what problems does your car have at the moment?
This car really pisses me off sometimes.....
- Returning 250km a tank from mostly unboosted driving but stop start short journeys in the winter to and from work at the moment Have had 380km form a tank in the summer with allot of boosted motorway driving. - IAC valve sticking....high RPM even when warmed up then just drops to 850rpm all of a sudden - small oil leak somewhere - Turbo oil return line leaking. Tightened jubile clips. still leaking. Third time Ihave replaced it now. How about you guys? |
Odd thing is, most of my car problems are with parts not even on the car yet!
|
not being turbo yet.

- Bad Oil Consumption
1qt every 750-1000 miles. Burning oil smell. No visable leaks. - Flywheel ChatterEither: Oil Drainage problem, Rings, or Valve Guide Seals I'll be tinkering with the oil plumbing this weekend, I hope it's just the heavy rotation of my CHRA. 9Lbs Lightened flywheel chatters like a diesel truck idling. - Exhaust RattleExhaust rattles on something just as a engage the clutch in 1st gear. Haven't been able to find the source. - Pierburg Pump WhineToo loud, need to replace or move it. - 1.6 RearYou are the weakest link. |
other than a *little* leak at the oil return line that doesn't drip any oil, no problems. Mine idles a little lean compared to others, but I don't see it as a problem.
<edit> the oem clutch is starting to get unhappy at 9psi. |
Leaking oil pan because I used a gasket rather than RTV only. Fragged clutch disk- new unit sitting on office floor. EBC isn't work, just haven't had time to trouble shoot. That's about it. Not bad considering the scope of the project.
I have successfully stopped leaks at the heater core connection by double clamping- maybe try that. - rob |
Clutch hydralic lever squirls when no pressure is applied.
- A thick coat of Luberiated Gelly between the lever and push rod, really did the job. But I have to lub it every oil change. |
clutch rattle, sounds like my pilot bearing is already shot. probably my fault. that's it though.
|
My downpipe rattles against a little cross brace under the transmission at certain rpm's.
Stock clutch doesn't like boost. My I/C is on my workbench at home instead of in my bumper. My stock injectors are too small. And the biggest problem.... I'm a poor college student. |
Too many new parts, not enough time to install them. :(

I'm N/A...got some heatshield rattling...chattering/shuddering clutch issues...and my fucking instrument hood is cracked ( I think someone hit it when my top was down in a parking lot or something) so it rattles at 2, 4.5, and 6k RPMS. Also, top squeaks/rattles at the joints |

I was ignoring squeaks/rattles as "problems." I define a problem as something that can be fixed ;)

My turbo is leaking oil out of the seals after a professional on warranty rebuild. POS!!!!!

too much oil pressure, or bad drain, or bad pcv valve, then. |

-Lots of different whining noises, and i have no clue where they are coming from. could be belts. but sometimes the whining noise sounds like its coming from some metalic surfaces rubbing really fast or something
-DAMN SPEEDO CABLE!! has been making that rubbing/whining sound for like a year now, i really need to buy one and replace it. -hard to get into 2nd gear when cold - running pig rich - hood latch rattles sometimes - STILL N/A - low funds |
problems:
- idle droop - hard shifting (need a bleed or slave) - no traction in rain. a stock car shouldn't break em loose in 2nd just by flooring it. damn azenis. - mildly munched front bumper / paint chips other stuff I wanna do: - re-seal diff housing. I think it leaks. spendy kaaz brand oil!! - put my turbo back in. with the new IC. and tweak some of the exhaust parts. - set up water injection. it's been along for the ride for over a year. dur. - fine-tune my stereo crossover/eq. - get my DC inspection and registration taken care of. ha ha ha. |
Just this morning: I forgot to tighten a coolant hose clamp when I changed my coolant over the weekend. I figured this out 1/2 way to work. I could not reach the clamp with the tools I have in my car. Messy.
My intercooler pipe rattles on my fender from time to time. There's a squeek in my trunk caused by the lid's torsion springs. I don't make enough power. |
Being an a bunch of different part piles in my friends warehouse...
