Hi -first post from me, nice to see you exist!!! I'm running my third 626 -the others were so good, why vary? This is a 92 abs model, ge 2 litre 4 door -only...
Hi Phil, and welcome to the club... Firstly, I am glad to hear you know about the allen bolt in the back of the caliper, you will need to adjust that...

Hi Tracy, nice to hear from you again.. Well, you are a member of this club, and your membership was set to receive emails when people post here.. I have...
Cheers John! (& hopefully not Tracy) I'll take a good look at that caliper lever -I found this http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/showthread.php?t=4962 in a yahoo...
This may well be the answer to something which has been bugging me for a while -start up is fine, but once the engine warms up the idle revs drop, so that the...
Hi Phil, On the I4, you only have the one O2 sensor, and it would register a fault code.. this can be read using a 12V LED, or a normal LED with a 1K resistor...
MANY thanks John -great to get on track with this one -I'd thought all this code stuff was beyond mere mortals, & now it all looks feasible & not a conspiracy...
I live in the US and have recently bought a 1991 626 GT. I see that the US version is a little different than the UK version. The one thing that I am looking...
Hi there. You will be refering to our 88 - 91 model the GD.. and I don't think the front corner lights are all clear.. there may be an amber plastic insert...
I work permanent nights as a truck driver. Every time I climb, knackered, into my 626 to drive home from work I'm struck by how much better it is, as about...
And there you have the dilemma.... When it does finally go to the scrap yard in the sky, what on earth do you replace it with ???? My thoughts are a Lexus LS...
The new Honda Accord looks nice. Be a few years before I'm in one of those though. I won't spend more than £1000 on a car. What's the Mazda 6 like? It looks...
Hi My friend has a 2001 diesel 626 gxi, and the diesel starter light comes on as normal at startup, but never goes out as it should do. Anyone had this before,...
Well I've freed up the frozen left rear caliper lever- got it nice & loose & tapped it out by about 7 mm, cleaned it as best I could & worked a wadge of...
I reckon you may have a worn valve seal or two, but I wouldn't panic too much about it yet -I'm no expert, but I think you can get away with them for a while....
Mazda were replacing calipers... but only in the US as far as I am aware... we got the rough end of the stick again.. There is a caliper on ebay for about £70...
phew -what a relief -it's the wrong side... (& that's cheap, + £10 carriage...) Thanks John -I'm going to have to presevere & hope it's not too badly naffed...
Well, I've started recording it and it took 16 days for it to do it again so I'm going to leave it. it's a bit annoying that it started doing it only 4kmiles...
I had 2 results -the first came as 11 -one long & a short- which I can't see on the list John sent- & an 8 for the airflow sensor. As this seemed strange -the...
pcv gives a suck that's hard to get my thumb back from, & I can't feel or hear any obvious air leaks -so it looks as if it may be the airflow sensor. I don't...
As far as replacing the VAF goes... a second hand unit would be the best option... The V6 uses a VAF, but the I4 uses a MAF... only the VAF has a cone inside.....
Thanks John. PCV also passes this test (splutter)... didn't see any splits in air hoses, opened & sprayed electrical connections I could reach. The MAF then...
The first cylindrical one is the V6 Phil.. and it's a VAF, not a MAF.. The second one is a MAF, with a hot wire inside (like yours) If the code for the MAF...
