  1. A failing coilpack is the most likely culprit for the engine dropping onto three cylinders and losing power but there will be logged DTC's and these will need to be read to confirm any diagnosis.
  2. Copart deals in stolen recovered and finance repossessions as well as accident damaged vehicles.
  3. As long as the bores are ok then glazebusting them and replacing the pistons and rings should fix it.
  4. Blowing past the pistons and out through the exhaust valves, then the turbo, then the cat. Proper ruined.
  5. If you used a Helicoil type thread insert then you can tighten it to original spec.
  6. That's a LOT of oil fouling, strongly suspect it's from piston blowby.
  7. Yes, it's a metric fitting, just reflare the existing pipe after you've attached a new fitting.
  8. Any of your solutions will work, do whatever is easiest.
  9. The balance of probability didn't include the fuse for some reason. Still all's well that ends well.
  10. I'm going to be brutally honest here @Yaseen97, the questions you're asking suggest to me that you don't have the facilities, the tools or the talent to remove and rebuild a complex high performance engine like the 1.4 twincharger unit, it's not something you can do on the drive outside the house!
  11. These are OE quality: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123658930308?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mOcu-M9kQhS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=_BlMq7ebT3O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Unlike those fake Chinese sh1tters in your link!
  12. Kolbenschmidt pistons are ok, but they're about £90 each with rings, you need to get the head off first so you can inspect the bores otherwise you might find you need to order oversized pistons to suit a rebore.
  13. Christ, a simple fuse failure, like wot I must've recommended a hundred times!
  14. Buy a new one and bolt it in.
  15. If it's from a related model it should work, suggest you remove yours first then you can compare and contrast for physical fitting.
  16. The PAS pump has it's own ECU, it's completely self-contained and relies only on an angle sensor and a good source of power.
  17. No it wasn't, but engine is irrelevant because they're all electric pumps and AFAIK they're basically all the same.
  18. No coding needed, I can't help you with the part number since I bought a secondhand unit when mine failed.
  19. Are you ignoring me DELIBERATELY?
  20. The default attitude to faults is generally that it must be something quick and easy or cheap to fix, this error is then compounded by soliciting confirmation bias online, most contributors are only too happy to support this flawed reasoning. I don't know why, but people generally make problems worse with bad decisions not based on the balance of probability, but based on optimism. So dumb.
  21. Please don't post the same thing twice, your other thread has a reply.
  22. Yes it's the pump failing I'm afraid.
  23. A pump problem is EXACTLY what it is, Christ knows why you think the opposite but it can't be the battery because the voltage is lower when cold and the angle sensor won't be affected by temperature which only leaves the pump unit.
  24. Can you thrifty Scots stop rubbing it in, he's paid the bill now and knows he got raped, no more input needed. I'm sure the work has been performed to a very high standard using top quality parts.
