I’ve got a leak on the drivers side of the engine at the “band clamp” (pg 11-7 Fig.7 of the orange 2000 Service Manual). I’m having a radiator fan replaced Thursday for the second time in a year (passenger’s side failed twice) and since the car can be hoisted while there, I’m wondering if there’s some tool they can use to squeeze those two components at the clamp. According to the book, it recommends taking the entire system down to make such adjustments but I can’t imaging repair shops follow that procedure if there’s a short cut available. In another matter, my driver’s door actuator is buzzing now. This is my THIRD actuator on that car. The only one unaffected is the left rear driver’s side. Anyone found a source that sells these things a significant discount from the 5 or so that dealers want.? Wasn’t there ever a technical bulletin issued on these damn actuators that gave consumers a break. KeyRiced! At 0 a pop if a dealer does it, a guy could have a tidy sum in replacement costs.
