I have a 2000 mustang v6, been a good car, had to put a new tranny in at 90000 mi, but other than that its held up, right now im at 130000 mi and problems are arising.
Problem #1:
the car started making terrible noises under the hood. opened it up, no oil on the dipstick, took 4 quarts to get back in the hash marks, ran fine, no noises. a friend told me that maybe it was a bad pcv. i replaced it, and checked the oil regularly, 2 months later same thing, 4 quarts low. Filled it up and started checking it every 2 days, seems to lose 1 quart every 2 weeks.
there is no smoke that is noticable, and it doesn't leave oil on the ground where it is parked, what could this be?
Problem #2:
the connection between the fill hose and the gas tank is cracked, napa says you can only get this at the dealer, i would like to avoid that. where can i find one??
any help would be nice,
thanks
