How do I tell if my 2001 Chevy Blazer is equipped with a remote?
Q. I bought a used 2001 blazer and didnt get a remote door opener or door lock/unlock thingy. If I buy one from a dealer or online, how do I know if it is going to work? My options in the glove box says AU3, is this the same as AU0? Or does this mean my vehicle doesnt have remote entry?

How to adjust the side mirrors in Jetta 2001?
Q. I know it's a little stupid question, I have bought a 2001 Jetta and the seller didn't have the manual. Now, I don't know how to adjust the side mirrors. Actually, it has a switch on the left side of the driver with 3 different options (Left, Right, and a picture of windshield) I switch it to the left and right but nothing happens! Thanks for your help.

A. On the drivers side door, there should be a round dial closest to the dash. It should have 3 settings, 1. turn left for left mirror 2. center is for off 3. is for right mirror Choose the mirror you want to adjust, then push the "knob" in the direction you want the mirror to go. (up, down, left, right) after you finish adjusting, turn the "knob" back to the center position so you dont accidentally adjust mirrors afterwards.

How much should it cost to replace a 2001 Nissan Sentra expansion valve?
Q. Is this even what I should be replacing? I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra that has under 85000 miles and as of this summer the AC has stopped working. Air still blows out, but it is not cool as the compressor is not turning on. If you open the hood and take a listen, you hear no difference from when the AC is on or not. Innitially, I tried using an AC charger kit and obviously that was not the problem. Then I thought that the compressor needed to be replaced, but I think it is much too early for that to go on the car. I brought it to a mechanic that specializes in foreign cars and he said that it was the expansion valve that needed to be replaced and that it would cost $440.00. I've found the part online for $40 - does labor really need… [cont.]

A. Always get a second opinion, but it really could be that high. Depending on your location (hourly labor charges vary) the labor could be something like $65 and hour. On many cars this valve is located in the dashboard, in a box, connected to the a/c cooling lines. So this basically means, taking the coolant out of the lines with a recovery machine, taking apart the dash (in the area around the glovebox) and taking the part out, replacement of the part, pumping the system down to a vacumn to get any air out, and then refilling the coolant. This is a pretty intensive procedure, but I really cant figure out how the mechanic would determine that it was the expansion valve from what you wrote. If you tried a recharge kit, did you… [cont.]

A. Well your jeep is equipped with a 8.25 Chrysler rearend and a Dana 30 up front with 355 gear stock. A 33" tire will be ok for a while but will put alot of stress on your transfercase, transmission, axles and u joints and will wear them out quickly. If you wan to stick with the stock gear i wouldnt recommend anything larger than a 31" maybe just maybe a 32", but 31 would probably be your choice because bigger than that will ruin your gas milage VERY BAD. You can clear 31" tires with a 3" lift perfectly and will offroad great. Hope this helps

A. Actually, the best advice for your situation is to NOT remove the key from the ignition, if you can still start your car or shut it off. If you need to leave your car unattended, leave the key in the ignition with the door locked, and use your spare key. BUT, drive it straight to your nearest Ford dealer at your earliest convience and ask for part number SW-6285 to be keyed to match your key, and installed . This is the updated style lock cylinder that is used on 2005 to current model year Focuses. By taking my advice, your labour charge to replace the lock cylinder will be around $100.00, instead of $300.00 plus towing if you manage to remove the key, and end up unable to restart your vehicle.

Asked by twshadow - Wed Sep 19 12:35:32 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. What you will see is there will be a round aluminum part that will be connected to the back side of one of the idler wheels. Look at all the idler's...probably only two of them, that are smooth. The aluminum colored part will have a square that a 3/8 drive ratchet will fit into. If it does not have this...then you will see aluminum just attached to the back of the idler, that extends out. In this case, just get ( I believe a 15mm socket) and I believe you go counter clockwise...it will be spring loaded. On alot of these cars you have to use what is called a crows foot socket, because there is not enough space between that nut and the unibody. In that case, if you can get a wrench on that nut, you may be able to do it with that...altho [cont.]

Ask the guy at the counter of advance auto to look up how much it takes and see if he confirms this. You will need to know the engine size though. this will be located on a sticker under the hood.
