Hello everyone, I am having trouble with my 1974 2ltr. The car was running perfect up until last summer. The car was stored in my heated garage all winter. When I fired it up this spring the car did not sound right at all. It started right up with no problem but it was making a funny sound. I parked the car and have not driven it all summer. I am looking for a good mechanic who would be capable of doing engine work this this beauty. The care is in perfect condition and was running perfect. I have yet to find someone who I can trust with this car. Please let me know if you guys can help!

I'm at least an hour east of you unless you take the 407. Look up directions to Brimacombe ski hill, I'm another 10 minutes east of the ski hill.
Scott at German Supply is closer to you, he's a VW bus guy but knows the T4 engine. |

Get it to Mark.
In the mean time, you might get more help around here if your were more descriptive than "funny sound." |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) unless we know more it could be anything,I will suggest a loose valve clearance/s or valve seat on the move ,worn rod small end bushes can be noisy when the engine is cold...sort of a tapping noise till warmed up as opposed the worn big-end bearings which is a solid metallic sound and resulting poor oil pressure with the oil light coming on when the engine is hot when idling. Lots of other things also,sometimes these noises are less than funny in the end (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . |
