#4047 of 4263 Leaky tube by jstalewski Oct 16, 2008 (11:30 am)
I've got a 2G 3.5 Aurora that's got a coolant leak in the tube that runs front-to-back that has a hose connecting to the water pump on the front end and on the other end a hose to the heater - sort of a long connector.   The tube is corroded and leaking and the dealership wants to charge me $633 to replace the damn thing - and is telling me I can't drive it the way it is. Hell, I drove it to the dealership, why can't I drive it home? Did they poke a hole in it?   What is that tube called, and does anyone else find their repair quote just a tad pricey? I could probably replace it myself if I knew what part to ask for - it's not like it's connected to the diagnostic computer, or in an inaccessible position. Even if they included a coolant flush/fill, it seems excessive to me.   Thanks in advance!

Take car to reputable radiator shop and get their quote to fix. should be cheaper.

#4050 of 4263 Charging battery by rweimer Oct 17, 2008 (3:46 pm)
Can you do any damage to the electrical system on a 2002 Auroa by charging the battery with a battery charger?

Did you ever get a repair? What was the problem and how much was the repair? How did you get the windows to stay up without a repair?

Replying to: pscheid (Oct 15, 2008 9:31 am) Hi Jack   Just a note to reply to our conversation in the "Buying Experience" forum, which is now read only for whatever reason. I did get the throttle body cleaned, fuel filter changed and new K&N filter for my trip. The gas mileage definitely improved. I got 26.1mpg on the leg from Lexington, Ky to Columbia, SC. That compares to the 23.7 I got back in Feb. over the same route and roughly the same speed. The air temp was alot warmer in Aug. than Feb, but I don't believe it would make much difference, if any, especially as I was running the AC this time. Got 24.4 on the return, but that was with some stretches of sustained 75-80 mph. So overall I was pleased with the improvements. Next big trip will be Feb again to Daytona Beach for the 500.   Take Care, Jack

Replying to: pscheid (Oct 15, 2008 4:14 am) Your fuel fill issue is likely related to a problem in the vent system. At least one of the tank lines goes to the front as part of the evaporative emissions and is tied to charcoal canister. During running a valve changes to draw fuel vapor out of charcoal. Canister sometimes has a small filter to stop dirt being drawn in during that purge cycle. It may be totally plugged. The canister may have gone bad. The valve or the computer controlling it may have gone bad. Or you may have crushed the line or it is plugged, the one coming from the tank. Unlikely, but a friend with a new '69 Ford ran out of gas when the guage showed nearly new. He got it to gas station but it would only take a couple of gallons. They had put an unvented cap on vehicle that required vented. The gas pump sucked the tank collapsed.

Replying to: jeff8789 (Oct 16, 2008 4:45 pm) Jeff   Did you ever determine the problem? We are have the same problem. No Parking lights, CD player does not work.

Replying to: pscheid (Oct 14, 2008 7:16 am) You are not alone. I went to jack up my aurora 97, pas. side ok, drivers side rear, the jack crushed thru the jack point. needless to say I stopped! Took it to shop for tire rotation. usually do it myself. also noted rust bubbles near jack point drivers side. concerned? yes. NYS salt has done it. 118K and still runs fine. 28 mpg on trips, 21 around town.
