    Two questions, one about heater controls, other about hesitation

    Good afternoon fellow forum frequenters. I am looking for some help. I have a 1990 mkiii that I purchased a little over a month ago. Since then I've aggressively attacked the body fixing some issues and worked on the motor here and there. The car set for 3 years before I got it. When I brought...

    Help with shocks, tires and a trunk problem

    My gas tank has been blasted and resealed and I am amazed at how well the car is running. On to topic, I have a set of brand new 225/60r16s that went to my old monte carlo. I have stock saw blade rims on my mk3, what I am curious about is will these tires fit on to the mk3? They looked quite a...

    Electric whine coming from fuel pump, and hesitation

    Well I decide to try see if electrolysis would work and so far so good. Its been two days so I think after tonight and tomorrow morning it'll be rust free. Burned my arm hair off after a stray spark hit some fumes lol. More funny then scary

    Electric whine coming from fuel pump, and hesitation

    Got it figured out. Full pump was working way to hard as the tank is awful, covered with rust and crud. Had my brother look at it, I'm color blind on reds and such, he said its ate up, going to get it blasted and cleaned this week.

    Electric whine coming from fuel pump, and hesitation

    It was a warranty replacement from the mechanic I bought it from. I think a airtex. On Friday, I'm going to be getting a walbro. I'm fairly certain the pump is either clogged or just bad out of the box.

    Electric whine coming from fuel pump, and hesitation

    I have a 1990 mkiii, I just purchased it. Car set for 3 years before i got it. I put a new fuel pump in it and it works great. I changed all my fluids, getting plugs and wires tomorrow.

    Buying a 90 mk3 turbo, looking for advice

    After messing with it a bit this morning I'm going to lean towards it just needing a good tune up, and Jonah the body is rough lol. Really rough. The clear coat is faded and there is collision damage on the driver rear panel. I'm going to sand it down, find the spots of concern, and any rust...

    Buying a 90 mk3 turbo, looking for advice

    Alright, so I bit the bullet and bought it. I've only noticed a few small things here and there. All the hosing is going to be replaced, the turbo shaft felt good, no rubbing on the housing or touching. The oil looks good, still going to change it. The mechanic gave me a new fuel pump, he gave...

    Buying a 90 mk3 turbo, looking for advice

    The car is not in the best of shape but the mechanic is only wanting 500 bucks for it. It runs, I've driven it twice, no knocking, shifts good, auto unfortunately. I've drained some of the fluids to make sure there isn't sawdust or something in the oil. The car has set for 3 years. Its going to...
