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.

    The Corola has an electric fan. There is no belt to replace for the fan.

    First thing you need to check is the coolant.

    1. check the coolant overflow reservoir. If it is empty, then there is not enough coolant. You will need to add coolant and check for leaks.
    2. a common issue is the radiator cap is worn and does not hold enough pressure. This will lead to overheating. A new radiator cap is the simplest and easiest repair. Make sure you have the proper radiator cap for your car.
    3. The radiator has an electric fan. when the car gets hot, the radiator fan should automatically turn on. You may need to open the hood to listen to the fan. You may also be able to see if the fan is running, but don't put your hands inside the fan housing. If the fan is not turning on, then you will need to check fuses and relays to see if they are the problem. Check your owners manual to find the fuses. If the fuse and relay are good, then the fan is the most likely problem.

            The Kia has a hydraulic clutch and there is no height adjustment. There is an adjustment for the peddle free play. There should be a tiny amount of peddle free play before the peddle feels like it contacts something. If there is a bunch of free play, then the peddle needs adjustment and will move the peddle further down.
