A Couple Of New Problems With My AV

[1busboy]

Just got my AV back from the Dealer.

HISTORY OF MY AV: 2002 with 13,500 kms on it. Puchased October 2001. Had some poblems before, everything solved.

Problem #1 - rattle from dash sounding like 2 pieces of plastic rubbing together, far left side near steering column. SOLUTION : They replaced the Brake Bolster Assembly.

Problem #2 - condensation in psgr. side fog light. SOLUTION : They re-sealed the fog light seal.

MY PLAN: Though I love this AV, I will trade her for a 2004 late this year. I am upset though that it looks like the North Face Edition is disontinued. ?

SO what is your point?

They fixed your problems and you seem happy now?

Thanks for the info. I am starting to notice a similar noise from the dash. I will make sure to point it out when we bring it in for the next oil change.

Yes, I am happy now. Don't really have a point, just wanted to share my experiences for those who may have similar problems.

1busboy, was there any pattern to the noise in the dash. I hope maybe this can be related to my issue. Sometimes sounds like plastic or a leaf blowing in the defroster vent (sounds like) the sound seems to come from the center of the guage console.

1busboy - you have very low mileage on a vehicle that is 1.5 years old. 13KM is only about 8500 miles!

 

[imaniguana]

He probably has two vehicles and splits the mileage between the Av and the other one. Lots of us have salt-runners and grocery wagons for the everyday use.

Yep, I have low kms!!! My wife drives the AV Monday to Friday to work (total of 10km both ways). We also have a 97 Cavalier Z24 that has 150,000kms that I drive to work daily.

This is not sounding like the same thing. The noise was strictly coming fom the left side of the dash & steering column area. ?Sounded like to pieces of plastic rubbing together or like the creaking from an old rocking chair. I ass-umed that it wouldn't be corrected. I guess I'm the ass. haha. The dealership pulled through.

The wife wants it. She loves the AV. She wants 2 of them, his & hers. If only I could afford it. I am a lucky guy. She is the one who wants & buys the mods too.
