appreciate the replies. The car is 6 years old now, but had the water pump replace before I bought it, so I think I'll wait one year and have it flushed next summer.

Cheers!

Coolant Flush Interval?

My dealer suggests a radiator flush every four years. My indy shop, Audi/Merecedes/BMW certified, suggests every two. I believe the antifreeze used in our cars is hybrid silicate/OAT, which I...

After a long wait, my new tires were installed tonight. Jeff, thanks for the suggestion. The P7 AS+ tires are everything you said they'd be. Granted, it's really early, but my initial impressions...

Funny - I have another tire on that list on my Kia Soul - Goodyear Assurance.

I went to Discount Tire and they are giving me a break on the P7 AS P3 - $824 out-the-door. Normally it would be...

I haven't experienced tires getting noisy as they age either except for my current set and a set I put on my A4 years ago. They became very noisy around 20,000 mikes. In that case, the tires were...

I have three tires measuring 6/32" and one that measures 7/32". Three tires are uniform across the tread, but one goes from 6/32" to 5/32" on the inner-portion of the tire.

Tire Logic

I installed a fresh set of tires (Vredestein Quatrac Pro) 24,000 miles ago when I first purchased this car. I loved the tires at first - quiet, grippy, relatively inexpensive, but over the last year...

Car is back from the shop again with new rear shocks - it took a week to get the parts, which seems strange as one would think shocks would be stocked. Anyway, no more clunking sounds:)

I hope...

The dealer looked at my history with them and agreed to cover 80% of the repair - I'll pay $439. I can live with that. Hopefully this set will last.

I understand, but I've also read that "clunking" from the rear shocks is not uncommon. Also, every oil change I ask the dealer to rotate the tires and each time they tell me the tire where is...

I just watched a YouTube video replacing the rear shocks and it was nothing special. I wouldn't want to do it without a hoist, but it would be an hour or less for an experienced mechanic.

Even the Indy shop wants $1500+. Seems crazy. The Bilstein rear touring shock kit is $401 from FCP and has everything that is needed. It's likely a 30 to 45 minute job to install them. I would think...
