    The car is packed and Europe awaits

    I would say this trip may take up to 7 hours, the roads are better when you are getting closer to Gothenburg and onwards, from there it is highway with 2 lanes in each direction, and in some places you are allowed to drive at 120 km/h (74,5 mph) The traffic should not be so bad, considering...

    So, I saw that you will be travelling the west coast of Sweden to Trelleborg, via E6, just about in the middle of that leg, is where we have our summer house, in Mellbystrand. I checked the weather along the route and it is supposed to be quite good after an overnight rain. Happy travel. //Sweabe

    Question: Is something missing?

    Whalepirot, Thank you! I'm quite sure that the original cap is open to the atmosphere, as the shape of it is a little special, rectangular. So there should not be any problem driving the car without it. But I would like to keep the car "complete", it is just anoying to know that the cap is...

    Question: Is something missing?

    I have also read that you should avoiding using high pressure washer, however, I was not washing the engine, but the frame rails, suspension etc. But I agree that the general rule is, not to use a high pressure washer. "Go to an auto parts place and ask for some vacuum caps." My...

    Question: Is something missing?

    I found it, in the FSM, it is the cover on the vacuum bleeder valve. So now it's only to find the cover, as I only backed the car into the garage after cleaning it. //sweabe

    Question: Is something missing?

    Hib, I have done that several times, but I will do it again. I have searched for pictures on the net, showing this part of the engine room, and on one I could barely see what looked as a blind plug. I have the FSM, but have not been able to locate this (yet) //sweabe

    Question: Is something missing?

    Hi, In my -94 Convertible, is there something missing in the red square of the picture? I saw this after having high pressure cleaned this side of the engine. It is located on the hose to the secondary air pump. //sweabe

    Hi Jack, I have totally missed this, but I have been following your road trips since I became a member of CAC, I now understand that you will arrive in Norway, and that you will pass Stockholm, Sweden, when do you expect to arrive in Stockholm? If you need help with anything during your stay...

    Question: Rear Bearing Hub

    I have replaced the rear bearing hubs, and have two different instructions on how to tighten the Hub Nut. 1. The FSM states that I should NOT lower the vehicle onto the wheels until the nut is properly tighten (I assume this is the correct instruction) 2. Together with the Hub (SKF) was a...

    Question: Chasing leaks

    Hi, I would say, in general SKF is one of the world leading brands in bearings and seals, I'm of course biased, as SKF is a Swedish company, founded 1907 www.skf.com However, I do not have personal experience of your application, so I can't give you a recommendation on what to do, but maybe...

    Replace clutch bypass switch or get rid of.

    Never seen a clutch switch here in Europe, unless the car is imported from the US, had one in my -73 4-speed Coupe Talking about safety, what if you are alone and the car stalls on a railway crossing. Without a clutch switch you can then move the car on the starter, saving both your car and...

    C4 jacking points/jack stand locations

    Of course, one picture says more than 1000 words. I just did not have any pictures available when posting to this tread. I will post pictures the next time I raise the car. Mine is a convertible, and by that the rear jack stands position may differ from that in the article. (X-brace) //Sweabe
