Had to remove the egr to transfer to another car. This gasket has some type of aluminumish looking coating that kept it from sticking and allowed me to reuse again.

I am no auto tech but over the years I have enjoyed taking on tasks like oil/transaxle/radiator fluid change, brake pads, sensors, etc. A simple oil change took me twice as long to complete. I had a stuck thermostat which took a mechanic over 8 hours to complete. To get to the thermostat 1/2 the engine needs to come apart: upper/lower intake manifold, Air Filter, Radiator. It seems the location of instruments is intentional positioned
to make the car not serviceable. The bumper pulled off due to a cement tire stop in a parking lot ( the bumper has a lip at the bottom that is so low it caught the the top of the tire stop ). The drivers seat sunk down because the cloth tore underneath the cushioning. The alarm trips intermittently, probably because the doors do not close completely. The trunk tends to open on its own and the strereo makes a clicking sound when played quietly.

Difficult to remove from 2006 M5. Nothing to grab onto and the OBD connector receptacle is fairly deep. The good news is the Carly Gen2 BT adapter is well out of the way. The bad news is getting it back out again is not as easy to do as I would have liked.

2011 328i with N51 SULEV engine with 53k miles

Was having the too common Cylinder Misfire SEL. Used my bluetooth OBDII device (similar to this&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Car-WIFI-OBD-2-OBD2-OBDII-Scan-Tool-Foseal-Scanner-Adapter-Check-Engine-Diagnostic-Tool-for-iOS-Android/dp/B00W0SDLRY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Car WIFI OBD 2 OBD2 OBDII Scan Tool Foseal Scanner Adapter Check Engine Diagnostic Tool for iOS & Android</a>) to pull the error code and tracked it down to Cylinder #6 -the farthest back and hardest to reach.

Even though I'm an avid DIY'er, I was hesitant to touch anything so critical as this part. I was afraid I would break more than I could fix. However the Stealer, oh I mean Dealer, wanted $125 just to diagnose it (even though I knew exactly the error code associated) plus parts & labor in the neighborhood of $200-300 (estimated).

Thankfully I found an online Walkthrough of how to replace the spark plugs (another item you should do yourself and save big $) that includes removing the Ignition Coil. I followed up till that point and put it all back together. I was able to finish the job in under and 1 hr including cleaning all the crud under the hood. With the 20% coupon code Amazon had, I had it done for less than $30 and minimal tools.

This part is compatible with the OEM part. As soon as I started the car up and cleared the code using the OBDII device, the CEL hasn't returned. Been 2 months and 1,000 miles since.

Here's a link to the guide: [...]

Once my old e z pass was replace with the new model, I had to replace the holder. I ended up getting two of them for both of our cars. They worked out fine.

I was a great idea 2 move everything from the old key to the new one, got the key cut, but it still don't work. I should just order a new key from the car dealer

Had a problem finding a locksmith to do this on my 2004 Chevy Colorado.  Had to take it to the dealer because the self instruction wouldn't work on my vehicle.  Be careful because the dealers charge will vary.

Worked as expected...had to remove the fluid pump to access the removal clip, but otherwise just as easy as other solenoids, to swap...on my 2001 venture

Horrible car.  Alternators, ABS brake sensors and Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) are all known to fail at around 120K.  The IACV issue can actually cause an STA509A MOSFET to blow out in the ECU causing surging in the idle as well as damaging the electric engine mounts.  Once any one of these three components fail, you need to replace all of them at the same time.  If you don't, any one of these components can blow out the others.  The ECU alone from Nissan is around $500.  Check the forums on maxima.org and search for "P0505" which is the error code or "IACV".  On top of all this, its a rust bucket.  The front radiator support is prone to rusting out.  Not only does this support the radiator but the engine itself.  You'll have to pull the entire front end off to replace this as well as break a bunch of welds to remove the radiator support.  Plus all the fenders above the wheel well arches are prone to rust.  My 1997 BMW M3 is still going strong with no signs of rust anywhere.

Other issues I had - radiator cracked at upper hose connection.  Oil pan rusting out which eventually led to a bunch of small pinhole leaks.  Rear brake calipers seized.

Best thing about this car - It has the most powerful A/C I have ever experienced in a vehicle.  It can literally freeze you (given enough time) on a 100F degree day.  Zero maintenance issues here.

Glad I got rid of it last year.  Given the other issues they have with their CVT transmissions and experiences of others and their Nissans, I would never consider owning one of their cars ever again.

The radio did not connect to my car easily at all even though it had said that it was a good match. I ended up having to go to the dealership and pay $250 to get it installed. Needless to say, I was pretty aggravated about the situation

I didn't need it but it was necessary as a second key. Took me a while to figure how to program it but I did. I needed to turn the key in the ignition on and off not the entire engine on and off, oops. Found a local locksmith who was good enough to cut the key but wouldn't guarantee it. It works fine. A dealership of course wouldn't touch it. I now have a number of a good locksmith nearby if I need one.

I had a completley rounded aluminum plug in the transfer case  on my 2003 Chev 2500 HD. The first shop I went to tried to remove it and couldn't, they also said the crossmember  would most likely have to be removed . I went to the nearest O' Riley  Auto parts and purchased the Irwin Toools 394002 Bolt Grip Expansion Set, 5-piece. In a matter of 5 to 10 minutes I removed the plug. Enough said!!!!

The old gas guzzler has been sucking gas through a thin straw... well... I just swapped out the old filter with the new and the car has regained some pep.  After getting all the fuel out of the old filter, I could tell it was noticeably heavier than the new one... that extra weight was the sludge trapped in the filter!

Changing the filter was super easy, minus getting the hoses removed from the old one.  Once they slipped onto the new one, they were snug enough to leave on without clamps, but I tightened the clamps on anyways.

The other 'challlenge' was locating the fuel pump's relay, which I could never find despite all the documents and 'maps' I used... It was much more simpler to find the power plug for the fuel pump and umplug it....  all for the purpose of relieving pressure in the line before the replacement.

This race car hasn't worked as it is supposed to from the beginning.  I didn't realize there was a return window, or that I could find old orders this way.  (Thought I had to find them through my email.). It is supposed to pull back and go.  I wonder, since I've mussed the window by a few days if there is anything you can do.  Thank you.
