I am having a problem getting the alternator belt installed. First I loosened the central bolt on the tensioner. Next there is a bolt at the...
AC compressor belt installed. Next time I will be an expert. This time, it took a lot of time. Looking at the compressor from below the car, in...
Minor update. Releasing nuts/bolts C and D: There is not a lot of room to work on these bolts, but I got them loosened up which allowed me to...
Agreed. No. Both dials inside the car were/are in the off position. And the stop button was/is still depressed/engaged.
I did not know that, so I appreciate the input, but I was worrying about it once I saw everything looked okay with the car off, and not warmed...
Sounds right. C and D lock the position. E is the adjusting bolt. I was skeptical of the English directions. As the Italian ones mention bolt E....
I will have to see if something, like a band clamp, came loose on the top part of the engine, but I don’t think so. No one has been working on...
Update. I looked at the pulleys on the alternator and AC compressor and they both spin freely. As does the tensioner. The water pump belt, up...
Yes. Gauges were all normal. We will see when I get it all opened up.
Seems like a very good idea, for the $20 they cost from Ricambi. OTOH I have not had a belt break…ever, until this case. In a bit over 40 years of...
Wow, excellent. Yours looks mostly original. And a great color. A lot of the ones I see on BaT are strange colors, after repainting I suppose....
I miss my X1/9 light blue metallic. Loved it.
Photos of broken belt I was able to access. Another belt is off the pulleys and hanging down below the engine. Maybe there is a third belt that is...
[ATTACH] My apologies. I only saw two belts in this diagram. Not counting the timing belt in the back of the image. As I said, one belt, I do not...
Guys, I would appreciate any thoughts. I had both rubber accessory belts break yesterday, one is labeled Dayco, K5/199830, the water pump...
Just a strange suggestion. I bought a plug that goes into the cigarette lighter in the center console, you know, the 12v adaptors. I fused that to...
Thank you. I also will probably grab this radio. My car came with an alpine unit that I do not like. Your Bremen does have bluetooth connectivity...
Yup. I have an alpine unit now. With CD hidden in the frunk. I will look for one or your units on Ebay I think. How did you get bluetooth?
I have the Porsche PCCM single DIN. I installed it myself in a 930 (‘86). Thoughts?A quick review? Hmmm…it has only been in the car for a few...
Any luck finding a 930? I bought a guards red ‘86 about a year ago. Tan interior. Not mint, and with about 100K miles. Seems bulletproof. LarryH’s...
