i can't love my 914 unconditionally. it comes back to me after a 2 1/2 year departure. i can't wait to drive it, but it snows for four days. weather clears up, and as i am pulling out of the driveway i notice that it is leaking. i mean LEAKING! and i was so excited to drive it to work tomorrow. not going to happen. but i refuse to put it back in the garage until i can at least get around the block. come back and call the mechanic. "don't drive it," he says. "have it towed back to me." not real happy right now. it was leaking gas. i am sure it is simply a bad fuel line, but man, am i bummed.

Change der hoses....it should be easy to spot if it was leaking from the engine compartment area.
Do you withdraw your "unconditional love" when your SO starts leaking on the monthly cycle? Ok, so it wasn't funny (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |

Crawl underneath the thing and check it out Greg...it's part of the joy of owning a 30 year old car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Something breaks, you fix it, then while you're fixing the first problem, something else breaks - that's just the way of the [914] world. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Take my car for example. Never on jackstands in 10 months, go to fix a loose bolt on the alternator and 3 weeks later it's still out of commission while I fix one issue after another after another... |

My '73 hasn't "touched down" since I bought it ...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) .....6 friggin' years ago (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) , and is farther apart now, than the day I brought it home (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) . My luck I'll finally get it completed, and the world will run out of gasoline. Then I'll have to put it back up on jack stands for a fusion reactor retrofit....yeah...that's not going to be cheap (we need a smilie flushing money down a toilet)!

my wife refuses to get rid of it. she is on her grandfather's policy: member since 1941 but they changed their towing limits. now only the first 4 miles are free. |

Upgrade to AAA plus, My wife and I each have 4 free tows a year up to 150 miles I think. I've already used up 3 tows (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) , Well worth the $. Mines the R.V. version, but I think the regular "plus" gets you the extended free tow as well.

Sorta, when I signed up 3 years ago I did, and have had a few come and go in the last few years (I dabble in the car business). but no r.v. at the moment.

mechanic has the car, but mysteriously the gas leak is gone. it was leaking pretty good before i decided to have it towed to him. any suggestions? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
should i just drive the car home and be happy the leak is gone? this is really puzzling (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) because i cannot think of a way to re-create the leak, or how it may have disappeared. It was a FRESH rebuild, so is it possible something just sealed itself after running hot for a while? the car had sat for 2 days in the garage before i started it up for the 3rd time after the rebuild and noticed the leak (right away). it was a pretty significant leak, too. dripped all the way backing out of the garage and puddled while i left it running in the street. any suggestions? |
