Didn't mean to be too flip, but Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Could the mechanic be a little less specific?, jw, Fri, 28 Apr 2006 12:12:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm glad that he's a reputable mechanic. It's just with a description that vague, the first thing that comes to mind is a hack who's range of tools is just three sizes of hammer.
The APC system is fairly involved, but most failures I've seen DON'T involve the APC unit. By far and away the first most common fault is the APC solenoid, followed closely by a simple bad connection. The first most likely place for something to break is where it's already broken - at a connection. And in a 21 year old car, electrical connections have a right to be a little bit cranky.
$65 is about an hour's labor at a very reasonable indy, with no parts. So whatever he's planning on doing, it really isn't very much. Again, I'm just guessing, but I'd bet all he's talking about doing is running a couple of new wires to the APC solenoid.
Diagnosing car problems over the Internet is a bit of a challenge - when a vague description is thrown in, it turns from detective work into the realm of a psychic. A reputable mechanic should be quite happy to tell you, in agonzing detail, what he plans on doing.
