Hi. You need to remove the brake caliper first and then the brake disc. You will most likely find 3-4 bolts from the backside of the hub, depending on the car model 🙂

It does indeed looks strange. What browser do you get the problems with?

If there is rust on body parts like under the doors it’s a bad sign. You can also try to watch under the car to see if it looks rusty 🙂

The colder it is, the tougher it is for the car battery. However, if your car just clicked when you were trying to start it, and you are sure that you didn’t forget to shut off any electrical consumer – I guess something is draining the car battery, especially if the car battery is new.

Unfortunately, it is often quite difficult to find what is causing the battery to drain. You often need a special tool to check if there is an unusual amount of power drained from the battery.

I really do recommend letting a workshop check if the car is draining the battery before buying a new car battery.

That the car will start when the temperature goes up is possible but quite unlikely. You probably need to charge the car battery.

A cylinoid is a misspelling of a solenoid. So, your mechanic most likely meant a transmission solenoid.

A transmission solenoid or cylinoid is an electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission to select gears.

A broken solenoid in the transmission is most likely a bad transmission shift solenoid. Which you can find more information about it in the article I linked to. However, there are several transmission solenoids and there could be other types of solenoids. In this case, I think it’s better if your mechanic is getting the parts for you because there is a big chance to order the wrong part, which will make it even more expensive in the end.

If you want to order it by yourself anyway, you should really ask your mechanic for the trouble codes and exactly which solenoid you should replace.

I hope this answer helped you

Vibrations during acceleration are mostly caused by an issue with the drivetrain and the first thing you should suspect is unbalanced driveshafts, CV joints, or prop shaft depending on vehicle type. Could also be unbalanced tires showing more when acceleration, but driveshafts are far more common.

Unfortunately, it can be quite tricky to test them and the best way is to have a car lift and try to see where the noise is coming from.

You can check out this article for possible causes if you haven’t: https://mechanicbase.com/driving/car-shakes-when-accelerating/

If the starter is making a fast clicking noise when turning the key, it definitely sounds like a lack of power to the starter solenoid or a voltage drop due to the starter engaging. I would take a second look at the car battery and try to jump start the car when this happens. If it starts when jump starting, it is most likely a bad car battery.

It could also be bad ground between the engine and body or between the battery and body. You can use a jump cable between these to check if the ground is bad.

Other potential problems are a bad starter relay or a broken power cable to the starter.

A bad alternator can drain the car battery if it’s good but discharged.
