My recently overhauled PAS rack has started leaking fluid badly again. The fluid comes through a hole that was cut in the rubber gaiter by some loose spring or other part inside of the rack.

Would ...

Thnx Tino!

... and I'm confused about the location of the relay-shaped device. Red plug, engine harness - where is that???

Hi all,

Will an ECU from a non-cat 33 16V work on a cat version of 33 16V with lambda disconnected?

engine starts easily. that is until the plugs become all covered with grime. then the engine becomes rough and won't start at all (especially in cold weather).
will try to replace the temp sensor. th ...

What would be the most common causes for mixture being too rich on a 33 16V apart from lambda probe (mine’s brand new) and AFM (I have two and both seem to be working the same (proper?) way)?

Could ...

Does anyone know if a mechanical steering rack from a 3rd series 1.7 IE fit a series 3 16V?

Would like to check once more on the subject. The 16 and 8V engine blocks are different because of the oil way?? (different pistons and exhaust outlet position not in question).

thanks

Thanks for the tips. Will do the inspections. I forgot to mention that the cat is removed in my car. Can that cause the fault code to repeat itself?

I have been also advised to try adjusting the fu ...

The T2 tester blinks out a 1-2-2-3 code on my car meaning "The heated lambda probe regulator inner adjuster reaches the minimum or the maximum value of correction.".
I replaced the old lambda probe w ...

Thanks for the info. However, the fuel pressure on my engine was measured behind the fuel pressure regulator. That is we cut the fuel hose going to the injectors rail and fitted a manometer. I'm sayin ...

Does anyone know what is the correct fuel pressure (in bar) for a 3rd series 33 1.7 16 V?
Measurements on mine have shown 3.2 bar, which I suspect is too much. I was also wondering whether this could ...

People in previous posts have suggested cleaning out "the idle-engine" (aka idle speed actuator) with injector cleaner. Apparently this helps sometimes.

Right now I'm battling a very similar proble ...

According to this Russian site, which provides tech data for different car models its either 50 or 55 Ah. You can check out this link (everything in Russian, but you'll recognize the figures)http://te ...

Is the idle speed actuator interchangable between different 3rd series 33 models? Or at least between the 1.7 8 and 16 V models?

Finally got the engine running. Wasn’t too easy though. Checked for spark, fuel pump, distributor, voltage in injector connectors. Everything ok. Engine – not even a hint of life. Then got a good piec ...

Cheers everyone. Great resource here. I’ve been devouring previous posts for the past couple of weeks and I never thought I’d end up asking such a stupid question, but…my 33 seems to have frozen!
