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- Flywheel Chatter- Exhaust Rattle- Pierburg Pump Whine- 1.6 Rear

 

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. :(

 

hehe...

I'm N/A...got some heatshield rattling...chattering/shuddering clutch issues...and my ******* 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

 

Fixed it for you...or maybe thats just me :\

 

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.

 

I have to agree- given I'm driving a 90 with 150k and with several previous owners, of which all seemed to have wrecked the car.

 

-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...
