Replying to: dathom (Jul 13, 2008 8:01 am) My 2002 Aurora rear window now falls down by itself. I can hear the motor running when I actvate the switch. Sounds like your problem. 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: 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.
#4057 of 4283 Pristine 2001 3.5 Aurora by dathom Dec 17, 2008 (1:36 pm)
& 70K miles with all preventive maintenance work done at or before time to do it. Only two problems. Rear window regularors both went out with in days of each other. What a pain and what a cost to repair. So, I just had the cables "tied" in the up position. But real issue is a whine noise at speed. No noise at any RPM while at rest. At speed whine noise (bearing?) increases as speed increases. Also, when the steering wheel is turned right at speed, noise decreases? Power steering pump? I am at a loss on what is is. Anyone?

Replying to: dathom (Dec 17, 2008 1:36 pm) I had the same problem on my '96 aurora. I took it to the shop and they had to replace the serpatine belt and also my lower pulley. It would whine at speed but decrease at turns.I had my oil changed ,water flushed and refilled for winter, brakes checked,etc. Belts it seams are not included in maintenance. Belt and pulley about $120 getting it put in $130 because they have to drop the radiator to get to it.
