Howdy,
I've got an 87 740 GLE 175k miles. I am looking at getting a 98/99 C70 coupe as an upgrade. Considering that most of these should have some mileage by now, I'd like to get a few questions answered to tighten up my shopping list.
What is the timing chain replacement interval for this car?
Does the engine have to be pulled to replace it?
If you've owned one, what were your experienced maintenance issues/costs?
Anybody swinging their own wrenches on these things? The engine compartment looks like a real knuckle-buster. Is that the case?
Were there 2 turbo options these years, (high pressure and low pressure) or just one?
I want the 5 speed box. Doesn't look like there is many out there. Can anybody comment on the manual transmission in regards to responsiveness and gearing?
Kudos to this group BTW. I had the oil light flicker problem the other day. This groups old posts allowed me to troubleshoot and replace the old frayed wiring for nearly nothing.
Thanks!
