Which Side Of the Car Is Your Fuel Door Is On?

Quick question, which side of your car is your gas tank on? If you are anything like me, you probably can’t remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don’t do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.

1988 Chrysler Le baron Convertible

I own a 1988 Chrysler Le baron Convertible. I would be happy to subscribe to your “On Line Car Repair Manual” if it would help me make minor repairs to this car. My current problem is that the Headlight doors operate intermittently. Open all the way but most of the time close only partially. Also the top raising and lowering is starting to have problems.

How Can I Save Gas In My Car?

A guy I know was saying how he thinks he can save on gas by turning the engine off when going downhill and coast without polluting at the same time. As for myself I sometimes turn the engine off when in the line up of a long red light or in the drive through for these reasons although it’s not significant money saved.

2001 VW Jetta Door Locks – Trunk and Windows Stopped Working

I have a 2001 TDI Jetta which is doing the craziest thing. None of my windows roll down, the car no longer automatically locks when I put it in drive, but I can lock them manually, and my trunk is locked and can not be opened with the remote, manually by the key or the trunk release button. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? All of my fuses including the master fuses above the battery are good. Thank you for your help.
