Anyone know what this part is called? I want to replace it. Might be why I feel a loss of power. It's the grey part with holes in it. It's an Audi A4 B5 '01 much appreciated.
Other shots.

Zoomed out.

I'm gonna go look at this guy's prelude tomorrow. 219k, no rust, and supposedly no issues (it's the owner's daily). He wants $1600 but I think I can talk him down a bit.
Is there anything I should be scrutinizing very carefully when I check it out tomorrow?
>>14719906
Anything made of rubber, belts, listen for valve noise, jack up the car and check for play in the steering and bushings if he will let you, check the oil level, when you test drive it make sure there is little to no play in the steering, verify for yourself that there is no rust, look for 'marbles' which are little balls of rubber that indicate intense driving in the wheel wells
the low beltline of these never ceases to amaze me.
such a same this will never ever return

POWER STEERING
Anyone know what the hell this is called? It's not a jet suction pump or diverted valve. I've tried everywhere that I could to see what it's connected to, to identify. Help please. It's an Audi A4 B5 '01

Check valve?
>>14719822
Top one is for injecting SEAFOAM.
Bottom one is for CHECKING your VALVE.

Can I tow 1300 pounds behind my Jeep Cherokee without a transmission cooler?
I'm only going to be on the road for two days, and I'm not sure whether I need one.
>>14719724
should be fine. I towed ~2000lbs behind my grand with 600 miles with no issues.
>>14719724
Absolutely
>>14719744
OP here.
I should have mentioned that my Jeep is a '98 with the 4.0L engine and 2WD only.
I'll be going about 900 miles, and someone said I absolutely need a transmission cooler.
I don't have a towing package or anything -- just an aftermarket hitch.
What year is your Grand Cherokee?
Hey guys, does this look worn to you?
>>14719587
Nope looks fine to me
>>14719587
would still be good for another 5000-10000kms

If I want a manual, turbo (preferably 5cyl) Volvo wagon in the US, what are my options? I know there weren't any 850R's sold with manuals here. I was thinking a first or second gen v70r?
>>14719135
V50s had a manual option. Rare as hens teeth though
>>14719135
if 960 --
>source M90 trans, accessories from Europe
>engine,trans swap with something in U.S.
>use bellhousing adaptor, appropriate transmission, accessories of choice

>>14719135
The V70R was available as a manual.
Did I do good /o/, or are you gonna flash me for blinding oncoming traffic and call me in to the cops? I'm inheriting an old family sedan and switched out the yellow-azz DRL/high-beams for LEDs. I lost high-beam function but I'm gonna Californicate and don't need no high-beams.
What color temp would you guesstimate they are? Wanna color-match some HID low-beams.
>>14719063
If you get HIDs then for the love of god get them installed by a professional. There's nothing worse than having some dick blinding you with his badly installed HIDs.
Why would you need them if you don't care about not having full beams anyway? Just get some of those Philips white bulbs (Diamond white or something).
>>14719063
Too blue. You're a faggot.
>Reflective housings
Yep I'd high beam you, faggot.
Hey /o/,
i'll be honest, im kinda out of option to fix my is300. Heres the issues: the hazard lights are flashing when there is no key in the starter. I've read that it might be my turn signal relay, but i changed it and still doing it. I have also disconnected the hazard switch and it won't shut off the lights off. I can't find any rust or corrosion in the driver kick panel, althought there have been a remote starter installed and audio cable passed in that box for a subwoofer in the trunk, and its a shit job. I'm about to set it on fire, i need...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
well fix it. its a great car. some chav probably owned it before you. dont burn it. replace that relay.
>>14719046
I've done it, it still does it. I'm running out of option right now
>>14719017
Probably there is a short. Pull a wiring diagram off the net and check for the hazard wires for torn insulation and ground/power that's not supposed to be supplied. That aftermarket shit could also be causing the issue.
Does anyone on /o/ know what this is? Found it in the car I just bought. Never asked the buyer either.
>>14718820
looks like a ecu
Any experiences on MB CLK 208 body. Thinking about buying one. With the 320 v6 or 230K. I'm mainly looking at 150k miles driven. They are quite cheap compared to other similiar mercs in my country.
Also what do you guys think about the looks?

I absolutely agree with you, friend.

we need to go deeper
why do exhaust pulses even have a sound? if combustion completes inside the cylinder before the exhaust cycle and all it spits out is the exhaust gas, shouldnt every exhaust just
sound like continuous chuffs of air maybe with some very quiet and muffled explosion pulses from the sound vibrating into the pipes, whether its a full stock exhaust or dragster style dump pipes?
Combustion and mechanical things make noise.
>>14718154
right, but engines are fairly thick (cylinder walls, water jacket, and exterior block) and combustion has a whole cycle to complete, so shouldnt the time plus sound deadening/absorption make it almost dead quiet?
>>14718168
Metal doesn't absorb sound and noise at all.
