Replying to: MadMace (Feb 04, 2009 2:16 pm) Hmm. Ok. 1st Transmission in 02 Axiom was replaced at 200 miles.(long story but I found out that a dealer that had lost their medallion used mine as a parts car then sold it to another dealer who I bought it from). 2nd transmission was replaced at 86000 miles. Currently at 118k and this is the _last_ transmission. When this one goes, the vehicle is getting towed away for $100 and hopefully crushed into a little square. It's in good shape, but enough is enough. I do intend to get the tranny fluid changed soon though. Perhaps it will make it to 150k.

Replying to: decababy (Feb 24, 2009 5:18 pm) Glad to see you are getting the most out of your vehicle, since as you know, the Axiom has a near-worthless trade in or resale value. I still use and like mY 02 Axiom, and have been fortunate not to have too many problems so far, with 91K on it right now. As for the A/C compressor, if you have 200K miles that is about par for a new A/C compressor. In fact, it is much better than average for the life of an A/C compressor, even for a Honda or Toyota. And, since replacing the A/C compressor requires specialized tools and a license to handle refrigerants (generally speaking), your best bet is to shop around. On an 89 Cougar I used to own that I bought showroom new, the A/C compressor went out at about 106K (see what i mean), and I got quotes in 1995 that ranged from $600 to $1000 to replace it. The $600 quote came from a place that did nothing but auto A/C repair work and they did a fine job. So, it pays to shop around. The highest quotes came from Tuffys and Pep Boys, by the way. As for the shocks, you did not say if yours were electronic or not. I recently took out my electronic ones, as did Bert, and I detailed the procedure and the model numbers of the Monroe shocks I used to replace those crappy ISC shocks with. Those details are posted in this forum: Isuzu Axiom maintenance. The Monroe shocks are not that expensive and are something I do not recommend that most owners try to do themselves (the old shocks are a bugger to get removed). Hope that helps. Awaiting your reply. |

i have a 2003 Axiom. The red "up" button for the heat control will not stay put. Anytime i hit a bump in the road it will fall off. Is there anyway to fix this without messing anything up short of buying a whole new stereo system. I assume this is all one piece... the stereo system/heat adjustment... correct? |
