Hey there everyone, I just bought a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI with AWD.

And I am in need of LOTs of education.

So links and comments and suggestions are very welcome :)

Here is my list of needs and I would be VERY thankful for any help you guys can send my way
The car runs good but has some issues. Can anyone talk to any of these issues?

- SRS light stays on. Ideas why?

- The boost falls off at max RPM, power is lost when holding gas pedal down. Whats going on? Boost leak? Turbo going dead? other?

- The sunroof does not work. Well, the button does not do anything, so i dunno if its the sunroof motor or the switch or what. What goes bad on those most often?

- AC blows but never gets really cold. Is this car a 're-charge AC' kinda car, or does it need a new compressor or what?

- The back hatch rattles, especially going over bumps. Is this just a need for new weather stripping? It seems to open and close fine...

- Brakes wobble a bit when braking. They have great stopping ability but if you are coming to a gentile stop it feels like the rotors are 'wobbly'

- The speedo does not work. Is this a simple fix of the speed sensor?



Again, I am not expecting 100% perfect answers that instantly fix my issues.
But if you guys can at very least point me in the right direction that would be really helpful, thanks!

-SRS: Scan the car with a code reader to see if anything comes up. I have BOTH my airbags removed and no SRS light, and I know it works. Check the connections for both to see if they're corroded or unplugged.

-Boost falling: Do a leak down test and a compression test, leak down first. You probably have boost leaks somewhere and a leak down will tell you where. The compression test will tell you if your head gasket or piston rings are bad.

-Sunroof: Unplug the connector and figure out which wires open the glass. If it opens, replace the switch, if not, their could be a number of issues such as failed motor, corrosion, or a blockage.

-A/C: Our a/c systems are rechargeable with R134 refrigerant. Also check the condition of the a/c belt, and to see if it's there in the first place.

-Hatch: Inspect your weather stripping for dry rot and the hinges and struts for loose hardware.

-Brakes: Check your brake pads, calipers, and rotors. Rotors could be warped, pads could be misaligned, or bolts could be missing from the calipers.

-Speedo: Make sure the sensor is plugged in. Sensor could be bad, or the speed gear could have come off. I'd just replace it.
