Right now since mid end januari in the middle of winter here in the Netherlands i use the 304 Monza as daily cause my other daily is broken and i am using it for like 3 months +- now as daily and a few small issues popped up..............Oil leak from dizzy.........Very minimal and dont leak on the ground but on the exhaust so it burns off.
Small fuel leak on cyl 1 or 2 (i alsways forget whats 1 or 2 but its on the aus drivers side) on the injector meaning i smelled fuel in the cabin but did not see any leaks and then i started the car and saw a drup of petrol dripping on the intake then i turned/twisted the injector a bit and the leak closed (meaning its o-ring time but wenn its doesnt leak its okay with me i leave it for now as it dont leak).
And i had a very very very minimal coolant leak like 0,5l per 3/4 weeks that i needed to top up but i could not find the leak as the engine/trannie where always dry underneath.
But i heard a sound from the heater core wenn i revved the engine a bit harder wenn warmed up it like its filling up the heater core so i found out the passenger side (ure driver side) had a wet floor and it was coolant and its a like several hours to replace the heater core as u need to take apart half the dash i decited to try some K-seal to fix small leaks in the cooling system and i though well the heater core is the issue so lets poor it in there and i did.................................lol my heating was gone (it was poor before).
So i flushed my system the same way as the cooland flows and it had marginal effect and then i saw vids that u need to flush the heater core the opposide way as the coolant flow and ow hell what a yunk and dirt came out after i put a garden hose on it it was like alot of brown fluid came out,and then wenn that was clean i added another of that K seal packages and so far the last 2 weeks my coolant stays 100% the same and the floor is dry and the weird noise from the heater core is gone,and now i love to temper the heater wenn its 10 degrees outside,its like 10x better now in terms of heat i get inside.
This 304 has only 1 muffle and its pretty loud its soo funny to see people look at U at a parking lots wenn u fire the v8 up as its so loud most people look and think what car is that,they dont reconise the car and sound,they are used to there 1.3-2.0l 3/4cyl small eco friendly **** box engine,i love this V8 in the car...
The engine idid over 300k in australia and was opent so probaly rebuild but it burns no oil at all and has no leaks and starts on all 8 and runs like a dream daily.
I love it.
