The American Oil Change Myth
In many ways , Europe is behind America. We get many of their fads, stars and TV programs years after them.
On the flip side, America is behind Europe in many ways too. They have giant cars with silly sized engines, the country as a whole takes itself too seriously and many of them are stuck in their ways. Excessive oil services is one of those things they just can't let go of.

Throttle Body Orientation
I get this question a few times a year. "I can't close my engine cover" When I first heard it back in 2006, I thought they were just being a mong with no dexterity. Then I received a photo. After that, every photo has been the same. I have no idea how they end up like...
Throttle Body Reset
In drive by wire cars like the smart, the lack of wide open throttle can slowly cause the throttle body to become lazy and restrict its full opening. This needs resetting if you do a lot of normal driving.
TIK Pipe Information
This shows a standard TIK pipe from a smart city coupe, this one was from a Mk6 but all ForTwo TIKs are similar, either 31KW or 45KW. As you can see the pipe has a good width as it emerges from the air box but narrows right down as it approaches the turbo inlet. The...
