Heating & Cooling / Thermostat housing for 1.3
Last post by Mooinstor -
Hello,

I've recently replaced the radiator on my car and while the system was drained I had a look at the thermostat housing and noticed the return hose from the air inlet was just a dummy port.

A while ago I got myself a second engine of the same engine code 2g and looking at the thermostat housing on this engine the air inlet ports are open.

The part in my car is a Febi "18248 8624" which from a quick search is a part for a 1g engine? and the part on the second engine is a HHK "030121117".

My question is, is the housing thats been on my car correct or should I swap it for the one on the second engine?


Thank you!

Technical / Re: PAS pulley out of alignment

Some pulleys had little (around 1m) spacers on to get the alignment correct.
I've used washers in the past to this effect.

See if spacing some of the pulleys will help.

Technical / PAS pulley out of alignment
Last post by james_nich -
Hi all. I just fitted a new water pump and am having some headaches getting the pulleys to align.

The water pump pulley seems fine but the PAS pulley is way out. I think two things have happened:

1. The previous water pump was fractionally closer to the pump, can see scoring in the cam belt plastic cover.
2. The PAS pulley was barely missing the others.

It looks like the PAS pulley needs a lot more offset. The current pulley is  027 145 255.



I fitted a febi water pump so dont think that's wildly out of alignment.

It could be that it has a mk3 PAS pump maybe? There were single washers spacing the PAS pulley on inspection.

Can i get a dished PAS pulley to create the offset i need?

Struggling to find what i need online.
