It's Been A While, But

Recommended Posts

That box has had loads of water in too which would lead me to think the driveshaft seals are torn.

Have just spent last 2 days with same issues and trolling through the usual suspects.

 

BUT! When I did the engagement pin securing screw diagnostic, . . . for the first time ever . .. . IT FAILED !! :Shocked:

 

Yep, when I checked the Pinch bolt, the last "supposed" Alfa Specialists had only done it up hand tight !!!

I was able to remove it with just my fingers !!!

 

New treated pinch bolt, torqued up per specs, EOL carried out . . . . Perfect, working as new.

 

 

Also something to watch out for that caught me out and had me absolutely buggered at the time . . .BATTER VOLTAGE!!!

All the diagnostic work and testing really saps your battery, and mine actually at one point got so low it "collapsed" to 9.00v.

 

First thing I knew was I had Airbag, ABS, EOL, SOS and every light come alive!! I thought I must have "arced" the battery terminal when I last connected it. Then I went to start the car . . .All I got was two loud CLACKS from the SS and silence.

 

As I was pouring gasoline over the car to use it as a funeral "Pryor" I went to put window down. . ..

ohhhhh sooooo sloooow . . the penny finally dropped! :Doh:
