Car is making this noise off a cold start after coming back from vacation for about a week. Should I be concerned? 2006 Nissan Xterra

Only makes this noise after a cold start, and last maybe 3 mins, then it’s gone. This is me putting the car into drive from neutral (can be from park too), and it also does this if reversing.

The car is a 2018 Camry SE (gas only), with 99.5k miles.

It sounds like the noise is coming from the drivers side of the vehicle. And it doesn’t matter if I let the car warm up all the way or not, as soon as I put it in drive for that first time after the cold start.. it makes the noise

i cannot figure it out the compressor is working just fine i don’t know what i’m doing wrong

Car was recently involved in some fire damage. Engine starts. No water touched motor due to firefighters avoiding it as it was not actively burning, door is pretty melted, mirrors, fender, headlights, parts of bumper, etc.

The power assisted steering fluid is low and coolant are running low, I’m unsure what brand was in the car before I bought it (recently) and I was wondering that as long as it’s the same specification it would be fine to put it in without draining the system.

Additionally halfords sold me a bottle of Automatic Transmission & PSF that they say is compatible with my car (WSA-MSC 195-A). Will it be fine to pour it in without a change?

PSF Needed (WSA-MSC 195-A)
Coolant Needed (WSS-M97 B44-D)
My Car is a 2004 Ford Fiesta Finesse 1.2l manual

I just bought a new to me 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5S as a starter car for my kid. Checking it out closer I see these odd wheel nuts. Are they locking nuts? Each wheel has one odd nut.

Hey guys, is my 400k vehicle dunzo? It's making a loud knocking sound on top of the engine but it's stalled followed by these codes

2014 Infiniti q50 3.7, battery light appeared and reverse camera stopped working after I checked each fuse from the fuse box next to the battery. I was thinking that a fuse blew or was left loose so I went back to check and everything was fine but I still changed every related fuse to a new fuse. Even with all that, it still didn’t fix the issue. Both battery and Alternator were changed like 1-2 years ago. Could I have pushed down a fuse terminal deep down or something? Or something else

Bought this focus st dirt cheap bc of a oil pressure light, as well as it pissing oil, drove it 40 minutes to my shop (drove amazing went into boost just fine, as long as it didn’t idle it had oil pressure when pressure would start to drop we’d stop and add oil went through 16qts 😅)Get it up on the lift and this is what i find 👀 how the hell is this thing still running perfectly not even a misfire

Real bad on the front right not that bad on the front left. 2009 Lexus is250 awd

Any suggested products to buy or ways to fix this? Just hit a curb while exiting an ATM drive through :(
