Thanks for the comment Red. I never could get rid of my wing.....maybe :lawl:
And yeah I agree the caps are needed. My issue is I don't know what kind of rims they are beside that they're Konig, I've looked up serial number and all. And I just never went ahead and bought caps to test em out...
I disagree!! Do it right the first time otherwise in a year you'll be buying the nice stuff anyways and re-doing it because your cheap route didn't last long!
Also +1 to RedRyder, Go to a junkyard for any spare headlight pieces you need theres sure to be a coupe or sedan there. I needed wiring...
I'm just worried about going that internal into the engine and not getting the timing right.
Just called two shops....got estimates of $850 for entire timing belt kit and labor and $950 for entire timing belt kit AND drive belts and labor. Thoughts?
Was thinking of selling the car soon...
Thanks for those links James. When you replaced yours did you do it yourself? Don't have the time right now to work on the car so wondering if I should just go to a shop even thought $90 is a lot nicer than $500+ but Im worried about messing something else up going in to do the timing belt...
Probably won't dive into the timing belt myself thats a bit too much for me.
Suggestions on next step? Shop inspection?
EDIT: also like I said the noise is gone now so I'm not really sure how to proceed. THE LAST THING I want to do is blow my engine because I drove it with a bad timing belt.....
Hey guys so about a week ago I was driving my CG3 home and downshifted into 2nd to pull into my driveway and all of a sudden the car started making a loud whining noise coming from near the alternator, belts, and timing belt.
Messed with it for awhile, when revved up it seemed to smooth out...
