RUNNING REPORT 7

BACKGROUND:

• The pesky oil leak mentioned in Running Report 6, whilst not critical, when combined with a fan belt warning light on my dash, bothered me sufficiently to book the car in on 20 May, 2000.
• With regards to the leak, for those of you unsure as to where to spot the leak, look for a bolt like item under the RHS side skirt near the rear tire (see picture below). Once the oil leak becomes more evident, the bolt will usually be covered by oil, dripping onto the floor in a slow but steady manner.

WORK DONE:

• Without going into details, the required hoses and associated clamps were changed after I handed over SGD700.

Note the "bolt" which is now dry thanks to the replacement of the oil pipe from the filter housing to the thermostat.

• The warning light on the dash was the result of the breakage of the belt tensioner which correspondingly proceeded to shred the various belts it was designed to place tension upon.

• The item, together with the various belts were replaced.

New belt tensioner in place- also note the new belts!!

POST SERVICE SYNOPSIS:

• Oil leak has disappeared and the car (as far as I know), is now almost completely oil leak free (not bad for a 10 year old 964)!!!
• Oh yes, no more warning lights- for the moment.
