“No Sir, it’s hard to say what the problem could be. We will have to open your gear box and only then we’ll know what’s wrong. A price you say Sir? No can do sir, this is according to the damage on your gear box. Opening and closing your gearbox will be around 1500$.”
I’ve solved the problem with replacing the rear coupler bushings. Thanx to the Rennlist forum I’ve stumbled across the subject of loosing certain gears and in most topics these bushings seemed to be the culprit. About a 10$ fix proves the “professional specialists” wrong.
At first it was idling nicely but after backing out of the garage it wasn’t the case anymore. A tube had come loose from the WUR but we’ve got reverse!
And we can engage first!
The HVAC problem is fixed, thanx Jim. The car isn’t smoking anymore so replacing the gaskets of the OAS and water bridge proved useful.
All this (except the reverse problem) is the consequence of a plan to clean the groundpoints and fix some electrical issues. I haven’t cleaned a single groundpoint and not all electricity got fixed despite the fact that I did have a look at it all. The upcoming weeks I’ll deal with some of those again, along with replacing a door lock, fixing the oil pressure sender unit, fine tuning gear shifts and get out a bottle of injector cleaner and engine flush. But first I’ll enjoy some mileage.
