The brakes started acting up; I had to pump the pedal repeatedly to get any decent stopping power, otherwise the pedal would drop all the way to the floor and it took forever to slow the car down. I'll admit I only know the basics when it comes to the braking system—I don't know much about how the ABS module works or how pressure is distributed through the system.</p> <blockquote> <h4>Poniendo al día los frenos: Purgado, suciedad y un cilindro trancado</h4> <p>Hoy toco atender un asunto más del carro tras los tres meses que estuvo sin funcionar. Resulta que los frenos comenzaron a fallar, tenía que pisar repetidas veces el pedal para poder tener una mejor frenada, de no hacerlo el pedal se iba al fondo y costaba detener el carro. Confieso que poco se del sistema de frenos, se lo básico, pero no sé nada de como trabaja el módulo de ABS y su distribución en el sistema.</p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><p>So I started with the basics, the stuff I know I can fix. I went ahead and checked the brake fluid reservoir. I noticed the color had changed; it looked dark brown, and I honestly remember the last fluid I put in being blue. I understand this can happen when the fluid isn't top quality, but it had never happened to me before, so I figured the smartest move was to flush it all out of the system, replace it with fresh fluid, and make sure this wasn't the reason the car lost its braking performance.</p> <blockquote> <p>Así que comencé por lo básico, lo que se que yo puedo reparar. Me dispuse entonces a revisar el recipiente de la liga o líquido de frenos. Note que el color cambio, se ve marrón oscuro y francamente creo recordar que la última vez que puse era de color azul. Tengo entendido que esto puede pasar cuando el líquido cuando no es de buena calidad, pero nunca me habia ocurrido, así que pensé que lo más correcto es sacarlo del sistema, reemplazarlo por uno nuevo y así estar seguro que esta no sea la razón, por la que él carro perdió frenado.</p> </blockquote> <center>   </center><p>To figure out what brake fluid to use, the cap on the reservoir tells you right on it. This ride takes DOT 4; I did some research and the main difference compared to others is its higher boiling point. If the brake system heats up too much, the fluid can boil and create vapor bubbles, which drastically reduces braking force.</p> <blockquote> <p>Para saber que líquido de freno usar, en mi carro la tapa del recipiente indica cuál utilizar. Este vehículo usa DOT 4, estuve investigando y la diferencia con otros es su capacidad para soportar más temperatura. Si el sistema de frenos se calienta puede que el líquido alcance un punto de ebullición, cree burbujas de aire las cuales disminuyen la fuerza de frenado. </p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><p>To bleed the system and get rid of any potential air pockets, you have to do all four wheels. If I recall correctly, the right way is to bleed them in an X pattern, starting with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder—which in my case would be the rear passenger side—and moving toward the front driver side. Then you hit the rear driver side and finish up on the front passenger side.</p> <blockquote> <p>Para purgar el líquido y sacar del sistema alguna posible burbuja de aire, es necesario hacerlo en la cuatro ruedas. Lo recomendable, si bien recuerdo, es hacerlo en X, comenzando por la rueda más lejana de la bomba de frenos, que en mi caso sería la trasera del lado del copiloto, pasando por la delantera del lado del piloto. Luego ir a la trasera del mismo lado y finalizar en la delantera del lado del copiloto. </p> </blockquote> <center>   </center></div><p><a href="https://hive.blog/hive-102066/@danielcarrerag/getting-brakes-back-in-shape-flushes-sludge-and-a-seized-cylinder-engspa">Read the full post</a></p>danielcarreraghive-102066https://hive.blog/hive-102066/@anliuvm/a-new-passion-roars-throughhttps://hive.blog/hive-102066/@anliuvm/a-new-passion-roars-throughThe Club Fiat Uno Guanare - Venezuela has recently officially joined the automotive family, marking a milestone for enthusiasts of this iconic model.The incredible caravan in the image, captured in front of the majestic Santuario Nacional Nuestra Señora de Coromoto, represents the starting point of…Mon, 28 Sep 2026 21:40:24 GMT<p>The Club Fiat Uno Guanare - Venezuela has recently officially joined the automotive family, marking a milestone for enthusiasts of this iconic model.<br />The incredible caravan in the image, captured in front of the majestic Santuario Nacional Nuestra Señora de Coromoto, represents the starting point of many journeys to come and the camaraderie that has just begun.<br />If you are from Guanare and share this fever for Fiat Unos, this is your opportunity to be part of this group.

Days kept passing without me doing a thing, always making the excuse that I didn't have the money, but I’ve finally decided to make some progress—whether that means getting it fixed or finally putting it up for sale.</p> <center>  </center><p>I stopped driving this car after a day when I was leaving to drop my kids off at school. Just a few feet from the house, it suddenly seized up and started making an awful clanking sound, like something was jammed tight inside. I shut it off immediately and pushed it back home. Ever since, I thought the engine had completely locked up, which kept me frustrated for a long time. But after spending the last three months getting my Chery Arauca back on the road, I feel motivated to tackle this issue myself.</p> <center>  </center><p>Documenting my process on this blog has been a great motivator, serving as a roadmap and a way to track my progress—even if nobody else reads it because the community feels pretty dead. That’s why I keep writing; I often look back at old posts to recall maintenance dates or remind myself how I solved a problem when a breakdown repeats itself.</p> <center>  </center><p>Every time I documented changing the timing belt kit, it helped refresh my memory on how to tear it down. That was the very first thing I did to begin disassembly. I had never completely removed the camshaft sprockets before—I had only loosened them enough to get the belt into position. This step forced me to do some research and figure out how much torque to apply when reassembling them.</p> <center>  </center><p>Another step I'd never done before was pulling the exhaust manifold. First, you have to remove the heat shield to reach the bolts securing it to the exhaust pipe. I noticed it’s actually better to unbolt it and leave it attached to the cylinder head; there are only three bolts securing it to the exhaust pipe, compared to six attaching it to the head, which are way easier to remove once the head is off the block.</p> <center>  </center><p>I also noticed that the ignition coil bracket sitting on top of the thermostat housing connects to the head. To comfortably reach those three bolts, it’s best to pull out the battery and its tray to clear up some elbow room. The thermostat housing was also sealed with silicone, so once the bolts were out, I had to use a bit of muscle to break it free.</p> <center>  </center><p>I was shocked by how sludged up the cylinder head was—it has a lot of caked-on old oil, which was clearly the root cause of the damage. You might be able to see in the photo what actually happened: the engine wasn't locked up after all, but rather a camshaft seized up in its journal due to oil starvation. You can see how the high heat from the friction literally melted the head's aluminum.</p> <center>   </center><p>This kind of damage is usually irreversible, requiring a brand-new cylinder head, but down here in my country, there are machine shops that recondition them. I'll be taking it to one of these shops to see if it's salvageable and how much it’ll cost. It could run around $200, which is steep, but it beats dropping $700 on a new one.</p> <center>   </center><hr /> _{Photos taken by ©danielcarrerag copyright reserved.

That is pretty typical, so the plan now is to drive it carefully while constantly checking different parts until I am confident everything is running smoothly again.</p> <blockquote> <h4>Reparando la fuga de agua tras tres meses de inactividad</h4> <p>Tras logras encender mi vehículo luego de tres meses descubriendo el porque hubo partes que debido al tiempo que estuvo parado, sufrieron deterioro por la falta de uso. Esto es algo normal, así que la ideas es usar el carro con precaución, evaluando constantemente varias partes hasta estar seguro que todo está bien para usarlo con tranquilidad.</p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><p>Three days ago, I took it out for its first test drive and spotted a coolant leak in one of the radiator-to-engine hoses. It is a short section right below the ignition coil, sitting just above the transmission. Access is tight—I had to unbolt the shifter cable bracket just to reach one of the hose clamps.</p> <blockquote> <p>Hace tres dias sali a dar la primera vuelta y note un fuga de agua en una de manguera que viene del radiador al motor. Es una pequeña sección debajo de la bobina, apenas ligeramente por encima de la caja de cambios. El acceso es complicado, debo desajuste el soporte de las guayas que viene de la palanca de cambios para poder tener acceso a una de las abrazaderas.</p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><p>As you can see, I had to rig up a temporary splice just so I could drive the car and go buy a replacement hose the next day. It was not easy; I ended up working late into the night trying to get it to seat properly since the hose had lost its original molded bend. In the end, though, I made it work and picked up the new hose.</p> <blockquote> <p>En la siguiente imagen se puede apreciar como tuve que inventar un empalme, a fin de poder conducir de nuevo y salir a comprar la manguera al día siguiente. No salió muy bien, termine hasta alta horas de la noche para poder calzarla, ya que perdió su curvatura. Pero al final pude salir y conseguir la nueva manguera.</p> </blockquote> <center>   </center><p>Installing the new one was no walk in the park either, as the top hose clamp kept interfering with one of the shifter cables. Once again, I had to unbolt the cable bracket to get it into position. It is amazing how such a small, seemingly simple job ended up taking so much time to wrap up.</p> <blockquote> <p>Calzar la nueva tampoco fue tan sencillo, ya que la abrazadera de la parte superior cocha con una de las guayas de cambios. Nuevamente tuve que desajustar el soporte para poder calzarla, es increíble como algo tan pequeño y aparentemente fácil, tomó tanto tiempo de reemplazar.</p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><p>Now I just have a few details left to iron out—like the brakes. The pedal goes all the way to the floor, and it only builds pressure after pumping it a few times. It could be low brake fluid, or a leak might have developed somewhere in the system while it was sitting. I will tackle that next.</p> <blockquote> <p>Ya solo me quedan ajustar uno detalles, por ejemplo los frenos, que el pedal se va a fondo y solo tras pisarlo varias veces, es que aplica. Puede que se trate de falta de liga para frenos o por el tiempo parado haya fuga en alguna parte del sistema, ya lo resolveré luego.</p> </blockquote> <hr /> _{Photos taken by ©danielcarrerag copyright reserved.

After checking sensors, wiring, engine compression, and mechanical timing, I ended up checking the oil pressure. With a fully charged battery and a backup on hand, I cranked it over multiple times—taking care not to overheat the starter motor—until it finally fired up.</p> <center>  </center><p>After several days of electrical testing, the hydraulic lifters bled down, which made the engine struggle to start. This led me to drop the oil pan to inspect the engine for old oil sludge and contamination. If the lifters weren't pumping up properly, it was clear that oil circulation was severely compromised.</p> <p>My suspicions were spot on. Upon removing the oil pan, I found a heavy buildup of sediment and hardened oil deposits at the bottom. Although I always performed oil changes on schedule, I didn't always use top-grade oil, which undoubtedly contributed to these consequences.</p> <center>  </center><p>In addition to this sludge, the oil pickup tube screen was severely clogged, explaining why oil wasn't reaching the top end with enough volume to properly pump up the lifters. As seen in the image, it was restricted by small particles of RTV silicone left over from a previous valve cover gasket replacement.</p> <center>    </center><p>I usually clean engine parts with gasoline, but the fuel quality in my country has degraded so much that it no longer cuts through heavy grease effectively. So, I decided to purchase a heavy-duty degreaser called H-7. Since it's imported, it was a bit pricey, but it works exceptionally well at stripping away years of baked-on oil and sludge.</p> <center>  </center><p>As you can see in the photos, it turned out remarkably clean. The oil pan was left completely free of debris, especially where the oil pickup tube sits, which is the most critical area. The pickup tube itself came out extremely clean; cleaning the internal passages was the hardest part, but it cleared out completely without any remaining restriction. I reinstalled everything, and the oil pressure warning light on the dash turned off—the engine is now properly lubricating the cylinder head valve train.</p> <center>   </center>_{Photos taken by ©danielcarrerag copyright reserved.

Decades of heat and age had left the housing cracked, broken, and missing a few structural sections altogether. </p> <p>Originally I started on modeling it to print another on my 3d printer, but the more I looked at it and tried to decide how it would be sectioned, the more I realised that there is actually not that much wrong with it, so I decided to repair and rebuild the original plastic trim piece using a combination of a plastic staple welding gun and plastic steel epoxy compound.</p> <hr /> <h3>🧰 Tools for the Job</h3> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/23tvpyiRik7n1Lo59uq3UYPNt7hJAwoSTyErTbVaYfUTe7FWJn2ukhTTtZZYzBkAqJ3ch.jpg" alt="20260830_201702.jpg" /></p> <p><em>The plastic welding gun and hot staples used for stitching the cracked plastic back together.</em></p> <hr /> <h3>⚡ Stitching Up the Structural Cracks</h3> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/Ep7uCAUmK3RRN2iPYz3UqsjYag3AWdB3bjGXpuFrUN6XjoREFVYHop6vyHXT1TucV3A.jpg" alt="20260830_185156.jpg" /></p> <p><em>The 1982 C3 Corvette gauge console housing sitting on the table ready for repair.</em></p> <p>I started by tackling the 2 pieces that had broken off the housing. Using the plastic staple welder, I melted hot metal staples directly across the fracture lines to bridge the breaks and lock the plastic back into alignment.</p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/23x19Aey5cqy7wgHoWDPskbmgCRZoFfcPd42PwaHPbU1A1rA4AhS8i9TA4U6DH8jg6pM9.jpg" alt="20260830_185208.jpg" /><br /><em>Hot staples melted across the cracks to restore structural strength.</em></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/23yd8J7xH9cu8Am22ZQzSthH81UJdeGjcSMJUMSHrmnTr3RW9uRfnwuwzhh7W7MFeVtW8.jpg" alt="20260830_185214.jpg" /><br /><em>Stitching the corners together along the inner mounting edges.</em></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/EoJz7KsRbursi4JrvdPegpYpthrHuM2BV2nFV9wVhDfvYCaWYQWZrVcxvQSLcaDxo8X.jpg" alt="20260830_185306.jpg" /></p> <p><em>Reinforcing the outer walls with multiple overlapping staples.</em></p> <hr /> <h3>📐 Recreating Missing Material and Custom Molds</h3> <p>With the main structural cracks stitched together, I had to address a completely missing section of the frame.

I placed a small drill bit underneath the tape to match and maintain the original factory 'V' channel profile. This will be improved on when the epoxy cures and I can remove the ruler.</p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shaunmza/23tSYuJpBNUuonWrkLVrEhPkqTBHiRYSsCHmPj2mmrKnQerWNVHqE2hiidpzxXo14GADr.jpg" alt="20260830_194724.jpg" /></p> <h2><em>Clamping the ruler and tape mold setup to shape the missing section.</em></h2> <h3>🧪 Applying Plastic Steel and Filling Holes</h3> <p>With everything clamped securely in place, I broke out the plastic steel.

On March 19, 2021 this community was born with the purpose that those of us who live day by day close to an engine or mechanics could make life here and also all those who have something that has an engine.</p> <p>Since then, we have not made any update, so this is the first time we do it and we want to improve some things, so it is important that you read all this publication and find out about some improvements or changes that we will make.</p> <center></center><p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hive-motors/23tmBmrnAJcb1EZwdR2WJpV6zTuAzt5GMP5PGa4ZgcYiE2z3Ux7PCzi3FpTW1NsdQsiJ4.png" alt="image.png" /></p> <p>In our description it says we accept:</p> <p>Engines - General Mechanics - Engineering - Diesel - Refining - Parts Manufacturing - Motorcycles - Household Appliances.</p> <p>We include: Maintenance of mechanical equipment, domestic appliances, maintenance of vehicles and motorbikes. However we will now also include:</p> <p>-Vehicle Work on Brasswork and Painting: In this particular case, it must be carried out by you or to your vehicle. Not on a third party vehicle carried out by someone else.</p> <p>-Electrical and Home Electrical or Electrical Wiring: Again, experience in work carried out by you or to a vehicle you own, carried out at your home.</p> <p>-Welding work: Manufacture of parts, welding in general and well done. Blacksmith work.</p> <p>-Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: In this case, not cycling, for that there are sporting communities and although bicycles do not have an engine, it also has mechanical parts that make it work.</p> <center></center><p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hive-motors/23tmBmrnAJcb1EZwdR2WJpV6zTuAzt5GMP5PGa4ZgcYiE2z3Ux7PCzi3FpTW1NsdQsiJ4.png" alt="image.png" /></p> <p>As in every community, in Hive Motors we have rules of coexistence, which are easy to follow and we attach some others:</p> <p>▪︎Original Content/No Plagiarism:<br />Nothing better than writing your own content, telling your experience, whether or not you are a mechanic or subject matter expert, we value unique content and not copies. If it's about work done on your vehicle, appliances or home, you can talk about your experience, expenses and repair, no need to plagiarize or copy things from the web.</p> <p>▪︎ For processes, own photos, this is mandatory:<br />For the step by step you share with us we want to see photos of yours of it, show us how you did it.</p> <p>We accept pictures as a reference for experiences or anecdotes, but your own pictures always add quality:<br />We know that sometimes when we want to explain something we don't have certain images, that's why we allow images as reference, for explanations or examples.</p> <p>▪︎Language: English and/or native language:<br />We believe it is well explained. We only accept publications in English or bilingual.</p> <p>▪︎No discrimination or hate speech:<br />Being kind and grateful certainly opens doors.</p> <p><strong>Now we will have...</strong></p> <p>▪︎Minimum of 350 words:<br />To maintain standards and also because we know that there is always a lot to say when it comes to an experience or repair, we ask for a minimum of 350 words, counting in one language only. This means that if your publication is bilingual, it must be more than twice that amount in words.</p> <p>▪︎Videos preferably uploaded from 3speak, in English or with English subtitles if you speak another language.</p> <center></center><p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hive-motors/23tmBmrnAJcb1EZwdR2WJpV6zTuAzt5GMP5PGa4ZgcYiE2z3Ux7PCzi3FpTW1NsdQsiJ4.png" alt="image.png" /></p> <p>We introduce a new member of the Hive Motors team and thank another one that although he has been a bit absent he will continue to be present.</p> <p>First we thank @jesustiano for his support for months in the community, as a commented moderator, he is still part of the community as a commenting member, but some family issues have kept him away, we hope they will be solved soon.</p> <p>And we welcome as moderator @danielcarrerag who will be working hand in hand with the Hive Motors team to take this community forward, also creating and contributing new ideas. Daniel Carrera has been an active and committed member of the community and we believe he will be a good moderator.</p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hive-motors/23tmBmrnAJcb1EZwdR2WJpV6zTuAzt5GMP5PGa4ZgcYiE2z3Ux7PCzi3FpTW1NsdQsiJ4.png" alt="image.png" /></p> </div><p><a href="https://hive.blog/hive-102066/@hive-motors/community-update-hive-motors-esp-eng">Read the full post</a></p>hive-motorshive-102066https://hive.blog/hive-102066/@hive-motors/hive-motors-community-oror-new-community-for-general-mechanics-and-engineshttps://hive.blog/hive-102066/@hive-motors/hive-motors-community-oror-new-community-for-general-mechanics-and-engines …Fri, 19 Mar 2021 04:50:30 GMT<center>  *ENGLISH*</center><div><p>Mechanics is the motors that moves the world.</p> <p>When we talk about mechanics, we talk about mechanisms and everything in our environment moves through it.</p> <p><a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-102066/created">Hive Motors Community</a> has been created with the purpose of sharing knowledge about this great world of mechanics.
