#207 of 232 Pulley falling off is a known defect? by cassirose85 Jun 25, 2009 (7:01 am)
Recently had my timing belt and water pump replaced on my 2001 monterro sport. A couple days ago I was driving home from work and heard a horrible screaming noise from my engine! The power steering immediately went out so I knew it had to be a belt issue. Pulled over the car, called the boyfriend, and had him drive it home. The next day I saw one of the pulley's laying on the metal plate that covers the bottom front of the car. Contacted a few people and was told that it's a known issue with the vehicle. Is this true???? I've looked all over this site and haven't seen anything about issues with pulleys here. Help please?   Thanks Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Jun 25, 2009 8:15 am) cassirose85 (Jun 25, 2009 12:54 pm)

Replying to: cassirose85 (Jun 25, 2009 7:01 am) Sounds like a pully locked up and broke your belt. There are many pullys including the new water pump. You didn't state which pully, possibly a tensioner pully. You need to have it checked out to find out what broke or came loose. Mechanics do sometimes leave things loose. Haven't heard of a problem with your vehicle on pullys. They do go bad when the bearings get old. If you have near 100k miles or more, you are definitely due.

#211 of 232 Montero overheats by doug_mckibbin Jul 19, 2009 (6:29 am)
My 1994 Montero 3.5L overheats quickly after about 1/2 mile driving but not at idle. After replacing the thermostat if the problem persists, how difficult is it to replace the water pump/timing belt? Or are there other easier to fix problems that might be going on? The radiator is clean and the coolant topped up.

#212 of 232 Recharge A/C by doug_mckibbin Jul 19, 2009 (6:32 am)
Where is the fill valve for the A/C refrigerant on a 1994 Montero 3.5L? Do it take 134a?

Replying to: doug_mckibbin (Jul 19, 2009 6:29 am) How do you know if it really overheats? Does your gauge shows overheating? It could be a problem with a (1) gauge sensor, (2) gauge itself (less likely), (3) temp sensor. Incidentally, neither fixed my problem which now points to (4) circuit board located at the back of the instrument control cluster panel. It will be determined tomorrow at the cost of $95 by the dealer if its in fact faulty. If it is, it will be replaced at god-knows-how-much cost. But they promised the $95 check up fee will go toward the replacement. By the way, I still have a brand new gauge that I will sell to you if that's the problem. It costs $129 at the dealer and I will sell for $80 (inlcuding shipping). It fits 2000-2002 Montero Limited.

Replying to: igorveksler (Jul 19, 2009 1:28 pm) The gauge does show overheating and the motor is unusually hot so I don't think it is in the electronics. I'll have to replace the water pump and timing belt.
#215 of 232 A/T Control Relay by cinns Jul 21, 2009 (2:22 pm)
Hey ya.   We just bought a 2001 Monetro Sport LS, and the Service Engine Soon light came on. A trip to Auto Zone said it was a "P1751 A/T Control Relay" code. I am assuming that is the A/T relay that controls the A/T feature to start the transmission in second gear for slippery road conditions.   My question, if anyone can help me, is where can I find this relay and is it possible to change out myself without a very costly trip to a dealer? The guy at Auto Zone had no idea what it was or meant and referred me to a transmission place that wants to charge $1600 to rebuild the entire transmission. Ummmm yea.... NO! Not if it is just a relay switch that can hopefully be replaced.   So if anyone has any knowledge in this area, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!   Thanks, Cinns Replies to this message: cinns (Jul 31, 2009 12:06 pm)
