This is mainly to reduce noise and vibrations. They slightly help for tension too but almost all the tensioning work is done by the tensioners (sounds a bit obvious hehe). Last but not least, they help getting the chain going a bit more around the sprokets, which gives more contact surface...

What's wrong with yours? Is something broken? I see the tabs for the screws are in poor shape but that can be fixed. I had a problem with the right button controlling the modes (the shaft broke in half), but I repaired it with some epoxy. It is not too difficult to do. Just sayin, in case it...

Thanks mate, I bought new rear brake shoes a few years ago on ebay, they were supposed to fit my 4200 according to the seller. But once I tried to install them I found out they were very different, I don't recall exactly what was the difference since it was a long time ago but they just couldn't...

Would you happen to know of a similar alternative for older models (2002)? That would be awesome

Thanks, but it's impossible to discuss with those guys, even if you're might be right. In China they just do whatever they want and don't bother at all wether what the rule is actually saying. They said it need a certificate of comformity for the battery and there is zero chance they'll change...

Ah ok, thanks a lot for your message @FIFTY. Thanks to you I googled this little transponder chip on google and got a better understanding on how those anti theft devices are supposed to work in our cars. So apparently those things are responsible for the engine start and they work wirelessly...

Impossible, they scan everything. And if they detect it it will be blocked at the customs which will be a nightmare to get straight.... I know it sounds insane but we already had that kind of problem in my company with a simple remote control.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the car key system on the 4200 CC. I have to send the car key via UPS to my dad. Problem is: UPS doesn't agree for me to leave the little batteries in the key, I have to take them out. Stupid rule, I know, but they won't change their minds unless I...

I will think about it, it's a bit complicated for me given my particular situation right now. -It's not my car, it's my dad's, an'd I don't have much money right now -I live very far and I come home maybe once in a year, often less, I just came back one week ago so next time will be in a while...

You say that the tyres are new and balanced, but are you sure they still are? Maybe one of the balancing weight got off?

Nice thread! Will there be a 3rd round?

I know it's a super old thread, but if if can help anyone in the future: You have to remove the console: first remove the screen by prying it out with a flat screwdriver from the sides (there are a some slots to insert the screwdriver without ruining the paint). Disconnect the wires. Then...

Thanks for the alternative solution, but that doesn't really answer my questions. :) There are a few reasons why I can't do that, mainly because of a bad timing, it won't be possible for me to schedule for that kind of stuff during the very short time window I'll be in France.

Hello Everyone, The Air conditioning is not working on my dad's car for a while. I've checked the fuses and basically everything easily accessible, but didn't find anything weird. Basically, the clutch doesn't engage, which, I think, leaves me with only these possible options: -Blown relay or...

Hi guys, and thanks for this great tutorial. I plan on doing this operation soon, but I wonder, is it really necessary to take the rubber hose off? Can't I just insert some kind of flexible wire to remove the majority of the debris, let the water come out, and then use compressed air to blow off...

Amazing tutorial, thanks a million times! Just a little remark: it is not very easy to follow for non english speakers due to what I assume to be English mistakes in the writing. That makes some of the steps confusing, in particular the ones regarding the airbag, does it mean to unplug the...
