Hi, I've spent many hours ironing out all the little issues with my berlina, its been a nightmare at times, But I've basically got it all except for,
1. When its cold, the torque converter isnt getting the power to the transmission. I've had the gearbox serviced and the mechanic says its tip top. It was behaving when he drove it but just this morning it hit 5000RPM and i was only going 20-30km/hr. The best way to explain what is happening is if it were a manual...the clutch would be buggered.
2. Hours.....and hours....of searching the internet for a solution to why the aircon will only come out of the floor vents has not helped me...and I've taken all the dash apart trying to find the issue but i just can't find any. Used to be able to give the center console next to the cd player a good hard love tap and it would work, but now nothing. I searched all around that area for any issues but couldnt find any. The control panel is functional (its climate control), the little vacuum switcher seems to be functional (makes clicking noises when control panel is changed). There doesn't seem to be any vacuum going through the lines. The vacuum pipe on the engine is definitely hooked up properly. I just dont know what else to do/where else to look. Any common known issues aside from the before mentioned ones which I've already checked?
3. The starter motor is struggling, replace? weak connection? I've put a new battery in, its not that.
I would greatly appreciate your best input as these few issues are making me a little crazy. Like the engine mount did when I had to change it. And that was really crazy. I've done enough searching I believe to warrant starting a new thread.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
