Red Leon, I haven't read the entire list in detail but for the record, in mechanical vocab volant can mean both steering wheel and flywheel! You're right about also meaning flying though, eg tapis volant = flying carpet.
As for moteur, I don't think they see the need to make a distinction between motor and engine. The word engin exists but tends to refer in general to very big contraptions such as bulldozers, not just the moteur itself.

Foutu. Or foutue perhaps, but makes no difference to the sound. The word used by a French mechanic who looked at my punctured tyre when I asked whether it could be mended.
