Have you ever had a problem with the center caps on the wheels of your MK1 Audi TT not staying put? You wouldn’t be the only one; it’s a common issue on these cars. Sometimes these things fall off on their own, but you might also need to remove these if you’re ever taking the wheels off your car to access the lug bolts. In any case, it’s insanely difficult to put these back on after they’ve been taken off.

The Porsche 911 996, there is a specific way that you can get power to your car to allow you to open the frunk. Open the plastic door cover near the driver’s side pedals. There is a red lead that can be pulled out here. After you pull this red lead out of the fuse box, you can attach the positive lead of a a jump starter or jumper cable to it. This will gain you access to the frunk, which is where the car battery is located.

When I bought my 2001 Porsche 911, the seller only had one key for the car. It’s not comforting knowing that you only have one key for your 996. If you lose your one and only key, you’ll have to suffer the inconvenience of being stranded, but also with getting your car towed to the dealership where you’ll be forced to pay whatever they charge you to get you a new key. So, consider getting a spare replacement key.

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. Since it doesn’t take a long time to do just the brake pads, you can plan the work around your busy schedule.

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.
