Had a breakdown on the highway last weekend. Engine lost power..popping and sputtering and revving barely past 2k. Was able to take an exit and pull into a parking lot, where I tried to sort out the problem with no luck. So, it was a wrecker ride back home.
I had just done a maintenance tune on my stock '70 1.7 with D-Jet. Started with ignition troubleshooting (always check ignition first) and found that the condenser had failed. Replaced it with the old one I had kept as a spare, and now back on the road. The failed condenser came in a Bosch box, and was stamped "Made in Germany", but had no Bosch part number and was yellow cad plated...which I hadn't seen on Bosch condenser before. Chinese counterfeit?  |
