Re: Service
is there a pick-up-water in the leg?
Yes, the raw water pump is in the drive...
How long should an annual service take to complete on a 5.7 litre Alpha 1 by a dealer with no problems
Depends on what one considers annual. I do my own maintenance and my annual is changing oil, going through all ignition components, pulling drive to check for water intrusion in drive bellow, changing drive oil, pressure testing drive, check engine alignment, checking gimbal bearing, checking U-joints and reinstalling drive.
What about you giving it a go and trying to do the annual? Great people here to help and the satisfaction of doing it yourself is rewarding.
Do not know what year the engine and drive is or I could give you the link to the exact digital manual.
Here is Don's link to the manuals so you can choose appropriate.
