Questions on a new SVX
Hi,
I'm new to the board and an SVX. I just bought a '92 LS w/76K. I am in the Maryland area and am strongly considering visiting Tom at SVXfiles. My car has the following problems: 1. Rear diff is leaking 2. Guessing Rear bearings are bad also, lots of noise (possible some from tires, but definitely other) 3. Oil leaking from driver side of motor, valve cover? Any idea how expensive these repairs should be, and how difficult parts may be to get? I figure I'm looking at a couple grand. Otherwise I love the car and it drives perfectly. I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow to get a full evaluation, but would like someone who knows more about the cars to see it eventually. Thanks for any help, Mike

Welcome to the site. I would also say that svxfiles will do a great job for you and he is very reasonable when it come to price as well.

Good Ole Tom
Im up in CT, and plan on taking my 96 POLO to Tom Terrific ASAP, as I to have sprung leaks. I spoke to him a few times on the phone last summer when my own personal mechanic was working on my other 96 Lsi red, and he went above and beyond to help us understand how he does the repair and the right way to do it. If I didnt live 400 miles from him, I would have already left my car with him. Im so looking forward to meeting "Good Ole Tom"
no not pawn shop guy on TV uphere but the Real Tom SVXfiles. Im sure I will be delighted with his work from everything, and plan on taking my svx's to him in the future. Hurry up, what are you waiting for, bring it right in, and say hello to "Good Ole Tom"

valve covers, front, and rear seal leaks are common, as are the rear wheel bearings going bad..among other things. send OT a message, give him a call...set something up. you wont be disapointed in his work
