I saw your thread, that was nice too. I'm using coin box for parking card. Looks much better this way than it was before, with a adapter that only had a hole under the radio

Can't find a way to paste pics directly, I'm really sorry.
I found this item on ebay for 10€, ordered 2 din mounting frame, painted it black and made a frame around radio and cup holder from plywood leftovers which had to be cut, sanded, primered and spray coloured black.
As you can see cup holder is a bit to near to shift knob but isn't touching it

I know... But it's very hard to find a "ctrl" on keyboard when I'm using a phone

I prefer manual too, the only difference is road tax, which is 130€ higher than for 2.5V6 , and consumption naturaly.
Price is high even for used cars here but I prefer the devil I know over some beemer or merc.

Would you go for it? Ignore the price   that's how it is where I live and it's negotiable anyway

Omega General Help / Codes

« on: 14 January 2018, 12:46:10 »

Me again guys, yesterday EML lit for a second right in the middle of some Italian tune up while accelerating from toll booths (which I don't consider ilegal and even less dangerous ) when changing from 3-rd to 4-th at 6000rpm. I went to check for codes today and got 12, 31, 74....So IIRC 31 is normal, 74 is MAF sensor voltage high but what is 12? Or did I misscalculate flashes....
BTW, she s going to turn her 100.000 miles today which is quite low mileage for almost 18 year old barge

Yes I saw, will order oil cooler from your country - it's cheaper than from Germany, already have the stat, reuse the pipe - just replace O-rings, already have water pump and aux belt pulley prepared. Only things to get now are washers for coolant bridge, cambelt set and aux belt. Then just some rust repair in summer and I hope she'll be fine for next 4 years.

This one should do the trick

Well I changed coolant 3 years ago...it was blue coolant in it before. I'll change oil cooler for the sake of it while it's all apart, just need to find all bits and pieces now.
Thanks
