History
The complete Service History of my 1990 Pontiac McLaren Turbo Grand Prix

My car's Service History
I put this online so other W-body car owners who have similar problems can see what a possible repair might be. I have only included, unscheduled repairs. Regular maintennance such as oil changes, etc. won't show up here. I don't keep the best records so sometimes I don't have a mileage, or I'm not sure on the date. This list is in reverse chronological order.

Date	Mileage	Symptoms	Repair	Repaired by:	Cost
12/30/99	82,024	* Visibly melted HVAC check valve.	Replaced with a free part from junkyard.	Myself	$0.00
10/13/99	82,020	* Visibly leaking oil around oil pump drive plug.	Replaced oil pump drive O-ring & throttle body gasket	Myself	$2.45

* Problems starting with asterick is a condition that was present when it was purchased.
Each row with the same color are related to each other (i.e. repeat repair of the same problem).

These things were defective when I bought the car:
