are you driving like this? You can get yourself, or someone else killed.


Get your brakes fixed.





You have two lines one for the front, one for the back, and if one line leaks, the other will still stop you, but if you lose all your fluid, YOU CANNOT STOP.





Get them fixed.|||no ......STOP driving it now b4 u kill someone.........u can get another job...u cannot bring someone back to life........have it fixed.....








also u can b charged criminally if u hit someone if u are knowingly driving a hazardous vehicle which u are and u know it........








so unless u like prison and can live with killing ppls kid%26#039;s get ur dam car fixed now....|||gerrald if this isnt a gag dont and I mean dont move it from the place its parked! it needs to be towed to a shop or your house if you plan to repair it. you WILL get in an accident if you attempt to drive it. the air will pump into the lines and you wont even get a little drag and everybody please, please notice this point, the emergency brake in almost all newer cars is infact NOT an emergency brake as older cars was but is a parking brake. the differance is holding a parked car isnt that demanding so less pressure is needed. the modern park brake is usually much much smaller surface as most of our cars use rear disc and the drum for disc park brakes is 1/2 the size and the pads are half as thick. use them yes but only if no option to stop. ! time only!

How to fix a broken driver side interior door handle for 2001 Toyota Corolla?

Ok, a long time ago, the handle broke off. My BF taught me how to pull on the nub and still open from the inside. After a few months, it got pulled out and broken. Well, he went ahead and took off the whole handle frame and now its just a hole on the inside of my car door.





When I shut my door, you can hear that something is loose in there. Now, here is the question...





Do I need just a new handle or do I need to get an old door from a junkyard for more parts needed?





Thanks to all!|||salvage handle will work just fine shouldnt need anything else.|||you can get a new one around 20.00 bucks and the noise you here is just the rod cause the handle is missing i would not buy a used handle cause it will be ready to brake to|||the ratteling you hear is the actuating rod for the old handle. salvage parts are an excellent choice-be sure you take the actuating rod lock


piece (probably plastic) cuz yours may be forever missing. remove inside door panel. about a 20 minute job, once you have the parts.|||you can replace just the handle. available at a dealer or wrecking yard if you want to take the time to pull 2 door panels apart!!!|||for now.............remove the one on the rear door ut on the front|||It%26#039;s probably the control rod bouncing around in the door that%26#039;s making the noise you%26#039;re hearing, as it is no longer connected to the door handle. All you need is an inside door handle, and I would go to the wreckers to get one, because sometimes a couple little extra things are needed, and it will be a lot cheaper too.

How Do I Get Him To Talk To Me And Let Him Know I'm Interested!?!!?!!?!!?

Heyy.. so there was this guy in the year above at school (he%26#039;s nearly 19 now, i%26#039;m nearly 18) and I thought he was really really hot. He always used to stare at me (his friends did too) and I know he found me attractive because nearly every time I was in a room with him, he would be staring looking over at me, and when i looked over he would keep staring so I noticed him. My friends noticed too. His big group of friends always used to stare aswell. He drove past me at a bus stop once and slowed right down on a main road and almost stopped the car because he was staring at me!


I saw him at a mutual friends (kind of) party and I was pretty drunk but I would be dancing, and then look up and he was just watching me.. like he was trying to get my attention... but didn%26#039;t know what to say. Then when I got really quite drunk I walked into the garden where about 12 guys were standing in a cricle. I lay on the floor (haha) because I was boiling and they were all like %26quot;you%26#039;ll catch pneumonia!%26quot; and then some of them tried to help me up, and the guy i%26#039;m talking about held me up by my waist because I kept falling down. I was drunk so I didn%26#039;t know what to say without sounding like an idiot! WHen his friends went in it was just me and him outside and I was lying down and he was just standing over me. If I wasn%26#039;t drunk it would have been really awkward.. and he never said anything! I don%26#039;t really remember what happened next but I think he pulled me up....


but I just wish he would have spoken to me!! Do you think he thinks I don%26#039;t like him now because I didn%26#039;t say anything to him? And do you think he was just shy and didn%26#039;t know what to say??


I am worried it%26#039;s put him off me, or he thinks i%26#039;m not interested (people say i don%26#039;t look like the kind of person who is shy, but I am with guys I like! but he doesn%26#039;t know that).


Anywyay hes gonna be at a party in 2 weeks of one of my good friends and I don%26#039;t know how to get him to approach me and show him i%26#039;m interested/? Please helpp! Thanks xxxxx|||Just try talking to him first. I bet there will be positive effects, cause he%26#039;s been staring at you and all, which means he%26#039;s definitely interested! Goodluck!|||Well me and you are sort of in the same situation. Well this is my plan next time I see him I%26#039;ll limit myself to one drink and then go over to him and talk to him. Then I%26#039;ll say I%26#039;ve got to get home, but I%26#039;d like to continue this conversation and then ask him if he has a phone.|||How about this? How about you approach him instead? Besides, your over thinking this way too much.

How to fix Passenger Mirror motor of a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D (W123)?

Yeah... apparently, this is my first car. o_O; Trust me, the car is awesome--but slow as crap. The passenger-side mirror, the motorized one, isn%26#039;t working. I mean, it goes up and down and side to side, but it clicks when I want it to come in more. It%26#039;s kind of difficult when you have to rely on your passenger, and the rear-view mirror to change lanes when you%26#039;re a first-year driver. Is there any way to fix this? There%26#039;s absolutely nothing on Google on how to fix this. I heard that it probably has some junk inside the motor... but I dunno. Help? ^^;|||those mirrors only go so far as far as in and out, if you think it has a problem you will more than likely have to replace the complete mirror.

Seat belt caught in car door?

My son closed the passenger car door catching the seat belt buckle in it. I cant open it or lock the car any ideas please how to fix this. Please sensible ways of dealing with this problem not I have received several humorous but of little help suggestions.|||Open it from the inside when you can put enough pressure on the door to get it open|||I%26#039;m afraid you%26#039;ll have to force it with a jemmy or something.

HOW DO I RESET MY MAINTENANCE LIGHT IN MY 2009 JETTA?

I just got an oil change and now every time I turn my car on the little wrench light pops up briefly. The worker told me there is a way to reset it but I couldn%26#039;t find it in the owners manual. Does anyone know how to do this or what page of the manual I might find it on?|||Take an hour or so and actually READ the whole manual. You have a VERY special car here. If you cannot find the answer here, then find a library that carries the %26quot;ALLDATA%26quot; data base. It will tell you more than you even WANT to know about your entire car!! Hopefully, you have read the section that spells out EXACTLY what oils can be used in your car. I have a feeling that you did NOT go to the dealership for your oil change, even though they are FREE under your car warranty. If you ever have engine trouble, you will have to have receipts to PROVE that you have been using oil that meets specification 502/505. WHAT IS THIS, hyou ask??? Synthetic ONLY oil made SPECIALLY for use in Audi/VW products. Mobile One 0W-40 is one. ALWAYS read the label of the oil you buy for this car. DO NOT GET FOOLED by quicky lubes that offer bulk oils that don%26#039;t meet your specs!!! If you had gone to the dealer, they would have reset your light for FREE!! TRY CALLING THE DEALERSHIP. They will help you understand what to do!!!

How do I report a Chevrolet dealership to its corporate offices?

I traded in an older Lexus for a 1 year old Chevrolet. Unfortunately, and as I learned later, the Lexus%26#039;s title was bad due to a mistake made by a county clerk. So, the finance officer at the dealership said he would give me $1000 out of his pocket outright for the Lexus, bad title and all. I agreed.





I got a $2000 rebate on the purchase of the Chevrolet. $1000 in cash and the other $1000 in a check from Chevrolet.





When I returned a few days later for the $1000 check. The finance officer got in my face about how the Lexus broke down on him and how he has to spend $1,200 on a new engine, etc.





I told him that I%26#039;d go 50 / 50 with him on a new engine, so I signed over the $1000 check to him and said we%26#039;d get straight later.





A day or two later he said I couldn%26#039;t sign over a check like that and if I could, would I please go with him to the bank, cash the check and give him the cash. I did.





Every following inquiry to him afterwards about a reciept for the new motor and installation was met with hostility by him. I went and told the GM of the dealership about it and he was hostile also.





I went back to demand to see the car and get a receipt for the motor and he got into the typical salesman shpeel about how I%26#039;m playing games etc. I took the high road and left it at that. If $1000 is gonna break me that doesn%26#039;t say much for me, and speaks volumes about him.





I do think it%26#039;s necessary for Chevrolet%26#039;s corporate offices to be informed of this kind of practice by thier own people.





This is Munday Chevrolet in North Houston / Spring, TX.





What corporate office would be the best one to contact?





Thanks|||Sounds like both parties here were trying to pull something. If you had title %26quot;mistakes%26quot; why didn%26#039;t you get them fixed first?

The only real fix is a trip to the alignment shop.





If you fail to have the car aligned your tires will wear out quickly. Kind of like a pay me now or pay me more later situation.





Usually from $50 - $60 to have only the front aligned. From $100 - $125 to have all 4 wheels aligned. The alignment shop determines if a 4 wheel alignment is required.

How much better performance will i get with 91 octane compared to 87?

my car has an engine that has a compression ration of 10.5 to 1 and it says that it can support 87 because it has retard ignition but how much performance am i loosing. how much more performance will 91 give me?|||I know you%26#039;ll hear that if a vehicle was made to run on low octane then it%26#039;s OK to use low octane. In MY experience, I have learned the hard way that better gas usually means less car repairs. So what I am saying is: Do you want to pay more for gas? OR for more car repairs?





(tune-ups etc.)





If you don%26#039;t want your vehicle to start stalling, buy the better gas.|||It is not bad for your engine, but is a waste of your money.





The only difference between premium fuel and regular fuel is the octane rating. It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the fuel.





The octane rating is the fuel%26#039;s resistance to spontaneous combustion under compression. The higher the octane rating, the more compression it takes to make the fuel spontaneously combust.





A high compression engine requires higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. Detonation is a condition where the fuel air mixture ignites while being compressed before the spark plug fires. Detonation can cause serious internal damage to an engine.





Your car is well suited for 91 octane premium. But can run on 87 octane. You may lose some performance. But when was the last time you won or lost a race with this car? The little bit of performance loss would only be noticed when you are hard on the throttle. How oftern and how long do you drive at wide open throttle?





The higher octane fuel may make your car run a little better. But will do nothing to prevent any maintenance or make it last any longer. You will give the oil companies more money than you need to. I think they make enough money already.





The link below will tell you all about how gasoline works. The 4th page of the article explains octane.





I personally would run a couple of tanks of 87 octane. Keep a log of your fuel mileage. Average the results from your 87 octane tanks. Also keep track of the cost of each fill up. Then run a few tanks of 92 octane. Keep a log of the fuel mileage. Average the results. Again, keep track of the price of the fuel. Then figure out how much it costs per mile to drive with either fuel to see if you come out ahead.|||Higher octane is not %26quot;better gas.%26quot; It%26#039;s a slower burning gas to deter pre-ignition in high compression engines. Using it in an engine that is not high compression and was designed for use with 87 octane will result in unburned fuel residue that will collect on the valves and possibly in the top of the compression chambers. Use the fuel the manufacturer specifies.|||truth be told, there%26#039;s not really that much benefit from 91 octane save your money|||you will probably lose 5-10 horse power if you car was designed to run with 91 octane. even though your car can retard the timing on your car that does not mean you should use 87, you will notice the different in power and you might not like how it drives when you have to pass someone on the highway. dont use 87 because it is cheaper at this time other than paying 4 bucks for 91. the way your car was designed it was designed to run 91

How long will it take for my credit to get better?

My husband and I claimed bankruptcy at the start of the year, and we are now having a baby. We are okay financially, and don%26#039;t have many bills. But, we would like to trade in our car for something a little bigger. Our car is not too old, so we don%26#039;t HAVE to trade it in, but we would like to for something bigger and safer. My score is around 550 I think..the vantage is 646. Anyway, if we save up a few thousand dollars will it help? Also, when should we trade it in? Should we wait until the bankruptcy has been discharged for two years??|||Depending on the type of bankruptcy, it will take 7 to 10 years after filing, and yes, then you have to wait for 2 more years after the discharge, for your credit to completely heal. That is a long time. Because of the bankruptcy, lenders will be very weary about lending any money to you and your husband.





The higher down payment you have, the more likely that you%26#039;ll be approved for a credit account like a car loan. You may be able to offset the damage that the bankruptcy has done a little bit if you apply and get approved for a secured credit card.





Other than that, I would suggest to save up for a large down payment to go with your trade-in for when you do need a safer vehicle. Just save up for everything.





Good luck.|||Although it stays on your credit report for 10 years, you should be able to re-establish your credit after 2 to 3 years.

A car traveling 88km/h is 110m behind a truck traveling 75km/h. how long will it take to reach the truck?

The car is traveling 13km/h faster than the truck so the question is how long does a car traveling at 13 km/h take to close a distance of 110m. First I would convert the 110m into km so the units of distance are the same: 110m = .110 km.





Using the formula distance = rate*time and solving for time, we have time = distance/rate = .110 km/13km/hr = 0.00846 hours = 30.5 seconds (approximately).

How much better performance will i get with 91 octane compared to 87?

my car has an engine that has a compression ration of 10.5 to 1 and it says that it can support 87 because it has retard ignition but how much performance am i loosing. how much more performance will 91 give me?|||I know you%26#039;ll hear that if a vehicle was made to run on low octane then it%26#039;s OK to use low octane. In MY experience, I have learned the hard way that better gas usually means less car repairs. So what I am saying is: Do you want to pay more for gas? OR for more car repairs?





(tune-ups etc.)





If you don%26#039;t want your vehicle to start stalling, buy the better gas.|||It is not bad for your engine, but is a waste of your money.





The only difference between premium fuel and regular fuel is the octane rating. It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the fuel.





The octane rating is the fuel%26#039;s resistance to spontaneous combustion under compression. The higher the octane rating, the more compression it takes to make the fuel spontaneously combust.





A high compression engine requires higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. Detonation is a condition where the fuel air mixture ignites while being compressed before the spark plug fires. Detonation can cause serious internal damage to an engine.





Your car is well suited for 91 octane premium. But can run on 87 octane. You may lose some performance. But when was the last time you won or lost a race with this car? The little bit of performance loss would only be noticed when you are hard on the throttle. How oftern and how long do you drive at wide open throttle?





The higher octane fuel may make your car run a little better. But will do nothing to prevent any maintenance or make it last any longer. You will give the oil companies more money than you need to. I think they make enough money already.





The link below will tell you all about how gasoline works. The 4th page of the article explains octane.





I personally would run a couple of tanks of 87 octane. Keep a log of your fuel mileage. Average the results from your 87 octane tanks. Also keep track of the cost of each fill up. Then run a few tanks of 92 octane. Keep a log of the fuel mileage. Average the results. Again, keep track of the price of the fuel. Then figure out how much it costs per mile to drive with either fuel to see if you come out ahead.|||Higher octane is not %26quot;better gas.%26quot; It%26#039;s a slower burning gas to deter pre-ignition in high compression engines. Using it in an engine that is not high compression and was designed for use with 87 octane will result in unburned fuel residue that will collect on the valves and possibly in the top of the compression chambers. Use the fuel the manufacturer specifies.|||truth be told, there%26#039;s not really that much benefit from 91 octane save your money|||you will probably lose 5-10 horse power if you car was designed to run with 91 octane. even though your car can retard the timing on your car that does not mean you should use 87, you will notice the different in power and you might not like how it drives when you have to pass someone on the highway. dont use 87 because it is cheaper at this time other than paying 4 bucks for 91. the way your car was designed it was designed to run 91

How long will it take for my credit to get better?

My husband and I claimed bankruptcy at the start of the year, and we are now having a baby. We are okay financially, and don%26#039;t have many bills. But, we would like to trade in our car for something a little bigger. Our car is not too old, so we don%26#039;t HAVE to trade it in, but we would like to for something bigger and safer. My score is around 550 I think..the vantage is 646. Anyway, if we save up a few thousand dollars will it help? Also, when should we trade it in? Should we wait until the bankruptcy has been discharged for two years??|||Depending on the type of bankruptcy, it will take 7 to 10 years after filing, and yes, then you have to wait for 2 more years after the discharge, for your credit to completely heal. That is a long time. Because of the bankruptcy, lenders will be very weary about lending any money to you and your husband.





The higher down payment you have, the more likely that you%26#039;ll be approved for a credit account like a car loan. You may be able to offset the damage that the bankruptcy has done a little bit if you apply and get approved for a secured credit card.





Other than that, I would suggest to save up for a large down payment to go with your trade-in for when you do need a safer vehicle. Just save up for everything.





Good luck.|||Although it stays on your credit report for 10 years, you should be able to re-establish your credit after 2 to 3 years. If you or your spouse are employed and have $500/$1000, you should be able to get a secured credit card from your bank. Make sure they belong to the credit bureau. Use it for gas and small items and always pay the balance the following month.

A car traveling 88km/h is 110m behind a truck traveling 75km/h. how long will it take to reach the truck?

The car is traveling 13km/h faster than the truck so the question is how long does a car traveling at 13 km/h take to close a distance of 110m. First I would convert the 110m into km so the units of distance are the same: 110m = .110 km.





Using the formula distance = rate*time and solving for time, we have time = distance/rate = .110 km/13km/hr = 0.00846 hours = 30.5 seconds (approximately).

We just replaced the battery in our car and now the starter is smoking what could be wrong and how do we fix i?

replace it.





go to a local junkyard and see if they have a cheap starter for your car. to find a local junkyard, check your local yellowpages.|||Either the starter is defective or the engine is seized - you better hope the starter is defective.|||sounds like you hooked it up wrong! lets see,.....red thick wire is the positive and the black thick wire is the negative. Then you have 2 or 3 little wires that hook to the solenoid depending on what model of vehicle you have. You have to put the new one in the same way the old one comes out basically. Now that wires are not connected properly you may need an auto manual are a mechanic to solve the problem. DO NOT GET A USED STARTER they are usually junk.


Is it possible that one of those little wires on the solenoid are touching metal and %26quot;grounding out%26quot;. That will smoke for sure dude.|||bad starter you fried it you have to get a new 1 you should get a new replacement for free

How to get somone to stop being obbsesed with cars 0_o?

Well, my dad is like emotionally obbsesed with cars. For example last year we saved up over 2,000 to go on vacation. we saved for like 3 years. The day we get it cashed in, My dad buys a new moater and windows for the car. i mean sure his cars are cool their like 1966 cougars and tempistes or whatever but it ruins my life. i cant even get a basketball hoop because hes afraid ill break the window with the basketball. If he can Collexct cars as a hobbie i can play basketball. Am i wrong? We have 6 cars and no room for them.


3 trucks


66%26#039; Tempiest

67 Gto


How can i get him to not be so obbsesed??|||You should try to enjoy the cars and learn about them. They are a visceral connection to an era of America he feels is slipping away. He probably sees them as very legitimately rare and valuable collectibles that can easily triple in value in 10-20 years. And they are priceless if one can have such a machine and afford to really drive it and use it as a passenger car.





Has someone passed away in the family, such as a grandfather or uncle, that used to own the cars or similar vehicles? Perhaps he is coping with a loss and this is his way to deal with grieving.











Show him some respect and play basketball somewhere else. Invite him to play ball with you or do other sports. Talk to your mother or other close family about the spending problem, and do not confront your father about his spending. If it was money that you (and other members) contributed expressly for a vacation, then he should feel guilty. But if it was his own money, you have no right to object, even if you feel inconvenienced by his choice to spend it elsewhere.|||Unfortunately you can%26#039;t really change people. But you can let him know how his behavior makes you feel. If you feel like you%26#039;re wants are less important than his, let him know it.

PLEASE HELP .... anyone who knows how to drive a motorcycle ......?

I am going for a bike license test . pls verify my knowledge of bike Controls :


The left side of bike is for speed and gear shifting . the right side is for breaks .


Throttle is on both sides . Clutch on left side near throttle . front break on right side near throttle .


the rear brake is near to my right . the gear stick is near my left leg .


gear stick works like : 1st gear all way down . neutral half click up . 2nd gear a complete click up . more upper clicks result in 2nd , 3rd , 4th gear so on .





please answer some of my questions :


1) what exactly is a throttle in a bike ? Is it similar to accelerator in a car ?


2) how to move the throttle for accelerating the bike ? how to rotate it ?


3)after putting in the key in key hole , how to start the bike ? i see a switch near right handle grip , but some bikes have a push down lever for starting .


thanks|||you really need lessons on how to operate a bike,let alone ride it and pass a test. any instructor will tell you the basics before you even get near the bike. no offence but you dont seem to know anything about what you%26#039;re about to undertake and you%26#039;ll end up hurt or dead if you carry on as you are. please get lessons mate,its not as easy as just taking a test. you%26#039;ll be throwing your test fees down the toilet.|||Please ask this question the Street bike section.

You turn the key to the right until the engine turns on then let the key go ( make shure the bike is in nuetral which in in between first and second rear.) The right lever is for the front brakes.

How long does it take to flush out a radiator for my car?

I am going to get my radiator flushed out ,i am wondering how long will this take and how much do you think a mechanic will charge for doing this|||Hello, this all depends on how you go about doing it. 1) draining the cooling system with the thermostat out, then filling it with water while the drain plugs are open until clean water comes out, then turn off the water and let it empty out, put the NEW thermostat back in and close the drain plugs and fill with a 50/50 mix of coolant and run it until the thermostat opens and top off as necessary and put the radiator cap back on. This can take all day if you are doing this by yourself and the cost is just materials. 2) You can take it to a Automotive Technician who will use special machine%26#039;s to power flush your cooling system in about one hour if everything is in good shape. This is the best method for cars and trucks if you like keeping your maintenance up, but this can cost a lot depending on the situation of the cooling system. This should be done every two years or 24000 miles. Good Luck|||A mechanic will charge about 拢25.00 per hour depending where you go, if it needs flushing do it your self with bicarbonate of soda crystals in the rad add warm water to dissolve the crystals then flush out with a hose pipe ,but remember to undo bottom hose ,simple and cheap,but why do you think it needs flushing?
