I signed up a week or so ago to see if I could get some answers. I have a 2007 Aura. I have had it for 4 years. I got it fully loaded and for the first bit I enjoyed the car. Then the issues started. I have replaced alot on this car. But it sits dead in my driveway. I have posted in the aura section should anyone care to read and comment. I would lie to have her going again. It's a nice car when it functioning correctly.

I have never even looked under the hood of an Aura, Chad. But welcome to the forum and I hope you can find some answers here.

Yeah, at least on those, you have room to put your hand inside and check a few things. The difference between my PT Cruiser and Chrysler 200 is like that. Love the 200. Hate working on the PT!

Man, my GT has developed a small leak in the rack and pinion. I'm too broke to get another one, so will just have to keep it topped off on a weekly basis. That rack looks like a real beeeeotch to replace!

I had to do a water pump on mine back in december. I you tubed a few videos to see what I was getting into. I've done them on several other cars. After watching what it entailed and talking to a few shops, I took it to a mechanic to do. Took them 3 days, had to drop the motor 3/4 of the way out the bottom to get it. I am glad I disnt mess with it. One tooth out of timing when you start it you blow the head or turbo.

The squeaky wheel gets greased first, Chad. I'd call them and start raising hell. But, as derf can testify, I'm pretty much an a-hole.

I've been on them all week. Told them yesterday I want something done today, 2 weeks is enough time to get oarts, and get the car done.
