After reading this thread I'm going to have to change out the mounts now. Had the timing belt changed, and now the mounts (especially the top one) is torn, not sure about the lower one. I know how to change it and not refer to the error that Haynes manual is having with their measurments. (So which ...

After doing my brakes the other day, I am thinking of changing over my drums for disks. So tired of dealing with springs not catching or pads being so thick or etc., etc! This thread has gotten me to look for rear disc parts now and will post an update once I get them. Great info and something to co...

ok, haven't had an issue with my ignition key for a while, and now it's starting to do it again with a newly cut key and even the old one.
Found a new key set from Rockmart Auto for less than 50$.
Might do that and just use the same keys since it worries me in the case of a zombie outbreak!

CEL code issues

It's getting time for me to do the emissions test and now my car is throwing codes of 420, 442, 455, 456. All of this from replacing my gas cap! :cussing: WTF!

If you clear the code, and have a certain # of key cycles since the repair, you should be fine. I don't know how many cycles are required (it may differ from state to state) but if for some reason they require you to have more cycles on it before they pass you, you should be able to bring it back a...

I now have my radiator installed and filled and ready to go. It took me a day and a half to get it in, but it's in. With my model car I had to make a few adjustments with the Trans lines. I needed to get the hose off since they screwed off on the factory radiator but the new one didn't have that fea...

Radiator replacement *snag*

ok, one thing I notice between the factory radiator that was in my car all this time and the replacement that I got from Rockauto.com is that the trans cooler lines that are built in, is that the ends where the hose attaches to doesn't come off like on the OEM radiator. Interesting since this can me...

after looking around NOPI.com for some aftermarket tails and heads, I think I will be going that route, once I can score some money to pay for them.
In the meantime I'm still going to get the gaskets for the stock tails, that will help with the leaking issue for the time being.

Thanks everyone. From the way the gaskets looked or the marks that the opening made on the gaskets you wouldn't think that it was leaking. Like I said on one of the pictures captions, it just might be leaking from the top of the gasket and then leaking through it. Will be picking some up soon to fix...

That is one reason why I think it's just the plastic part of the radiator that is cracked. I tried flushing the cooling system while the car was running and the heater never really got hot.

Since my 02 Neon has a small leak somewhere on the bottom of the radiator, was wondering if it could be fixed rather than replacing it.
