I forgot to mention - the fuel gauge does work.

Are the fuel gauge and temp gauge connected somehow? Through the PCB?

Hello all. Thanks for the amazing replies. I hope everyone has had a great Christmas - I've been away for a bit and not had access to a computer to come on here. I tried a new thermostat again to no avail, but then after reading somewhere (I forget where) I tried drilling a small hole in the metal r...

You can turn the pulley on the pump by hand which turns the impeller (saw it turing through the hole for the thermostat housing).

The aux belt is tensioned from the alternator, pulled it as much up as I could and tightened the bolt.

Thanks

Matt

Thanks for replying - I've just taken the van for a short drive. The temp needle got to 3/4 on the gauge, the rad was still stone cold, the thermostat hadn't opened. No air was coming out of the rad bleed screw, just coolant Using the IR thermometer, the head was max 108 degrees but yet a lot colder...

Hi Smcknighty, Thanks for replying - The gauge sits on the LED, at the right hand side. I think this is normal, however it used to sit on the LED, at the left. It gets to midway roughly after 20 mins idling. The pump is about a year old, seems to work fine - the impeller spins with the pulley and th...

Hi all - I have a 1.6 CS diesel and am in need of a little help! I have replaced the thermostat - the temp was originally getting a little hot early on in journeys, before returning to normal. I thought the thermostat could be sticking. I've been bleeding the system as per the brickyard method, but ...

Hello, I hope everyone's had a nice Christmas! 1.6 diesel CS engine I have a bit of an issue with the flashing LED for the coolant level/temp, as many other people have it seems! It appears a bit different to other threads I've read, as the light doesn't appear to flash when the coolant level is low...

Bit of a late reply!

Thanks very much for the information - it's greatly appreciated.

Here's to some heat in the winter!

Thanks

Hello :) I will soon be fitting a D2 eberspacher in to my 1.6 CS diesel van. I have seen people fit a T-piece after the van's fuel filter for the heater fuel supply, but some people have said this can cause problems if running both the van and heater at the same time. Has anyone had any experience w...

I was a bit silly there and got confused - sorry about that!

It would be number 3 on the diagram

Matt

Hi, thanks for the replies. The van is a 1986

I can't seem to see the hose on the diagram - could this mean it's a later hose and potentially available from a motor factors?

Thanks

Matt

Hello I have a 1.6 diesel "CS" and I'm on the hunt for a replacement coolant hose but can't seem to find the correct one - It connects from the bottom of the engine to the returning front to rear hose, with a branch off to the oil cooler. Would anyone have a part number or an idea of where...

Thank you for the pictures! They are very helpful. 1664, the link you posted is very useful, thank you. I think I stumbled on it a while back but never put two and two together! Reading it, there were two filler points, depending on the conversion. One inside and one outside. I don't think mine had ...

Hello. Hope everyone is well! I've posted one or two things before but not actually introduced myself or ourselves. We are Matt and Danni and have not had our 1986 1.6 CS Diesel T25 long but are thoroughly enjoying it! The van is a Holdsworth Villa 3 conversion with an underslung fresh water tank. T...

We will have to hope and just see what happens! I had it thoroughly checked over and serviced by a reputable mechanic. The previous owner was my previous neighbour before I moved away, so I can speak to him about it, see if he ever knew anything of it. In the mean time on with the flushing! Can you ...
