Here's the update on my VX Pearl (as in Tahitian Green):-):
She suddenly and silently stopped working a block and a half away from home. I have video of the flatbed action.
So. I now have a new distributor igniter, ignition coil and the replacement cap is coming.
I am happy to give this car what it needs to thrive not just survive. That said. I am Not cash rich. I Need to save for a timing belt/water pump install.
In the meantime and for future reference, What is the cheapest but best way to purchase oem parts? Is there a reliable online dealer? Local dealer?
I expect to see mpg improvement soon!
I Promise to inflate my max 40 psi tires to 40 or higher :-)
Need to ensure air filter and trans fluid is okay.
My mechanic thought he heard slight tapping when he test drove it and wants to adjust the valves. (So many parts i hope i quoted the right one) ?
The questions:
What about installing an oil catch can and the three area Seafoam treatment Ive read about? If we are running the Bgs cleaners, could we be kicking up gunk?
Should I have him check cam timing?
Last for now:
Anyone in Colorado who'd help me install an Mpguino? :-)
Happy travels.
