God that is annoying. Did you say how many miles were on this motor?
Mine had some slight chain guide wear at 18K or so, not what we saw in Dan's photo but I wonder how much of the chain guide in this photo is...
The engine looks much easier to work on when it's OUTSIDE the car :-))
Okay Dave, stupid question..... The original regulator for the OEM alternator was the Transpo IN220, not the 265. That original regulator has...
Nippondenso. Regulator is easily removable; you just have to FIND another one :-)
Sounds typical of a socialist country :-) There is nothing presumably wrong with the alternator itself; so I am replacing just the regulator....
I also considered that the regulator plug and harness runs under the exhaust manifold on that side of the engine and is exposed to high heat...
So, this evening I finally got the #5 fuse to STOP blowing when the ignition key is turned. Unplugging the regulator harness from the alternator...
Carl, that's where I am headed next. Otherwise, I could end up disassembling the entire damn car and only find it under the very last panel I...
So this evening I went out and bought a fistful of 7.5a fuses and got to work. This vehicle has the standard SRI gold connector kit. One by...
Thank you for all the great help! Yes, at this point although I don't "like" the way my fusebox looks, I recognize that it is not CURRENTLY the...
Thanks for all the great ideas! Here is where I am at the moment. 7.5a fuse (#5) blows as soon as the key is turned to its first position....
Carl, I wasn't very clear in my descriptions, so here is the play by play. 1. Had instrument panel die while driving the other day. Also...
So I don't have time for full troubleshooting at the moment, but I quickly removed the access panel in the fender well and unplugged the pump....
And alas, I took the Maranello out for a drive today after replacing the water pump, went to switch on the heater to circulate the coolant through...
I know that cross-posting is annoying, but I like to keep this thread updated with a running record of all of the maintenance that I have...
Now that I had the old pump on the bench I wanted to take a look at the innards. There was a lot of evidence of internal contamination of the...
Today a new Bosch pump arrived for me to install in the 550. (Figure 1) To recap, I replaced my #5 7.5a fuse and the car ran normally again while...
Thankfully, I waited until disassembling my right front fender well to order a new pump. The pump part number in *MY* 550 is 0392020064...
OK Terry...I will bite: What does THIS photo tell you? This is my T/O bearing guide at 21K miles. How long do you think it has? [ATTACH]
