  • @mikelfrance-l6x
    @mikelfrance-l6x 4 месяца назад

    I have to be honest with you --- its not worth the effort or money. Part it out. IF it was a running car and complete it would have a chance. At least its a manual car. The auto cars have frankly horrible performance. its very common that the fuseboxes burn out and mechanics who don't understand what's going on jerry rig the wiring. Replacing just one of the turbo's is more than the car is worth -- and it has 2. And they go bad. If the water pump seizes the timing belt breaks -- and they are not very good water pumps and the bearings go bad from just sitting. There's a reason why these are so cheap.

    Great of you for saving this darling. The car is clearly underestimated, even though it has/had many teething problems (The Biturbo was designed and built within a year due to the impending bankruptcy of the parent company!!!) The timing chain is a problem, but there are now many, better replicas. Carburetors always cause problems, but there are many forums on the internet that have useful tips and addresses. There are some Biturbo clubs in Europe that can also help. I hope you complete the restoration successfully and wish you all the best!!!

      I took the seat out and disassembled it part way, and found a broken wire to the lower back heater grid on the driver seat. Wire was broken right at lowest part of the back rest where it attached to the heater grid. Soldered the wires back together and adjusted the wire routing a little.

      @Technician26 7 месяцев назад

      I had the pack out and torn apart twice, but I only took pictures. The hardest part is using a couple of long wood clamps to squeeze the cell stacks together during the reassembly. Also, I had the help of a forklift for getting the HV pack in and out through the trunk, which was also a big pain. But after replacing 6 weak cells, it's been working great for almost a year now.
