Replying to: pscheid (Oct 14, 2008 7:16 am) 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. |

& 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?

HEY AURORIANS... LET ME SAY THAT I HAVE READ MANY POSTS BEFORE SUBMITTING THIS QUESTION AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND AN ANSWER. I'VE TRIED A FEW THINGS THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT HELP BUT NO LUCK, SO HERE I GO... FIRST THINGS FIRST, I'VE HAD THIS SMALL LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR FOR ABOUT A MONTH, NEVER REALLY LOST A LOT OF COOLANT BUT I NOTICED A SMALL DRIP... THEN ONE NIGHT AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY I LOST POWER, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE DIC READ CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM... HAD THE BATTERY TESTED IT WAS LOW SO GOT A NEW ONE, LASTED 1 DAY.... REPLACED THE ALTENATOR & NEW BATTERY. WELL DUM DUM ME CHECKED AND REPLACED THE FLUIDS AS YOU ALL KNOW THE RADIATOR HAS TO BE REMOVED... IN THE COURE OF THIS I FILLED THE TRANSMISSION "WITHOUT" CHECKING IT  OPERATING TEMPERATURE SO I DIDN'T GET AN ACCURATE READING. LONG STORY MADE KINDA SHORT, I DROVE HER THE NEXT DAY ABOUT 15 MILES AND SHE FIRST OVERHEATED. I PULLLED OVER LET HER COOL, ADDED THE LIL BIT THAT I LOST AND TRIED TO HEAD HOME. HAD TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, AND THAT LASTED ALL BUT 1/2 A MILE. SHE OVERHEATED AGAIN, THE RPMS WENT TO 5000 + (NO REDLINE) AND I PULLED OFF TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. HAD SOMEONE RECOMMEND DRAINING THE FLUID, AND REPLACING THE SEAL (?)... HOWEVER THIS IS NOT A AURORA EXPERT AND I'M REALLY WONDERING IF I DAMAGED SOMETHING... SHE WON'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!! SORRY SO LENGTHY BUT TRYING TO GIVE AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE. THANX IN ADVANCE.

Replying to: ndeysayau95 (Dec 30, 2008 9:14 pm) 1) your radiator drip sound like you have a crack in your radiator or your hoses are broke. First things first. Determine where the drip is coming from. I've had three cases of losing radiator fluid on my 98'. A) Water pump seal bad.(Solution, replace water pump (belt just because) cost $200). B) Radiator hoses: replace outlet and inlet. C) Crack in plastic housing of radiator (replace radiator Dealer price 800$, my price 250$). Before you changed out the Alternator did you check it to see if it was bad? If you just changed it to change it then that was a bad move. More so a waste of money. You should verify how much load you are pulling off the battery. With the coolent leak you had maybe it dripped on to a electrical line and you are getting a short somewhere in your car which would cause all your electrical to go out. What did the Transmission fluid look like. Did it have a burnt smell to it. Should be bright to dark red in color. Considering it is a 95 and if you did damage your tranney. The blue book on this care is not more than 1800$. RIP. |

Replying to: mastecutor (Dec 31, 2008 8:42 am) The leak in the radiator seems to be coming from the very bottom of the radiator near the cock plugs (there are 2 on mine) I have checked the hoses and they all seem to be ok so Im in the process of finding a radiator. As fr the tranny fluid it doesn't have a burnt smell to it however, it is not bright nor dark red, it actually has a brown tint to it. I notice something new this morning, I tried what they call the idle relearn on it yesterday, and now there is tranny fluid underneath the car not a lot but it seems to have come out of the pan because it is almost rectangular in shape. I haven't driven her since the problem started. I'm leaning toward a diagnostic on the transmission ($50) and if it is blown then I have another option... a local wrecking yard has the exact same car color and all with a bad engine they want $550 I can buy it and swap engines and keep mine for parts or sell it all together. Any input you give is greatly appreciated!! Oh yes, Im a female that tries to keep cost down... and I must add that I've had some really nice cars (Lexus, MBs,Cads) but this Aurora is the best and honestly Im going to hate letting go if it comes to that because no one will appreciate her as much. Thanx
