Scooter Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Regular/known faults with the Mkiv are very few and far between. Things that wear out like Crank pulleys, coil packs and wheel bearings are the few things that seem to be more talked about more than in years gone by......... what other items/parts do you think will become an issue in the next few years. I'm thinking wishbones, engine mounts maybe anything else spring to mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff_Rider Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Recently had the crank pulley literally break in two pieces as they do. Also, power steering failed a few months ago. Fitted a second hand pump, didn't work! Sent my pump for refurb, didn't work! Sent rack for refurb, didn't work! Pump sent back, found was still faulty, re-refurbed and fitted, didn't work! Turns out after all that, air was still in the system when parts refitted and took mechanic half an hour to work it out of there. In the end it wasn't exactly clear which component was faulty, but all works fine now and hopefully wont happen again for another 10 years! Apart from that, runs like a dream.

Digsy Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Things that spring to mind: Front crank pulley - rubber failure. Turbo oil seals - leaking. Valve seals - leaking. Rear wheel bearings - replacement. Sticky brake calipers/pins (J-spec) - refurb / replace. Cracked brake calipers (around bleed nipple - J-spec???) - replace. Boot rubbers - replace. Front and rear anti roll bar drop links - replace. PAS pump - replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondango Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 what other items/parts do you think will become an issue in the next few years. mind? Water pump, Bearings (big ends, Cam shaft, prop), Headgasket?, exhuast manifold gaskets, oil pump, valve Shims, Piston rings... Depends on your millage/driving style and luck really lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-san Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yep, I think more often than not the pesky N/S rear wheel bearings are already showing a trend for the worse. Bushes are getting crusty and droplinks will probably start to show their age, especially with everyone going with aftermarket wheels these days. My dust boots have also disappeared without a trace... And ceramic tubbies may become rarer by the day. Still, 12 years and going strong despite all of these things!

Alex Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Guys, there's weak points and then there's parts that suffer wear and tear. Please make sure you distiguish between them. Lets face it on an upto 14year old car everything that moves, expands and contracts can fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Good point Alex, I think I misinterpreted the question. I'm keeping an eye on this one, it'll make for interesting reading. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 RH Dash Panel lights - (Oil/TRAC/ECU lights) suffers dry solder joints. Heater control buttons can go the same way, but much rarer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it on an upto 14year old car everything that moves, expands and contracts can fail. and remember these cars will no doubt still have a following if a classic/modern classic one, in another 10 years of time - Hence my list of things that will go eventially on the engine and drive train that is over 25 yrs old..

Scooter Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Old thread bump............ Not too many more issues? Main ECU's, some VVTI throttle body issues, electric seat motors, aircon issues from ageing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 A lot more that are plastic and rubber related are past their best and can lead to performance and aesthetic issues. A few examples would be coil pack clips disintegrating. Engine bay loom clips crumbling. Rocker breather hoses becoming fossilised. Door cards splitting on the lower seams. Dash splitting at the window edge. Boot plastic clips breaking when panels are removed. Rocker cover gaskets leaking. Valve stem seals worn out. Then with rust the fuel tank breather pipe corroding away. Fuel tank guard corroding from the inside. The front to rear fuel and brake lines corroding. Back of diff to sub-frame mounts going soft potentially leading to transmission hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob360 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 window switches, various ecus, speedos, speed sensors on autos, wiring harness's becoming brittle, intake silicone hoses collapsing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Boot rust is a common one. But the most uncommon issue no resolved is yellow headlights. Rusting fuel tank hangers are a dodgy one. As all hidden away. Worth checking and cleaning up. Mine was a tight state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayr Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 surface rust underneath the wiper cowling and top of the boot hinge where the boot meets the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 2006 regular known faults are not common. 2019 we have seen alot of similar situations reoccur now. And documented most thanks god for this forum and the members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
