I ran across a Facebook Marketplace ad for a 2002 Audi TT that was initially advertised as the 220hp variant of the 1.8T. However, the seller made a mistake… turns out it was the 180hp variant with a 5-speed manual transmission. I went to check it out anyway because I have always been fond of these cool little cars.

If you need to do a full brake job on the 5th generation Honda Odyssey (years 2018-2026), it may take the good part of an afternoon to do. However, if you don’t need to replace the rotors and only need to change out the brake pads, then you can get it done in an hour or less.

For all the time that I’ve had my 2002 Audi TT, it has been practically impossible to move the front seats forward or backward. Even when I pull up on the release handle in front of the seat and put all my strength into pushing the seat back or pulling it forward, the seat would barely move. Obviously something is causing the seat to not glide freely along the seat rails.

When I had to replace some of the shifter bushings on my 2002 Audi TT, I had to remove the center console to get access to the shifter components. Removing the center console is not difficult, but it does require some extra care as the plastic pieces can break easily if you’re not removing the pieces carefully. I put this guide together to show you how to remove each of the pieces for the center console to help you though this process.

It’s hard to believe that I’ve had my 2020 Ford F-150 for five years and I still haven’t gotten the windows tinted. After moving to Southern California, I knew I would definitely need the windows tinted to block out the UV rays and to keep the heat out as well. Adding the window tint will also be able to balance out the odd look of the front windows being clear white the rear ones are darker from the colored glass.

In this post, I will first show you how to get that sliding door closed so you can continue driving where you need to get going. And next, I’ll guide you through some steps towards addressing the issue so that it will close properly in the future. This post is focused on the issue where the automatic sliding door won’t close at the last minute and will re-open on its own. This leaves you with the issue where the automatic sliding door just won’t close by itself.

On this post, I’ll show how to install and use a Fumoto Oil Drain Valve on the 2015-2020 Ford F-150. The install is pretty easy to do and the subsequent oil changes are a lot cleaner of a job to do. The Fumoto oil drain valve takes the place of your drain plug and it has a ball valve that you can open and close with the valve handle.

Replacing windshield wipers on the 13th gen Ford F-150 is easy and straightforward–just like pretty much any other vehicle out there. I wanted to put a post together as a quick reference to the windshield wiper sizes on these trucks, and to document the various windshield wipers I’ve tried out on the truck to see which ones work best.

One of the problems with working on an older car is that every time you touch something, something else always seems to break. My 2002 Audi TT is no exception. While doing the many maintenance items on my car, I accidentally bumped into the fuel pressure regulator (circled below in red). As a result, it started leaking fuel whenever the car was running.
