I just bought a 98' Alpine 318ti with Sunroof and M-Sport package. It has 175k on it, but it's in excellent condition. The first thig I did was replace all of the vacuum hoses, intake boot, gaskets, leaky seals, plugs, and the timing chain cover. The cover had a giant hole in it. I thought it was a vacuum leak which is why I replaced the hoses and intake boot which had a crack in it. Did a smoke test and found smoke coming from the crank seal gasket. Took off the pulley and found a dime sized hole. car runs like a champ now and I'm averaging 29mpg! |
