Congrats! Huge project like the 480 was or a short-term-repair and quickly-drive-again-project? BR Miki Hey. :) The car is in very good condition, but of course there are always some flaws which has to be repaired, renewed, fixed, etc. :) I will start it in this winter, until then just drive and en...

The new project has a name: Volvo C70 cabriolet, from 2002. Just bought it today..

Hello. Well, I sold it. :) The answer for the why is simple: it was ready. I realized, that I built something, I afraid to use. Driving it was more than stress, not joy. And cars like this were built for fun. So, I let her go, and now I am looking for a new project. But one lesson learned: No comple...

Yes. It makes sense.

you dont have to remove the engine, its enough to lift it up a bit. then you can remove the frame from below.

Porsche?

Well, the examination has done!
My turbo is fine! The axle doesnt move much, there is no heavy wear, or any sign of damage.
The strange noise is a leak somewhere in the tubes, which I have to sort out.

I had very busy months, but finally from now on I will have some time to do some things on the car.. I still did not fix the injectors, but at least I know now, that is the source of the problem. Besides this (and my fears of the turbo) everything is just fine with the engine. There aer some annoyin...

So, infos and pictures will come at the weekend.

welcome back.

Would you be so kind as to explain? This is new to me, and I have some fuel related problems as well.
Thanks!
