lol, i wasn't sure what manual, but i did find it. I got the second hand alternator in the car now, i just got it home from it's delayed return (300 kms away) she's running fine, the turbo is'nt leaking oil anymore, at least nothing noticable. I stand by no leak oil treatment, recommend it to...

where is the rectifier?

is the rebuild kit specific to the alternator, or is it universal? if so, what would be the parts number?

i don't want to sell, but i canno afford to fix the car all the time, i got a baby coming in 2 months and i'm already 15,ooo in debt from buying and fixing it.

for a while, than stop. i just noticed condensation on the inside of the tail pipe.

hey guys, i tried to make it home from my vacation (1300 kms) on a leaky turbo. I got 9 hrs into my journey, and pulled over for a rest. I restarted the car after 3 hrs of resting, and my volt meter was registering 16 volts, and the battery light came on. I flicked my fog lights on, and the...

well i tried it, the turbo sealed up no problems, i drove for 9 hours. I stopped at 2 am, cause the animals were out. Got up at 5 am to finish the last 4 hrs, and i think my altenator went. Some guy had a battery charger where i was parked, i put in it on charge, charged it to 14 volts, and...

LOL yes our turbos have coolant running through them i answered my own question by tracing the lines going to the turbo So it must be the turbo creating these erratic symptoms. Steam from the coolant blowin past the seals Blue smoke from oil blowing past the seals Here's a Q for anyone who...

ok, rechecked the torque on the head - 58 ft/lbs and all where good checked the plugs - clean with white scale deposit checked radiator and resivoir - no black deposits checked oil - no milky color, just some bubbles* *when car is running the valve cover pressures up (took off cap and put hand...

at idle now, it's lightly showing white smoke, no visible loss of coolant from the radiator. Are these symptoms of a headgasket?

also, if i remove the blades from inside the turbine housings, plug off the oil lines, can i run the can like it has no turbo (except using the turbo as a exhaust pipe) for the meantime? **update** I pulled the piping off the compressor housing, and there is oil all over the outlet leading in...

here's my problem, i'm on vacation and 1,300 km's from home, and there's a big mountain in the way. I'm suposed to be back to work for tuesday. If my turbo is leaking, what do i need in parts to fix it?

got serious problems now, burned a litre of oil in 20 kms

thankx john, i will check the head when i get a chance. get this, the rain has stopped and so has the problem. I tried to get it to smoke again, but it won't - even when i turn on the heater. the car has a HKS high suction filter on it with the RS intake tube, so it positioned very close the the...

the plugs are clean (white deposit on em) and it happen more times today. i figured it something out, when i turn on the heater it starts to smoke, if the heater is'nt on it ok. It's more white than anything but when it does dispearse you can see a blue ting to it (normal?).

Hey guys, i did a search and i found some info regarding blue smoke issues. I realize that i could have a bad stem seal, or turbo seal, but it does'nt happen all the time, and mine is light gray and i thought i seen a blue ting to it when it dispersed:( This is the second time this has...

wow, i gapped these iridiums to .7 and what a world of difference. Idle is damn near perfect, no more rough idle...wooot.

Just went out and got Autolites Xtreme Performance Iriduim XP63 plugs, had them cross referenced with Denso 5307 - IW22 Iriduims. These have resistors as well, i will take your advice and play with the gaps.

shit... sorry for uprooting this thread i've been running BPR7ES plugs at .6 gap, where i added the 'R' in from the info you guys gave me i dunno, might of had a few joints before i went and got em LOL. Is this a problem, or is it ok? i've been running em since the last post on this thread, i...
