Sentimental dreams are realized step by step, and the journey of LaCrosse’s old car is both bitter and joyful.

Hello everyone, I am Xiao Zhao, an entry-level apprentice in old cars. Last time I bought a 2003 seventh-generation Accord for my childhood dream. Please forgive me for my mediocre literary talent. Since my eldest brother gave me a seven-generation Accord, Xiaolu has been with me for nearly three years since I replaced the Accord. I suffered from the restrictions on the use of national second-class cars in the international market, so I could only drive it out for a walk during holidays, which was uncomfortable and unsatisfactory. I happened to go to Yichun, Heilongjiang Province to visit friends in November, and after walking around, I learned that Yichun does not limit emissions and saw many old cars still running on the streets. My brothers are also people who love old cars (both of us have BBA mid-level cars, Commercial car), I also met Xiaolu who drove me, and I gave the car to him as a joke. I was silently thinking about the feasibility (it was a waste of a parking space due to emission restrictions, and it would be inconvenient to drive only on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, this was a car given to me by my elder brother, and it would be disrespectful for me to take it.)

The frontal photo of Xiao Lu looks very beautiful and classic.

After coming back from Yichun, the idea of ??replacing a car with a delicious and inexpensive one has been in my mind. I also communicated with my colleagues to help me pay attention to suitable cars for China, Three, and Four that don’t cost tens of thousands of dollars. . After two or three weeks of looking at the old imported Escape 3.0, the 2009 Volvo C30, and the 2009 Passat Linger, some of them were in inappropriate condition, and some were inappropriate in price. Suddenly one day, a colleague told me that there was a second-hand car friend in the suburbs. I have a 2009 China IV LaCrosse 3.0V6 in good condition and the price is OK. I can go take a look at it over the weekend. I posted photos and looked at them, and I think they are okay. I mainly feel that the configuration is high. I checked the configuration information and browsed the forum. The scheduled weekend coincided with the first heavy snowfall in Shijiazhuang. Since my work depends on the weather, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I finished the work. I was worried that it would be troublesome to not drive on the expressway for a round trip of more than 100 kilometers. In the end, I was unwilling to give in. Decided to leave immediately to see the car.

The photos sent to me in advance, the front looks okay

Business style

Good waistline

The space in the back seat is average

There is also a TV

The 30V6 engine, The power of the 2.4 is not much greater, but the fuel consumption has increased a lot

We drove on the Xuehou Expressway just after noon on our way to see cars in suburban counties. . . . . Thanks to my colleagues for their support

My colleagues have been buying used cars for several years. They simply checked the condition of the car for me. There were no major crashes, no water damage, and more minor problems. After all, it was a ten-year-old car. , we are no longer picky. At that time, the car cost more than 300,000 yuan, and we got it at a 10% discount. What else do you want, a watch or a bicycle? . . . ?The bargaining process was skipped. In the end, I gave up the face and the price (it was snowing and foggy and I had to go back, otherwise I would probably get a lower price). Pay, pick up the car, and drive home. We refueled on the way back (we couldn't find the fuel tank button and trunk button and the gas station staff thought we were stealing the car). We walked back on the national highway and came back in trepidation. Three fault lights came on (ABS\TC\tire pressure) on the way, which affected my mood. .

The next day, I drove the car to my brother's repair shop and asked him to give me a simple repair, including the oil and water in the car, a few bulbs that were not working, fault codes, tire inspection, etc. My brother treated it like his own car and fixed it for me. The more he repaired it, the more problems he had and the more he repaired it, the more it became messy. The following is the specific envy

maintenance. . . . . . .

Replaced two tires

Replaced oil leakage screws

Belt and left front wheel bearing (in order to solve the problem of ABS\TC light, the solution will be later Confirmed to be invalid)

After three days of repairs and three days of anticipation, I was not idle, checking problems, learning about the car, looking for manuals, looking for relevant group organizations, and was fortunate enough to join the old LaCrosse maintenance and repair exchange group. , thank you all for your support. After understanding the condition of my car, you all helped me with a lot of ideas. Because the original Japanese Accord was different and many of the Buick's problems were different, after evaluation, I was impulsive in making repairs and did not understand the nature of the car's problems clearly. After subsequent driving, I discovered that the TC\ABS problem had not been resolved, the transmission oil was leaking, water was in the engine oil, and antifreeze was also leaking. . . . . . . . . Lost,. . . . . My family also didn’t understand why I was bothering to drive a good car. In the end, my wife supported and understood that if there was a problem, fix it to ensure safety as the bottom line, and don’t spend money arbitrarily. (Actually, I know I can’t scold me when my wife says this, so I can only say this).

This oil pan. . . . . . . . .

After studying and communicating in the group of car enthusiasts, I have to clarify the problem myself first. I cannot blindly act recklessly. When looking for a doctor, I have to compare three doctors and reach the same conclusion before taking action. After analysis and judgment, the variable tank oil must be solved. The antifreeze was found to be normal after the water pipe problem was replaced. During this period, I went to a specialized repair shop in the auto parts city to come up with a plan. I went to the Buick 4S store to read the fault (complain about it, read it at the Buick 4S store). The fault code needs to be charged 200 yuan, and a familiar friend's shop will check it for free). After prompting that there is a problem with the right front, left, and rear wheel speed sensors, the ABS\TC light comes on. In summary, I found a guy from another auto repair shop who fixed the water and oil leaks and replaced the bearings for me. . . After picking up the car for four days and using it for three days, it feels fine. There is no oil leakage and the fault light is gone.

The two old cars are also the cars of successful people in two eras. In my life stage, I envy the successful people

After the restructuring of Laoyue, it is time to go to a distant place after transferring the ownership of the Accord

< p> Lao Yue was doing repairs in the repair shop, and I was busy preparing for the move-out procedures of the seventh-generation Accord. I also communicated with my elder brother to replace the car with my friend. Thank you for agreeing! Because the Seventh Generation Accord is a corporate account and was processed before the three certificates were integrated into one, the insurance number needs to be changed to combine the three certificates into one. It was very quick to go through it early in the morning (thanks to the government for decentralizing services). The service provided by the relocation agency is also very good. It was all handled in one day. It’s time for the Accord to hit the road and go to a distant place. It’s time to use the remaining heat and the new owner loves the old car. I’m quite relieved. After completing the formalities and filing documents, the vehicle management office will mail them to the local vehicle management office, so I drove back to the Northeast first. Goodbye Accord, goodbye old car, and the feelings continue!

Car inspection (please prepare triangle plates and reflective vests)

Procedures

The seventh generation of Accord from International Village to Iraq Three days after spring opened, the brothers arrived safely and were waiting to go through the settlement procedures. I also drive Laoyue to continue my life and return to nature. It’s not that I like old cars, it’s that the cars I like are old! Pay tribute to youth, pay tribute to the times, and pay tribute. . . . . . . ?Request for advice:?Lao Yue has had unexpected problems in the past few days: 1. Or the ABS\TC light has appeared again, and I don’t know what to do? ?2. There have been two cases of power failure and no power the next day. After locking the car yesterday, I took off the review cable and there was no problem this morning. What is this situation? ?3. For the LaCrosse 3.0 manufactured in 2008, I can see that there is a rear sunshade, but I can’t find the switch?
