ugh... I was praying that wouldn't be too expensive... but I guess that is not the case... uh... yeah... *sad* Well, if you think about it... dropping the transmission... and all that requires, just to get to it... requires a bit of work. I've never done it before... and I really don't...

Hmmm... the problem... LMAO! The $4,200 question. lose wiring, melted wiring, bad wiring, old wiring, rusty wiring... mostly to do with the wiring and wiring harness. So... out with the old wiring harness... and in with a brand new Haltech ECU and all new wiring harness... that will be hard...

It wasn't bad... about three MK IV's. One Dark Blue, One Black... and the other? I forgot. The black one was nice @ 820 hp. Heck, they were all nice. Sadly... what was it? Only 2 MK III's? Where were ya'll at? My turbo gray one... and the N/A white one. Still, thanks to the trip...

UGH! $4000 to $4200 for all the repairs. AAAAAH! Let's see what work they will be doing here... ***Bad rear main seal on the engine... explains the motor oil leak. ***Gear oil leak... still unknown... ***Differential mounting bolt... ***Haltech ECU with Boost Controller...

released from work super early. went to the shop. place was amazing! so many mk IV's. so tuesday or wednesday, i should get the word. i so want a standalone... might sell my greddy profec e-01 and SARD ecu if i get the standalone.

will tell them to check that. definately need them leaks fixed. Dang, just imagining, getting a standalone ecu too, $1799, just for that... maybe mmaybe not. Need to wait till after diagnosis and repair

Wednesday,Wednesday, Wednesday! Appointment set! I will ensure that what ever they tell me, I will relay to you all. Thank god my secondary vehicle, a Volvo 850 wagon, is a tank. Regardless of how much abuse that wagon takes... it keeps on going.

I AM DONE! This is ridiculous! Tried wiggling the CPS wires, nothing... and yes, the car died (wanted to die) while taking a short 4 mile drive. Leaking oil... leaking gear oil... I don't know.... Checked most the wiring... and seems like... SEEMS LIKE... there is nothing wrong...

Well, drove from Ft. Bragg to Raleigh last nite to see the import show. Very nice. Yet, for some reason while going down a rough part of highway 40, my car just dies while I am going 85 mph in 5th gear. Why in the world would it just die in gear? How is that possible? I thought that...

I know this is a semi-common problem... and the diff cradle cracking is a problem. I think I have both problems. Taking it to the shop to have the sheered diff. bolt removed tomorrow, hopefully. Will check the cradle while the car is lifted too. But I am trying to verify if it is okay to...

OMG! Hollowed out the cat... and it's fixed!!! Talk about boost!!! Running down the road... getting 15 psi and then some on boost! The friggin inter cooler piping popped off it was running so much. So, now the problem is controlling that boost. UGH!... Have a Greddy Profec E-01...

Okay ya'll don't call me stupid for this, but I'm still new and still have a ton to learn. Situation: Low boost and whining sound at 3~5 psi... Maybe whine of death? Maybe boost leak? What is it? POSSIBLE ANSWER: Well, After spending 15 hours replacing all the vacuum lines, all...

Can't believe this seems so hard. Well, I have a local shop here (pretty good one) that is gonna look at the problem and attempt to fix it for me... hopefully it won't be too expensive, as it's only one bolt. Anyone have any idea how much this might cost? The shop didn't really give me...

Ugh, having trouble uploading photos... Well, fixed power steering. Why is it that there is a vacuum line to the power steering anyhow? When I reconnected the belt and vacuum lines to the power steering, the car started running like normal. Oil pressure is good and so is the boost...

Sorry, still busy with work. Really killing me here. Now running the no a/c and no p/s belt with the different idler pulley, just for temporary. Yet, what is the vaccum pressure suppose to be at? Max? Min? I read someone say it was suppose to be at - 20 lbs on idle? And when it goes into...

darn, no access to a welder. nor am i that much of a great mechanic... just a novice.... who would i go to to pay to get this done? anyone have an idea how much it would cost?

Darn it. Can't leave Ft. Bragg area this week. Got to pull Staff Duty all week long... so stuck here till monday. Will definately do my best to stop up there though.

ugh... pics. forgot to take some. Will attempt to get pics tomorrow when there is light. Yeah... darn it... Torch it up? UGH! Was hoping all I would have to do was drill that sheered bolt out. Felt like the castle nut was welded on. Dunno though. This is crazy.

Okay, this may sound totally stupid, but I am running on fumes here with little time and little sleep. Darn work. Anyhow, the diff mounting bolt on the passenger side was found to be sheered off. We tried to remove it. Thinking it was screwed on. Was free spinning. Wouldn't grip to be...

Well, issues, issues, issues. Put a breather filter on the icv valve. Took car to friend's garage. Lifted it up... and... more trouble. As I drove the car into the garage the power steering pressure line burst. WHAT TIMING! So we scrambled to attempt to patch it up... outcome...
