1995 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 V8 from North America
Summary:
Wow
Faults:
I've had this car for about 8 months, and I've had to replace the starter and two coil packs.
Now it is acting like it is wanting to heat up, and I'm almost sure that the fans aren't working. I'm looking into a coolant sensor. I thought it would have been a blown fuse, but I can't seem to locate a fuse for the fan in any of the fuse boxes. If anyone could tell me about this, I would appreciate it greatly.
My car also leaks oil around the oil pan; not extremely, but about 1/4 qt. per week or two. If I get this fixed, it will cost me 1200 dollars, because to get to the oil pan, you either have to remove the engine or the transmission to replace the gaskets on the oil pan.
General Comments:
I like this car, and it has been reliable since I got it, except when the starter went out. But other than that, it's a nice car and runs great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

"Great drive, but can have many expensive problems"
- The 1995 Aurora was a totally new car for Olds, unlike anything they ever made before, and as such was a terrible lemon.
