Hi, the "Winner" was build from '81 to '86 . From your foto's I would say, you should get it as a gift. And it is a gift with a lot of work to do... In this poor condition you should not spend more than a few hundred... Important is the condition of engine and variomatic, and I would suggest to expl...

Hi, in the gear lever is a micro switch under the button to change gear. If you press the button, a servo should release the clutch. If this doesn't work the clutch is engaged, if the rpm is over 1200. And trying to change gear with engaged clutch gives a really unnerving sound ... You find the elec...

Hi, I would suggest to use a timing strobe lamp to check the ignition timing. If the car is running bad on idle, the timing might be completely wrong. The cause could be a wrong flywheel or wrong mounted flywheel, or a bad sensor... that would correspond to the problems with the other Renix systems....

Hi, I've more experience with B230F in Volvo 740's, but the B200F is very similar. What you should check: - is the fuel pump running, when starting. There is a control relay that may be worn. You can bridge that, to be shure, there is fuel pressure - the sensor for the ignition and the injection sys...

Hi,

but all the noticed issues are absolutely relevant, no fun ...

If you want to get crazy, try to get the car back on the road with the German "TÜV".
Then you may tell this awesome....

Hi, I'm not shure for 360, but in 340 models you find in the trunk under the carpet an opening to get access to the fuel gauge. I opened it, and removed the gauge. Then I could access the tank through the hole (for draining etc.). Have you tried to drain the fuel tank and clean it this way ? Regards...

Hi,

may be your brake hoses have swelled up, so the liquid is pressed into the wheel cylinder when operating the break,
but flowing back is inhibited.
Can happen, when the hoses are quiet old...

Hi, there have been several experiments exchanging the ECU between B230FT to B230F(B) models in Germany (www.alter-schwede.de). And the results where inadequate or no idling and bad acceleration. In theory you are correct, measuring the input airflow etc. should be sufficient, but in practise the EC...

Hi, a B230FT is the turbo version. of the B230F. It can't be converted to a B230F for example or a B230ET. Both conversions will not work due to camshaft modifications altered compression etc. What you need for transferring the engine: - the turbo (of course) with waste gate - the ignition ECU (EZK ...

Hi, I would suggest to use a detergent - an industrial cleaner, go get rid of any oil on the disks and the belts. Then let dry. You could try to clean by hand using break cleaner, but this removes all grease and wax. So I would only apply it to the chromed parts and the belts. My CVT is coated with ...

Hi, I bought my '80 343 2 years ago. B14.1 with Variomatic . About 40.000 miles. Was prepared to weld the whole thing together. But - it needed no welding at all! All cavities I found where sealed and in perfect condition. Even on the underbody no rust found. I'm now wasting my time in technique iss...

Hi, as far as I know, the available Vadis is a copy for MS Win 7 pro. It contains internal an MS SQL database (5.0), that seems not capable of Win 10. This is also noted by MS itself, that this version of MS SQL is not working on Win 10. I would suggest, if someone really wants to spent several days...

Hi,

the right one ok - ignore it, if you don't need a warm car from start up in winter...

But why you want to connect the drain plug (for empty cooling water when you exchange it) with
the water pump ?

Regards
Ralf

Hi,

okay, the right one is an electrical engine heater.

In Sweden quite normal. Made by Kalix.
Completed with a special cable which ends in the grill or bumper and a power cable to connect to ac.

The left one should be a coolant drain plug.
