[urq] Thanks for the inspiration, and helpDavid Ritter dave.ritter at gmail.comThu Sep 18 10:28:24 PDT 2008
Greetings, I have to give credit to the organizers of this summers gathering of urq's for the inspiration to finally get my urq roadworthy again. I have been putting off some of my repair items for a long time. Over the past few weeks I have changed turbo oil lines, control arm bushings, brake and fuel lines. Thanks to Chris Semple at Force 5 for some very important new and used parts. Thanks to Frank de Kat for info on generic metric metal brake lines. All the fittings worked with lines from the local Napa. A tubing bender came in handy. Thanks to Scott Mockry for help sorting out what kind of brake flex hoses to use on an urq with non OE calipers. Thanks to Audifans, without this community, I would be lost. Funny (somewhat) surprises, Finding out that the clips and grommets holding the fuel lines are all still in perfectly good shape, despite having rusted out fuel lines. Having a spark plug fouled, so that the car only runs on 4 cylinders after putting it back together. Imagined all kinds of other causes since the fuel system had been apart. Luckily, the simple solution of a plug change. Dave
