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! | | | 05-11-2017, 11:53 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 | Very very clean looking! Seeing the work you've done, I can tell that car has landed with a good owner. I hope you have lots of fun and good times to come! Keep an eye out for the Hellrot Sport with peeling clearcoat driving around the Santa Rosa area __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 05-11-2017, 07:52 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2017 Location: Sonoma Posts: 3 | Thanks, Coyote!
