Just to make sure I have this right, I'm looking down into the ECU and TCU housing and I hook up my multimeter like so and test continuity on pins A3 (jn P, R,N, D, 3, L), A4 (jn P, R,N, D, 3, L), A5 (jn P, R,N, D, 3, L) and A6 (jn P, R,N, D, 3, L)? Yes, that's right. If you look at the chart in th...

Finally I did not managed to get results and ended up to purchase a used instrument package ftom a very similar donator - and its working.

stick a thin piece of wood in both sides of the rotor if you hit the pedal with the pads out. I am pretty sure the rear calipers will psuh both pistons out and blow fluid everywhere without oads. I would have two new calipers in hand once I committed to opening the brake system, if it is that locked...

Having a difficult time locating a tutorial/ video on this project. After refurbished the struts, put new tire on and found the tie rods needed replacing. Naturally when pulling the boots back to remove inners discovered fluid within leading to rack replacement. While at it the control arms were de...

Just a follow up. I did not take the car in and ultimately got things right. Here’s a quick rundown of work done to stop the crankcase pressure. Another smoke down revealed vac leaks at PTC and the bottom end of the intake hose that goes into turbo inlet. The PTC rubber boot was no longer sealing. T...

Agree with Abscate and Sveedy - I had a horrible idle problem...bought a smoke machine (simple cheap one) found 2 leaks... replaced the lines and boom smooth idle. and no issues since then.

ok guys... I got new calipers and pads and had a chance to swap them out. The pins were corroded and the pistons while not stuck were very very hard to move. The combination of crudy pins and pistons was the culprit. I took abscates advice and had new parts on hand before disassembly. That was good ...

Nice! I did hit them a few times with penetrant over the course of a couple days. I will remember the heat in the future. They were not horribly stuck, but I was taking no chances.

next up is a spring seat replacement....

And yes, it is a thing!
