Timing Belt on 2003 Golf (Not Diesal): by igallwas on Mon Nov 17 08:39:07 PST 2008; Hi, I put a LOT of miles on my call (all highway). I have a 2003 VW Golf with 109k miles on it. It's timing belt time, right? Dealer said to do it at 105k miles. Question: Do I have to have the dealer do it? My guys at Merlin said they can do it (one of them used to work at VW), but was honest and said he's only done 2 timing belts. Makes me nervous. I live in Palatine, IL. Any suggestions? Going to cost a lot huh? Also, is there any other major stuff I need to do now? I did the spark plugs at 40k miles. I change the oil regularly and that's about it...oh...and did brakes about a year or 2 ago and they are fine. THANK YOU! I'm a girl living in a mans world...just kidding!

08 Sable: by slagfysh on Sat Jun 28 04:00:53 PDT 2008; I have an 08 mercury sable that I purchased in Nov 07. After a few thousand miles I began to hear an annoying suspension noise from the front end. This occurs when going over speed bumps, turning right or left, crossing a dip or ridge in pavement, any condition that works the front suspension. This condition is worsening with time and use. Any else experienced this problem? If so, what was the cause of problem and what was the fix. Thanks. Merlin

Re: . [magnette]: by texases on Tue Jul 15 08:35:24 PDT 2008; And let's not forget another difference between Brit planes and cars - reliability. MG/Triumph/RR/etc should have hired the Merlin designers - best engine ever, Mustang was a failure without it.

Re: The Greenest Automotive Swindle of this Century [tpe]: by snakeweasel on Thu Dec 27 19:45:27 PST 2007; I am not sure that any production plane used diesel. The plane pictured is just one that I picked off the web so I am not sure of the model. Planes of the WWII era (actually until the 1950's and to an extent beyond) were piston driven by either engines very similar to a cars engine like this Rolls Royce Merlin engine Or radial engines like this: Most used a type of gas very similar to what cars used.

Re: 2001 Transfer Case/Transmission Leak?? [kevinm]: by atfdmike on Thu Dec 20 11:53:24 PST 2007; that is not your transfer case. That is the Adapter body added to the 4L30E transmission so it could have a lock up converter. It is a messy job and there is a special tool to remove the cover after removing the retainer, but it is a common problem for leaking. New cover and seal are not too expensive. Paying someone else to do it is expensive. Can be done if you have some tools and mechanical ability. One guys opinion. PS did some research and found this from a good mechanic on this: HI ALAN WHERE BC IS TALKING ABOUT IS ON THE RT SIDE OF THE TRANS THERE IS A SERVO PISTON THAT HAS SNAP RING HOLDING IT IN AND IT IS NOTORIOUS FOR LEAKING AND TI WILL RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRANS AND MIGRATE INTO THE EDGE OF THE BELL HOUSING AREA , BUT USUALLY NOT THAT STEADY OF A LEAK, JERRY And this: WOW!!!! They were really going to take me to the cleaners for this!!! I got a callback this evening and the estimate they quoted me was $540!!! Allegedly, they couldn't get just the cover and new ring without ordering the whole servo/piston package, the parts just didn't come separately. So they wanted the go-ahead to replace the whole unit! SHENANEGANS!!!! I called St. Charles and spoke to Merlin (the man!). I simply asked him what parts were neccessary to fix the leaking accumulator piston cover.... $10 worth of parts!!! I went ahead and ordered the stuff (it was the least I could do) and took my case to the service dept at Isuzu. In so many words I told them there's no 'right or wrong' to their repair recommendation, but let's call a spade a spade; I did not need a new $540 servo! I said this is the way I want you to repair it (per [St. Charles'] standard procedure), and they were more than happy to oblige. Damn straight! Buyer beware!!!! Being an informed consumer saved me some $400, and I would have been a sucker if not for this community. It kills me how they insisted there was no other (cheaper) way to fix it.... well they were in for a suprise; momma didn't raise no fool! I'm sure labor ($90/hr) could be found cheaper elsewhere too, but at this point I was content to set an example. Besides, this dealership is right around the corner from me and it'd be a shame if I ever did need something serious, I'd have to go miles to find the next closest one. In short, thanks for everyone's concern. These are the part #s in case anyone else needs 'em: Snap ring: 8-96015-714-0 Cover: 8-96017-093-0 BTW: Although they admitted it looked like it could've been leaking for an indeterminate amount of time, there was no chance at letting it slide under any warranty coverage. I dunno how far out it was but I'm at 52K miles and the (original) in-serve date was Dec 2000. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to warranty coverage for non-original owners. Cheers! Also, that narrow pan is for the trans too. I think it may have been mistaken for something else by previous posters.

Exhaust air tube.: by jdobbin14 on Tue Aug 21 12:23:24 PDT 2007; I recently acquired a 1989 Jeep Wrangler 4.2L and took it to Merlin's to have a new exhaust put on. When they connected the air tube to the exhaust manifold they used high temp rubber hose, which of course melted and blew. I took it back to them and they did the same thing with the same outcome. What are you supposed to use to connect the air tube to the nipple on the exhaust manifold? Any ideas?
