February 29th, 2012. Today I changed the distributionbelt, waterpump and other parts. The house of the thermostat has a little pipe on the lower side that was all corroded, and of course it broke. My spare B25, I have sitting in my garage had the same house, but also the same problem, and it also broke. Stupid fabrication.
Took of the rad, lots of workingspace!

On march the 5th, 2012 i had the carpet cleaned with an extractor. That vacuums i tand flushes soapwater. After that it’s dried. But before all that, the dirt has to come loose, so we used a compressor, 8 bar. We repeated this 3(!) times.

The extractor

What once was clean water…

The carpet after the treatment

And no wit has to dry.

I also cleaned the oilcollector from the gearbox. Flushed it and replaced the filter.

Image

Underneath the gearbox, the square piece is the filter.
