doubt it's the water pump. Very unusual failure indeed. More likely something to do the the belt, tensioner, idler, or possibly the PAS pump which is prone to dying.
Re: help plss how can i stop the big jumping wen it spins in first i keep breakin exh
use some clutch control
back off the throttle
wait until your gearbox s***s itself, and you wont have wheelspin issues again
;)
the head to lower manifold gasket has holes that are bigger than the ports so you have to be careful not to go out as far as that. If you put the gasket on a head you'll see what i mean. The upper to lower join will be pretty much perfect if you match to the gasket.
I saw a car on thursday that...
the wrench in the boot isn't a torque wrench, it's a get you home device. Some bolts need tightening with a bit of accuracy, wheel bolts are one of these.

no, it's not overfueling. It actually needs more fuel to keep correct AFRs due to cold air having a greater density. You're only talkinng about approx 7% more fuel if the intake air temperature is 0
cold air is denser. Air temperature compensations will add more fuel to account for this. Also if the coolant doesn't get up to temperature fully (due to old or inoperative thermostat) then that will also be a source of extra fuel being added.
Worth checking the lambda sensor is operation...
you refering to the packets that come with 4 seals, 3 of the exhaust cam type, and one for the dephaser, or the kits that come with new nut and bolt for the cam pulleys?
Throttle bodies for best power and torque without going forced induction. Extra man points and a big grin as standard
mild cams and matched inlets with a custom map if you dont want to change the ECU
Wild cams, matched inlets and standalone for a manly idle and a big grin
i'm going to say they've fitted the incorrect seal to the dephaser. As i've said before, on several thread, the lifters in these engines dont fail (one guess who it was told you it was that)
If the incorrect seal has been fitted, the dephaser will be starved of oil and will be ruined if run...
