Car continues to have "check engine light". Dealer indicated 3 weeks ago that there was a failure in cylinder #3, but they will not get on with the repair. Dealer has changed several electrical parts, catalytic converter, and last week said they would replace the engine. Now they are backing off on that and playing "testing games".
The thread about to separate from the tire (tiresize: p185-60r14)( dot number: tire size: p185-60r14 ).
After driving the car for a few months, I began to notice a developing problem with hot air infiltrating the passenger compartment through the slot in the carpet at the handbrake. This happens whenever there is negative pressure within the compartment (windows open or top down), but not when there is positive interior pressure (windows closed, top up, fan on). This indicates to me that air passing through the engine compartment and over the exhaust system is being drawn into the passenger compartment. This not only makes driving the car uncomfortable, but also represents a serious safety concern.
