New van, 1y 1.9 with a turbo fitted, water hose split, dumped water, didn't catch it in time cooked the engine. Have very limited time so looking to do the simplest engine swap possible (I've done a 1.6 1y to 1.9 1y non turbo in precious van so would like to do a similar swap on this new van) if I c...

For what it's worth, I've just taken delivery of this poo plate from brickwerks I'm sticking a 1.9 1y back in my van with a 4 speed manual and this (2 part) poo plate fits perfectly and is a welcome area of shine\y in an otherwise grubby area!

As is usual for a t25 owner I have been having problems with my starter sometimes it will... sometimes it won't... yadder yadder... today I had a poke around with the meter deciding that I was going to sort things once and for all and it was then that i found out that EVERYTHING on the van is powere...

Awesome!! been struggling for ages then found this

Thanks for the beautifully clear description.

So there I was happy as Larry heading down the m4 at 70mph when there was a scraping noise followed by a bang. I looked in the rear view mirror to see my silencer skating down the road and then bouncing end over end just before disappearing under the wheels of an artic. Luckily no one was hurt and m...

would that just mean connecting the red/yellow wire to the "drawing pin" connector on the old housing?

Hello, Before I get flamed... I've been trawling the forum and wiki since 8 o'clock this morning trying to work out how to get my temp gauge to work. I've shorted the red and yellow wire and that seems to be all in order, gauge rises to the top... The LED flashes and then turns off so I'm working on...

Aha! removing the engine mount! that'd do it... however I managed to find a third way. Managed to get the stuck 6mm allen bolt out when I noticed that hex bits (like from a cordless screwdriver etc.) are ever so slightly bigger than 6mm... so I managed to Hammer in a 1/2 inch drive to hex bit adpate...

I like the hammering idea

Should have thought of that!

Will give that a go

Sometimes when you've been swearing at something for a long time you lose focus!

So, with loads of help from the good folk on this forum I have undertaken my first full engine transplant (the first of many I've got a feeling!) I dropped out the 1.61y NA lump and replaced it with a 1y 1.9 out of a seat IBIZA, swapped all the necessary bits over and jobs a good 'un. Trouble is (we...

Thanks for the suggestion. I am a good citizen of the internets and I usually spend an hour or two scouring the forums and wiki's before I resort to posting a question. I couldn't find anything in the Wiki specific to the injector pump linkage assembly on a 1y engine or anything related. I'm hoping ...

Cheers for the reply.

I don't want to use the Seat linkage as it is too high and would involve chopping a whole in the engine lid. What I'd like to do it move the linkage from the old engine onto the new one, however I have made it very difficult for myself and was looking for a little guidance...

1.9 1y Alright the title isn't strictly true but... I'm just finishing sticking (installing!) a 1.9 1y out of a seat ibiza into my van, only thing needed is to change the throttle linkage on the injector pump The one on the ibiza engine what looks like a gas strut attached to it. and as a double spr...

Hello twin sliders, I've also been contemplating what to do with the back of my van. I've still got bulkhead in, have you seen (or got) any good ideas on twin slider camper/dayvan layouts? I'm just getting to the end of getting mine reengined and mot'd now I've got to start thinking about making it ...
