Hey, need some help here please…
I bought my very first car an 87 ford escort and had a problem with it. My car was over heating and the gauges for the temp and fuel would be rising randomly like crazy so I brought it into the mechanics and they told me that the fan belt switch was gone and they had to replace that. So I got that fixed and then a few days later I noticed that my car was leaking antifreeze fluid. I brought the car back to the mechanics and they took a look and said that I over heated the head gasket and that it would coast me 2,000 Canadian dollars to fix it so instead they added this sealing fluid as a quick fix. I want to fix the head gasket on my own. I wont have any help besides a repair manual that Ill buy … so I really need some help here because I have no experience with cars :? .. But im willing to work on mine so if anyone here is willing to help me out that would be really great!
Also, I need to clean one of my headlights because there’s condensation building up and I wanted to ask how do you remove the head light bolts because one has already snapped and it looks confusing.. One last question, I have rust building in one spot which is above the driver side on the corner of the roof (where the rain runs off) I cant seem the find the name of the paint on the car.. Its grey, I will need to upload some pictures of the car. Anyways I want to remove the rust and fix the problem. Does anyone know how to do this too? I know that all these things will be a big project and time consuming.. So I need some help Please.
Thank You!
