Hi all,
Took the '94 Fleetwood down to the shop today for some winter love - oil change, coolant change, that sort of thing.
I smelt coolant last week when running it and then saw steam on the left side of the engine block. Suspecting a core plug rather than a head gasket I parked it up and took it in for professsional assesment. Car runs fine with no issues so I guess not HGF.
I've also had an intermittent traction & ABS light come on. I suspect it was from when I got caught in a puddle the other week and a huuuge amount of water went up under the left side. I'm thinking it has dislodged the wiring/ sensor that is common to the ABS and traciton control on the left rear wheel. Is only an intermittent problem when it is raining hard and I go over 40-50mph. What do you all think?
I also have another issue bugging me - the small nozzle feeding the washer tube to the windshield wiper has fractured sending screenwash sideways across the car. It seems to have been split with stress from the rubber tube pulling on it (maybe the rubber tube is too short). Where can I get a new one do you think?
regards, Nick
