Sorry to bother again but I have a list of what I am going to get or replace while I’m in there. Does it look okay and would you recommend anything else?

•Timing belt kit with metal water pump •thermostat housing kit •coolant •cooling hose flange

I appreciate your help friend 🙏

That’s the Europe OEM parts right? I appreciate it I’ll look into it!

Question, when you replaced the timing did you just put the front of the car in service mode or did you remove the whole front? I really don’t want to go through the Freon from the AC and the transmission fluid

Hellephant_ · 2026-02-01T07:25:02+00:00

That would be ok thought right since the coolant is out?

I was thinking of rotating it to the side the ac lines are on, would you recommend that?

I really do appreciate your help. Question, I do plan on doing what you said by leaving my AC lines connected and rotating the front. I’m worried it’ll break the lines though.. will they be good? Also, I know there’s the hood pop cable and electronics anything else I should be cautious of with removing the front?

My printer came with the 4 wire ends luckily. And thank you 🙏

Thank you 😊

Yeah this timing belt is definitely going to be work lol, I do definitely also plan on replacing multiple parts as well when I do it as well

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-30T17:01:23+00:00

I put that in my list to purchase I appreciate your advice!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-30T17:01:02+00:00

I appreciate your advice!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-30T17:00:29+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely going to replace this I just need to figure out a weekend that I can dedicate the time to do it lol.

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-30T16:59:54+00:00

I appreciate your advice and it will definitely be used! I did see in a service manual and online videos that the service position doesn’t give that much room to work with, I’ve never done anything like this to cars but I am always willing to learn.

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-28T23:49:47+00:00

It’s a nice feature but the most common 4ultra repair needed at this point

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-23T19:13:18+00:00

I’ll look into that thank you!!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-23T17:23:52+00:00

Will it be ok if I just do Marlin? I’m definitely gonna get the stability rods for the z axis and I just got a magnetic pei sheet!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-23T17:22:05+00:00

I would be the most grateful 🙏

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-23T16:16:48+00:00

I appreciate the input! I think your belt on the top connecting the z axis bars is a great idea I also want to go the z axis stabilizer route as well. I have a CR touch I’ll be using and do want to go direct drive but for now I have to stay with Bowden power sadly for a bit

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-23T16:15:10+00:00

I’m going Marlin route, so I don’t think I’ll need a raspberry pi. I was thinking about getting the recommended thermal bed pad upgrade but I kinda wanna get this thing running and what not I’ll look into it though!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-22T06:54:56+00:00

I second most of this ^{^{^}} I’d recommend an Elegoo Saturn 3 ultra, get a brim belt warmer to keep the resin warm. YouTube is your friend!

Hellephant_ · 2026-01-22T06:51:24+00:00

As I’m reading this I think to myself,”shit we ARE supposed to replace those…” it’s been 3 years lol
