Nice. these certainly seem to be the flavour here. Auto I presume?

crosspug

Certainly will be! Plus rear suspension, top engine mount and torque mounts.

Make sure you do the engine-firewal mount while you're at it.

crosspug

Thanks Ash I'll make sure I replace it while I'm at it.

Since you have to have the scuttle panel off anyway to do it, it's a good time to do the pollen filter too.

Anything that can be done to the wiper motor/arms while that's off? Mine a bit noisy...

Sitting here waiting for me to swap, I figured like almost everything else with this car the basic servicing stopped some time ago...

List keeps getting longer! ha

Dont stress too much. I read your thread and my to-do list has been near identical.

The delta-link bushes in the rear arms are fairly easy too, despite the hilarious methods you can read about on some forums to remove them.
Might be different in environments OS that see snowy winters and salted roads I guess.

Wipers are noisy?
Wiper motor or arms?
Possibly a linkage wear issue. Depends on the noise.

So narrowed it down this morning quickly. Its both.

Some from the turbo coolant line and a bucketload under revs from the heater outlet hose at the block (sits under the lower radiator hose).

What is really annoying is I just bought some fcp parts on the 14th and couldve obtained replacements with that lot. I might just try shortening the heater hose for the moment then source a new one later. If not.... Another week off the road.

Yep very different over here right pain in.the ass to get off took me a good 4 hrs, one side played ball the other didn't I had to burn the feeker out which was fun with the fuel tank a couple of inches away

Ex850R

^ Mmm , havent checked mine , probably toast like this the way the LHR tyre wears....

crosspug

I'll have to check mine when i do the rear, too scared to look till then haha.

crosspug

Well there has been more progress...

Heater hoses done (tried a repair vs replacement but.... just replace!)
Accessory belt, tensioner and pulley all replaced,
Top torque mount done,

Lots of turbo parts arrived but not on.... new actuator, new boost solenoid (ac delco) and wastegate repair kit.

But hopefully a nice wheel update tomorrow.

AshDVS

Excellent. Sounds like you're kicking goals!

crosspug

Soo... All the above done! Plus rear suspension is in... ;)

Still chasing a hesitation at about 3000rpm and low boost "most" of the time. Seems better when power fed on slowly and no stomping on accel.

Weird... Was doing before parts change over and then after as well... I'm torn between sensor or boost leak somehow? But turbo "sounds" (various) appear louder than before as well. Much confusion.

Ex850R

O2 sensors OK? Coolant sensor?

Ex850R

Or boost control valve , but not likely..
Turbo dump valve spring shot?

crosspug

Bcv and and bov spring both changed. The darn thing isn't even throwing any codes to help!

egads (she/her)

Boost hoses suck closed on these?
