Re: Taurus owner
THANKS A BUNCH for the replies. With it all said in one response is the reason why:
alternator, waterpump, powersteering pump, fuel filter, tensioner pulley, hoses belts (do all this as preventative in one day to minimize the costs about $600 in parts)
Also make sure the CV boots are changed BEFORE they split ~$200 preventative or $500 per side if you do it after they split. I recommend at about 90K miles.
Overheating is most common cause of death in modern engines ( warping head then manifold seal blows = new engine) make sure the cooling system is well taken care of. If you see a creep in temperature you may need a new radiator - again preventative maintence of cooling system ( & new fluid) is very cheap
It's common sense to service a vehicle, but when one hasn't been taught to do so, the evidence remains.
Thanks again.
