hey just got a '86 touring wagon
my dad put in new timing belt and seals can't find exhaust leak but it sounds like a tractor
Do all EA82's sound tractory??
thanks, Lisa
my soob sounds like a tractor
When you say it sounds like a tractor, is it louder than it should be or does the engine sound funny? If it just sounds funny, maybe the valve timing isnt quite right.
Being a boxer, they do all have a lovely off beat note too them, but should not sound like a tractor,even if they pull like one.

If it is louder check where the flanges meet the head its not unusual for these to crack normally its only a hairline one to start with!

Hey Fujisoobs,
A few things with the EA82:
If you've jumped a tooth on either cam you will notice a significant difference in performance.
If its ticking ignore it - some say to use a semi synthetic oil as this will reduce lifter tick.
If its a putting sorta sound, check all the exhaust gaskets, as said, it just needs to be a hair line and it will putter.
If it really sounds like a tractor you've probabily got a hole in the cat, resinator or rear muffler or maybe a hole in the pipe somewhere.
Good luck with it, let us know how it goes.
