Today I am starting to fix some minor problems I have and could use some input on potential causes and fixes.

1. Wind sheild washer jets (that are on the hood) seem clogged.

2. When stoppping the car once it actually halts with that little jerk motion, there is a bang.

3. Main shaft bearing in the tranny is SO LOUD!

4. Brake pedal travel is excessive. Fixed once before by adjusting the rear brakes and replacing the calipers piston boots. Worked but didn't last long.

5. I need to replace the oil pan due to bottoming out HARD!

6. Adjust the power windows and lubricate the tracks. What do you lubricate them with?

 

Did you make sure that you bled the brakes? Maybe try bleeding them again. Also, if your shoes are worn your brake pedal will be firm like it should.

 

I did bleed the brakes when I did the caliper piston boots. The brakes just passed inspection and the dealer usually tells me if something is low. (always trying to make a buck)

PS. added to the list...

 

Shaft bearing in the transmission is a 'minor' fix??

I'll buy you a pack of beer and a pizza if ya fix mine

for your windows, the manual says use multipurpose grease for the hinge points in the regulator, the part that looks like a scissor lift. No grease on the glass run channel though, just replace that

 

It's funny because that is what I was told. It is easy. But not something I will attempt myself.

 

crud.. that was going to be my excuse to swap engines when it went bad now I'll have to look into saving it.
