In december I went with a mechanic who is my step fathers friend to check out a used 2003 cs3 with a 4g18 that is using the CVT transmission. So I decided to purchase it, when I got the car, I carried it by the same mechanic to do some servicing before I drove it on the road. When I got it back, I left it at my sisters garage for the weekend because I had to go Tobago with the family. When I cameback and went to collect the car, my brother in law told me to make sure and check the oil before I drive with it (Sorry I dont know much about cars lol). Upon checking, we realised that the oil was low, so I called the mechanic and he said that he probably didn't put enough oil in the engine.

So when he told me that, I said to myself that I need a reliable mechanic to check my car in the san juan area if possible. So who do you guys recommend?

I also need a new radiator because it leaking rel bad and one of the fans stopped working, so I cant use the a/c neither. When my friend check it, he realised that the radiator I have there is not the original one and it looks like the one for the gallant, so in another problem here. I hope you guys can help me please. Thank you

Well I checked the line from the reservoir back to the slave cylinder it was dry however what I noticed there was leak from the clutch release cylinder. Also quick question is there something that suppose to connect the cluch release cylinder and the release fork? If so I believe that is missing and that is the cause of the problem but I need someone to come take a look at it because the car is unable to drive in the state its in.

Had that same problem.
Nothing it missing lol.
Your release bearing gone thru.
You can bleed the clutch and pressure back the line to drive it from home to the mechanic. But expect along the way to lose pressure and the clutch goes dead.
Best case get it in second and crawl. Hard luck if you bounce up traffic.

Try sourcing the release bearing.
W2J has the oem for the cheapest price. Oh and save yourself the stress and go oem. No matter how attractive the non oem looks.

Oh OK thanks for clearing that up bro. I will try to source the part. Yea traffic is a scene because that issue occurred while driving so I know the stress. Will have to organise this at night with a mechanic or get a tow truck. Thanks though.

My mom's 4WD CS2 lancer got towed in POS badly and now the rear diff is making a humming noise. Her mechanic is saying that the entire diff needs replacing and he said that its extremely hard to source. Is this true? And does anybody have advice to offer?

Hearing stories like these does real hurt yes. How men could sell cars in this condition. Makes me really think I gave away my CS. At least I was straight up with the lil issues I had. Some ppl have no conscience nah.

Hope you get these things sorted out bro. Go by daniel135 pops.

You can get a complete radiator with fans and controller in bamboo for about $1200 I think. As for the leak, you will need to have a mech check it out.

Yea he have it.its from d 4g15.but its d same thing

[BrotherHood]

I going by an AC tech today. If he ca help I will buy the compressor from trapstar.

[idlemind]

Your options will be to rebuild the front of the compressor or buy a new compressor. Either way they will have to scrap it down to see the damage.

Best bet to have trapstar on alert if you need the compressor so you could link with him as the compressor done out.

[BrotherHood]

OK. Well trapstar already contacted me so he is aware.

[BrotherHood]

Hey guys, anyone here ever installed a double din stereo system in their lancer? I'm thinking about buying a full dashboard with the 2 din pocket and electronic a/c controls? Should i expect any problems or complications?

[amrit90901]

you would need to get all the electronic motors for the evaporator and blower

[BrotherHood]

you would need to get all the electronic motors for the evaporator and blower

Those parts easily accessible?

[BrotherHood]

I need an AC compressor please anyone. Need it like yesterday. ASAP!!

I am getting a heavy rattling noise from the compressor. Mechanic check it and confirmed it's coming from the compressor.

Just following up here. I no longer have this issue. Trinicool in Charlieville supplied the new compressor and installed on spot. Really good service. Trinicool is a power seller. I saw his ad in the classifieds and he tell me come and check him. I went and he had everything. I recommend him to anyone having AC problems.

[wagonrunner]

at what kinda cost?
