Vehicle: 1988 Mondial 3.2 Project: The following project comes from a client in Connecticut that took advantage of our summer service sale. Although in excellent condition, the vehicle had a few major mechanical issues. It was due for a major service. Normally, we could handle this service with the motor in, but to properly resolve all the issues it would be best to remove the motor. This makes it easier for us to look over all components. Some repair work is essential and some work being done is preventative maintenance. The comprehensive list of service is as follows: -Major service -Clutch malfunction -Oil leaks -Minor electricle issues -Replace fuel lines -Replace coolant hoses -Major detail service Image Unavailable, Please Login
Stage 1: The first electrical issue we ran into is common for the Mondial. The rear hatch would not open. Removal and inspection of the switch shows failure due to corrosion. An oem replacement resolved this issue. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Stage 2: As preventative maintenance, the fuse box is removed and rebuilt to prevent future failure. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Stage 3: Our technician Alex started by removing all electrical connections, fuel/cooling lines, and mounting hardware to free the engine. The vehicle is now raised to free the engine cradle.
