    P38A Oil loss at the engine

    i have a diesel but it's about the same thing, once the pulley was removed i blocked the flange with a plumber's pipe wrench (don't use chinese stuff) blocking it against the frame and using a pipe as an extension. some people do it by blocking the flywheel with the timing pin but you risk...

    P38A Oil loss at the engine

    It looks like the crank seal but to be sure I would do an inspection behind the belt to see if anything is leaking higher up. The belt seems to have had its day :)

    Thanks for the directions but as you noticed from the photos, these seals are square section, or even rectangular, they are 2mm high and 1mm thick and this is a problem, I don't know if a classic O-ring can fit. As material I will use EPDM since I use dot4 oil

    P38A P38 1995-99 Abs modulator repair and modify

    Hi, I'm opening a new thread because I haven't found anything recently that deals with this topic, I opened the abs modulator of my 1995 P38 and I'm trying to find some new epdm seals that are compatible, when I find them I'll update you. I want to reproduce the two plastic washers in stainless...

    P38A The arrival of a P38

    today i reversed the pipes that go to the modulator and the braking from left has moved to right, so i found the culprit, it's the modulator. Tonight i took it apart and took out four pistons, two of them had a lot of dirt on the bottom, the seals are cooked. tomorrow if i can i will take out...

    Thanks for the tip, I'll check the rear lines. So you're telling me that rebuilt calipers often don't work? when I did it they seemed to slide well and there are no leaks. Do you recommend I get new ones?

    P38A The arrival of a P38

    I don't want to talk about the reliability issue that has been talked about a lot in every part of the planet. I found the car converted to coil springs and I will leave it like that because I don't like air suspensions, I never liked them on motorcycles, bicycles and cars. On motorcycles and...

    Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy lately and have dedicated less time to the Rangie, the work has dragged on but I am moving forward. I have tackled the tedious task of replacing the ball joints along with the two steering rods. Equipped with a flame, press and a lot of...

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    don't worry about the stains, just check that it is flat. This is the base of my 2.5 dt when I closed it, it has stains but it was perfectly flat and does not leak

    the remote station installed gives power to the motor that opens and closes, then the cdl does the rest. so as you say, it makes the becm believe that someone is inside and blocks the lock... if you have the immobilizer active it is a modification that I would not recommend.

    this is true, microswitches must always be in good condition. I opened, cleaned, lubricated and closed the locks with a thin layer of waterproof grease along the gasket, I hope it helps keep away humidity which is the worst enemy of microswitches What can the country setting do?

    you're right, I can't find it now, I followed the one from the Work on P38 channel, but I'll put this one from CLT Rovers which follows the same method.with immobilizer active it can cause problems as the guy wrote in description. I deactivated it and it doesn't cause problems. the only thing i...
