Re: Weird sound coming from engine when getting window up
Oh, okay thanks, and how much would this approximately cost to fix? And also, its funny that you mention idle speed because since the first day i bought the mx3 the rpm's in idle when starting the car would be from 1500-2000 then would go down to 1000 after a couple of mins. I dont know if this is r...

Re: Weird sound coming from engine when getting window up
I do not get an engine check light, And I recently got my alternator replaced with a new regular duty one, and all my air sensors and such have been checked and fixed this summer due to a previous different problem. I am getting worried that this could be a problem as I am getting subs put in this w...

Will my battery die with this new soundsystem? Help!
Just recently I bought a new deck, 4 kicker ks 5250 speakers, a kicker 300.1 amp, and 2 12" kicker comp subs. The guy in the store said my car will be fine, but I am recently having doubts about this. I get them installed this weekend so I was hoping I could get some answers quick. I have a new...

Weird sound coming from engine when getting window up
I have power windows and just recently I noticed that when I press the button to get the windows up and I am not driving (just parked in neutral and car is running) the engine begins to make a low growl like sound that it usually makes when on the verge of stalling. I even tried testing this out wit...

Re: Bought new soundsystem, have a bunch of questions!
And if it does start slower each time I start the car, and I start seeing signs that the battery is getting weaker.... what should I do? I have a new regular style alternator so I don't feel like buying another one, what would my options be?
And by the way, do you like the deck?

Messed up Fuel Gauge help
Im not sure if this is in the right forum section, and im sorry if its not, but I have a question Ive been wanting to ask for a while about my mx3. The manual says the fuel tank capacity is 50L, but the empty light goes off when I only spent 30 liters, so theoretically there should be 20 still left ...

Weird switch thing under left side of dashboard

It has some red and blue things by it, and then just a switch sticking out. I tried turning it and off but did not do much in case I could c...

Re: Bought new soundsystem, have a bunch of questions!
Thanks a lot! that post really helped the speaker hole problems... now I was wondering about the deck? If it is possible to get a picture or two of how it looks in your car in the next few weeks, then that will would be great. If not, it is no problem. And was your deck stuck, or does it just not go...

Re: Bought new soundsystem, have a bunch of questions!
Thanks, but would drilling some holes in cause any damage, or other consequences later down the road?
Also, can you help me with my other questions?
