Few questions now engine is almost re-fitted

[Anonymous]

Right, engine is back in and almost everything is plumbed back in.

Just got a couple of stragglers which I cand see where they go.

Sorry about the descriptions, but I did take photo's on my phone, however I cannot find the data cable.

1: Behind drivers headlight there is a black plastic pipe which comes from a canister which sits below the headlight & is behind the wheel arch liner. The pipe follows the aircon pipes towards the brake reservoir.......what is it and where does it go?

2: Breather pipe on throttle body (long skinny rubber pipe), where does the other end go?

3: Sensor on the end of gearbox (one green plug attaches too). What is it? Mine seems to of broken off. Anyone got one they can send me asap?

4: Breather nipple on the rear of the plenum near the coil pack, what goes there?

5: Brace that goes between the dog bone and the gearbox, does anyone have a picture of it?

6: Anyone know an MOT station within 2hrs of Cambridge who deal with tuned cars and will MOT my car with a decat fitted? PM may be best for this incase anyone from VOSA are reading here.

Hoping to have her back up and running by this evening.fingers crossed

Cheers

1. Carbon canister - goes to nipple (pt 4) which sits at the back of the plenum

2. For the acoustic valve I believe

I guess that gives you a couple of things to work with for now!

under the plenham, it plugs into the oil breather plate, its a push fit.

2: Breather pipe on throttle body (long skinny rubber pipe), where does the other end go?

on the mrk2 im sure this links to the acoustic valve

3: Sensor on the end of gearbox (one green plug attaches too). What is it? Mine seems to of broken off. Anyone got one they can send me asap?

reverse sensor for rear lights, if you have broke it, dont fill the gear box oil yet. as you will need to remove it and replace the sensor

4: Breather nipple on the rear of the plenum near the coil pack, what goes there?

brake vac pipe for the servo assist, just pushes on, if when you re fit and its loose, then nip it up with a stainless lie or tiny jubilee clip. the brakes will feel soft if it is loose!

5: Brace that goes between the dog bone and the gearbox, does anyone have a picture of it?

? brace? the mrk2 just bolts on, unless you have a mrk1 setup fitted (kinda black box section)

6: Anyone know an MOT station within 2hrs of Cambridge who deal with tuned cars and will MOT my car with a decat fitted? PM may be best for this incase anyone from VOSA are reading here.

dude speak to Ben

Ben I bet Pt4 is for the CC

 

[ben_p]

Ben I bet Pt4 is for the CC

na its defo brake vac, its a brass looking ribbed (for 2/3s of the fitting anyway) nipple about a inch long?

 

[ben_p]

to the right of the coilpack plate

 

[mattjk]

This baby is for the CC

To be fair it could be either well have to wait and see!

 

[ben_p]

hands up! i dont know what that is! wtf! im a mrk1 172 kid lol

i think its what you said then!

what does that do for the CC? jsut a vacume?

 

[mattjk]

Its where it vents the fuel vapours to from the CC (i think!!!)

Well mine doesnt but it did lol

Cheeky edit there ben. Does the Mk1 not have a CC then?

 

[ben_p]

yea, but the vapours filter into the pipe that sits under the plenham,

the 182 had a differnt breather setup, as the top crank breather is blocked, this maybe smokeys problem.

as iirc this is a 182 engine he is fitting? so the pipe from the 172 would of gone to the crank breather on the cam cover, if that is not there on a 182 and is now tapped into the plenham then that pipe needs to be blocked off or extended to the new vac entry

which is a problem, as the 172 one is about 1/2inch wide, and that one looks about 2mm! lol

 

[ben_p]

unless the 182 still uses the large track on the oil sep plate but just blocks the mail breather into the plenham. and the other hole is a extra one? so it has two now?

 

[mattjk]

I'm well and truely lost now lol :S haha

Cheers for your help boys, will have to get some pics up this afternoon.

You are correct ben it is the 182 engine I am fitting.

At the back of the plenum there is this nipple (pt4) and there was also a black bit of pipeing about 2" long. This 2nd bit of piping I fitted the black plastic hose which comes from the bulkhead......is this right?
The nipple in pt4 is about 2" to the left of this pipe/hose.

Where is the acoustic valve?

 

[Anonymous]

Ben, if I sms you the pics from my phone, can you upload them to for me?

Or anyone for that matter if I sms them to you.

 

[ben_p]

which one 1 or 2?

yes! thats the brake vac pipe! that one is correct! which leaves this smaller one! which must be a Carbon canister vent! block it off!

Pt1

Pt2

Pt3

Pt4

Pt5

Pt6

Sorted:approve:

 

[Anonymous]

Pt1 - Under plenum?

Pt2 - Where is the acoustic valve that this fits into?

Pt3 - CAS have one on the shelf for £21

Pt4 - As per Matt's post with a folded over piece of hose?

Pt5 - I may of been a numpty! At the same time as fitting this engine I was also removing my Williams engine in the bay next to it, wondering if I got this bit off of the Willy and not the 172......hmmmmmmmmmmmm


I also forgot to add a Pt6

Pt6 Can anybody help me with this little lot of huge fuses and connectors

She's almost good to go

 

[ben_p]

still got the 172 engine?

 

[Anonymous]

Yes mate, sat next to the car

 

[ben_p]

kk look at the pipe under the plenham that pt1 plugs into,

is it there on the 182 block too?

 

[Anonymous]

No I dont think so mate, I had a look and should be able to see it without removing the plenum.

It goes to a canister in the front drivers wheel arch, is this needed? I removed the acoustic valve from the other side and just put a screw in the pipe.

 

[BenR]

pt4 is where pt1 is mean to connect too on a 182, on a 172 it goes to the breather baffle under the plenum.

Is it needed Ben or can I just rip it all out?

Pt4 now has 2" of pipe with a 1" screw inside lol

Does this look right to you Ben? The white, green, black and red fuse holders in the right places with the right fuses?
