#2 of 143 a/c problem by arkainzeye Jul 13, 2006 (4:00 pm)
my air conditioner doesnt work. ive read where this is common with trackers. my tracker is a 1999. i tried to refill the r-134a and it just popps the 25A fuse. i was wondering what is the part thats failing andwhat costs have you members ran into in fixing this problem. If its too pricy i might not get it fixed as the retail on this car is pretty low as it is..   chris Replies to this message: 48trucker (Jun 10, 2007 5:17 am) sam85 (Jun 27, 2007 6:17 am)

#6 of 143 V-6 ticking by arkainzeye Oct 04, 2006 (2:37 pm)
i wanted to ask this question. is the V6 (2.5) engine known to make a ticking noise. i test drove a used 2003 ZR-2, and when it started it ticked real bad. the saleman said when it gets warm it stops. i said it needs to stop when i start the car not when it warms up. so the next day they call me and they claimed it was a lifter. and they wanted me to take it for another test ride. BUT before i started the tracker i popped the hood and felt the engine. it felt slightly warm. so who knows if it was fixed or just ran and not making that noise. then after i got back from the test ride i noticed the rear axle had a very slight leak at the bottom of the pumpkin. i touched the drip and it was rearend oil. i said BTW this needs resolved also. the tracker was a lease and has 36 or 38000 miles. I wanted you guys and gals to chime in with your thoughts on the noise and if you think it is worth having them fix the rearend to consider it as a replacement for my 1999 2door tracker.

Replying to: arkainzeye (Oct 04, 2006 2:37 pm) I would probably walk away from this one. Based on the fact that the engine was warm when you came back they are trying to cover up the ticking sound. I have not had to do any work on my 2004 but with 26000 miles it does not tick. From what I know about OHC engines like this 2.5 there are no lifters because there are no push rods. According to the Grand Vitara posts pre 2006 and the XL-7 there were problems with the early years 2001 timing chain tensioners that without proper oil change intervals they would fail and the cost to repair ran up to $2500. This problem was resolved by 2003 so that may or may not be the ticking sound. The rear diff has two plugs one to drain and one to fill. Because you do not have to remove the cover and gasket it should not leak but maybe the drain plug is loose. It sounds like this leased vehicle was not maintained probably oil was not changed regularly so it sounds like a problem you don't want to buy.

Replying to: cob (Oct 05, 2006 8:25 am) thank you for the reply!! the tracker i was talking about was a 2003 zr-2 for $12894. right up the street there is another ZR-2 for sale! its a 2004 they also want $12900 for it, but it has higher mileage than the 2003 model. i think the 2004 has 43000 miles. The 03 was bright red the 04 was silver. Both very clean. I think i should take a test ride in that 2004....

#10 of 143 spare tire cover-standard? by bbren Oct 31, 2006 (3:08 pm)
I have a 2004 Tracker base model that I bought new and I never had a spare tire cover (for the outside carrier). My friend told me I got ripped off because all the trackers have a cover standard. Any thoughts? Thanks Replies to this message: cob (Nov 01, 2006 9:29 am) arkainzeye (Nov 01, 2006 10:12 am)
