No, you take the plugs out!!

I've used this method a few times to ascertain if an injector is working.

Albeit not on a T5 engine, but its a good method! :)

Turn the engine over at the crank by hand with ignition on, listen for fuel being injected into chamber. If no fuel being injected, is it not the crank position sensor that controls this?

yeah, i got it now, thanks very much bud.

Hi guys, just fitted my new tensioners and belt, im 99% certain its on the right way, but i need someone to please, verify this for me, before i fire her up.

Wow! That gif in your avatar, health and safety? what health and safety?

Nightbreakers give very good light output for standard light housings, ideally, you need projector lenses for xenons otherwise its a waste of money and you will be getting flashed every 5 mins when...

Any updates, looks like good work.

I suppose Gates belts are one of the best, Some of these genuine parts are not genuine, just "approved" -

Did you change the tensioner pulleys or tensioner housing?

Eurocarparts, advertise it as a Dayco belt, but the part number in the info bar below, comes back as a Guangdong Contitech poly belt for a Volvo. £19 for that, are they for real? I remember i...

Thanks for that info, My nearest Volvo dealer is a 40 mile round trip unfortunately, I do find it strange though, that Volvo do an Auxiliary belt kit, with just one tensioner pulley on the tensioner...

Cant seem to change the thread title and dont want to spam with another thread.

Had it all apart today (in the snow) - My idler pulley is shot, thats what the noise is, I have done a video of it....

Ive never seen green atf/steering fluid before, anyhow, i think your mechanic needs to see a doctor asap.

Yes, I checked the fluid level, it is fine, what i will do is remove the serpentine belt and check the pulley by hand, see if it is the bearing, If it spins smoothly, I may do a fluid flush, The...

You just reminded me of a car i bought a few years ago from Bristol Redbrick, An old C220CDI, bought it off Ian Holloways cousin, who by the way was pretty much his double, voice and looks wise. That...

Heya Redbrick, thanks for that, I held it at 2krpm for the last few mins or so to finally get the needle to where it was at. I suppose as long as it doesnt go any further on the gauge then its...

Thanks Stephen, I took the pic dead on angle wise, Nice S60 in your sig, no colour coded mirrors?

Evening all, Sorry for doing two threads, I need a power steering pump for my 04 D5 163hp - Now theres some on ebay but theres really no way of knowing whether they are good or not, until you fit it....

Evening folks, gone and bought a cheap S60 D5, seems alright, clutch is good, engine is strong, just a few bits needed doing to it.

IE: Power steering pump changing/reconditioning & a general...

Thanks for the offer but its a little far to drive is Kent, thanks though :)

8-10 degrees near Southport coast tonight, some mist too, Car ran superb, nearly locked horns with an old, white 850 T5 at Tesco near Formby but he went the other way.. Can anybody diagnose without...

LOL, just been to Carr Mill Dam to watch the powerboats, damn car is back to its usual self, yes, the V8 is appealing, probably get better MPG also..

All boost lines/pipes are sealed and VAC lines replaced with silicone.

I did try to get the intercooler off but realised I had to disconnect the aircon piping etc so left it, I can't see any...

I'll reswap the IAT sensor only and give it some time/miles to adapt.

Sorry for separate replays guys, on a tablet here, can't seem to do it.

Thanks all.

It was a genuine bosch , same part numbers, from acidicdavey on the other forum, he seemed a genuine bloke and guaranteed it was a good maf, it actually ran worse with the donor maf.

Obd2 reader gives no codes but if I clear the empty list of codes the car resets itself and idles terribly for a few mins then settles back to normal, strange.

Air con is always off.

The wiring...
