    Repair Process: Seals, Gaskets, Belts (56K NO!)

    Wire: Confirm it's a coil pack ground put a new terminal on it and reconnect it. Hose: I'd replace every hose in the car as they all look trashed, it's up to you if you reconnect the TB heating but under certain circumstances turbo cars can freeze up the TB. I suspect it was done on ours...
