It seems 20v.org has gone offline again, I did a quick search both here and that other place looking for the thread where somebody solved the problem last time.

Does anybody remember the thread and who solved the problem?

Parts car (shell) gone good!

But what’s with the tractor leaving?

Anybody traveling through the Baltimore area on their way to Carlisle?

I’m looking for the a climate control breather vent from a B3 to use as amodel to 3d printer replacements,

Yeah I could drop the glove box and do a the contortionist thing that is required to remove the one that’s in my car, but that’s a pain.

Considering that it’s gonna be used as a model I’m not ...

Is the battery ground cable still in decent shape?

So when’s BBQ?
At this rate ... hmm.

Congratulations!

So the fuel pump in my CQ seems to be doing a death squeal, TBH I never listened for the fuel pump except when troubleshooting starting problems.
So far the problem has not progressed beyond making noise.

Before spending $300 on the drop in solution I’ve got to wonder if I can gather needed parts ...

I’ve acquired a pair of clean rear calipers from the left coast, but they need a rebuild.

My usual part supplier acquired kits that appear to have the correct seal and boot for the piston, but the internal seals are clearly not right.

Does anybody have a reliable source for kits that include the ...

Is your target bbq?

The issue turned out to be stupid simple.
The nuts on bracket that connects the tie rods together at the rack where loose.
Not sure how that happened as they where new nylock nuts last year.

Thighten the nuts and an alingment and all is well.

Knowing my alignment guy it’s probably dead nuts on.
Seeing how the inner tie rods are the only things I did not replace I’m thinking I’ll replace them and revisit my alignment guys with a request in hand to set things the toe to the inside end of the spec.

Before I go looking for new inner ends ...

I did not replace theninner bushings at the rack.
Any suggestions on replacements?

Jack

Did you get the car re-aligned?

Yes, twice but that requires an explanation.
The first time was a place just a few miles from my house, they advertise that they touch Audi’s but I doubt they ever touched a CQ, it might have been aligned but it was not right.

The second alignment was done buy a ...

Last time I drove my CQ I noticed what I’ll call crappy on center steering feel.
I did. Not notice this issue prior to lowering with H&S sprints and Koni adjustable shocks.
Along the with the shocks and springs I replaced all the bushings as well as swapping the stamped control arms for forged. The ...

Considering how stuck the heads where on the original engine I wondered was going to happen once the engine was on the stand.
Question answered, seems like these heads did not give you a lot of grief.

Are the ...

Can you share your LED vendor details and part numbers.
Also how well do these LEDs cooperate with the auto check build out warnings?
I relayed my headlights last year but never got around to addressing the bulb out warning.

Thanks, Jack

Last year on my way home from Carlisle my car died on the road. I had it towed home and after too much time poking around I figured out that the distributor basic timing code was caused by a stripped distributor gear,
I replace the gesr with another bronze 034 gear and thought it was a fluke.

Looking for others traveling through Maryland on Friday targeting a noonish arrival at the show field. In the past if headed out into western Maryland for a scenic drive through the mountains, or met up with others in York.

Who's coming through?

So it's now Wallart.

I'll be there.

It's Saturday May 6 this year (website has not been updated)
I'm tempted to go but prefer to caravan over going solo.
