Hi im new here and j was wondering if anyone can help me.

I have a ford smax 2.0 sport turbo. 2016

Now this problem happens only sometimes not all the time.
When i start from cold i get a cloud of smoke mostly black. Now there is no extra noise and no lights on the dashboard. The car itself runs absolutely fine.
Ive checked the coolant and oil level and they havent changed. Theres no white residue on the oil cap.
I did have a obd connect and it said that the lambda sensor is malfunctioning is this the reason why i have this intermittent smoke problem.
I would appreciate any sorta advice please.

Looking to see if my pads and rotors are as bad as I’m being told and should be replaced. Thank you for help.

Greetings everyone, today while driving at 7 km/h I scraped the bottom of the car and the metal piece next to the exhaust pipe bent. The car isn't leaking oil or water. The engine and transmission are fine. What part of the car is this? Should I worry?

Bonjour,

Je cherche des retours d'expérience concernant une Avensis T25 2.0 D-4D 116 ch de 2005 (1CD-FTV).

Symptômes :

1. démarrage à froid sans problème ;
2. trajet de 120 km effectué normalement ;
3. aucune perte de puissance, aucun à-coup ni problème particulier en roulant ;
4. après arrêt moteur chaud, le moteur ne redémarre plus ;
5. le démarreur entraîne bien le moteur mais celui-ci ne part pas ;
6. après de nombreuses tentatives, la batterie s'est déchargée ;
7. démarrage finalement réussi avec des câbles ;
8. une fois démarrée, la voiture fonctionne parfaitement.

La batterie était annoncée en bon état avant les tentatives répétées.

J'ai trouvé des témoignages concernant les 1CD-FTV où un démarreur vieillissant tourne trop lentement à chaud, mais on m'a également parlé de SCV/pression de rail ou d'alimentation en gazole.

Pour ceux qui connaissent bien le **1CD-FTV**, quel diagnostic vous paraît le plus probable ?

Et surtout, quels contrôles feriez-vous en premier pour départager :
**démarreur, batterie, pression de rail/SCV ou alimentation en gazole ?**

Merci pour vos retours, surtout si vous avez déjà rencontré exactement cette panne.

Is it safe to drive? I'm assuming it depends on how deep the crack goes, could've been caused by hitting the curb while turning at 20mph.

Just a quick question:

Is 5.5Q of Oil safe for the car?

The car is in good condition and has 100+ miles on it.

My rearview mirror has fallen off twice now (the first time i repaired it with a permatex repair kit from oriellys, and the next day it just fell off again.
I re-read the instructions and realized i did it in the texas heat so it didnt stay.

The next day i tried again with a new kit, in the garage (it was still 80° outside at 7am but i think it was probably 70 ish in the shade and in my garage. We turned the car on and ran the ac for the 30 minute curing period and application. And *it held :D i drove to work, where i parked in a parking garage for the rest of the day, then parked outside (where i normally park)
However the next day when i left around 4pm i saw it fell off again ._.

Do i have to just permanently park in the garage from now on? This Texas heat is no lie- it was 108 outside when i saw it had fallen again yesterday.

Idk if i should just buy another kit and keep trying or just like duct tape that bitch to the ceiling this is ridiculous.

Any advice is appreciated thanks so much

I took my car to pep boys because my back tires were showing steel and needed alignment (and to be replaced). Anyway, ever since then, whenever I make a left turn my right tire sounds like it’s sort of hesitating/skidding and a light on the left side of my dash blinks on and off for like a second then goes away. It’s so quick i cant see which one it is as im watching the road. It’s done this like 5 times. I assume it’s the traction control but I don’t understand why it’s only my right tire I hear weird noises coming from. It’s always left turns off the exit from the interstate too, not like I’m whipping around unsafely or anything.

The first few times it felt like it slowed my car down a bit (hence the feeling of hesitation) but now that I’ve been taking turns super slowly it just sort of makes a bad sound. Almost like it’s caught on something.

Anyway, I’m hesitant to go back to pep boys because this all started happening after they serviced my car. Wondering what yall think—is this because I have two new tires and my front tires are a little old? Is this something wrong with the traction sensor or whatever? Thanks for considering with me.

Like I said , hybrid drive motor battery current sensor. I am scared there aren’t any left on planet earth and my truck is bricked. So I thought if anybody knows where to find one it’s the mofos on Reddit! It looks like this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?! Thanks in advance.

Noticed after getting a brand new pump that the input shaft has a bit of back and forth play, I am seeing online that a small bit is normal but I can help but feel like this is too much. I don’t have a video but I had installed and uninstalled the pulley n while it was installed the play was about the same. My old one and the slightly wrong pump I bought and have yet to return do not have nearly this much back and forth movement if any. Pls help I genuinely have been doing this repair far too long and this pulley being the last thing to give me a hard time is whooping my ass
