but your tire shop is highly unlikely to have these plugs. they definitely shouldn't be using a screwdriver to ream the hole. and ATF would prevent the adhesives from sticking properly

how's your experience, using it?

i don't DIY tyre leaks, kasi.
in my experience,
looking for the leak has proven to be a fruitless endeavor for much of the time.
and in the handful of times i saw the leak, it was so large as to render fixing the tyre, a useless endeavor.

there's a topic nagtatanong kung battery or alternator problem - umabot pa sa grounding points when jump starting, engine ground versus direct sa battery terminal.

hindi daw gumana jumping from engine ground, naging theories and thought exercise instead of what works in the real world. starting the car took weeks and 40 pages ata. this thread is another example of that.

or user might be trolling lol

Troll na this. Halatang halata na. Trolling to make the thread alive. [emoji38]

one of the most useful "tool" in the house: a simple spray bottle w/ water and dish soap. i just mounted two heavy-duty moto tires last night (for a trailer i'm building). lube defnitely made things easier. great for detecting leaks also. just wait a while and look for the foam

as for the repair kit i haven't had the chance to use it yet. i'm saving it for that one unlucky day that you get two flat tires

Instead of bringing that repair kit, one must learn how to change damaged tyre with spare tyre, and leave the tyre repair to the tyre shop using the proper equipment.

are you kidding me? i can change a flat tire w/ my eyes closed

like i said, the kit is for when you're having a really bad day and get 2 flat tires but have only 1 spare

far away from civilization
