SRDT Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 You have space on front, try using the belt driven vacuum pump from a 205 diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goce Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I hate those vacuum pumps, they make terrible noise and seem to be unreliable, thanks for the suggestion, on another note i have a spare 605 brake booster and 23mm master cylinder, from looking at it seems like it will bolt straight in i may try it before i start spending money, may be just a failing booster of bad master cylinder.

my3AWDgst Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Today BC upper spring seat with Koyo bearing arrived including new retaining nuts. I'm very satisfied how these have worked out on my MI16 BC coilovers and I'll try these on my Wagon AVO coilovers. I also got new pair of camber plates.

my3AWDgst Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 End up removing front bumper and getting all the light lenses from my parts cars and also me and Nick drove to Bryan's place to pick up rear bumper. These are for person in France that I'm trading for set of Euro bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my3AWDgst Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I end up installing original bumper back on and I cut out holes for fog lights. This bumper is damaged on bottom on driver side,about 10cm of material is missing but it's hard too see it now with fog lights installed and car being so low helps out hiding that missing part of the bumper.

my3AWDgst Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Today I cut off all unnecessary 306 GTI fittings of this radiator and now I'm just waiting on new fittings to arrive. Once they arrive I'll have them welded and finally install this radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my3AWDgst Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 ^^^^ never had a chance to get that done so yesterday I replaced it with new Valeo unit. I also replaced both radiator hoses and driver inner C.V boot. She got nice wash as well followed by one hour engine bay detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my3AWDgst Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I end up calling them and ordering directly from them. They shipped them out next day with FedEx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goce Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 What kind features do those boots have, do they have integrated o ring on the mating surfaces, strengthening fibers, biggest trouble with plastic cv boots i've had is to get them to seal to the cv joint and keep them on.

my3AWDgst Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm not sure,I haven't opened the boxes yet :-) On the end something is better then nothing,I'm not happy paying about $45 each plus shipping from Europe. Hell it took me few years to track this down,I put too much effort in researching parts or HOW TO and not a lot 405 owners do so I'm on my own here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goce Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well after 27 years of working metal fettig and seals wear out, don't forget to get a freon scale and vacuum pump. I would suggest you replace the o ring seals on the expansion valve, both sides, located on the firewall, the hi heat cycles makes the rock hard, every time the system is open.
