Re: Second Opinion

Well.. No CEL. The car vibrates a little too when the engine is on. I'm going to take off the valve cover and go from there. None of the accessories are making the noise. I've spotted the oil leak coming from somewhere above the AC Compressor on the block, if that's any help. Of course, there's that...

Re: Second Opinion

come to thing of it... If I compression test it, that should tell me if a lifter is bad right? What should the compression numbers be on an B6-ME? ^^ I'll give it a shot... Thanks... It's definitely a knocking noise, but who knows, could be a water pump or alternator... ^ I'm 95% sure the CEL didn't...

Second Opinion

I have a 1993 MX-3 RS 1.6L I-4. I want a second opinion before I just start tearing open this car and replacing all the "what I think it might be" parts. Yesterday the car ran fine. Today, I go to start the car and there is some SERIOUS knocking under the hood. I didn't let the car run mor...

Re: Do I have tranny fluid / gear fluid?

This is what you are looking for from the top. This is the speed sensor. http://hphotos-snc1.fbcdn.net/hs157.snc1/5848_710092172549_11803001_40517654_838437_n.jpg I was able to do everything form below the car. However, it helps me if I can see what I need to get to from multiple angles. You can als...

Re: Do I have tranny fluid / gear fluid?

Oh god. It was a piece of cake. I was worried about the gear (I'm used to Porsche 944 plastic gears breaking on me... such a pita... ) It was all easy...

Re: Do I have tranny fluid / gear fluid?

Alright, I'll play with the gear a bit more... I appreciate it. Once I get it off, I'll be using a small syphon to fill it up. This gear is being a pain to remove though. :oops:

Re: Socket Size ?

Lol. I was hoping to find out while at work today. My other 2 cars are in the body shop and the MX-3 is sitting on jack stands. And on top of that, I just moved so I don't have any of my socket tools around >_< Well, how about this, does anyone know how much to torque it down to? :freak: That would ...
