ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EGR VALVE MAKES CAR SURGE AND DIE ALMOST EVERY YEAR AND WE HAVE TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED TO CHANGE IT OUT EACH TIME. ($50+ JUST TO GET THE CAR CHECKED BY THEM SO THEY CAN TELL ME ITS A CODE 32-BAD EGR THEN 2-3 HUNDRED FOR PART AND LABOR). OF COURSE I STOPPED USING THE DEALERSHIPS AND WENT TO A SMALL BUSINESS MECHANIC AND CUT $100 OFF THAT. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP HAS GIVEN OUT TWICE BUT MY SON HAS FIXED IT EACH TIME FOR ME.
