  1. This was his last Facebook post on his personal page, from May 16th. Dear Friends, I don't know what is happening to the world, but there is something very Wrong, hiding underneath. I always believed that we come to this life with a heart, that is an empty Bag, which we should fill with precious moments, and wonderful memories; those are the only things that you will take with you, forever, even maybe to the other life; while everything else, material things, will never fill the emptiness of the bag on your heart. Trying to fill your heart's bag with material things, will only left you even more emtpy, not only on the spiritual plane... People seems to never realise that every day that they live, is a day less in their count of life; but it could be a day More, fulfilled with awesome memories, in their hearts. People forget that their little children will not be playing alone in that corner of your house, forever; waiting for you to finish seeing all your "friends" updates on social media, prior to dedicate a couple of minutes to play, before falling asleep. Believe me, social media is absurd and fake in many different ways; in real life no body cares if you ate bacon with honey in your pankakes for breakfast; but fake people will "Like" your empty and useless breakfast photo, like if they care; and so on... millions of people wasting time in a world full of hypocrisy. Not only time, but sometimes people also waste efforts, paying for travels, cars, etc, that really never wanted nor needed them, only to have the chance of taking the stupid "selfie" photo in order to gaining more "likes", they are living their lives like if they're in a high school's popularity contest; meanwhile what they really are "gaining" is only Emptiness, and the need to do a harder effort to pay for those unneeded "luxuries" to the system, that enslaves them more, and even more... Meanwhile, the little children grows, with an empty bag in their hearts, empty from the lack of precious moments, then they becomes men and women that goes from home, to start their own homes, leaving you even more empty... One day you might realize that you are really tired from being part of the system and being absorbed by social fakeness; and you might want to bow down and play with that little child that spent the childhood, alone, in a corner of your house, waiting for you to play; but you'll notice that nobody is there, and you are even more alone. Nothing worse than wasting such times. And sometimes parents fool themselves, sharing lots of photos from their children in different places, as if they really are playing or being with them; but they go from a place or another for the photos only; to display them in social media, but they have an empty background. Nothing is better in life than the Family; remember that your Wife / Husband \ Children, really needs you, and the best you can give to them, is the best part of your time, as long as you can; never give begrudgingly leftovers from your time, to them. I suggest you to try to fill your Heart bag with precious moments. The car, the money, The house, the job, the gym, the club, etc; everything will stay in earth. If you die, others will continue using them; the world continues and the other people, really don't care about you; only your mere family, if you dedicate quality time to them. You will reap what you sow. Every average day, can be turned onto two different things: it could be a hell, if you continue with selfish customs and being chained to the System, fighting for no real reason; or also the same day can be turned into an Awesome happy day, where all the family is surprised with a Pijama Party, a Family movie together, or simply by a dad or mom that decided to throw away the cell phone, shutting it off, to turn their lives on; and bow down to play with their children, or listening and paying attention to your spouse. You can make an average day, to be a Special day, every day, if you want to. Remember, Kids never care about the features of the car you drive; kids will remember if they went together with their parents in that car, to a nice sunny camp day on the mountains, or wherever their parents decided to go; those memories really fills the hearts of all the family and last forever, because the time that families spend together, is a priceless treasure for their hearts. I kindly suggest you to see less TV, less social media, drink less alcoholic beverages, smoke less; to avoid wasting your precious time and resources in empty things; and fill the hearts of every member of your family, with your presence, your warm heart, the things that you do together; you know... with spiritual things. Material things will never fill your immaterial soul. Sorry for this long letter, but I wanted to explain the reason why I am not visiting often my Facebook, nor the automotive web forums I used to... somehow I noticed that my daughter was growing too fast, and I decided to shut off my "Virtual Life" online, as much as I could; in order to spend all the quality time I can, with my Daughter, my wife, and the rest of my family. Still, I will check here from time to time. Sorry for any delays in answering. Kind Regards and Blessings. JesZeK (Loyale 2.7 Turbo)

  3. There is a second small fuel filter back under the car by the gas tank. Have you changed it yet?

  4. It's most likely spark (plugs/wires) or sensor related. there's a lot of possibilities....if it's closely related to throttle input or a narrow band I would suspect the idle controller or throttle position sensor or dirty throttle body. 1. spark plugs and wires - what brand and how old are they? if not NGK, unknown age/mileage, or they're old - then that's an even more likely starting point. 2. knock sensor - ebay specials are $8 and it's one 12mm bolt to replace it. so easy and cheap and by far the most common failure on that engine i would routinely replacing them when working on someone elses car. 3. MAF or TPS

  6. If the carpet is wet (common this time of year) the moisture can cause the windows to fog up all the time. Is the car dry inside?

  8. Somick, I think we are referring to the same V belt idler. It's under the ac compressor, the one for the short V belt. That was the initial noise source.

  9. Found a lot of water on the rear floor. Apparently rust holes in the fronts of the rear strut towers is a 'thing'. I riveted in some aluminum flashing 'splash guards' from underneath to get me through the winter. Inner fenderwells in the rear are rusted away too. Have to ponder fixing, and if fixing, as was or with some fender clearance for fun.

  10. Yeah time to find another machinist. Although heli-coil kits are generally something stocked at the mechanic level. All the machine shops I use make these things happen without them being my problem. I dropped it off so I could go back and do what *I* do - if I wanted to figure it out I would just do it myself. I have a lathe, and a mill, and I'm not afraid to use them. I just don't have the time. GD

  13. another vote for KYB. might want to possibly get the front tophats at least.. rears don't usually have many problems. fronts - the bearings tend to go.. if you have them on hand and need them, you only have to do the job once... if you don't need them, return them. they are not typically called "inserts" - just strut, and spring - the two together are an assembly.

  14. EA82 seemed to go their first optical distributor in 1987 with the XT. Was it only the turbo variant that got it in this year? In fact were there non turbo EA82 mpfi anything that got them in 1987? In our market in Oz the 1988 onwards EA82 mpfi got the optical distributor whether XT or Leone or L wagon ...touring wagon only I think. But these 88 onwards distributors gets a new part number. 22100AA410 for 1987 then 22100AA450 for ,88 onwards Not directly interchangeable it is said - unless swap two wires. But which two? Previously someone said swap green and white wire positions with each other Another has said black and white Now doubt second option as black wire connects to a male spade terminal in the distributor base at the module and this spade has a side bit that is connected to distributors body ie earth Not changing that ! Looking at distributors with no wires coming from base at all revealing 2+2 .male spade plug of optical module.... If module is same for the two part numbers they MUST be interchangeable without any wiring swap so long as all the wiring is retained right up to the white female spade 2+2 terminal that plugs into the module and held there by a screwed plate..surely ??

  16. Scooby Mods Good resource for modifications. It seems to refer more to 2003 plus and does cover older, but since these are giant lego sets on wheels, i found alot of information does apply to pre 2003. Thanks to Nipper for mentioning it. Updated link to Scooby Mods.
