  Probably a dumb question on my part,but when you put the sensor and pipe back onto the new pump,does the pipe have 2 washers either side top and bottom? Ive just put the pipe back on and can only see one washer which is on top then the sensor on top of that.?

• 
  @trackrekord17 күн бұрын

  No question is a dumb question in my book! Yes, that fitting is what’s known as a banjo bolt and if requires two new crush washers - one on either side of the fitting on the hose. Hope that helps. If you don’t have both it will leak power steering fluid everywhere.

  I'm enjoying your journey changing the IMS bearing. I am considering buying a Boxster and will likely change the IMS immediately as you are. By the way, if you always hit your head on the same spot on the lift, put a pad on that spot. It will be cheaper than a visit to the emergency room.

  Hi, I love your systematical approach to this job as I do it for all my recent mechanical and electrical jobs on my PORSCHE cars. I have to do it in this afternoon on my 986 (5/1999 with 233.000 km).😁 The expansion tank is now about 170 € in the best OEM quality (Mahle/Behr). I was as well told, that this is a hard job even for experienced (PORSCHE) guys. With your video I'm looking forward to.... Greetz from Germany (in the vincinity of Zuffenhausen)

Now the fixture ring fits tight and after some treatment with a heat gun, all parts can be mounted without mechanical tension/stress

  2 years in with my Kona Ultimate EV, I'd buy another tomorrow but all cars come with negatives here's what I"ve found. There's an enormous well at the bottom of the windshield, this fills with snow which then becomes ice and well, it's a pain. I bought a hood/windshield cover for $25. The 12 V is critical, while an ICE car will go without the 12 battery, not so the Kona. There is no way to tell the condition of the 12 V battery and if it starts to go, you're in trouble with the potential of getting stranded or worse. It appears there are "devices" operating from the 12 V battery that you don't know about, so taking care of this critical element of the car is ... hit or miss. I don't know what the size of cell phones are in Korea, but might does lie flat in the cell phone cubby hole, someone wasn't thinking. I thought I'd criticize the manual but every manual of every car I've owned has been awful, the Kona EV's no worse than average... Now, as has been mentioned in some of the comments, driving an EV is different, dealerships are awful at knowing how to transition people from ICE to EV. It would be a simple matter for the manufacturer to write netbased training program, but I suppose that would be too customer oriented.

  i have the same car. When I first bought the car, range is 300+ miles which is wrong. I believe the computer will learn the true range over time, which about 250. after a year+ of driving it. my total range is now 250. so there is no battery degradation.

•

  I would agree with that - there was one “update” that the dealer did that seemed to upset the range, but after the 12v battery died and I replaced it the range calculations have settled in around 265 miles, which appears to be to be accurate, from our usage

  It’s running great - if they are well maintained and not thrashed (particularly when cold) there is no reason why they cant last 300k miles.

• 
  @trackrekord4 ай бұрын

  Looking forward to it too - hopefully no rain this time. Yes we changed one of the hangers at Barber - what I found was two things - the exhaust as modified to remove the catalytic converter isn’t quite the shape it was before so it was misaligned at the back - putting lateral strain on the hangers, plus the wider tires on the 16” wheel was causing the tire to rub on the silencer, putting even more strain on the hanger. I managed to fix it by reversing the hardware so the hangers are more vertical. That exhaust weighs too much and is too quiet (some of the drivers said they couldn’t hear the engine), so that will be a modification in the near future!

  out of all high speed stability changes I dont really mind the spoiler, cfd results have shown up to 60% or so in reduction of rear lift and for a short wheelbase car every bit helps, however, Im not a fan of audi messing with the suspension or adding esp, cars got less sharp, which is fine for the general masses I suppose, but disappointing for the enthusiasts. I have an early 99 apx 225ps coupe in black and absolutely love these cars. Steve, yours is a really nice example, if only mine was this good when got it. Ive done a fair amount of work to mine over the years, mainly lots of oem parts for reliability, but also some modifications to make it more focused keeping it as a dual purpose machine. I would highly recommend sourcing pre recall front control arms if possible, they use smaller front bushings as originally intended (I believe 30mm vs 45mm) same result can be achieved using metal inserts, for bushings I went with poly from a company in Poland called StrongFlex, also running monotube Bilstein B14 suspension, locally fabricated rear camber arms with heim joints, standard 14mm drilled arb raising the effective stiffness rate for the price of a couple good 10mm drill bits, lowering is kept to a minimum for roll center, I could go on and on, but you get the idea. In the near future plan on taking the car out for a lap in Nordschleife

  Thanks for all the input, definitely food for thought - I am keeping this as a road car, I have plenty (my wife would say too many!) of track-focused cars, but I definitely want to sharpen up the handling. There is a clunk coming from the rear which needs addressing and the front upper shock mounts are clearly in need of replacement. But first of all I have coilovers to fit t my Boxster! Have fun at the Green Hell - I wish I was able to visit with one of my cars. Thanks also for the compliment on the car - I couldn’t believe the condition when I got it and I was prepared to pay more than I actually did in the auction.

  A very honest, sober yet inspiring "closer look" at this icon of automotive design - showcased by your lovely Mauritius blue example. Yes, it's not a bonafide sports car as you state, as it shares its underpinnings with some of its siblings, but isn't it just a sight to behold and a joy to drive? Yours just pops in Maurtius blue with its Aniseed yellow on black interior, and is in lovely condition.
