No, but you could say the boxer engine is a 70's, 80's and 90's engine with a lot of changes along the way. I believe the original point was "since when is the...
Hi Terry, My 430 4V has active suspension and according to the Handbook description the system has an ecu that monitors the signals sent from the suspension...
Hi all, One of my friends has recently purchased a 1987 2.5 carb Spyder and he wants me to do some service work on it. Its done about 60,000 mls from new but...
Based on group recommendations I switched to Redline's MTL. Better match to the 30 weight spec in the manual then their MT90's 75W90 rating (equivalent of...
Please note that is incorrect, it's 30 weight gear oil not motor oil. It's a different specification. In any event you've already gotten some good advice. The...
I have had no fuel gage for a while. Yesterday the fuel pump decided not to work? Do these two work together? What can I do to check if it is the sending unit...
SV, Same here, my fuel gauge now reads 1/4 full all the time, and no digital clock as of two weeks ago. This could be the crimp connectors being corroded in...
Would you be able to tell me where at the fusebox the crimp connecter is located for the fuel gage/fuel pump? I have no fuelpump running at all. Is there...
Hey everyone. In my '87 425i, there's this "Hella" pump with three electrical prongs on it (only two of them are used) in my passenger side wheel well . What...
That is the vacuum pump to provide power brakes when the engine is in boost. There are two small cannisters above the firewall on the passenger side to hold...

Well from my past experience its as simple as the vacuum supply to work the heating controls when the turbos are boosting! I had a problem with my car when...
My car is a LOT later but on the Ghibli open cup it is indeed as Ron describes as vacuum pump for the brake booster. So if you do decide to part with it, the...
Hi all, Thanks for the advise I have used the redline 75/90 synthetic gear oil in my Audi Quattro and found it made second gear synchro a bit more notchy when...
Syntrax 75w/90 Castrol Regards Terry _____ From: BiturboZentrum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BiturboZentrum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Dodge Sent: Thursday,...
Hi Mike I found that a full synthetic (syntrans from Castrol) cured my gearbox change problems in the 430. It is a red dyed oil that looks and feels like auto...
In my wheel well there is a similar pump which is the pump for the windshield washer. I've been through hell with that pump, finally realizing that the pump ...
If it's a USA car the passenger side has the vacuum pump, on the driver's side is the windshield washer. Is it swapped the other way on some vehicles? Ron ... ...
In the USA the 'passenger side' is on the right hand side. In some other countries, on the other. So, probably an issue with nomenclature? Although, I think...
... My air horn pump is located next to my coolant reservoir, which can exacerbate problems if (when) overheating occurs. The pump is about the size and shape...
... *Why not Port & Starboard?* Right and left have the problem of needing to specify the orientation of the observer. So the air pump that pumps air into...
Braking during boost is no issue of course. But each of my biturbos has had the vacuum hoses changed around such that the one way valves that allow vacuum to...
Hello, I have a biturbo 1987SI 2.0 Before you start the car it run's a check (all the lights light up on the dashborad) same as you press on the "check"...
I traced the air circuit from the vacuum pump on my 430 directly to the resivoir that supplies the hesting and ventilation system. On nearly all cars I have...
Hi, The ECU has its own temp sensor mounted on the thermostat housing usually with a blue top plug and two wires. It is a special sensor with a specific...
I think Mike is correct on this one. Look at the size of the hose on the booster which has a "T" fitting that taps into the manifold. The other leg of the "T"...
Yeah, just a few bits, odds 'n ends, a couple cases of bondo, tires/wheels and your almost there ... There have been some nice inexpensive (in Ferrari terms)...
I tested the fuelpump and it works fine. Somewhere between the pump and the ignition I have a break? And I still show no gas through the gas gage either?...
HI, I know that the blue sensor is for the ECU,and the 2 green wires is for the temp sensor for the temp gauge (the 2 green wires on the 6 pole connector on...
