If you could shed some light on the final times / costs that would be appreciated….(just big fat round estimates)

Well done and congratulations (again)

I will definitely be doing a summary of the entire engine repair process when it comes to the total cost, I will make it available. As for the time frame, it will be rather nue possible because I did it after hours and in my free time, more or less regularly, so I am totally unable to determine the number of hours spent on the engine.

Sweet! I'll bet that first turn of the key had you a little nervous.

Hi everyone,

Since the engine rebuild, I have driven the car 400 km with the first oil change after about 200 km. The engine runs very well, starts well and runs smoothly. I was alerted by the smell of burnt oil and a fine mist under the hood. I thought it was the remnants that were left (left bank) on the engine during assembly and must simply burn out. For the next few days a fine mist appeared and the smell of burning oil. I started to investigate and noticed that I have a leak to the point that after the end of the ride I leave a few drops of oil on the driveway.Do you think it could be a sign of a cracked intake manifold or a damaged gasket under the manifold?

I have one more question, because maybe someone has already had a similar situation ... While driving, it happened several times that the throtle pedal did not respond. After releasing the throtle pedal and pressing it again, everything was back to normal. I will add that during this ailment there was an error "damaged gearbox", „damaged stabilization system", "damaged braking assistance system", „broken suspension”, After turning off and restarting, everything returns to normal.

If anyone has experienced something similar before, I would be grateful for a comment.

The pedal response and errors is consistent with a brake pedal switch failure.

Photos of the mist and location? Get someone to stall the engine up for you.

Be nice if it said so.

Good luck with sorting your final teething issues mate 👍🏽
