Yeah, I plan to pull ALL the gold trim of the car(i went through a gold phase) The car has had a long history of problems..It was in the shop the first 3 week s I ownd it.
First was the oil pump(replaced under recall), then the valvetrain(as a result of the oil pump), the cat needed replacement(luckely coverd under some emisions law), the computer was next to be replaced, the exhuast rusted in two 3 times, it also had a tendency to eat alternator belts. Then at 70kmi it was making its usual impresion of a desiel..then the rapping noises got worse,alot worse. Apparently the timing skipped a tooth or two. I guess the piston met valve and wrecked the motor. The dealership where I bought the car made a deal with Ford Motor Co. to get me a "Pilot" motor. so now I have a probe with around 800mi. and an extra $2K in repairs to pay my parents back for....I hope i didn't cary on with that. Just needed to get that out.
Hey if you didn't carry on, we would of thought something was wrong with you, and you didn't love your car, but since you did carry on, WELCOME to the forum
Thanks alot for the suport. I'm glad i found a forum with such nice people. Im only now thinking...Gee I should have bought the white GTS that was parked next to mine, LOL. I have always liked the way the Probe looked but didnt think I could afford one.
That sucks that you had all those problems, Bear with it. It'll get better. Besides i have'nt seen any car problem free. My friend had his TA Rear, Transmisson, lifters water pump, distributor conrtroller go bad . humm what else will go wrong with it ?
Dont ever EVER ask that question! Thats bad luck. Its like our cars can hear us saying that and thats when they leave the tranny on the highway behind us...
