2 man job, one in engine bay holding a socket on the bolts, then other under the car with a rachet, a load of extensions and a universal joint really helps
If your getting a fault on both I'd be I climbed to check the connector near the subframe as this Carry's the wires for both rear sensors, seems odd they would both go down at the same time
I think not
The only ones I found that fit were made by Triscan.
There was a thread a few months ago, me an Steve pin pointed the correct ones, but long story short was boch don't fit.
The last 2 days when pulling out the carpark at work the abs pump has gone mental for the first few presses of the brake, then after that is fine.
It seems a completely different fault to when I had a duff rear sensor, as that just lit the abs light permanently and I could feel slight feedback...
Yep outside the car.
Remove driver's arch liner and youl see it.
Pain in the arse to reach, I had the subframe down and it was still awkward, probz easy on a ramp though but I was on the drive
The Triscan one I fitted to my phase 2 has been faultless.
No idea if phase 1 use the same sensor or not though, I assume not, but could be wrong.
If you can get the OEM part numbers then autodocs part finder does a brilliant job of matching to aftermarket parts.
I keep meaning to try one of these spray on type ceramic sealents. I never thought they could give much of a shine compared to a proper wax, but clearly they can!
If I'm changing my cambelt in a month or so and it is stuck on, do I actually even need to worry about it? I know that the belt is supposed to be turned over a few times before finalising, but could I just tighten the cams back up and turn the entire engine over a few times to equalise the...
To be fair I was looking on eBay the other day and noticed that 197s have really come down in value.
I fancied one but the shocking fuel economy and cheese gearboxes put me off.
When it pulls is it during acceleration? When coasting?
I had a pull to the right , changed everything suspension related, still the same
4 new tyres. Problem solved
I wouldn't have thought so, the edge ribs are taller to stop the belt skipping a rib I think.
What are you worried about happening with the pure pulley? I dont think they would sell something thats going to make your engine self destruct surely?
The message I got from him was regarding the same question.
He said he doesn't do the fast road shifter anymore as the manufacturer was charging him a fortune. He reccomended I buy stiff shift, stiff ball insert and quick shift along with a scenic shifter.
Or just lower the subframe on a jack?
Loosen passenger side bolts until theres not much thread left, then remove driver's side completely and just hold the subframe on a jack while you do the work.
No need for any special rods
Bent stub axel or rear beam.
You can get shims to go behind the stub axel, but that's a pretty big difference, I would have thought it would be quite obviously bent
