I guess the switches could be replated or maybe find some replacements if severely worn. I would not try to fit something not original. The...
And the gauge stays constantly below 195 in traffic and highways ? I mean really at one value only, not moving down or up ? Mine reaches about...
Right, and burp the thermostat housing and radiator to get the air out. It may take a few rides ..
Maybe the cold start sensor on the top of the block is stuck closed ?
The tool does not look too difficult to make out of some construction metal plates (not sure the wording is right here) ... but when you build a...
I usually run the engine a few minutes to mix the oil a bit before draining. Then I leave the drain plug open when changing filter and doing some...
I figured out the steel pin might follow right or left of the thermostat housing and further down against the timing covers. I removed the wheel...
Great advice! I will try that ... and I have a snake cam as well. Wish me luck!
Just needed to tighten the air intake boot with a small steel pin. I dropped it, of course. It hit at least two metal surfaces until silent....
In my experience, it is not always easy to find the optimal inner diameter, colour, outer diameter, braiding etc etc. I think the dedicated SRI...
Hi, try to find FKM (fluorocarbon) hoses. They resist bio-gasoline as well. Other hoses go hard very soon and may leak.
Have a look at the thermostat, or just replace it. I have replaced thermostats again and again on various cars, mostly leaky ones where the temp...
The bolts I had was 212mm long with 1.5 pitch ... so not working. However, I found a Lada/Chevrolet Niva part for the shocks, 15542221.
What is the length if this one? I recall I may have some bolts for suspensions on other cars I have worked on.
I think the safe way is to use a spring compressor to ensure there are no forces acting on the bolt. Then after reassembly, jack up the hub so the...
Hi, I have seen this on all Ferrari cam belts I have (6). I do not use 3rd party belts, even though I guess they are good as well. Maybe, the...
Thanks for all comments. I guess risks are low with this bolt, but for curiosity reasons I will probably do a check for cracks and compare the two...
Hi, just wondering about the 111458 bolt. How many of those have sheared off over the years? Threads stripped? I am just thinking about my seat...
Any difference if you disconnect the wur heater connection (electrical) ?
Yes, the cold start valve is only a thermally controlled switch with delay. If the engine is cold, the switch is closed and injects fuel for some...
