does sound like engine mounts, does it only do it in "d" and not reverse

have you checked your engine mounts?

They are both refrigerant lines. The bigger one is the suction line and the smaller is the discharge. A/c compressors aren’t any good for compressing air as they don’t hold the oil in the sump like other compressors; they are designed to spit oil out all of the time so it can lubricate the rest...

I’m sorry if this comes over as rude but.... TSUNAMIX where did you get that info from??? I have been a refrigeration mechanic for 12 years and have yet to come across a system with a "reservoir" or a system that doesn’t rely on the compressor to work, even if there is refrigerant "slowly...

i had this a while ago and it turned out to be the radiator cap not letting the coolant return from the bottle. for $15 its worth a go:thumbsup:

do you use the automatic car washes? just asking as they are not the best for your brakes as they throw a stream of water onto your wheels and brakes while there red hot from the drive to the car wash.

i know it sounds stupid, but i had this problem a while ago and after alot of money on the front end and many stressful bad results it was the rear rotors. it felt like the front and i was damn sure it was the front even most of the mechanics said it was the front. but one guy said to replace...

sounds like your passenger side engine mount;)

DANNYN12 Are you a fully qualified and licensed refrigeration Technician???:whistling R134A does not hurt the ozone, BUT it does have a high GWP, (Global Warming Potential,for Dannnyn12)

hey harvz-6, good to see another fridgy on here!:thumbsup:

defiantly no abs or trac, and it looks as though the strut tops are screwed too

you need to pinch the plug with your thumb and forefinger.

This is why they should make that crappy "automotive a/c course" totally illegal. R134A may not have the chlorine component to kill the ozone BUT it still has a G.W.P The only refrigerants that are ok to be released are R717 (NH3) & R744 (co2) It takes four years to be a licensed refrigeration...

hi all just reading through the courier mail and found an ad that the GSP hubs for vr-vz fronts has been recalled. just wanted to let everyone know as i have to get mine done as i bought one a couple of months ago. does anyone know how to get the mods to post in all sections? i have attached a...

hey I have to change the right hand side one on my v6 and was just wondering if anyone here has done them before and if they are hard and any tips? thanks guys:thumbsup:

thanks guys it looks like the right hand engine mount is stuffed. would that cause a shudder? and are they hard to change as i cant find anything on them in the Gregory's manual?

anyone?:unsure:

hi the car gives a little shudder when taking off from a stand still. it only does it for a second or two than stops. i have tried putting my foot down at all other speeds and there is nothing at all. it is only when taking off from a stand still and once the car is up too about 10km/h it wont...

thanks guys why do you need to replace the seal?

has anyone changed one of these? any tips on how to undo the bolt, and using the puller?

thanks for the reply, i spoke to the supplier and he is replacing it, i cant feel it under braking but it feels like the trailer bearings when i do it top to bottom. hopefully the new one has no play:thumbsup:

i just installed an eBay hub, and it feels good nice and quite but there is play just like the old angular bearing setups. as far as i know there is not supposed to be any play with the vt hub, has anyone come across this before and if so have there been any problems or am i just being paranoid?

hey guys does the fe2 suspension rear springs ride lower or the same height as the standard?

sounds like the abs module, i had mine done there is a guy on ebay does them for $185. easy to do yourself you just need a spanner and a torx driver, takes about 3 mins.

i had the same prob, spent about a grand and was still there. i took it to four different steering and suspension guys and still no luck and then it got the better of me so i spent a whole weekend playing with it and i found the nut on the l/h side radius rod damper was not loose but not...

thanks mate it doesn't bother me about the light but i would miss my abs! i have noticed that the cruise control stops working when the abs module is disconnected so i was worried about that too but it sounds like i don't have to worry. thanks for the reply.:thumbsup:

have you checked the owners manual as you can change the display options to display all types of different things. it is all done by holding buttons and turning the key to set.

has anyone got the mixer system with trac control. I'm getting it installed next week and the installer said he installs a relay that cuts power to the trac control and i just wondering if anyone has this and if it effects the abs and cruise control and if the "trac off" light is illuminated...

yep its dead i have seen a couple of guys on ebay selling for around $200, is that a good price or should i look at an auto electrician first. anyone had good price with another option?:whistling

I know it might sound stupid, but are all the leads in the correct order? and are you getting spark on all cylinders? an easy way to check the spark is to get a pair of pliers and GENTLY remove the lead off the plug while idling. see if the motor makes a reaction to this. if it does the plug is...

has anyone changed the pivot bushes? are they hard to do? or should i leave it for the experts?:thumbsup:

Have you hosed your condensor lately? the high fan will load up the condensor and if its dirty it will trip the h/p. i would look at that first

Have you reclaimed all of the refrigerant before you remove it? you could get seriously hurt otherwise!

I would like to add that the oil is a big issue when changing refrigerants. some use mineral while others use polyester. if you put the wrong refrigerant in, the oil sort of 'curdles' like milk, as you can imagine this isn't very good for lubrication. auto air con guys do a very short course in...

did you have to drain the system first or just put it in with the coolant? i changed the coolant about 6 months ago so if i could not lose it it would be good.

Thanks for the replies. i might give the sealant a go first. did you have any probs with the temp after using it?

I have a smell coming from the heater core. it has been there for nearly 2 years. i lose around 500mls every 2 months. just wanting to know if anyone has had luck with the drop in goo stop leak stuff. and if so is there any really good brands and any bad ones? and is there any negative side...

Sounds like your sway bar link pins

Thanks guys, how do i compress the springs? can i tie them with tie wire while the weight is on them then lift and put on stands or will i need more compression? and do you mean the link pins when you say sway bar? if so do i only have to undo the top nut of the link pin? and any idea how much...

Has anyone changed the strut rubbers and bearings themselves? i have been quoted $350 for both rubbers and both bearings from pedders, is that normal? i would like to have a crack at it myself but don't know where to start, any help much appreciated:thumbsup:
