| Mercury Cougar in Quebec, Canada Jun 2015 - Jul 2017 | |||
| Oct 2015139872 miC $286 | Vehicle stalled on highway during heavy rainstorm, towed to garage. Mechanic determined issue with charging system. replaced Alternator with used part. no further issues. | ||
| Dec 2015142290 miC $480 | Front right bearing disintegrated 500m from highway onramp. one change of pants later and four hours of work in a local garage and I had it changed. it was most likely the OE part. Change your bearings when they get noisy, folks. | ||
| Mar 2016143592 miC $8 | Vehicle had a large, hard to pinpoint coolant leak. very odd symptoms : leaked only in city driving, once thermostat open, no leak on ground. replaced lower radiator hose, area surrounding hose was grimy and dirty. vehicle no longer leaks. | ||
| May 2016145390 miC $104 | replaced factory oil pan due to badly seized drain bolt. replaced with lightly used Ford Escape oil pan. broke off two exhaust studs on the collar to the rear bank's header, by some miracle no noise level difference. | ||
| Jul 2016148645 miC $364 | replaced passenger side knuckle, hub, and bearing. Bad ball joint caused bad bearing, bad bearing caused bad hub, knuckle was damaged from previous issue. | ||
| Sep 2016149885 miC $245 | old alternator brushes were worn out. should have been a 15$ part, but knowing how big a job it is to pull the alternator on this car, I decided to replace the entire alternator with a new reman unit, with lifetime warranty. | ||
| Oct 2016155000 miC $3 | replaced right side fuel strap /w good example from the local pull yard. old one was rusted through and no longer securing the tank. left side seems fine for now. new straps are 300+ CAD$, so used or fabricated ones will do. | ||
| Dec 2016155000 miC $115 | replaced water pump housing only; water pump seemed alright. housing restrictor plate had come loose. changed thermostat, flushed heater core. I now have a heater again. Yahoo! | ||
