I was wondering if someone could tell what size of torx I need to remove the idle air control valve sensor housing? It looks like a 5 sided torx screw.
Bought this F70the other week its latest in a succession of these cars,
(I quite like them)
this one was a trade in and probably as it had accumulated a few problems the owner decided to buy something newer.
Amongst the little problems it turned up:
o/s/f half shaft oil leak
coolant blockage,
This K3-VET engine had an unknown rattle, not heard it running but assume its the timing chain?
Few pics showing the various parts, note pic4 with the screwdriver showing some chain slack.
Hi all.
I am trying to troubleshoot gunk in my charade's oil filler cap. I have been cleaning out the cap for a couple of years now every few weeks so it's not a huge build up, but I would like to get to the bottom of it. The coolant level is stable so I presume coolant is not leaking into the engine. There is never any gunk on the oil dipstick.
Where might the problem lie?
Just had a new stainless system fitted - very nice. BUT 1 week on and my engine management light has just come on! Still seems to be running fine, but I wondered if it was because I asked them to leave the middle silencer out, so it jut has the back box (sounds really nice on the over-run, and not too much louder in normal use, just a slightly louder burble). Any ideas?
My car is vibrating on idle and also vibrates when I go faster than 120km/h. I did balance the wheels but didn't help, what else could it be? CV, mountings...?
SPEEDO/TRIPS INOP, ABS /BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT ABS WORKS. COLD ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING,BUT CAR RUNS FINE, IF YOUDROVE WITH YOUR LEYES SHUT YOU WOULD THINK ALL OKAY!!!!
ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT ON.
CAR WAS LEFT WITH VERY FLAT BATTERY.
CHECKED ALL FUSES, CONNECTORS FOR W/INGRESS/EARTHS ETC.
REALLY NEED WIRING DIAGRAM, AS RETIRED MECH.
good day. my boot will not open with either the boot release lever or the key. anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this as im not that mechanically minded myself.cheers
