How do you do a ignition tune up on a 6? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I see the dizzy way down there in the front of the motor... Do you have to drop the engine out to get to it, or do you need to find an accomplished 12 year old? How many have modified the firewall for access? |

every time I have significant work done,I get my mechanic to drop the motor
at the same time,I get the fan belt changed regardless of mileage and any random oil leaks fixed that were not there last time plus any other minor 'while you're there' jobs done Unless you are the mythical Sloniger 'asbestos octopus' the motor is very inconvenient to work on while in the car to me,everything else about the car is a big positive but the maintenance/working enviroment was certainly an afterthought I am totally aghast that in this day and age that anyone would cut bodywork in an original -6 to do such minor routine work - shame !! cheers Dennis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
