Vacuum pump circuit breaker

Hello everyone, I have been going over my brake system vacuum pump system as I have observed sometimes that the pump will run for over the 10 seconds ( a lot longer) that it is specified as a maximum. For this to happen, either there is a vacuum leak or the vacuum sensor is not working. My vacuum is...

Re: Replacing brake master cylinder fluid reservoirs

Are there replacement plastic reservoirs available?

EDIT: I just looked on Dinoparts and they do show them. I had never looked for them before... Let us know how this works out for you.

I installed one on my driver's window and sped it up...

Re: Front Rod ball joints originals

Got it; I also hate throwing out "good" but used parts.

Why were they replaced?

Re: Front Rod ball joints originals

What exactly does "like new" mean? Mounted on car? Never mounted? How old are they? Thanks, Luis

Re: How to access grease point in torque tube?

As an additional hint you should also Check if the Four bolts that Connect driveshaft and torque tube are really Tight. Of not this creates this kind of clonk. Hi Tomas.

Re: How to access grease point in torque tube?

Thanks for the hints Stefan. I had a slight “clunk” sound coming from that area when starting to move from a stop forward or in reverse. With the wheels on the ground and moving the driveshaft very very slightly I could hear a slight clunk in either direction coming from inside the torque tube. I do...

Re: driveshaft U-Joint, Universal Joint size?

Thank you Georg. I’ll search for it using the measurements Stefan provided. Then I can cross reference it to a Moog or some other supplier reference number. That’s what we need over here to buy one. The Fiat 130 and Dino were not imported to the USA so the usual way of searching by vehicle manufactu...
