Got it from first owners son, 178 000 km. And already problems:
The odometer and trip just stopped working on test drive. Confirmed working on test drive, but suddenly they just stopped rotating? How hard is it to take the dash out and what could could be the cause?
Radio seems to work intermittently. It has power, and finds station to listen, but nothing comes from the speakers. When i took the radio out, it blasted full volume. when put it in, nothing. It seems to have corrosion or intermittent failure somewhere. Any help?
Lights should be "automatic" as to when ignition is on, lights go on, per the owners manual. But they do not work like that. I have to put lights at 2, to make headlights work, and when ignition is off, lights stay on, if I don't put them to 0 again. Is there a way, maybe swapping a relay that could make them "automatic" and the switch can be at 0 all the time?
Also, could I get the radio to get power from dash lights ? Don't like it that i have to turn off radio when ignition is off, it should be automatic too.
Second gear seems to be too hard to put on, and there seems to be a play in the gear shifter. Can that be adjusted or maybe some bushings swap to stiffen the gear lever and also fix the hard second gear?
is the B200E/F interference engine? Timing belt has been changed in 2010 and after that it has 35 000 km. How bad of a job it is to change it? I know that 200/700 series is a breeze but this has significantly less room.
Anyone have working and intact door outer handle? Drivers side outer door handle has broken. Also the radio outer plastic frame is in pieces, if someone has intact one, please contact me.
Also the central locking seems to work, but not with boot. That has to be locked with a key. Is that afeature? And passenger side front door when locked, can be opened from outside. The locking tab just pops up when opening the passenger side door from outside, even when it is locked, what could be the cause of that?
whev, so many questions, hopefully some answers please
