What is this engine bay missing?

[chalky]

What's this engine bay missing please?

The brakes are non existant on the car btw - is this lack of something the cause?

The two wires come off that main loom and go nowhere

There's also a pulley with nothing on it

Any help appreciated.

[MartinR]

What in particular please?

I've been given the car as it is from someone who owed me some money.

It does start and drive. Thanks

Alternator for a start lol.

Judging by the lack of parts in the engine bay the brakes are none existent because they are missing to!

just an alternator, and the bolts to attach it, and the belt to drive it missing

2.0L..

Owed you money so they gave you their car?

Drug deal gone sour? Lol

Alternator is at the back of the engine lads

There is two seperate belts....

Your power steering belt is gone though....

 

[Kelv]

Surely it can't be driven that far, brakes working or not.... Your water pump won't be working!!

 

[Eddie.]

I despair.

Sarcasm?

Yep alternator is missing

You can see in this pic

The bottom bracket is there - the top bracket is there - the big power cable with the O-ring on the end is the mains feed from the alternator - and the wires going nowhere also should go to the alternator

You need the bottom bolt, to bolt, alternator, belt etc...

But as said that same belt runs the water pump so if you drive it much it will overheat and the head gasket will go bang pretty quickly

You wouldn't have a PAS pump as it's electric on those cars

I guess the alternator packed up, the guy took it off to replace it and then gave you the car

redesign for the irish market?

all I have to say really, is SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Dan519]

water pump is cambelt driven. it's a 1.2.

WOW people need out stop giving out "facts"

 

[172lover]

Sarcasm?

No no!!

The two ph1 1.2's I worked on both had the alternator at the back of the engine!
​some renault 19's also had this setup!

Edit....
​
Lol @ Danny...
I'll get you a picture later

Fair enough, I've never seen one with that setup. Pics

Simple enough way to find out, does the charge warning light come on? He says it drives fine so presume not which means alternator is present???

Is that just an idler pulley visible then?

The alternator is 100% definitely missing - you can see the big o-ring charger cable hanging down in the pic lol

 

[Cup_Phil]

Here is how it should look

Looking at the pics again Danny is definitely right, that big pulley is actually your crank pulley by the looks of it.
Angles of the original shot made it look weird

You can see on that pic where the hose goes to the water pump - so it looks like you're just missing the alternator and an alternator belt

Brilliant thanks for the help from the useful people, I'll grab one this weekend. By runs, I meant it ran fine when I took it off the lorry and stuck it in the yard.

On the hunt for an alternator, belt and brackets this weekend then!

 

[chalky]

There seems to be a few different alternators...

Does Air Con make a difference? Or is it just 8V and 16V difference?

Cheers
