1994 Chevrolet Astro EXT review from North America

"A great family vehicle with good towing capacity"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air Conditioner Compressor went out at 41,000 miles. I had the extended warranty so it was fixed for free, but would have been about $1100.00 to fix.

Radiator leaked at 122,000 and I replaced the radiator, water pump, belts and hoses at that time. I did the work myself and had no problems.

EGR Valve gummed up at 130,000 and had to be fixed to pass emissions, $235.00.

Windshield wiper circuit board had to be re-soldered at 75,000 miles. I soldered it myself.

Drivers side window motor went out this week, 167,000 miles and I had to replace it today. Motor - 59.00.

Rear air is still out, do not know when it stopped working.

Has a small leak in the heater core so I will have to replace it soon.

Rear end pinion seal went out at 110,000 miles. 85.00 to repair.

Inner and outer tie rod ends were cheap from the factory and had to be replaced at 55,000 miles.

General comments?

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it new and put over 167,000 miles on it with very little maintenance. Changed the oil every three thousand miles. I tow an 18' ski boat with this van from Georgia to Florida frequently and it has no problems towing. The engine is strong and the van has held up to two kids well. I am in the process of replacing the carpet and having the interior done now. I plan to drive this thing until the wheels fall off!!
