'Com' on you lil #####!' is about all mine hears. However i'm sure it has a personality, lol cos everytime i treat it to a new part etc. it breaks and i swear its just to naff me off!
Ok well its been refilled with oil and its now running and i cant see anything wrong with it. its running as it should.....
This is baffling now and there a few questions that need answering:
Why did it do it in the first place?
Why did the plug fall out when the car had been stopped?
whats...
Can i just say that PM'ing is not an option for non-official members, i can see the obvious solution to that but i just think it a little unfair if we need to get in touch with someone but cant PM them.
just my 2p's
scrap what i just said i does make sense if it was loosing oil as to why the engine was getting grotty but i've heard that engines will seize almost straight away if they have no oil in them?
Ok well i've looked at it in the light, the sump plug has fallen out the bottom but not damaged either threads? it appears that this is where the oil has come from..... I assume this must mean that a build up of oil pressure has pushed it out. I could just put the plug back in and top it up with...
Well i havent driven it since. This sump is definately still there, but i couldnt say anything else for sure until i look at it in the light tomorrow. If its knackered the camshafts or cylinder head etc. how much would do you think i'd be looking at? considering i'm not confident to do it myself....
I'm all alone in my family, my mum has an A3 and my dad has a merc CLK and a honda CR-V. :( nevermind i always smile when they have to fork out for service, tax, petrol etc. :P
As some of you know i drive a pre-facelift 1994 k11 1.3 auto. Recently she hasnt been driving like she should although i couldnt put my finger on the problem and then it came to a head today.
I was driving along and she ground to a halt and stopped with me having no control over her so i started...
Harsh mate. i reversed into a post at the end of last year. Take the bumper off and see how much damage there is beneath the 'skin' you might be lucky.
In future though just drive on, never worth it getting involved in such shinanigans.
I'm with mark i liked the MSC back then. Dont get me wrong the mods are still doing a great job now. I guess we are creatures of habit. Reminds me of when i first got my k11. *sigh*
The wing is dead easy to change, Nex knows i did it recently theres about 8 bolts holding it on . took me and hour with 2 tea breaks :) gotta have tea and biscuits
I dont think theres a k11 in the club at the moment with deep dish wheels on it and i think the k11 shape lends itself very well for a euro style project. I think your best bet would be to fork out for some coilovers. go into 'Titch's' post in the buy and sell and make an offer on his. They may...
