I had a look at this because it's an item I check every few years as I've always thought that oil pump drive is a poor bit of engineering. Mine's an AEF engine, but I'm assuming that all the 1.9diesel engines use the same oil pump and vacuum pump, and the Brickwerks website seems to confirm this . T...

If it is anything like the 5-cyl, early ones used a trapezoidal tooth profile and later used a (quieter) half-round/sinusoidal tooth form. They are different lengths and you need the matching coolant pump/tensioner. The 1Y setup is very different... Water pump is run off the aux belt, not the cam b...

For the ribbed belt, you could cut the old one and measure its length. The belt you need will be an X PK Y where X is the number of ribs and Y is it's length in mm. For the cam belt kit, you can look up the list of vehicles fitted with a 1Y engine, and order the kit for one of those. Any motor parts...

Is this the cam belt or auxiliaries belt (or both) that you want to change?

I had a PD engine with blown ECU to sort out a few years ago. I bought a good ECU off eBay, and an EPROM reader/writer. I read the old ECU EPROM, then wrote the contents into the replacement EPROM. This overcame the immobiliser problem and the vehicle has been OK ever since. The original problem had...

Hooray!
Pictures are back.

My apologies for the temporary loss of pictures from this, and my other threads. Normal service should be resumed just as soon as I can get my backup uploaded to the website. Might take a few days.....

You will get a few drops of fuel at each injector pipe every two revs of the engine.

The amount of fuel that comes out depends on how much you press the accelerator . Even then don't expect a flood of fuel. It's only a small engine!

Did you press the accelerator right down while you were cranking and observing? Obviously not much fuel will be pumped if you don't.

If the engine won't start, the symptoms do seem to indicate some serious damage like head gasket failure.  I have a CS 1.6NA diesel engine here, which is for sale. It's a Vege recon which has done approx 20K miles and was working fine when I removed it to upgrade to a 1.9 engine. It has a slight oil...

Wow, that is some robust repair! Encouraging and demoralising - what levels of evil rustiness lurk within our voids that we pretend are not there?? And yet a great step by step real world ‘story’ - many thanks for posting your second side’s work. Regarding your posting of photos - are they uploaded...

Right.....I've got the pictures uploaded to my old website, by kind permission of the new keeper.... After repairing the left rear jacking point, I had a poke around inside the cills with my boroscope, and could see corrosion around the right side one as well. Nothing showing from outside, except an...

Reading this with real interest @colinthefox, thanks for your original post on this repair. I hope there's a photo posting solution that lets you upload the second repair, as there's hopefully a few extra tips based on your experience. I'm a bit of a body repair novice and will need to tackle this ...
