Excellent suggestions here. I can do the head gasket for even less cost and hassle than the junkyard ICE. I will probably remove the cylinder head...
I think the later Gen 3 cars can frequently be found around 100K but of course, they also could be much higher. I've had some luck getting VIN...
My idea at this point is that the ICE must be completely removed to replace the damper anyway. Since I can pick up a junkyard engine locally from...
Coolant I think is good. I'm betting there's an EGR issue and that caused a miss which caused the broken plate springs. I found pieces of the...
It's clanking quite a bit when HV battery is being charged. This Gen 3 has 180K so I'm guessing HV might be questionable anyway. I'm thinking of...
Yes, that would bring the clattering to a stop. I'm guessing the driver didn't see it as a comprehensive solution though.
ooops!
I did replace plugs and coil packs although not sure those were really problematic. There was a code for the water pump and I'm thinking an...
I saw some in the 300 range (I think aftermarket) and saw some dealer parts in the 1,000 range. Obviously, I'm not doing the dealer thing,...
Yes, and I think it probably had codes for awhile because this particular owner just likes to sort of run the thing until it's painful to listen...
The Gen 3 is also spraying oil all over the car when it runs...especially at the back. I'm wondering whether that could be a stuck ring (maybe...
I couldn't get fingers in the inspection plate to retrieve spring pieces but a small magnet on a flexible stick was able to pull a number of...
Well, the original engine did implode. Now, the car has a junkyard replacement engine.
Thanks. I'm going to get my fingers into the access and see if I can find those spring fragments. The guy who owns this Gen 3 will drive the...
Would an EGR issue set a code? If it would, then I'm thinking transmission damper (or whatever it's called) because I assume that would not set a...
P261B, P0300, 0301, 0302, 0303, and P3190 codes have gone away at this point. However, annoying noise persists....
I don't have P0401 for reduced EGR flow. I'm wondering whether the misfire could be from overheating (water pump or blockage?) causing misfires...
I doubt EGR has been cleared or checked so that's a good place to start. Mileage is 185K, although ICE is from a junkyard and I think it's around...
