So Sat the wife was complaining about the Turd making funny noises. So since she called in sick today and I don't go in until noon I went out and changed the oil (2qts low, had 7400 miles on this oil change!). Pulled the rear drums, readjusted only to have them go back out of adjustment with first pedal push.... needs new adjusters and shoes. Put it together, fired it up and heard the belt chirp.... no prob. Tightend up the alt and p/s belt as they were loose and noticed the edges a little ragged. Well, it's almost been 60k since the last belt change 2 years ago, so a little of that is to be expected. Fired it back up and took it for a 4 mile drive.... it's louder. And getting louder as it idles.
Pull the long screwdriver and check the p/s pump, Alt, both not the cause. Stick it down on the w/p housing.... jackpot. You can watch the pulleys wobble. Then I noticed a little steam coming from the radiator... but the temp gauge is not reading hot. Aw crap..... So right now, best case scenario is new t-belt, accessoy belts and a waterpump, new rear shoes and adjusters and maybe parking brake cables. Worst case, a new radiator too. I guess I can't complain.... the car has 173k miles on it, the engine/trans have 119k on them. Jsut comes at a bad time. With my shoulder on the mend, the auto-x season about to start and work needed on the Swift timing sucks. -------------------- Founding Member of the Indiana Chapter of the Teeny Weeny Club for Secure Adult Males

Positive spin: You figured it out at a time when you had the time and... you can do the work yourself. Otherwise I concur the timing is bad...

Which vehicle is the turd? I guess that is pretty bad timing, Wouldnt auto-x be a little hard on a recovering shoulder? Also is two weeks going to make that much of a difference with your shoulder? Either way I wish you luck with everything there bob.

So whe will sit there outside until after March 31st when i have my next doctors visit. Damn I forgot about that. Dude I truly feel your pain. After moving some heavy flatpack furniture and then installing my Alpine in '07 I had tennis elbow and in a bad way so I took Ibuprofen, lots and wound up in the ER with gastritis. I couldn't win that year. I hope you get to feeling better and the shoulder heals up, oh yeah mine was out part of last year as well, may have been work related but I couldn't prove it as such. Sucks getting old, if i was out that way I'd be glad to lend a hand, which ever one would be working... -------------------- To Helena Handbasket! |

And gas just shot up to 2.90/gallon here I am still convinced gas is much cheaper down there then up here... its been hovering around the $1 /Liter mark for a while now... Thankfully not like $1.30 a couple summers ago. -------------------- Owner of a 2013 Elantra GLS and proud to be a member of this club.
