Hello guys! Since the moment i got this car i noticed two things, (this is a LHD vehicle), the driver side front wheel had a notable negative camber (not enough to wear the tire unevenly but it has negative camber and it is lowered some millimeters more than the right side, and the front in general is lower than normal. and past week, changing the right side tire i notice the stabilizer bar is touching the hub, check the photo. many told me that the springs are "tired" and need to be replaced, ok, but regarding the negative camber of the left tire, how do i change the camber? with the bal joint?

i have 185/60 R14. Nop, no Euro label, when selling cars here, fuel efficiency is ommited in listings, ads, commercial and even at the dealer, unless you specifically ask for that information, and most buyer don ask for it... they dont care, they dont measure it, so you get an idea. i was thinking about getting a 185/70 r14 but dont know how much will that impact the urban circulation. -

Are those cable for signal or are there any load (the two small wires to the alternator) Check this video now He voltage goes up and dow with the rpm, because when the battery light goes off i hear the ac fan blowing stronger -

well, you have mentioned two suspects, the TPS and the battery/alternator. past two weeks lights were erratically (not the previous problem i mentioned couple of months ago) Today i used the car for a 200km trip and mid way the light of the steering came on, i continue to drive for 50km more, when i turn off the vehicle i was unable to turn it on again, then i notice the two tinny cable from the alternator were disconnected (the clamp/connector was already in bad state, i replace it with generic connector (but more secure than the old one and the car started immediately, now i am going to do some diligence and so i test the car. just in case, where is located the TPS? -
Hello guys! Since a week ago i have been notice a reduction in the efficiency and a lack of power and a unstable acceleration (with a fixed pedal position it feels like if i was pressing and depressing the pedal) I first thought it was due a bad quality diesel but then today, before turning off the engine i just decide it to accelerate it in neutral and i did notice the engine was not accelerating according to my my foot input. Please check this video
