Hey there Jon, Did you list this car on ebay around 5 years ago? I bid on one with that chocolate dash - was either an 84 or 85, i think, back...
Another tip: then though you're replacing the alternator, consider finding a good local shop that specializes in rebuilding. Have them do this...
Wait until you get the new part to decide. Not all 308 alternators have that heat shield.
Have posted this before, but FWIW... Nouvalari Exhaust: [MEDIA]
Yeah, that's going to need replacement.
I have those exact bosch brown and purple and blue and black relays.. they are perfectly fine.
Certainly have that badge on my 85.
Here's my point: he never mentioned the age of the hoses, nor anything else about the component particulars. My car had the hoses replaced 4 yrs...

Certainly feels like you will at times. Surface temp of concrete in Florida summer: 124F Asphalt: 140F That's from around 11am-5pm, with 95F...
Agreed. I've been a fan of a particular teams/competitors in various sports, and have never understood the need that others have to so actively,...
The first time my car started overheating like this, it came down to a bad radiator cap. There were some other leaks in the system, but it was...
Agreed. There's something wrong other than old cooling fans.
