I’d be curious if it happens when the hvac is completely off? I ran a borescope camera into the center hvac vents a few weeks ago to find the location of the evap coil (easily found it right behind the infotainment screen). There is a plastic motorized flapper door that adjusts the airflow from...

....anybody who has slept in a VW Golf, is my kind of person! Had a 1987 GTI back in late 80's-early 90's in my youth. Some of the best nights of my early 20's were "sleeping" in the back of that car.....in the concert parking lot... :-) L.I.V.I.N.....

Yeah, I say all of that....then will probably drool when they do come out with the "refreshed" version and beg the dealer to take my money for it! But...there was a day when society said they were tired of this too.....

Further pushing it away from the charm of the throw-back appeal to the original Bronco, and moving it closer to the Explorer. But that's ok with me, the further they push it away from the charm of the throw-back, the more appealing ours becomes. We've all seen this play out many times across...

What system would engage when you unlock the car? That seems to be the trigger event and would seem to make sense something with the actuator for the door lock. It doesn't appear to matter if you're in the car or not, or engine running or not, correct? Does it matter if the window is up or down...

I’ve got a 1 inch lip on my garage floor at the apron to keep water out. I back mine into the garage (easier to get in/out of the drivers side). I had K03’s initially (285/65/18). When backing it, if even remotely damp, the could not pull the front wheels over that 1 inch lip without some...

I've got one of those cordless impact wrenches and had to use it to get mine out. On two of them, it was impacting the whole way out, that's when I realized something was not quite right, or at least didn't feel natural. After I put the grease on the threads of the bolts, I was able to hand...

Should be fine, just some type of lubricant for the threads is really all you need. I had the slider pin grease handy and used that. This is also a reason why I prefer to do my own work on stuff like this when I have the time. I have little doubt a shop would have just put the pneumatic wrench...

Was changing the oil this past weekend, at 15k (I do it every 5k). When removing the engine cover underneath, I noticed how difficult the three main bolts along the frame cross member had become to remove. Initially I was worried that I had cross threaded them while reinstalling them during the...

The only realistic limitations will be in the tires and lack of rear-locker for unique situations when you're just "stuck", like in the mud or dug down into the sand. Tires will make the biggest difference in off-road capability from the stock non-sas tires. Many of us non-sas OBX'ers go with...

Probably better it stay, since they screwed it into the plastic panel. Doubt you'd want screw holes showing on your new ride. I would insist however to get the full manual on what it is so you can understand how to operate or disable it entirely. May be nice to have for theft prevention /...

Absolutely!! Made a notable difference in operations for all of them. We also have a host of iPads in this zoo family and they too got the new operating system, also a nice improvement.

...edit: I just ran an App update on my iPhone. Although Ford Pass app wasn't on the list of apps to be updated. Now it works.... :unsure: I have no clue if that helps or not. I'm still trying to get the clock on the microwave to stop flashing 12:00 (I don't really care enough to fix it...) The...

I'm Apple iOS and recently updated to the new iOS26 version (which is awesome, made our three iPhone 13's much faster, highly recommend!). However, the Ford Pass isn't working for me anymore either. I notice in the App History list the last time it updated was September 16th, which was before...

Trust me, having a kid makes the four door the one you need. Want never trumps Need when it comes to kids and protecting your own sanity. I have two myself, now both in HS, one about to graduate next spring. A 2-door Bronco when they were little, would have been a royal pain in the diaper genie!

Maybe they changed it to keep moisture from getting down into the hole and causing rust? Just spit-balling on that idea…. Ultimately I decided I like the original antenna over the stubby for one key reason - acts as my height detector for parking garages.

The whole planet is a VOC! Your home, your clothes, your kitchen utensils, the food, even the water we drink and air we breathe. There is no escaping it. And even if you could, we’re all basically full of plastic already anyway, it defeats the purpose. As long as Keith Richards and Charlie Sheen...

I hate it when they do that to the interiors! Steering wheel….grab a Mr. Clean Magic Erasure sponge, wet it, and gently run it over the steering wheel with limited pressure. Seats and dash….warm water in a bucket and a microfiber towel/rag. If severe, add some TSP to the warm water, it...

Think mine is the shady-tree way for sure! The box suggests running up the drain tube as well. I’ve not needed to that though in the past. I can’t complain about the results. We’ve got an 11 year old VW Tiquan as well, which stunk like hell last year (bought for my son’s 1st car). It took two...
