So the car is now mine and I picked it up. Had some problems on the back transfer, a cable fall of the alternator so that the battery was empty when I restart the engine.
Today I checked the car for problems and realise that there is a lot to do.
A/C compressor missing
Power antenna, original radio (find some newer radio in the glove box), courtesy light, washer pump, hazard flasher, cruise control doesnt work
I hope you can help me to solve following points:
1. Im searching for some repair manuals to restore my Riv. Which is the best choice? Is this the best choice? Rockauto Link
2. I think the biggest part dealer with international shipping with good prices seems rockauto (seems my favorite)? Find also some parts on opgi and oldbuickparts. Is there any other dealer which you can recommend?
3. I add some photos the weatherstrip sealing of the doors is really poor. But I dont know which is the right part
4. I only know modern cars but I smell a lot of gas as I drove the car at home, today as I open the garage I also smell a lot of gas. Is it normal?
I found behind/under the ar filter a hose which connects the air filter and the engine. Around the connection between the hose and the engine is some fluid. It was wet and smells like gas but I wonder that its not dry maybe some oil/gas mixture?
5. Has anybody for me a photo with open trunk? Some specialist glue in 2 golf balls in two holes
6. All cigarette lighter cant deliver 12 v for gps/smartphone right?
7. Is there any easy access to check the switches for power antenna, courtesy light, washer pump and hazard flasher?
8. Cruise control button makes some magnetic noise but cant feel any cruise control
9. What is the floor switch under the parking brake for?
10. Does somebody have some inspection plan?
Sorry for all the questions ;=)
The Riv is now in good hands!
