Default I do recommend to replace if you have over 100K. When I took my out, the plastic was soft like......

butter. That was the reason why it was leak, not because the o-ring failed. The new flange had the o-ring pre-installed on it.

Default Great job. Let me tell you how great this forum is: in the S14.net, those old timers there only.....

tell you to search. Of course they know how since they either own them long time ago or they own many similar cars (E30 318is, 325is...). There are no such thing as TA. All the info are scaterred all over the place. There is no concrete answer to one thing. I serach the hell out of me and still could not find answer.
Just ranting.

Default thats the reason i started the b5 faq. because all the info is scattered all over

if everyone brings in some of the knowledge that they have and share it with the board we will rule the world. (not really but its a german thing about ruling the world)
