Brooks, If your system is that dirty you're probably going to be rebuilding stuff soon. NO bleeder on the clutch slave? I think you better check again. It's on...
Bob, I'm rebuilding the complete brake /clutch system with upgrades eventually if possible and improve the cooling. Fast cars like these need good stomping...
No it's not that hard. Yours is a FI so it's a little different than the Carb version. But I still suspect that you will need to remove the air cleaner box to...
Bob, Sounds like removing the air box is the ticket. Makes sense. I'll tackle that next week-end as we're going to be getting the liquid sunshine shortly. I'll...
Hi, My fuel pump on my '89 222e has recently failed, I have tried getting hold of a second hand one and haven't had any luck, a new one is £300+VAT so a...
Gareth, It needs the required pressure through the range of fuel consumption rates, idle to full boost at maximum rpm. The banjo fitting works well to attach a...
First, I hope that everyone had a wonderful new year's! My mechanic cannot get one of the struts out of its assembly. They've tried all sorts of penetrating...
Thanks Ron. Some one said to me that it is possible to remove the grub screw at the end of the fuel rail and attach a pressure gauge here? is this possible? ...
Hi, My french/german 430/228 user's man states 183kw(250hp) DIN power (this is less than SAE horses as it's measured with all main engine peripherals) for non...
You say your previous car was a 3L 164. I've had a 164 v6 turbo (205hp/300Nm) before. My 430 pushes much harder than the 164. ... anyway, ... read it....
HI everyone . Question , a friends car has excessively high oil pressure , tthe car runs well but pushes oil out the gaskets and goes off the charts when reved...
Gareth, I thought about that but used the banjo instead. I was concerned about subsequent leaks. The banjo worked along with two new copper sealing washers. I...
Hey! I would try to pour in a couple bottles of engine cleaner. Then let it run for a couple hours idling, then take it for a few accelerations. If no...
... My 164 was non-turbo and had 193BHP I think. It was good but at times I wished it wasn't front wheel drive. My 228 could beat it easily both in a...
Joe, Best to find the obstruction or fault in the pressure regulator. Look in the manuals at the oil pump and lubrication circuit. What year and mileage is the...
Hey! Just wanted to chime in.. Ron is right ofcourse you need to rule out all funny mechanicals. Swap out the pressure sender & filter. The pressure sender on...
I vote for torching the fr*cking car and collecting on the insurance. It's a lot simpler. ;>)) ... Ghibli was showing dropping oil pressure when I floored i. ...
The donuts are a common and standard part, just take a old / broken one to a muffler shop and buy some more. Cost $2 each at our local independent shop. Ron 84...
Followed it for a while this morning then a Porche slipped between us at a roundabout but coming of the roundabout they both took off in the fast lane so I...
Hi all! recently I asked the group for a steering rack part number, probably somebody still remember. Well, I finally got the part. Now I am ordering also the...
Hi, Could someone tell me if it's possible to remove/install the front bushes on front suspension arms with the engine frame in place ? And which kind of tool...
Hi, Yes diesel works. It also works with petrol. Don't forget to wash the engine with 6L of cheap oil: fill it, idle for 10 minutes, throw away (the oil, not...
