Oh dear! I usually hone in on a blow with a pipe on my ear. Not recommended but always serves me well. If it was on the inlet side, the car won't run well. If it's on the exhaust side, it will still run well but be noisy. Good luck with the car.

You're right!! I finished it off but it was so wet, a lot of the footage was no good :(

The main belt was fitted a tooth out. But these supper from inlet manifold problems and carbon build up on the inlet valves. Try some Redex or fuel treatment first

@ thank you for your answer! I try to clean my throttle body first and see what happen

Not quite sure what you mean but the abs usually fails because the sensors are dirty or the cable is broken

​@@garageofdadHello, I mean, if there is a leak of antifreeze fluid through a hose in the circuit, could the ABS brake system fail, taking into account that the sensors are fine? thank you so much

@@tibireal2453 I suppose, if it comes into contact with bare wires, it will corrode them. Spray WD40 onto all wires and connectors and see if it makes a difference.

​@@garageofdad ok, thank you .

2015 1.6 biturbo won't rev over 2k under load. I have a bcm fault and some others. One is a igntion- switched power relay short to ground

I know that it'll connect with some models and not others. You may have to deep search on forums to find the answer or if someone else on here knows.

I'm no expert just a guy doing what he can with the tools that I've got!! 😄

To relieve the pressure I gradually released the pipe that goes into the high pressure fuel pump. Steve Edwards in the A2 owners facebook group has the injectors in stock. Here's a link to the O-rings I bought and the injector number that was on mine. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276057470892

Yes spoke to the chap who sorted the K-jetronic and said in the UK it wasn't really necessary on my car.

@@garageofdad Well if you ever want to remove it drop me a note, I'll buy the manifold and flexy pipe off of you!

It needed a de-coke but it also had a faulty injector which I replaced and is running fine now 👍

Along with a few parts including a secondhand metering unit, all in it was just over £900 But well worth it and now runs perfect.

@@garageofdadworth it to get the car right. It all adds up quick.

@@stephenhughes7032 Spent way too much on it (way more than it's worth) but it's a keeper and happy to do that.

Yes they'd do the job 👍

@@garageofdad what did you use to get the extra height?

@@richiewilson-k6t I initially used loads of washers but swapped them for a spacer made out of block aluminium from a friend who works at an engineering company. Drilled holes through and bought longer bolts.

@@garageofdad that’s great thanks last question lol where did you get the bolts?

@@richiewilson-k6t My son works at a really good metal engineers and they have a huge stock of nuts and bolts. But if you look on ebay you can get them there. Here's an example - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325090168295?_skw=75mm+m10+allen+head+bolts&itmmeta=01J9VZQ1CGSJ76J1Y3X9MFDHYM&hash=item4bb0e24de7%3Ag%3AlvYAAOSwB1ViIi8k&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnAgV7jD5EcyUtjOum594MJq99jl9d2gnKy1%2B4lwJ0Tv0GwibdjhgbKZzh%2FHRYHR9H1GRfK6QfgNauQkkzLJBRX5rD650ZRbYcODiO4gsJO3G5lH%2FpKsRSTEXJOAi5t6XlEitRa97EjTuEsSzF0%2F8lsvcdFujnq6ugoFJZjLlrZZymCc3v845istRqNrJdVDO2yugmlhMMXVIXxAwSFyEUug7zk%2F1y9WwZNwGPoeXQ0TGZy%2BWeMwSlRBMoZf8BbLS5i2LAwshZDKK22QHzZVswtLNZ%2BjAgXL7UEer1qq%2B3nfg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6qW3P_OZA&var=514011425646

That's a new one to me! Could be something simple like the MAF sensor. Check that all the sensor plugs and vacuum lines are ok. The best thing is to get VAG-Com onto it and see what codes ping up. The FSi's do rattle for about 2 seconds when cold (like a tractor) but should idle fine after that.

Thank you for your reply have been watching on your videos for quite a while the other bit that makes it confusing as when it's warmed up no problems but if I left her overnight and the sun had been out first thing in the morning I will be able to fire the car over normally without it doing anything and it will run perfectly... I was told that possibly it might be something to do with the oil sensor in the sump.... do need to definitely get a decent code reader on this

Yes, I'm 6ft ans was ok. I measured it out on my workshop floor with boxes either end to try it first as I like the duvet tucked round my feet!!

Great thanks. Hope you get it fixed 👍

Great comment thanks 👍

Great thanks 👍

My KV had both engine mounts separate the rubber from the metal bowls that sit in, don’t discount that Easy/cheap fix from underneath

Yes my thought entirely. I've ordered the correct size of sump plug key and will have a look at the oil when it arrives. TBH I always had an inkling the box wasn't right just never had the opportunity to drive it any further than the drive to find out - Keep watching and thanks for the comment.

It's not but if you take your time and get a helping hand, it is achievable.

I've come this far and am going to see it though 😀

Yes, going to do that very thing. I was hoping it was going to be OK but like everything else, I've had to replace them because it stood for so long.

Spoke to the original owner and the box has never been apart from the engine. I'm going to jack it right up in the air and check them then. They are the originals and will replace them if I remove the box.

You have to remove the rubber scuttle/bonnet trim then prise up the plastic trim and there are 2 Torx screws underneath it holding the top of the cowel on plus 3 10mm nuts holding it onto the bulkhead. Hope that's the part you are on about? (air intake for the heater unit)

​@@garageofdadthanks I've got same probs

1.6 fsi misfire

@@stevenharker9260 Oh no! Hope it's just the coils but may be an Injector.

​@@garageofdadno its not those next its timing and compression test

Hi. I just use a freebie called Car Scanner (it has a blue engine as an icon) on my iPad. I connect using the iCarPro OBD2 blue tooth connector.

Thanks 👍

Oh dear! Threw many tints in the bin over the years too!

Thank you

It's sticking on the nylon bush. I had to remove mine and sand it down a little with some emery paper then refit with some nylon lubricant

​@@garageofdadI had that piece completely removed and the tower still isn't bouncing up nice and freely. I'm thinking I may have to remove the tower and fit a new bearing.

@@Kyle900t That may be the case :(

Mine didn't have sensors in the seat bases just seat belt connectors/triggers that bolted straight on to the TT seats from the Vivaro/Trafic
