  1. 6F - Engine Rebuilding
    Hey everyone, So the engine (CIH 1.6N) on my ascona B decided to quit on me about a year ago. Since I knew "nothing" about mechanics I decided to seek for professional help. They said it was the head-gasket and that it would cost me north of 650€ to replace it. Being a college student, i'm...
  2. 6A - Engine Mechanical
    Hey there everyone, can someone please show me where the block's coolant drain plug is located? I'm changing the head gasket in my ascona B and would like to know where said plug is located. Also, my engine is the CIH 16N. Thank you for your time! :cool:
  3. Group 6 - Engine
    Hey everyone! Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me what the diferences between the CIH 1.6 S and 1.6 N are? Internal components, diferent head..? Thank you for your time and knowledge! :D

    Hey guys, I am in the market for a torque wrench in order to replace the head gasket on my ascona B. Can someone recommend a good one at a reasonable (let's say 40£) price. It would be awesome if it were also available on ebay or amazon (UK), so if there are any lads with that particular...

    Just wanted to show off the new shoes I got for my Ascona. Nothing incredible but they look pretty good, fit perfectly, and the price was right. (for anyone curious, they are 15 inch, with 20mm of offset). This is a daily driver and project car at the same time, so while it may not be up to...

  7. 3A - Front Suspension

  9. 4A - Differential
    I'm looking for a set of rear axle pinion bearings for a '75 Sportwagon (Ascona Voyage station wagon). These are for a friends car which is currently parked until suitable replacements can be sourced. The P/N's off the existing (worn out) pieces are: KM 88010 (race) & 511688A (cone) - both...

    I was wondering if any of you would be interested in starting a group for Mantas? I am not singling us out, just trying to get us together. Would anyone be interested? I would start it, I just don't want to be the only one in the group... Dean
