1993 Pontiac Sunbird review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 135000 repl. water pump, timming belt, all upper gaskets, when I was having the head and valves redone, really cheap I think $150 for valve job, and all seals, looks lke new. having problems with the engine running hot tho, have repl. the thermostat several times. flushed the radiator also, still seems to run hot.I've heard that maybe I shouldn't have the trans serviced with such high mileage, any advise from anyone on this?
General comments?
I think maybe we got lucky with this car, I'm very satisfied with the car. the 2.0 doesn't have a lot of power needless to say, but. all in all it gets the job done.
