It may fit some models but you will have to look at your own and if it looks like mine it will probably fit. My car is a 2.2KV

4th & 5th have a very noisy bearing so over christmas holidays will be taking out the gearbox for a look.

The crucial thing is to remove the top engine mount (support via jack underneath) to get the large inlet manifold out. Also smear oil on the rubber injector seals and be ultra careful when replacing the inner manifold back on again. Good luck!

Yes it could well be. It's a fairly easy job to do and would future proof both water and oil leaks. Remember to but the full oil and water seal kit.

No, I ended up putting in a plastic joint I bought in Halfords which done the job.

Have you tried a cam or crank sensor?

​@garageofdad I havnt. Van is on 92k. Allegedly well serviced my issue is there's so many sensors I don't know which one is which. There is a sensor down beside the pressure pipe for turbo. Intact there's two. Really need a diagram so I know what I'm looking at and ordering. It's so weird the van runs just lovely. Until under load and it sluggish. I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure why it's like that under load. Had a new biturbo both of them at 70k. Thanks for the reply👍 also iam using a launch diagnostics tool so it does read everything. As for live data no clue what pressure fuel should be at or boost pressure. However boost pressure drops on live data when I stick my foot down. What a nightmare my van is lol

​@garageofdad even if you could tell me what you would maybe do next or check? I can have a look no problem. I've worked on loads of vehicles but my engine bay knowledge is limited. I can fit suspension radiators etc etc no problem. So this van has been a steep learning curve. And 1500 quid in tools to diagnose it myself after 4garages couldn't find the problem. I appreciate your reply.

@@GhostTrader37 Blimey! Forums are a place where I usually find answers but you have to do a lot of digging. My son's car had a similar problem and by pure chance we noticed a tiny hole in one of the vacuum pipes that connected to the turbo actuator. Replaced the pipe and solved the problem. Maybe worth a look. My old Audi also had a huge problem running and turned out to be a massive vacuum leak in it's old brake servo.

​@@garageofdadI have been on the vauxhall forums. Tried all they could suggest. I will hunt for vacuum leaks. I can hear the servo when I press the brake ignition turned off. But the brakes are fine. Just a noticeable sort of suction. Any tips to find splits in pipes other than just a visual inspection? I must add someone has tried to take the egr valve. Bolts are gone but the egr is stuck solid on the Inlet. It's the egr under coolant bottle on the 1.6 biturbo. To be honest my engine sounds a bit like this video. I hope injectors aren't an issue on mine. Everyone prey for me haha

One or two pointers:- Do you drive it hard - What mileage is the car - Does it smoke out the exhaust - Has it been tuned. May be an idea to get an emissions check. An actual MOT is the cheapest way to do this and ask for the test sheet. Other than that, get on the online forums and see if anyone else has encountered this.

@garageofdad no I drive around town a lot I drive in Eco pro all so it has like 100K on the clock the exhuast only smoke a little when it's cold start and then after 5 minuets of driving no smoke comes from the exhuast just hot air

@garageofdad tbh I think my best bet is to get the scanner plugged in but I have a feeling it's soemthing to do with my exhuast because it's not right but it needs looking at

@@3rdbanwavey121 Good idea 👍

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 👍
