New to me.....170k on the clock..I am a diesel guy!
Traded my BMW for it!

It has a few issues that I may need some insite on from my new best freinds LOL!


Rattle and squeek at idle and thanks to the group I guess it needs motor mounts and a vibration damper~~~

leaky exaust manifold seal....I am thinking the motor mounts may have caused this?

A/c compressor only engages on defrost setting, the temp control seems inactive and I dont hear any flap movement......any ideas?

One REAR corner of the sunroof does not close flush to the roof...is there a simple adjustment?

Any and all reply's GREATLY appreciated!

IF it plugs in, lights up, makes noise,
I'M ON IT!

For the a/c compressor to engage on regular settings the vacuum must pull the "blend air" door fully closed...loss of vacuum is the likely problem.
