[s-cars] questions

[Kevin C. Quiros]

Also, while driving on the highway(up around 80mph) every once in a while
the car will stall out and then a split second later it turns itself back
on--obviously it jump starts itself. I am not sure if there is an ignition
problem or if the spark plugs are screwed...does anybody have a rememdy or
suggestion for this?

Low coolant level with pressure release sound and coolant smell really
looks like my broken return plug in the coolant tank. You should have a
look there to see if there is some dried coolant trace on the coolant
reservoir near the return hose.

No idea about the loose sunroof but the sunroof closing most of the way
then opening looks like a sunroof switch agony. Some contact cleaner may
prolong the agony. At least, my switch get a few month more this way but
I think it will need a twin brother sometime this year. This part should
have been included in the official maintenance schedule, my '96 S6 have
already seen 3 of them (hopefully at the PO expense).

Gents-

Met Kevin here in Sunny Hartford here last week, he's attempting to join
the List but somehow his registration keeps getting kicked back.
ANYway, just drove his car and he has some Q's for the collective wisdom
here (insert "sound of worm-can opening" here):

Patient:  '95.5 //S6 ~ 116k bone stock, very nice condition

1)  Coolant level on the low side, operating temp fine, negligible smell
of coolant underhood, no visible leaks.  Shut car off, sound of
"bubbling / pressure" is audible.  Unscrew reservoir, pressure released,
sound gone. While my initial gut tells me this is typically symptomatic
of head gasket leakage, I never thought these cars were really known for
HG failure, in stock form, in good cond., @ lowish miles.

Bueller?

2)  Sunroof reportedly stuck once due to ice, then "broke free" and
opened. Now, when closed and inside, you can reach up and push up on the
rear edge of glass and it's rather loose up and down.  And when it
closes, it closes 7/8 way, then kicks back open.  Close again and it's
fine.

Bueller?  Bueller?

Anyone with suggestions for Kevin here, be sure you cc him in your
response. Also, feel free to try and help him figure out how to properly
subscribe here.
