Thank you very much, I got the following advice from a friend: add 5 percent diesel to the gasoline.

I have the following problem at outside temperatures above 86°F . I drive a longer distance. Then I turn the car off for about 30 minutes. After continuing to drive (I drive for 5-20 seconds) the engine cuts out. Usually slightly uphill on a small incline. The engine can be restarted with a lot...

I am at a loss. Maybe someone can help? I had a new water pump, leakless style, installed by a repair shop. It was mounted the old 2-blade fan. After about 100 miles, the fan was loose and the mount for the fan shaft key in the fan was defective. I then installed a new 2-blade fan and...

I have since today the following noise, probably due to the water pump. https://youtu.be/ny2t-XKK7LE The fan wheel has no play, the maintenance-free water pump has only been installed for about 50 miles. What can it be? Greetings from Bavaria Gero

Unfortunately, the question does not quite fit here. I have an American thread to determine. It is not for a Ford. The outer diameter is about 10.9 mm and the pitch is about 1.28 mm. Which thread could this be? Thanks in advance. Gero

I have mounted a new leakless water pump. After a short time the 2 blade fan has loosened. The Woodruff key has destroyed the groove in the fan. I suspect that the bushing is too long. This prevented the fan from sitting tightly on the cone. I have now ordered a new fan. Should I leave out the...

Thank you very much. I have steel with 2 blades. I will disassemble it again. That means I have to loosen the radiator again and fold it forward.

The fan wheel was actually loose, I could even move the nut slightly. Now I pulled the cotter pin, and was able to retighten the nut about 3/4 turn. Then set a new cotter pin. The shaft did not turn when I tightened the nut. The rattling was gone. After 45 minutes of driving, there was play on...

I have installed a new water pump: leakless/ball bearing water pump A-8502 Sny... Since then something rattles. I have uploaded a short video: https://youtu.be/WypPcsnN6Ww Maybe someone has an idea? Greetings from Bavaria

Increasingly with age, I sometimes forget to turn the turn signal off again. Sometimes this creates dangerous situations.:eek: How have you solved this? I have the turn signal kit (6V). In the catalog there is a turn signal beeper. How should it be connected and installed? Maybe there are other...

What size is the square on the Banjo (Differential Housing)? (Metric sizes are standard for us) Thanks in advance

I have not had a backfire since I opened the GAV to about 3/4. The exhaust seems to be tight. If not, oil would probably leak out. I will now also give more early ignition. But why didn't I have this problem before?

The GAV is 1/4 open. I will see if there is a leak at the manifold or exhaust. I think with flush water or with a bird feather I can detect a leak.

There is a pop in the exhaust when shifting gears and reducing the gas. The ignition should not be the problem. Everything is well adjusted here. What could be the cause? Greetings from Bavaria
