Lincoln - Towncar :: Hiss Noise When Turning On AC Or Heat / No Air Comes Through Vents
I turn my car on. I have no error lights on my dash. The heater and AC control unit lights up. I press the down arrow on my in-dash heater/AC control unit so I can get some cold air. I hear a hissing sound for about 2 seconds, but no air comes through the vents.
I get the same effect when trying to use the heater. Quick hissing sound, no air through vents.
Both stopped pushing air at the same time (when my ac stopped working, I tried to put out heat just to check)
I have checked al the fuses under my steering wheel and in the engine compartment using a circuit tester (w/light).
There is an AC Clutch relay fuse in the engine fuse box. Not sure if I should check that.
Passat (B5) :: No Heat / Sweet Smell Through Vents
I noticed a few months ago I wasn't getting much heat from my 99 Passat. I had the cooling system flushed and checked. Still no heat even after having all this done. Not long afterwords I started noticing that sweet smell through the vents, but couldn't find any leaks. I checked the expansion tank and it seemed to be slightly low so I added some coolant just to top it off and there it was. Steam started rolling up from the drivers side where the coolant had dripped on the exhaust and that's when I found the leak. I took the screws out that hold the tank to the bracket and discovered the leak coming from a short tube that appears to connect to nothing leaking coolant. Now here's my question, is the tank suppose to have a hole in it ? I thought it was suppose to be pressurized. What I don't figure is why didn't the shop notice it when they were refilling the system.

It might be a bad heater core, but my heater works fine and there is no moisture on my carpet.
Occasionally I'll see traces of steam and smoke enter the car through the vents. I also smell a coolant smell. I was losing coolant very slowly, but the level has been holding.
Now my AC doesn't blow nearly as cold as it once did.
Passat (B5) :: Blue Smoke In Engine Compartment With A Sweet Smell After A Long Drive
Occasionally I get blue smoke in the engine compartment with a sweet smell after a long drive. No malfunction lights, oil, brake, coolant, power steering fluids all are normal level. VW service doesn't have a clue, says just drive it until it breaks down. He also informed I should never use Tiptronic for braking since it could damage the transmission(we live in the mountains). What is it for anyway? We use Mobil 1 synthetic oil, and it is not overfilled. Car has 120k miles.

Lincoln - Towncar :: 1997 - Replacing Oil Pan?
Replacing oil pan. It is a 1997 town car with the V8 4.6.The other mechanic told them that the pan is rotting through and it's not just a weeping gasket.
I have not had the chance to get this car to my shop, so I have not gotten a look at it.I'd just like to know what I will get involved with before I see the owners and the car.
how extensive this will be to get the engine up high enough to pull the old pan out.I'm hoping that I can just unbolt the motor mounts and jack the motor up a bit if need be.
Lincoln Towncar :: When Try To Start After Getting Gas Car Is Dead
I have a 2003 Lincoln Towncar. About once a month when I get gas and try to start after, the car is "DEAD"!!! The battery is OK and all the gauges come on but no sound-not a click! I have replaced the battery and the starter (twice), but my mechanic doesn't have a clue. After about 5-10 minutes the car will start.

View 2 RepliesLincoln - Towncar :: Engine Clicking And Vibrations?
I have a 2006 Lincoln zephyr. 3.0l v6. With fwd. I bought the car off Craig's list, from a private owner.
When I got it, back brakes were complete crap. Looks like never changed. Put on new rotors, new pads. The car was still vibrating, and making noises from the tires. Changed front brakes and rotors. Car was jerking when braking or at really slow speeds (0-15mph) even the jerking goes away, the vibration was still there. Went to ntb today, they changed my oil, rotated tires, and balanced front tires. The jerking gradually got better, I can't say it's there at all. As for vibration, still there, and tires in back are still a little loud. Someone told me my rim is bent? That does sound like something that could be causing this?? Another thing I have noticed is that the jerking in the car and the vibration get worse after driving for a while or when my sound system has been on for a while. Another thing today, after the oil change, I got home, and noticed a clicking sound coming from the engine. Seems as if the clicking starts after the car has been driven a little bit, then stays on until you turn it off and let it sit for a while
What it could be? IS MY CAR drive able?

View 1 RepliesLincoln - Towncar :: Heater Went Out - Air Flow Blocked
I have a 2001 Lincoln Towncar with 122k on it. The heater went out this winter and I took it to a guy that replace the blower motor. The blower was not the problem. He then replaced the main control unit in the dash. That made the blower work on all speeds as I can hear it running. The problem is, there is NO air movement from any of the vents on any settings. When switched to def, vent, heat I can hear it switching but nothing happens and I have a complete lack of airflow. I looked for a filter on the firewall that may be blocked and it appears to be missing, or this car doesn't require one?

My dad's 1993 Lincoln Town Car runs great but the fan for heat or AC only will run at full blast or nothing. Makes it difficult to drive when it's real hot or cold out. Can this be remedied without costing an arm and a leg? The car is 21 yrs. old and not worth a lot.

When the car is in drive, just about every time I press on the gas pedal, I hear a squeak, supposedly from the gas pedal. I think the only place this could squeak is the pivot of the gas pedal. I have tried numerous time to lubricate this pivot but no success. The last step would be to purchase the replacement part (gas pedal assembly) and install.
