OK, different question there are cars that use regular gas (87)
and the premium cars use (91+)
what is the 89 octane fuel good for ?Finally I found this in the owners manual:
One of the most convenient and
important features of the multiinformation
display on your vehicle
is the maintenance minder.Based on engine operating
conditions and accumulated engine
revolutions, the onboard computer in
your vehicle calculates the remaining
engine oil life.Therefore after 3500 miles I changed the oil the computer calculated 60% and the oil was black and dirty
I had a similar situation before, I did replace the thermostat and that was the problem
If u go to a local auto parts sore u might get a lower temp thermostat, u have to get it from the dealer for your car (I did and fixed the problem)
Take out the thermostat, put it in a pot of water and start heating it on the stove and check the temp with a cooking thermometer.Hope u find the problem
ok, same thing happened to me
for old cars, they dont make new brake caliper, they refurbish the ones people take back as core
so you bought 2 brand new looking old used calipers just like i did
Try to buy a complete assembly the bracket and the caliper together, I had better luck with the comboVery simple here is what you do
the next size up is the M15 thread
and now you ask what is the pitch and the answer is this
if you buy a M15x1 bolt than you drill a 14mm hole =0.551 drill
if you buy a M15x1.5 bolt than you drill a 13.5mm hole = 0.531 drill
if you buy a M 15x whatever than you drill a 15 minus the whatever hole, and tap it!!!!!!!Let us know how it went
I understand My Acura needs premium fuel because the octane and ……………………………………………………..
But $0.80 ?????? I remember when premium was $0.30 more than regular
Even two mo ago it was $0.50-0.65 more depends on gas station
Today is +$0.80 bend overSbi !
I have the exact same problem on my Honda !
I changed the caliper (new), silicone the pins, flush the fluid, even changed the brake hose (new) and my car still doing what you described only on one rear wheelBottom line I took out the metal spring from the caliper and where the pads sit, now the pads are making noise going down the road but least I know they are loose (only on the problem wheel)
It will work for 3-4 weeks and they will lock up again, and I don`t know why !
Good luck and keep us posted if you find the cause
Good god! I pay 15-20 cents more a LITER for premium. I try to go to Costco for gas, as I have no choice but to run premium in my car and the price is usually barely more than everyone else pays for regular. I’m regularly close to both Costco gas bars in town, but the surrounding areas are just too horrible to go through. There is a chain that gives you a decent rebate every year, but their gas has just proved to not be good enough for whatever reason. Their premium hates turbo charged cars. So there’s a gas station that sells 93 octane, that’s what I try to use.[/quote]
DaFirnz !
15-20 cents more / LITER ?????????????
15 Cents / Liter = 0.15*3.785= 0.56 cents / gallon more
20 Cents/ Liter =0.20*3.785= 0.75 cents / gallon
Same as my +0.65 c / gallon more at any gas stationAll right here is the update
I did get the new brake hose installed, the caliper was new a yr ago it is working perfect the seal looks new the piston move easy, the pins lubed with 3m silicone paste and move easy and for some reason the brake was still grabbing after I let off the brake pedal
I was thinking what is the reason for the pads to loosen after I take my foot off the pedal and how can I make it move
I put a washer under only one bolt of the of the bracket, making the assembly a tiny bit twisted to the brake disc, and it works!!!!
It loosens the pads after I let off the brake, BUT will see maybe 5 or 6 mo later the pads might wear parallel again and I might have the same problem
I will be back here let you all know what happenedupppssss sorry, I did write piston but I mean caliper is new I didn`t rebuilt it I bought a new one and the lubricant on the pins 3m silicon paste
