ok, i had a post a few days ago aboyt a clicking noise from my engine and a battery light...so here is an update with some questions.
well the dude from the shop called me this morning and told me that the wire from the positive battery terminal to the alternator had burned (melted). and that the clicking sound was coming from the exhaus manifold near the firewall.
so I go to the shop, and i look at the car on the lift, and...damn. i can't believe it. the cable, melted, burned, torn so bad. but that's not all. the egr tube is cut in half. there is almost an inch of a hole in the tube, right where the cable touched, and melted. how easy could I have cought electrical fire...i got lucky coz i parked the car 15sec after i heard the boom from underneath the car....so my point is, make sure all of you have a fire extinguisher in your cars!!!
so here are my questions.
1)any tips for changing the egr tube and whre to get a new one from??
2) this cable, is it all one peace, or not? goes from battery, to starter and then to alternator. where can i get one cheap? is a used cable from a junk yard a good idea? what you think?? ohh and how hard is it to change that cable/section of the cable...
sorry for the long post again...i am confused
