Re: Canadian Astro van daylight running lamp disabling.

The voltage drop from a silicon diode is about 0.6 or 0.7 volts. That voltage drop caused the lamp to be a bit lower intensity in DRL mode vs low beam m...

Re: Canadian Astro van daylight running lamp disabling.
In fact, the DRL runs as soon as the key is turned to "on". The engine doesn't have to run but...Each time you start a vehicle, the battery has to be recharged and if in plus of that you have to run the lights at the same time...maybe if all the system is in top notch condition then, there...

Astro van 2002 driver's side mirror.
Where in Canada ( more precisely in Vancouver BC ) can you buy a side mirror glass at a decent price? In the US, Autozone and Napa sell them for $16.-$18. Thanks!

I think some models were coming " new" with no oil cooler.

They say your engine wasn't designed to use methanol in gas. Don't use gas that contains methanol. What do you do when you go to the US

Service engine oil

Re: Oil leaks
Thanks! If it's ever the case ( oil cooler lines) I will most likely remove the oil filter adapter and run it without the oil cooler lines. I don't do any heavy driving kind of stuff so removing the lines seems to be something many do in that case.
