Hey all--
Smelling fuel and noticing fluid leaks under the 914 and had a mechanic inspect. Said I need to repair/recondition my fuel tank and my master cylinder is leaking fluid. Regarding the tank--would it be better to have him repair this (send away and a 3-4 week project--don't know price yet), replce with NOS if available or try to recondition on my own?? Not sure on the Master Cylinder leaks--safe to drive or could my brakes fail at any time?? Also said 3 of my 4 wheels (custome Forgeline alloys) are bent and need fixed/reconditioned and then need to balance/align before repairing brakes--expected costs? Recomendations? Thanks--John |

ouch...sounds like some money going out the door soon (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
tank= depends "why" it is leaking..if hoses, it's an easy cheap fix to DIY, if the tank has holes, then a replacement is better, figure a few hundred to find a tank and you might as well clean it and get it perfect before installing it mastercylinder= not too bad to replace, figure a newbie, a few hours plus bleeding the brakes bent rims= there are places that'll fix them, look on-line or I know I've seen ads in Car and Driver or those type magazines good luck and post some pictures of your car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
