Tim asks> Do they go out all of a sudden or are there symptoms that lead
up to it?
Couple of things I have seen (and I am NOT a professional mechanic, nor do
I play one on TV, nor did I stay in a Howard Johnson's last night, heck, I
normally have problems dressing myself in the morning) but most of the
failures are leaks from the seals. These are easy to detect.
They would normally go slowly, unless it is a result of a specific event.
I have noticed that more modern cars seem to have less problems with them.
I think overall they improved design/reliability on them.
So, the questions I would ask are...
-How old is the car?
-What symptoms are you seeing?
-Why do you think it's having an issue?
-Are you leaking any fluid, or is the reservoir low?
Oh, and I have a monopoly on the dumb questions here, don't try to take my
thing! 8>)
