Thanks guys. Very helpful.

Got a 172. Can anyone of you wise and knowledgable people tell me how the ecu gets info about engine water temp. Does it come from the sensor that feeds the temp gauge or is there a second sensor. Can I assume that if the gauge is reading around the right temp the ecu is getting the same...

Can you help me with this one? Doesn't seem to have the same sticker on it!

I've got CLIP and a Creader obd tool that both work well on my 182. You are welcome to borrow them if you want to give them a go. I'm in RG10.

Maybe the MAF then? Disconnecting my MAF (Clio 182) makes a big difference - it is hard to start, mis and back fires. Pretty undriveable really. The one on my Jeep was causing problems of hesitancy. A good clean sorted it so maybe try that with MAF cleaner/spray.

And me please.

Aaaah. OK. I'll bear that in mind. I do have a new one somewhere in the garage!

Thanks James. I found it all pretty straightforward - just took a bit of time to set the timing up. I'll take a good look at the belt and if there is any sign of oil I will renew.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. Just have to do it all again - but properly this time!

The leak is seeping from the join between cam cover and head. Trying to remember...are you sure the cam pulleys need to come off to get the cam cover off. I should remember - only did it a month or so ago The cams would lift but not by a lot and anyway if they stayed in relative position to...

Annoyingly, having just changed the cambelt and all associated bits, retimed it and put it all back together, I've got a little leak from the cam cover. Been giving this some thought as I don't really want to dismantle it all again. I'm thinking maybe I could put all the cam locking tools back...

Anybody know the purpose of this third uninsulated wire? Should it connect somewhere? To earth maybe? Here's a picture of mine hanging loose

Hi. I'm reprogramming my injection ecu. My pin extractor isn't working. Could someone with a working version give me the matching code for 060963. Many thanks

Replaced the injectors with a s/h set. Still problems with starting but it pulls pretty well above 2000rpm. Ran it down for the MOT retest and would you believe the result!!?? CO 0%, HC 14ppm and lambda 1.03 on fast idle and CO 0% on natural idle. Unbelievable after the original results...

Having taken a look at the live data it seems that the emissions are so far out, an overfuelling problem is most likely causing the lambdas to lean out continuously. Fuel regulator or injectors maybe? The injectors were cheapo replacements so I wonder if they are naff. Think I will check the...
