Hi guys.
As you know I have had some problems with the B7. I was planned to drive to Germany on Tuesday morning and put the car into the workshop in Wednesday. But becase the car started to behave even more strange on Monday I decided to take off imidiatly to have a bit more time to drive down if everthing went wrong, I had to drive all the way since the car did not always want to start after it had been stoped.
So at 13.00 on Monday I left, with full tank of petrol and 1700 km to go.
oohhh: I had to drive carefully, but still fast.
First fuel stop came after Copenhagen 19.00. and app 690 km, I filled up 82 ltr of fuel and was extremly nervous when I tried to start the car.
Fuel consumption app 12,5 ltr/100 km.
Luckily it started. :1:
The ferry left for Germany at 21.00 and I was there 20.30. I was again nerveous that after 30 minutes of break the car would not start.
For some reasson the car had decided to start and I got on the ferry.
At 23.00 I entered Germany in Rostock. I had originally dedided to drive 2-3 hours and then stop for some sleep.
The traffic was light and since I was driving app 170-180 kmh I was eating up km very fast.
At 01.50 I had to have more fuel, 77 ltr was filled after 550 km :cool2: average fuelconsumption this time was 14ltr/100 km. Not bad considering the average speed was close to 150 kph.
When I noticed the 400 km left for Muchen I decided to try to go all the way.
I arived in Munchen at app 04.30 in the morning, tried to get some sleep in the car and waited for the Workshop to open.
To put it mildly, he was supprised when he woke up and found the B7 parked outside his garage.
Anyway he started to work on the car imidiatly and changed
-all 6 fuel injectors, they was leacking. The fuel pressure was only keept for a few minuts, normaly it should hold for 24 hours.
- Sparkplugs
- Cleaning indicators and switches, pluss a lot of other things.
- Adjusting valves.
-
So when we was going to start the car after all of this, did not start.
We spend several hours without any luck, we think or fear that is must be the motronic box, and that is an ALPINA part.
If anyone in Munchen have an ALPINA B7/1, and can help it would be very nice if I could try to borrow the motronic part to see if my car would start.
PM me if possible.
It is not tempting to buy this part without beeing 110% sure that it would help...
