  • transmission help?

    hi there i'm helping a friend with there car its A 2002 ford explorer 6 speed transmission. The o/d off light was flashing and the service engine soon light was on. It hesitates to shift sometimes and it is slipping in overdrive. i checked the codes and got p1633 and p0775? I also checked the transmission fluid and the level is good, but the fluid is almost black. so my question is, where should we go from here? should we try replacing the fluid and filter? or is this transmission just going to need a overhaul? thanks!

  • Alternator help on Passat!?

    Hey guys, I have a 2004 vw Passat TDI. It has 185,000 miles on it. So the alternator went out on it a few weeks back so I order one from Napa. Well I just put in my second on from them (under warranty) but I the same thing happened yo both? I put them in and tested them with my multimeter, I was getting 14.5 volts, I let it run for like 5 mins and the alternator workshop light comes back on... I test the alternator, and it'd only putting out 3 volts?? Am I just having bad luck with Napa alternators?? Or is there something in the car that could be frying them?? I tested the plug that coming into the alternator, one side has about 5volts and the other 9. Thanks for the help!
