What is your car trouble?

I want to give back to Steemit community and provide some help on something that I know very well. Cars and how to fix them.

Please ask me about your car issue. Won't go into gear. Strange sounds. Don't know if you should take your car in to the shop. Just ask.

Send me the make, model, and year along with car symptoms.

Please remember to VOTE and ReSteem

So, I have a 2014 model Ford Endeavour. The car is pretty much in a very good condition and I take very good care of it. But whenever I go on a long drives with it the engine heats up too much then I have to wait for atleast 30 hour before I can restart it.
Can you help ?

30 hours is a very long time. What will it do and not do when you attempt to restart it?

I hope he means 30 minutes. It would be very helpful to know if it is needing to wait 30 minutes because it is overheated and should not be started or if he needs to wait 30 minutes because it just cranks and will now start. If it overheats on long trips I would be looking at a thermostat or maybe a fan cutting in and out where as if it was a crank no start condition after getting to operating temp that is a crank position sensor a lot of times. The devil is in the details a lot of the time.

Hey @doomsdaychassis, I have a witness bounty. The goal is to get witnesses to work for us. I want them to tackle our goals and make Steemit better. In return the witness that rises to the challenge will get a witness vote from us. It is a way to put power back into our hands as a community. Until now we have had no power. I'm starting with a goal to get STEEM or SBD listed on a major exchange. That is the first of many challenges. We have a collective of 300 Million Vests to vote a witness and growing. Will you join my effort and promise a witness vote for the witness that gets STEEM or SBD listed on a major exchange?

As you know, the witness votes are free to use and can be changed at any time.

I could get behind that. Comedy open mic is basicly the only witness that has my vote. they have proven to be some of the best follks I have meet on steemit. I am still fishing around for others that I qould like to vote for that I think actually have the people of steemits best interests at heart. Isn't steem already listed on bitrex and binance and a couple others? What exchanged did you have in mind?

Great!
Any major exchange. Preferably those that are multilingual. The witness bounty is also good for fixing the Poloniex wallet issue. There is 14.5 Million STEEM stuck there and half a Million SBD as well.

Hey @doomsdaychassis, was that a commitment?

Commitment to what? You lost me.

You said that you “could get behind that”, not that you will.

Nice job @socky. You can acquire any knowledge, fix your car problem on steemit. Interesting isnt it?

Yes. Spread the knowledge! Fix cars! What a wonderful world Steemit is.

This really means we share the same view. I became an automotive Enginner In my early teens, went to technical college in my country and later forward my higher education in my lately teens and graduate as automobile mechanical Engineer, in the year 2016. I think I'm in for any questions in automotive

That is great to know another gearhead!

Holaaaa como estas amigo? Tengo una duda nuevamente! MI carro es un fiat 1.4 sincrónico y lo acabamos de sacar del mecánico.. pero esta presentando de nuevo una falla y es la de que bota un poquito de aceite a nivel del caucho izquierdo de color amarillento.. Que crees que pueda ser?Estaria muy agradecida con tu respuesta!!

I tried to translate this, but I couldn't understand what the issue was.

Even though the speed machine is repaired,it still has oil leakage , what will it be?
thank you @ socky!

It could be a gasket failure.
It also could be a modified or missing crankcase vent. Sometimes there is a PCV valve that is clogged. The crankcase vent allows excess pressure in the motor to be vented. If this vent is malfunctioning, clogged, or modified, the engine pressure can become excessive and force oil out.

oK, thanks a lot I really appreciate your help
Regards, I´ll tell you soon
Greetings
