Your wiring has been chopped about. The domestic sparky earth tape is a cause for concern, along with the pre-insulated connector. Its all in the Haynes manual "Book of Lies" if you haven't got access to a Bentley Vanagon manual. The wiring is me reconnecting the wires from the bulb at th...

Anyone able to tell me what this pink spare wire is from. It's a thinner cable than the one that actually goes to the plug.

Hi all.

Have looked but cant seem to find an answer. Recently replaced the head on mum's 1.6CS. Putting timing belt back on but needing the torque specs for the camshaft bolt.

Any help appreciated.

Me again I'm afraid. 1984 1.6cs LHD T25 1 I have a brown looped wire from what I guess is hazard red light bulb(inside switch) going to nothing on my hazard switch wiring. Is this an earth? 2nd is a live pink looped wire(constant live) also going to nothing. Should this be leading to anything. Thank...

Have you checked the trigger wire for corrosion? Always a favourite, although I note you have said all the wiring has been done. This wire was cut back as the connector and so much of the cable was green corroded. Wires that have been replaced was the earth from battery to block and the main live t...

It goes straight to the ignitin switch. But if the starter clicks it would suggest a sigal is getting there. Not sure if a low voltage would not fully close the contacts. A quick test would be to touch your new wire to a battery +ve. If the engine turns every time the fault is confirmed. Make sure ...

Hi. Hoping someone can help. Mum's van has for the 11 years of ownership had a starting issue that i finallywant to resolve. It's a 1984 1.6cs. Everything has been replaced from engine to starter, wiring at back etc. Most of the time you hear a click but no turning of the engine. I believe there's a...

Does anyone have a guide how to prime a new pump, everything is back together but need to prime it, never done it before and cant seem to find and guides.

Hi looking for some advice, did search but all seems to be for turbos, recently managed to finally sort all the oil and cooling leaks so engine is in its best health since we got it. Fitted a new timing belt and tensioner as well. The problem seems to be on start up a puff of white smoke and when th...

\hey sorry its the 1.6cs, engine is still in place, just wanting to know if im going clockwise or anticlockwise to crack the bolt off, new bolt been ordered from brickwerks


Cheers

Ive stripped everything down ready to change this bar the crank pulley, is it a left hand or right hand turning bolt? Have checked but couldnt find anything

Cheers

By hand but forcing it in as far as I can manage.

Sorry I should have said, its extremely hard to remove, can be done by hand but its a right good pull for it to come out, the washer and o-ring are from brickwerks so I know there 100% the correct size.

Fitted a new seal and washer to our 1.6 diesel (sure i have them right way as per pics) but it still seems to leak from this area, removed the dipstick tube and it looks like part of it is missing, looking to see if im right? http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt51/ej6coupe/2015-04-05%2013.55.36_zps...

Van colour unless under sealed then usually black.
