Sweet!

Here I am getting ready to properly tighten the banjo bolt connecting the oil filter drain hose to the upper sump, when I realized that I have no idea what the torque spec is!

Thanks a million for this. It's 30Nm if it can save someone else from scrolling 36 pages to find it.

 

Hi all,

About to do a complete suspension refresh on my car but can't open the file, I get a Forbidden error. Can someone who downloaded the file please email it to me.

Thanks

That forbidden thing is a pain. I am going to try a little experiment and see if I re up the file if it will download. Well the first time it says the file is too large max size is 0KB. I will try going to the advanced.
It took it I wonder if it can be downloaded now.

Your attachment works for me.

 

Thanks guess it will be up to the users to fix this mess.

 

Probably, the issue is still open, no guidance given as to resolution or timeline for resolution, except that it is being fixed.

Vbulletin software is old, probably tons of patches to make it go on the cloud, better software like xenforo would be a real pain in the *** to implement, but the real issue is the information loss with attachments down. All these threads with critical information in the attachments . . . ugh

 

As we speak I just got my classic version back, usually have to reload 4 or 5 times, this time first time. Maybe things will get fixed.
The old info is the info we want to save, there has not been any new discoveries here in a long time, some but the work that is older sheds the light needed for the future owners of these cars.
