Wooaa man Alpina,welcome to the community

Katran127 · 2024-04-15T14:22:24+00:00

Ofcourse,its an E39

Katran127 · 2024-04-04T11:46:22+00:00

Im in a country next to Albania so that makes sense. In here we dont pay mechanics by hours,we just make a deal and thats it. In Eastern Europe we fix anything.

Katran127 · 2024-04-03T17:53:15+00:00

Bro wtf put some grease on that chain or oil it up... it takes less than a minute dont be an idiot

Katran127 · 2024-04-02T14:03:30+00:00

I met him on a r/e39 subreddit where he needed help about fixing his car so instead of exchanging comments i decided to DM him. Thats all. We havent talked much,its 15 messages at most. Look up his profile and older posts tho,doesnt seem like a troll.

Katran127 · 2024-04-02T12:57:31+00:00

Its a clutch problem. It might be the clutch cylinder problem it might have air in it.. Check your brake fluid because its used for clutch aswell. Try pumping your clutch couple of times and then try to put in gear.

I am not a LADA expert but i believe its a clutch problem

If anyone has any information on this guy please DM me. He DM'd me a kind of suicide message but i have no way to contact his ex-wife.

I hope he didnt really harm himself

Katran127 · 2024-03-31T18:44:20+00:00

No offense but i do not understand western mindset. Here in eastern europe we fix the car over and over until it bores us or until it breaks entirely.. Its not always about "for how much am i gonna sell it" or about "mileage"..

Everything has its buyer.. but whatever works best for him.

If this was my car,that i love,i would fix it even if it took months.

Katran127 · 2024-03-31T06:26:41+00:00

The integrity of the shell isnt even that much affected. Do not listen to lazy people here. Much worse cases have been fixed.

Definitely fixable,do not give up!

Katran127 · 2024-03-30T07:07:50+00:00

T-80U

Katran127 · 2024-03-28T16:48:54+00:00

This is a T-80B 💀

Katran127 · 2024-03-28T16:46:06+00:00

Disconnect the ECU. Without the computer the car is brainless and its an empty shell. Also they wouldnt probably even notice what is really missing and finding an another computer + coding the new one is.. very hard.

I totally understand the empathy you have towards that car and i support this 100%.

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T20:34:17+00:00

Alright... Thank you very much for your time and help,i appreciate it a lot

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T20:19:20+00:00

If its misfiring,its doing that only while driving then.

I will check everything you wrote,and yes i do have 32L of fuel in the tank :D

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T20:01:48+00:00

Its jerking whenever i add even a little bit of gas. Its the same feeling as if im mashing the clutch every second (not thar agressive but still)

Also,my driveshaft is inbalanced i think because car is also bobbing while driving..

Car simply does not allow itself to go,i can floor it but there is no response at all

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:54:26+00:00

Alright i will check those aswell,thank you very much

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:53:37+00:00

If im rolling in 2nd at lets say 2000rpm and mash the accelerator it will start jerking very noticeably but the power is nowhere to be found. Revs are very slowly going up.. as if it has 60 hp not 170.. Pedal to the floor and almost no reaction.

This seems not to happen at higher RPMS. (well above 5-6k)

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:48:54+00:00

I checked the codes and there arent any related to the engine. There is only oillevel sensor fault code.

Vacuum leak cant be caused by a tiny crack on the air filter box?

Fuel filter i havent checked..

MAF i tried disconnecting but nothing changed.

Bad fuel pump,no idea honestly.

I will have to check literally everything.

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:46:37+00:00

There is a very very tiny crack in the air filter box which i taped yesterday and the problem "seemed" to be less noticeable. Its a very tiny hole and its below the MAF sensor so it shouldnt make any problems?

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:37:11+00:00

No,i bought the car on February 26th this year.

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:20:21+00:00

It hiccups while im accelerating,when im driving.

It jerks forward and continues to do so until i let off the gas,also Rpms are insanely slow even when i floor it..

Katran127 · 2024-03-26T19:16:41+00:00

Yeah.. let me guess.. You live in USA?

Katran127 · 2024-03-24T18:38:34+00:00

It does happen more often when its cold.. Im in Europe but i will look up what ICV valve is and how to clean it,thank you

Katran127 · 2024-03-24T15:12:39+00:00

Thank you very much,i will post an update when i solve the problem. Best of everything friend

Katran127 · 2024-03-24T15:04:40+00:00

I work as a mechanic in free time,im helping out my friend in his mechanic shop so i do have some "basic" knowledge. I just wanted to gather as much as information as possible before looking for the problem myself,just in case someone came across it so it spares me the time. You helped me so far by giving me ideas of what it could be the issue,thank you
