Separate names with a comma.
Also why do you think the brake booster is failing? What does "suspension shot" mean? What do you mean by full brake replacement? To answer your...
It's highly likely you just have misfire codes and you'll be wasting money by not diagnosing it properly, which is fairly easy (swap coils like...
I think you only need to remove the valve cover to be able to check timing. You can see the crank shaft timing mark through the timing chain...
Engine rattling on startup and misfires while the coolant gets 'burned off'. Best bet might be to buy a borescope to look in the cylinders...
A more complete description of how the car acts in various scenarios would help. Does it clear up when you give it gas? Small rumble on startup...
Since they're all historic faults I would clear them and see if they come back.
Did you tell them about the actuator noises before they diagnosed it? From my experience the pump runs pretty much every time or every other time...
Good point. I hadn't really noticed the crustiness on the overflow tank. A bad water pump would cause the overheating which would cause the...
Most likely the catastrophic problem has already occurred in the form of a blown head gasket. Do you ever get rough engine starts? IF you NEED to...
Well that's what I'm saying. ~$1100 (for a complete job) seems fair for both parties, over $2000 (for most the job) is a bit of a rip-off.
He said it was over $2k total. Yours would be $1350 with a new EGR valve and cooler and it'd be quite a bit of an easier job without having to...
p0138 is a o2 sensor high voltage code. I'm pretty sure this is what you might get if you had a broken wire or bad ground, so in conjunction with...
My wild guess would be missed a hose connection on the intake manifold. They are hard to see under there. Double check that you don't have...
Mendel thinks every car has a blown head gasket, and while he might not actually be wrong I don't see the point of spending more money diagnosing...
You generally never want to get important engine management parts like o2 sensors from Amazon. I'd be skeptical that the original code was for...
If it's not shaking or running rough while this occurs, then I think this is typical of first acceleration (if it's just after the engine starts)....
I think that's normal Well that works against one theory since they're unlikely to put counterfeits in, but I still think examining spark plugs...
Those symptoms sound more like when I had spark plug issues or a clogged EGR runner in the intake manifold. Did the spark plugs ever get changed?...
That's not suspect at all and actually shows that they may have experience with it. It's like 30 minutes added to a head gasket job to clean the...
Don't these go behind the bearing/hub unit? If so, I highly doubt you'd want to reinstall a bearing after removing it so it may be best to either...
