Thanks all for answering on such short notice,and yes it does that when there's a higher strain on the engine,when i,m trying to overtake someone( as i said above 2700 rpm).All of you handed me some good ideeas .....alt that is left to do is to start working Thanks again sm4 PS :Ifitted new gaskets ...

it could be just because the carb is absorbing air from somewhere else than it should?????? last spring i refited the carb on the engine and maybe that's when it happened.....I was having problem with steep slopes before but not every time......like i do now...if that's not it what else can it be???...

Hello!I have a 340Dl(1990) with a 1,7 petrol engine,solex carb and i'm having some trouble whit it. When climbing steep slopes or when the engine is working above 2700 rpm for about 30 sec to 1 minute,it falls on it's nose,backfires then runs normal if i let go of the acceleration. When climbing ste...

the switch controls the relays! it's simple as hell! i have two 340 ,the spear one had a hedlight switch with less terminals that the one i told u about, with the weird headlight functioning! after changin the switch the lights were normal as i said above! the electrical wiring on a car, any car,is ...

hy all! yes, it's a regional thing,i had the same prob. with the headlights with the igniton off the litghts were of on pos.0 on the switch,when the ignition was on,the main beam was on.( pos.0 ) on pos.1 ignition on or off, the parking lights were on, pos.2 the main beam was on with ignition,withou...

hy all!! does anyone have a seedo cable for sale?,cause i can't find one in roumania,i went to all the car parts dealers and no one has it! i would like to buy a new one and i haven't found one on the web eighter. the reason i want a new one is that i had a spare one from another car ,and after fitt...

i've identified the problem.the original hose came with a splitter (that my car didn't have)one end goes to the carb,one tho the air filter,one to the oil separator.(i thought the conection to the filter was in the carb,that was before i saw the original conection on other 340 dl

thx for suport!

it leaks when the engine is on and shortly after stoping it.i was thinking that someone who repaird the car before it got to me ,misplaced the hose(placed it on the wrong entry to the carb.)an that's why the pressure is building up forceing oil out ,or if the oriffice is jammed the same thing will h...

the circuit that i'm talking about starts on the engine block(on my engine) forgot to say that the car is a 340 dl, and the engine is a b172k,and the recovery for the fumes is not on the rocker cover,but on the engine block! and after cuting the hose it didn't leak(it was leaking at the rocker cover...

after repairing the two gaskets that were aged and caused my engine to leak,i was happy to see no oil drop under the car for a long time.untill a few days ago when i saw that the tube from the oil separator (oil sep.-carb.) was cracked! after fixing it ,drove the car for a while ,parked it and when ...

:lol: ...one more thing.....a few days ago i took a look at the engine and i've noticed that the pipe from the oil separator(the one that leads the fumes from the sump) was cracked. i've fixed it and drove the car around (i've climed a steep slope). next day i saw that there was a lot of oil under m...

thx for the advice, i'll do that as soon as i have the money,untill than i'll avoid driving the car more than necessary

and for the timing belt the sound is more a hawling than a squealing

:( i'worried too,my car is making the same noiseswhen clutch is engaged..... it could be a gearbox oil problem cause i'm having trouble shifting gears when the engine is cold or didn't run for more than 10 hours that means the oil is low and the gear box is not properly lubricated. have u had the sa...

:D i've found the answer to the leaking problem!!!! the oil pump has a cork (cap) that has a PETRIFIED gasket !! i used silicone to seal it up(not the final solution)until i find a new one at first it seemed to me too taht the leak is coming from the pulley at the distribution, belt but i was wrong ...
