Known Issues
Engine Mounts:
Wear and tear on engine mounts, leading to increased vibration at idle, is common with age and mileage.
Timing Belt Tensioner:
The timing belt tensioner can fail, leading to premature belt wear or slippage, highlighting the importance of regular replacement.
Automatic Transmission Sluggishness:
Some older transmissions may exhibit delayed shifts or a 'slipping' sensation, often indicative of low fluid levels, worn clutches, or solenoid issues.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion in wiring harnesses, particularly in engine bay connections and earth points, can lead to intermittent electrical faults.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear in suspension bushings (control arms, sway bar links) can result in knocking noises over bumps and vague steering feel.
