From what I see, the spray pattern shouldn't be too different between both injectors however I probably have everything to gain by swapping EV6 injectors in. This engine had EV6s at the end of the production during the early 2000s.

Yes I was worried about that but realized than in almost 15 years of running E85, none of my cars had injector troubles and all of them used Bosch EV1 injectors or Siemens Deka with the same design. Maybe they were not built with E85 in mind but that doesn't mean they have problem with it in the...

This is very helpful. I can see myself spending a lot of time trying to find the best injector and I am amazed at the difference in spray pattern data from injectors that I thought were almost identical.

Original injectors are 0 280 150 446 and "new" ones are 0 280 150 749.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 96 Peugeot 406 1.8, didn't really need it but couldn't pass. It is litteraly like a brand a new car with 180,000 km on the odo. Single owner car who did everything himself and cleaned the car every time he drove it and stored it in his heated garage for 30...

I am so happy. One of my car's AC is fixed! Had trouble sleeping with the heat wave we're having in western France and decided I could at least try to figure out what's bad with the Peugeot's AC. Being built 30 years ago I always thought everything in the system would be leaking but to my...

What's frustrating is that I would never buy a car without a working AC yet it absolutely always fails in the following weeks or months. Everytime I say to myself "this time it will keep working". I guess I am cursed with failing ACs and tire vibration issues. I was talking about that with...

The only refrigerant I can buy is R12A and i have to order it online. I think the leak is bad enough that I can't get it charged at all.

I will try to find someone competent enough to find the leak in the Mercedes. To be honest, If it turns out the evaporator is leaking or no one is able to make it work I might rip the whole AC system off the car despite being my main car and enjoy the added room in the engine bay and less...

I always wondered if it's necessarily a good thing or not. Maybe those parts were sold as TRW because they didn't pass BMW's QC? Just a theory I had with a friend. I've heard about SKF flex discs with scratched a Mercedes logo being sometimes slightly out of balance.

In my case it was the passenger side hydraulic mount and the car was a 1997 C250 Turbodiesel manual.

I am digging this subject a bit and it looks like something i wouldn't want in my car. Google "Tragedia de La Cresta".

If i knew what R12A was before i would have ordered a few cans but it's too late. Maybe the leak is substantial anyway and i couldn't keep the system charged for more than a day.

It's in my top 5 riffs of all time! Unfortunately Ratt never played here. Warren DeMartini is my one of my favorite from that era with George Lynch.
