Tips for Getting into Your Car without Your Keys
Tips for Getting into Your Car without Your Keys If you've ever locked your keys
in the car, you know how frustrating it can be. Assuming that you've decided not
to risk hiding an extra set of keys on your car, here are a few things you can
try to get in without a key. If you tend to leave the keys in your car fairly
often, consider hiding an extra key somewhere on the vehicle. A little magnetic
key box that sticks to the metal surface of a steel body or frame is best, but
be sure to place it in an obscure and hard-to-reach area where it can't jiggle
loose and fall off. If your vehicle has door locks that are recessed inside the
interior door handle, get professional help. If you have the old-style door
locks with little buttons on the window ledge, straighten a wire coat hanger and
bend the end into a little hook. Insert it between the rubber molding and the
side window and then carefully hook it around the door button and pull it up. If
you have smooth buttons, you can try to hook one using the hanger technique, but
most will refuse to budge.The downside is that if you lose the gadget, it can take days
and hundreds of dollars to replace it
launch
x431 pro plus, and you'll probably need to have the vehicle towed to a
dealer who will order a new key. If your vehicle has an electronic door opener,
you may be able to get the door open, but if you've lost the opener outside your
vehicle, the ignition may fail to start without it. Some vehicles have override
switches for this eventuality, so find out whether you'd be able to start your
vehicle without your opener, and locate the override switch now, if there is
one. If you need professional help, call emergency road assistance and ask if
they will be able to open the door. If not, ask them to send a local locksmith.
The good news is that each car key is coded by the auto manufacturer, and if you
have the key code number and personal identification, a locksmith can make you a
new key. Write down the key code number and leave it where someone at home can
read it to you in an emergency

Symptoms That the Timing Chain Jumped
Symptoms That the Timing Chain Jumped The timing chain or timing belt makes your
engine run. The only difference between a timing belt and a chain is that belts
are made out of rubber, while timing chains are metal chains. The chain connects
and synchronizes the camshaft and crankshaft, while governing the combustion in
your internal combustion engine. In some engines, it plays a governing role in
other systems, such as the water and power-steering pumps. If it has jumped or
become otherwise ineffectual, it will be hard to miss. Engine Stall If the
timing chain has jumped, one immediate symptom is that your engine won't
function
launch
x431 diagun. The chain helps regulate the car's internal ignition, so if the
chain has jumped your engine simply won't work. Rattling Noises Unlike timing
belts, which break silently, timing chains will make noises before they jump or
otherwise fail. Pay attention to rattling noises that occur when you are
speeding up, slowing down, or that last only a few moments after you turn your
engine over. These are all instances in which the rate at which your engine, and
by extension your timing chain, is rotating. It is during these changes that the
engine will have the most problems with gripping the teeth it rotates on if it
is working its way towards jumping. Excessive Oil Losses If your car is burning
through an unusually high amount of oil, then it could be a sign that the car's
engine is not functioning correctly
launch
crp129. Since the timing chain plays a major role in regulating engine
function, this could be a sign that there is something wrong with the timing
chain.

Should I Add Leather Seats to My Car After I Buy It
Many collectible cars are
worth more in all-original condition,"writes author Bruce Caldwell in his
book"Auto Upholstery and Interiors."Caldwell makes the point that if your car is
a '57 Chevy Bel-Air or a '64 Cadillac, then you retain its value by retaining
the original materials and condition. But perhaps you have a newer Pontiac or
Ford Mustang and you are considering reupholstery in leather. You should be
aware of the facts regarding the"value-addedness"of leather upholstery.
Restoration "A tasteful modified or quality restored interior will mean the
difference of thousands, if not tens of thousands"of dollars in resale, writes
Hemmings Motor News editor Daniel Strohl in his"Muscle Car Restoration Interior
guide
launch
cresetter." You retain more of a classic car's value through faithful
restoration of its original condition and materials. So a new leather interior
is an excellent choice for a '64 Cadillac with a cream-colored leather interior,
versus going with a less costly cloth interior. Also true, restoring the
upholstery makes use of as many original materials as possible (including the
cushioning and framework), and more original materials means more value.
Appreciation An automobile is more like a boat than a home; age does not add
appreciation; rather, it adds depreciation.But Kelley details the depreciation based upon interior condition.
A car will gain (or lose) value based upon the condition of its upholstery,
including stains and wear; tears or burns; and smoke and mold odors.An antique or classic car is
generally considered to be 25-years-old or older. So reupholstering or replacing
the interior of a car newer than that will not affect its value
launch
creader crp129. Cost Justification Conversion is a personal choice; you can
expect to spend between $800 and $2,500, as of 2010. As one of the upholstery
shops put it,"If you like it $3,000 worth, then it's worth $3,000." You cannot
expect to recoup the value of conversion in a production car as you would in a
collectible car, but you may simply enjoy the car more. Consider how long you
expect to keep the car, how much you will enjoy the new interior and how much
you can afford. Regardless of the practicality, you may simply enjoy the luxury
of leather enough to justify the cost.

Pros & Cons of Changing the Driving Age to 18
Pros & Cons of Changing the Driving Age to 18 For a number of years,
lawmakers in America have debated whether the driving age should be raised to
18. From 2006 to 2008, states such as Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and
Massachusetts attempted to change the driving age to 18, but continually failed.
Driving remains a privilege and no matter what age people drive, they must take
responsibility and understand the dangers and learn to avoid them.
Responsibility Many 16-year-olds have enough responsibility to show they can
treat driving by following laws and respecting other drivers on the road. Also,
if a 16-year-old driver shows responsibility in a vehicle, then his parents
understand his capabilities of other responsibilities. Parents do not have to
get off work and pick up their son from school or take him to football practice.
On the other hand, statistically, young drivers have more accidents and deaths
on the road than older ones. According to , there were 30,000 deaths involving
15- to 17-year-old drivers from 1995 to 2004. These statistics decreased in
later years as many states adopted something called graduated driver licensing,
which give more restrictions to drivers under 18

create an argument for obesity. However, in countries such as the Ukraine, the
driving age has always been 18, and people usually walk or take a bus. Given
this, Ukrainians stay slimmer than Americans. Waiting a few more years will keep
Americans walking or riding bikes helping their health and fitness. Many teen
drivers eat while driving

especially ordering fast food, which does not combat obesity. Waiting a few more

Finance and the Economy Although a 16-year-old gets to her destination more
efficiently and timely, raising the driving age to 18 would decrease the amount
of vehicles on the road potentially having less oxidants in the air, which
destroy the environment. Also, many 16-year-old drivers do not work putting the
financial burden on their parents. With the increase on gas prices and rising
insurance costs for younger drivers, especially males, parents do not want to
fill this burden.Rural areas tend to have little
to no public transportation and waiting until 18 may cause hardships getting to
school. (starekase/iStock/Getty Images)

Erroneous views on maintenance
Erroneous views on maintenance It is understood that many owners before buying

concerned about their own car, but usually in addition to cleaning the car,
other things will also be able to save the province up. Remind car owners the
correct treatment, not only to avoid inadvertently destroyed car, more important
is to ensure traffic safety. Myth one: the lower the fuel grades the more
affordable? Many owners believe that the higher grade fuel, the higher the
price, in the course do not see significant results, and the choice of low-grade
fuel. Fuel grade oil actually represents the anti-knock properties, in general,
the higher the compression ratio requires filling the fuel grade is higher. Do
not remind owners to save a few cents while reducing the vehicle's fuel grade,
ostensibly save money, in fact, low-grade fuel may disrupt the original design
of the vehicle combustion process, ranging from causing engine shake, cylinder
weight is likely to cause even more serious coke engine damage. Myth: Low tire
non-explosive? Many owners feel good summer car tire lows that high summer
temperatures, thermal expansion tire easily because the tire pressure is too
high and puncture. Many drivers do this to reduce tire pressure; but in fact,
more dangerous than high tire pressure is too low tire pressure. If the tire
pressure is too low, the contact area with the ground automobile tires will
increase tire more easily deformed, will exacerbate tire wear, but also increase
fuel consumption. Also within remind owners in the summer driving test to be

How to Properly Check and Fill Tires
How to Properly Check and Fill Tires While it may seem like a mundane
task,inflating tires is much more crucial to your car than you may think,and it
results in a safer and more economical experience on the road. Your vehicle's
handling also will be greatly improved as the larger a tire's inflated footprint
launch
x431 master,the more responsive and comfier the ride balance will it's
National Tire Safety Week,it's the perfect time to check your car's tires.
Before startingTo find your tires' proper inflation level,look for a sticker on
the driver-side doorjamb. It displays the vehicle weight restriction and tire
information. The info is also found in the maintenance or car-care section of
your vehicle's owner's 't refer to the sidewall markings on your tires,which in
part specify the maximum tire pressure - not the recommended your tire is
visibly flat,don't judge tire inflation just by looking at it; you have to use a
tire pressure gauge to get the correct pounds per square inch reading. There are
three types of tire-pressure gauges: digital,internal slide and dial. Prices
range from $5 for a basic gauge to more than $30 for one that is digital,has an
air-release button - or even talks
launch
crp123. All will do the job,but you may want to consider the conditions in
which you'll be using your gauge. "We've found that low-cost digital pressure
gauges are very accurate and maintain the accuracy longer,but in extremely cold
temperatures the gauge may not show up properly," said John Rastetter,Tire
Rack's director of tire information Tips for checking and filling your tiresTire
manufacturers suggest checking tires when they're cold for the most accurate
reading. Outside temperatures can cause tire pressure to vary by as much as 1
psi per 10 degrees; higher temperatures mean higher psi readings. "Tires are
black; what does black do? Attract heat," Rastetter said,noting the importance
of finding a shady place to check and fill all four plays a huge part in tire
psi,Rastetter said,adding that the most crucial time of year to check pressure
is in fall and winter when days are shorter and average temperatures your tires
in the morning before going anywhere,because as soon as you get behind the wheel
for an extended amount of time,psi will rise. Rastetter said that if you've been
on the road a long time and notice higher psi in your tires,don't let the air
out,as the increase in pressure has built up due to the
warm,constantly-in-motion tiresWhat to do 1. Pull your car onto a level surface
in the shade. 2. Remove dust caps from the tires' valve stems. 3. Using your
tire gauge,firmly press the tip of the gauge straight on to the tire's valve
stem for a brief moment. 4. The tire gauge should provide a psi reading; if the
number seems unrealistically low or high - for example,85 psi or 1 psi - you
will need to repeat the previous step,ensuring that the tire gauge's tip is
properly making contact with the valve stem. 5. If the tire gauge's recorded
reading is higher than the manufacturer-recommended rating,press the gauge tip
on the valve stem until you hear air leak out. Check the tire pressure again. 6.
If the reading is lower than recommended,fill the tire with air by firmly
pressing the air-hose tip onto the valve stem. You will hear air quietly enter
the tire. If you hear air leaking or spraying out,you need to double-check that
the connection between the air hose and the tire's valve stem is secure. 7. When
you think you've added or let out enough air,check the pressure a few times with
the gauge. 8. Replace the valve dust caps. Rastetter emphasized the importance
of keeping dust caps on during winter driving because if water gets into the
valve stem and freezes inside the tire,it could cause a you're at it,check your
spare tire's pressure. You don't want to have a flat tire and then find out your
replacement is flat,too. Make these steps part of your routine. It will benefit
your vehicle and your wallet.
