@HMS Derv Destroyer
Pretty sure I did it right. Blocked off the feed back to the pump so no air was taken in. Just ran the car with the pipe on the return nozzle.
Engine was cold. Does that make a difference?
Had a google and can't find the correct method or specs so that would be ever so...
Did the leak off test today like this
Ran it for 4 minutes with it just above 1k
From right to left
injector 1....... 106
injector 2....... 108
injector 3....... 117
injector 4....... 97
Will give the leak off another go tomorrow with a little blocking off.
Don't see the problem with second hand injectors. I know they're a fine piece of engineering but with the pressure they have through them they can't be that fragile
Right chaps. Tried to do a leak off and it stalled after a minute. Starts much easier with brake cleaner.
from just the turning over it looks like each injector is giving back about the same as the other although I'm sure you can appreciate its difficult to tell
Cranks at the same rate as the Clio, it's even got a juicier new battery.
Best way to perform leak off? pipes off the returns and hang some bottle off them, never done one.
I'll need to send the pump back if it's busted so can't take it apart. Sold the old one now! that was worse though :)
No really an update but.
Vans new diesel pump is busted. Need to replace that.
Clio is a little meh at the moment. Had the rear bumper done but....... I'll let everyone else judge that. Got 15" ph3 alloys, top dash, dash display, gear gaiter, wiper, tweeters, colour coded spoiler and parcel...
Some of you may know I bought a van which had petrol run through it.
Ran it for 1 minute on the day I sorted it. Was a little tough to start but I figured that would be the air in the lines. Yesterday I went to start it and it was really difficult. Took 5 attempts before it went into life...
it's just completely dependant on how long the ECU bracket take you to get off. It can just come off or like one of ours, I had to cut it off and it took over an hour.
That's of course up to you but I never had a problem with mine. The steering rack bolts and far easier to access on the EPAS set up with the subframe in the car.
I believe some DCI's do have this problem with notchy racks but the one I bought was brand new ex stock. Smooth as and took some...
I think the dci rack is fine but the epas column can wear and cause knocking when under heavy load. One of our dcis does it and the noise is definitely not coming from the rack.
Takes 15 minutes after you've got the ECU cover off (1 minute or 1 day)
need a deep 10mm for the ECU, torx bits can't remember size, about t20, for the steering cowel. 13mm for uch bracket and 1 torx under fuse box cover
Pump. Got exactly the same problem currently with the kangoo. Can't build enough pressure to start the engine. If you try 5 lots of 10s bursts the pressure gets enough to force a start. Just like with this easy start stuff.
lol at the rods. That tickled me.
If you don't already have airbags and the put seats with airbags in then they will just be there doing nothing as you can't plug them in. If you try and plug them in but the airbag ecu isn't programmed for them then you will get a light.
My first one - I'm sitting here trying to think and I can't, must have been having a funny day. In fact I thought they were rather a horrible car and couldn't understand why everyone had one.
Second 182 was a gazillion times better than the first so made sense as it was cheap from a mate.
All...
Is the coil pack cable firmly on the pack. I've had them fall off before.
UCH fuse is a little 5 amp one in the fuse box. Unlikely to be that I think as your car was going and then packed up. Unplug the sensors on the inlet manifold so the ECU runs off its standard base values. Usual fuse, he...
inlet plenum off
Lots of leaning over and back ache because it's under the exhaust manifold. You'll see there's a little heat sheild on it which just pulls off.
Need
Dash wiring, climate panel, heater box, climate control section of the climate loom and the blower motor inc resistor pack.
Takes quite a long time to swap it all over. Some of the wires are there like the connection to the ecu for the AC are there but it's a bigger job than the results...
Ask your garage. They will have to remove aux to do the cambelt. New belt is probably a tenner. New tensioner is easy and quick to fit but not sure of price.
