Adivce needed on '95 90q

[Andrew Lundy]

Real QUICK main points.

1)  Oil consumption.
2)  Oil leaks (usually at the head gasket for one place...and yes, I meant
HEAD gasket).
3)  O2 sensors go early and often.
4)  A/C Evaporators are a somewhat common failure. ($PENDY to fix)
5)  Catalytic converts go out often.  The '95's are covered by a 8yr/80k
miles emission warranty...so the car is still covered for a while there!!
6)  Cars have a "dead" spot in the low RPM range.  "Dead" as in don't drag
race anybody!!!
7)  Front end suspension clunks/rattles are also common
8)  Rear calipers are troublesome...like all 90's!

HTH!!
