I have a 2001 aztec with over 200,000 miles on it so when reading some of these post I truly feel lucky. However, about 2 months ago the car over heated (dex-cool) on my way home from work. I was able to get it home it just took several hrs. Over the following weekend I drained the coolant and ran the cleaner thru the system. I then refilled with a non dex-cool long life antifreeze. The car ran fine for about a month and then it started to over heat again. It did not go into the red but it was hot. I took it into the dealer and everyone can guess what they told me. Yep the intake manifold is leaking - 1000.00 for that and the engine is also misfiring so new plugs and wires 350.00 (original) which again is not to bad for a car with 200,000 plus miles on it. Now my problem is that I do not have the money to get this work done so I would like to do it myself to save some money. Could someone point me in a direction where I can get procedures and information in a step by step approach? I got one of the online manuals from eAutoRepair and this is full of information but it does not give the step by step detail that I think I need before starting this project. Please advise. Jim |

My engine temperture gauge is not working. Where would the temperture sensor be located and is this a easy repair? This is a 2001aztek model. |

My 2003 Aztek (72K miles) started overheating today. Noticed a small puddle on the driver side, close to the firewall. Saw the leak was coming from the thermostat area. I slowly worked my way to where I could just barely get to the 2 bolts on the thermostat housing. Remove and replace (difficult with no room). Ran it for a few minutes and it was still overheating. Noticed a leak coming from a 2" long hose under the throttle body. Remove and replace, overheating problem is now gone. Here is a photo of the hose I replaced.

A few months ago, I heard a 'ping' come from my drivers side door. The window was in the down position at the time. Later, when I closed it, I noticed that it didn't close as smoothly as it did in the past and there was a clicking noise when the window was about half closed. I figured I was going to have to look at it, but before I got a chance, the window completely stopped working. It was half way down while I was in the process of going through a drive through for breakfast. Lucky for me, it was not raining. I was able to manually slide the window up into the closed position, but it no longer goes down. I do hear noise from inside the door when I toggle the window control. So I am looking for advice and instruction before I start pulling apart my door tonight to see what broke. Instruction on panel removal and what to keep an eye open for would be appreciated. 2004 Aztek |

| For the first 48,000 miles I have had no problems. Never had a single issue. Then when it hit fifty, I heard this strange noise that would kick on and off under the driver seat. The air pump that elevates or lowers the Aztek went out. That was $700 to replace. The brakes went bad too but after 50,000 hit as well. No complaints there. The latest thing is that it makes a loud noise when I accelerate and that noise gets even louder when the car's steering wheel is turned far to the right or left on curves. We just got it back from the repair shop. Does anyone know what the issue could be? | |
