What has broken down in your MR2? - Page 2

needforspeed · 09-17-2009, 06:48 PM

A copious amount of parts have failed on my 89 Supercharged in the 3 years and change that I've had it.

Alternator, twice
Brake Master Cylinder
Clutch Master Cylinder
Idler Pulley
AC compressor clutch
Positive Battery Cable
Dash lights (due to bad switch)
Head Gasket
Multiple Vacuum hoses
Multiple seals and gaskets

And I'm positive I'm forgetting some.

Makes it hard as it's my daily driver. But boy is it fun to drive!

Handbrakes cable frayed and snapped on my first MR2
Then alternator failed
Then blew a hole in my gearbox

So far nothing has gone wrong in my new one.. just waiting for the battery warning light to come up on my dash lol

Quite honestly...... just about everything....

Engine...
axles
transmission
seen wiring woes
alts
starters (my wifes is on it's 9th)
wheel bearings
cables
heater cores

that being said.... if you have a parts car or know what to look for at a junkyard, they can be very inexpensive to fix.... if you have friends who work at a parts store it isn't all that expensive....

It can be a very VERY reliable car.... they can also be a pain in the ass. They all tend to do both.... and sequential.... it'll be very very reliable then a bunch of small things will come up.... then very reliable.
