So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

When Your VW Cylinder Heads Is Not Doing Well

By Earlene McGee


Automotive vehicles have various prices. Others are more affordable. And then there are also some which are not so affordable. There are many factors that determine the price of the car. This could be the materials used for the structure. There are time this could also be because of the brand and the quality that they provide. And some say that it is because of the engine being used. Basically, these are all the factors to be considered.

The best performing engines are beneficial to ensuring that the car would run smoothly. If there is one part of the engine that poses a problem, it might be a very big hassle for you. The machine is composed of many parts. And one of the most important would be the cylinder head that covers the cylinder and performs various function. For instance, the VW cylinder heads could not function properly, it would also affect some of the features of the car such as the cooling system and the smooth ride.

Rebuilding a cylinder head is a known process nowadays. There are many shops that offer this service but not many have specialized it. If there seems to be a problem with the head, you can have it rebuilt to improve the performance.

If there are problems with one head, this does not mean that all of the heads will be affected. In due time, they will have issues of their own. But if only one head is misbehaving, you only need to focus the repairs on one.

If you can notice, each type of car has their own designated number of cylinders. This is because it is the major determinant of how much power a car can have. The number of cylinders will determine the amount of power that a vehicle can possess. This also means that it will have more fuel consumption than those rides which have lesser number of cylinders. You can find a higher number for this in luxury cars or sports cars. This is also the same for the bigger utility vehicles such as trucks.

Car owners who know every detail about their ride are fortunate. This makes it easier for them to determine the issue and fix it. And if they cannot, when they go to the repair establishment, the process is faster. You can learn the parts and how the mechanism works as well if you want to.

The first sign would be a strong odor. Usually, you have fresheners in your car. However, the odor of a leaking coolant system that will leak into the cylinder is stronger compared to the fresh scent of the ride. It is characterized by a rubbery scent.

Smoke coming out from the engine through the exhaust pipe is just normal. However, if it is already black, you might want to check it out, especially if this is the first time this has happened. Black or gray smoke indicates that the engine is heating more than it should.

When the issue is already getting worst, you need to take it to the service shop the soonest possible time. There are others that are not alarmed by the condition of their cars before. But you should be particularly if there are leaks already.
