Does anyone know if those high pressure radiator caps sold on eBay reliable at all?
My ride has 150,000km, and lately I found the temperature gauge rise above normal level (to roughly 3/4 or 4/5, close to the red line) when the car is parked with engine running right after some city driving. I check many threads, and replacing the radiator cap seems to be a cheap and easy way to solve some overheat problem, is that so?
It's cheap on eBay compared to those mazdaspeed/cusco ones from Corksport...anyone tried those from eBay?
I am also thinking about replacing the O2 sensor as the car is still running the stock sensor. Anyone think I'll see improvement in gas mileage(currently it's about 23mpg mix city/hwy, I4 engine w/ ATX) with this replacement? I tried asking Canadian Tire at 2 different locations for the price of a replacement O2 sensor. One told me $99 while another told me $125

How do you people install air intake so that hot air don't get sucked into the engine?
My engine room is a bit dirty...is it ok to flush the engine room with water? or is it a bad idea that will result in all sorts of problems?
My driver side manual window is very hard to close, anyone know how to fix this before I spray WD40 everywhere?
The fan occassionally make some squeaking noise, how can I get to the fan part to lube it with WD40?
The engine also make squeaking noise. It originates from the wheel/pulleys on the passenger side of the engine. I have to occassionally spray some WD40 to the wheel/pulley to kill the noise. Am I doing right or is there another way to kill this noise permanently? Such noise is embarrassing from such nice ride while in the public...
Man...I am so such a noob...hope all these can be answered...
