I just got it back from the shop earlier this week for a helix coil job due to a blown spark plug.
Yesterday, I took it to another shop for charging up the AC due to me having changed out the low pressure shrader valve and compressor late last year. I went to the shop to get this done before summer is in full effect. While getting my car charged up, they said they found an issue with the AC system where it wouldn't hold any of the coolant and didn't know why. They weren't able to really troubleshoot the issue since I took my car in close to their closing time so they'll need more time with it to find out what the issue is.
I also found out that because of my car's negative camber wear, the inside tread is eaten up to the point where the belts are about to start popping out real soon. This means I'll be needing new tires real soon.
Then, there's the suspension that I can start hearing creaking and groaning more and more due to the deterioration of bushings either beginning to fail or already failed.
There's nothing like having a 13yr old car with 240k miles on the clock...
