Guest Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 In the past we've discussed how hard it is to work on newer cars. Most newer cars I've worked on are a real pain because of transverse drivetrains, cramped engine bays, and cosmetic garbage covering everything.<P>Well, last weekend I did a tune-up on my '96 Mazda and I think it was the easiest tune-up I've ever done, even beating out my '74 and '70 Dodges. Maybe the '40 Chrysler would be easier but that car hasn't had a tune up in about 25 years. <P>Anyway there is some hope out there. At least Mazda realizes that someone might someday have to work on the darn thing!<P>Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 And assuming you have 4-wheel discs, and the rotors are in good shape, your next brake job (pad replacement) will probably be the easiest you've ever done also. From experience, I know htat brake pad replacment on my '92 Passat is a heck of a lot simpler than fiddling with brake shoes, springs, clips, star adjuster wheels, etc., on my old Bugs.
