1988 Merkur XR4Ti review from North America
"If working properly will be an awesome little 4 banger!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have not had this too long. I have had a large number of problems in the first month of Ownership.
#1 Overheating.
#2 Low Coolant light is on. Coolant Full.
#3 Rod not connected to turbo.
#4Turbo Leaking oil out seal.
#5 Needed only 2 rear wheel cylinders to pass safety inspection.
#6 Rear hatch won't open.
#7. Turbo is now blown and under replacement. (removing it all together)
A/C Not working (No belt.)
Fuel gage works whenever it likes.
Door panel has a hole in it.
Radio works like crap Bad reception.
General comments?
Nice car has lots of Zip!
Needs a turbo and until I can afford it I will take it off.
What else can you expect for a car I got for 1200.00 AS IS and has sat for 1 1/2 years.
