    7m-gte blow off valve question

    I was worried when I first got my 7mgte as well. Pressure looks low at idle. Take a look at the TSRM. Low pressure at idle on the 7mgte is normal. I believe I read somewhere that the lubrication on the 7mgte was a volume system design vs a high pressure.

    Laptop Bios locked dell 1000

    Bingo...you win the prize! After much research it seems that laptop motherboards don't have bios jumpers like desktop computers. At least the dell laptops. The password is written to a security chip on the mboard. Removing the cmos battery does not work either. The laptop is out of warranty. I...

    Laptop Bios locked dell 1000

    We have a dell inspiron 1000 at work. I came in this morning, turned it on and It goes through the post and then ask me for a password at the bios screen. I tried to put in a boot cd but it won't boot from the cd. I removed the hard drive and that did not help. Any suggestions. Thanks

    Brakes keep squealing, no matter what I try!!

    If you do buy the Thermo-quiets you can save some money. They are running a rebate on the pads. I just put a set on my 94 exploder and I threw away the box with the receipt. :cry: Wagner thermo quiets

    Brakes keep squealing, no matter what I try!!

    Everyone seems to sell them so you just have to call around. If your a AAA member you can get %10 off your purchases at Napa. If I read your posts correctly you have already tried two sets of pad. Another set might not help. Brake fade... sorry can't say. Hint from the tsrm. Install...

    Brakes keep squealing, no matter what I try!!

    Don't use the toyo oem stock anti-squeal shims with your non-stock brake pads. I changed my pads to wagner thermo quiets and did not reuse the anti-squeal shims and all is quiet.

    Blown head gasket have a few questions

    $1200 at the toyo stealership. Somebody must have gotten fired for you giving you that deal. My toyo dealership wanted $28.00 for a thermostat, $64.00 for the accordian hose and $47.00 for the AC blower resistor. Now here is the real kick in the sack. The parts were not in stock and I...

    Blown head gasket have a few questions

    My first suggestion would be to dump "The Mechanic" You made no mention of any diagnostic test that the mechanic might have done. Did "The Mechanic" do any of the basic, BHG, overheating, pressure test, compression, oil, pull codes testing on the engine.? "The mechanic wants you to tell him...

    Thermostat ?????

    I got my info from the second paragraph in the provided link. My vehicle is a 7mgte A/T. It seems that my 210F-212F temp quote only applies to the 7mgte A/T. Just wanted to let you know I did some homework and I didn't pull the numbers out of my arse. In any case I could still be wrong. MK3...

    Thermostat ?????

    This is topic is pretty basic compared to others but it just got complicated for me. The TSRM shows a test for the thermostats and it gives you a range of 187-194F to be within specs. We all agree that the OEM stat rad should be 190F..I've called, Advance auto, Napa, Bennett Auto Supply and Pep...
