Convertible issues?


Buick rep

Recommended Posts

I am going to look at a convertible next week. I'm pretty familiar with the cars when they were new. What should I look for now? It's a 90 with 94 k miles. New top. Abs light on

I would perform the tests for the accumulator in the how to guides on this site.  Here is the link: https://reattaowner.com/roj/component/content/article/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=64:brakes-mechanical&id=172:accumulator-testing-instructions

 

You can still get accumulators off ebay for a couple hundred bucks.

 

You can check the ABS codes pretty easily. Here is that instruction:

Drive it on a bumpy road. The bodies aren’t as rigid as the coupes. If you get a lot of vibration then tires may need to be replaced.

Back wen new GM performed Reatta 'vert tests on a west Florida I-road that was notrious by all the nearby balance shops feeding on Yankees. Any that did not pass were not sold.
