I'm sitting here trying to figure out solutions for me and my girlfriend's cars. Right now there seems to be a hole in everything that has a seal to it. The engine of her Intrerpid started to use more oil than gas a few days ago.
woah.. wild shot i like that little drip in action there... i LOVE my 2001 regal gs.. brand new it was $32,000 and i got it for $14,900 off a 2 year lease.. nice rides for sure for anyone looking for a reliable car as far as sealing those buggers up... yikes man... if you have that many leaks i'd be really concerned :-/ maybe try duct tape? lol how many problems have you had outta curiousity?
Wow, now thats quite a leak. You sure the filter is on there? Good Luck with all that. Maybe buy her a Buick:Brow: D.
The steering has about 1/3 of a turn of play, and the car shuts itself off every once in a while, when you drive it; not a too fun experience. She's put so muc money into this thing, that I'd like to drive it through a Dodge dealership and leve a note on it; keep it, we don't want it, because it's a piece of s**t. We're seriously considering junking it, but it's such a nice ride, and the interior is mint. Hopefully someone will pick it up for a few hundred or something or what ever. My Centurion gulps more diff fluid than I got time to put in there. I checked yesterday and it needed another .5 litres. This was after two weeks of very little driving. It will never go to the yard, no matter how badly it behaves.
They just proved this on mythbusters, a raw egg in the radiator closes up tiny holes, Their hole was from a screwdriver so it was pretty big.
The Intrepid has had it's tranny rebuilt three times since she got it. She had the raditor changed + all hoses. And alot of other stuff replaced. This thing has been like a lemon amongst lemons. I cleaned it out today, so it wouldn't get stuck anywhere with alot of stuff in it. I only left a survivot kit in it. Two 1 gallon bottles of water. three quarts of oil. A funnel. A rag and some tissues. Maybe I'll take it out in the desert and shoot a quick action movie with it, before it's totally gone.
ever watch monster garage? ya... you know what jesse james does to the builds that fail? uh huh... time to get the hummer with the BFG on it out and blow the intrepid to uh... you know that bad bad place... and VIDEO TAPE IT! oh ya! buy her a 98+ regal or a newer riv! she'll love it
I tried putting in a bottle of stop leak, that is when I took the pictures of both the oil and the radiator leaks. I guess it didn't help...o No:
Two weeks ago we went and had a look at a 69 Riv for 2500$ Really nice looking, and white just like she'd want it. But she was put off, beacuse all the maintenace problems there'd be. She's knd of had it with the Intrepid behaving like it did. We discussed putting a bunch of lemonstickers on it and just parking it outside a Dodge dealership. Money in the meter, and just watch them get pissed off. They know what kind of crap it is that is sitting there.
