it amazes me how people so love bosch product when nearly all the
aftermarket stuff is between mediocre and dismal. just this week i had a
guy insist on all bosch filters and nothing could convince him otherwise.
i can't recall ever putting anyone in bosch wires as that just borders on
sadism. generally i'm big on beru wire sets in beru boxes

Froggy has been having the farts (Backfiring) for a while. We have
discussed it here a few times with all manner of solutions mentioned. I
decided to see what another indy would find.
I had attended a club meeting at a German car shop that was trying to get
more attention from Benz owners. I had Froggy up on the lift at that
gathering and minor issues were found, like that trans leak. They offer an
oil change package that includes a 130 point inspection and all you pay for
are the filter and fluids. At the end, you get a very nicely printed
report of all the niggling and large items needing attention.
Frosch has a few leaks at the front seal, differential, and on the trans
cooler hose. The fuel delivery problem/back firing was the issue I wanted
addressed, so there were a few days used trying to get that dealt with.
New spark wires to replace the utter garbage I got from Q two years ago.
Bosch wires are crap that fell apart at the boots. So far five of the
eight failed. New distributor points were installed, though my other indy
had claimed to have done the same.
They checked a few other items and got the thing running the best it will
until I can source fresh injectors and trigger points. Estimate is $5k for
that job. I do have a set of used injectors that could be tested and
cleaned, then installed to deal with the sloppy spray pattern on the
installed ones.
Anybody think the trigger points can be rebuilt? Maybe if I had one or
two from donor cars.
