Uncorruptable

How do you prime the pump? and where is the bleed nipple likley to be?

Can you outline the steps needed to bleed please, any pictures would be a benefit, thanks.

Cheers, i will endeavour to change the filter this weekend, just in case i run into an issue, dont want to be out in garden for hours trying to get the car going again for work in the morning.

Coincidence, i had actually thought of clamping the hoses as close to the filter as possible on both sides before removing from the filter, i did think however that there would be inevitably a small amount of air on reconnection in the line, would this just pass through the injector pump on start up with a bit of a splutter?

Hi all, Been a while since i was on, looking for guidance on changing fuel filter on diesel felicia, 1998 - 1.9. Any pictures i would be greatful.

Could very well be, the anti freeze mix is weak as i have a very slight weep coming from where the pipe enters the head, so i can only keep topping the resevoir up with antifreeze every week or two to keep some in the system, could be as low as -5 with wind chill taken into account, will have to sort the leak & refill entire system.

Cheers, so not an easy get at part, sound like i will be lying on the ground getting increasingly colder & potentially frustrated, ahh the joy of motoring.

Heater works fine, that was what started to cool the engibne off for me, put heating on full which was very hot, then the pressure seemed to be released from the top hose when i checked it again, first time it was very pressurised, after i put the heating on, i could squeeze the top hose flat. can you show me where the stat is located? tell me where to look?

Hi all, Need a diagnosis, This morning when driving the engine temp started to climb high, i pulled in and put on the hazards, when i checked the hoses the top one off the rad was hot & very pressurised, the bottom one was only hot on the top, i opened the resevoir cap & released a gush of steam & a little water, i went back into the car & the temp was still high, i put the heating on full & it began to reduce temp a little, then it dropped fairly suddenly, when i checked in the engine again i was able to squeeze the top hose flat. Is this the thermostsat sticking shut?

replace sensor, roughly how much we looking at for that, is there any DIY round that?

New battery in it, it starts perfectly fine from cold, when it is hot it wont fire up, tuurns over but wont kick in until temp sensor is removed temporarily.

Hello all, The links above are dead, i have just gotten my felicia through its NCT (Equivilant to MOT in england), replaced 5th gear wheel, fixed linkage, replaced ball joints, replaced brakes, fixed boot closer, fixed horn & a few other littel bits. Now it wont start when hot, car was lying up for two years & when i put it back on the road a month ago it would start from hot, i have unconnected vaccum hoses in the engine i have posted aboput on another thread, is this the cause or is it to do with the fuel pump as touched on above? The car runs very smooth when on motorway, starts from cold etc., any ideas as i am having to unplug the temp sensor to get it started from hot & had to unplug it to get it through the car test.

would compressed air line tubing be sufficient?

Thats great, thanks, so i will connected this one to the white vaccumm in first pic at top of page, cheers.

Thanks, few bits and pieces around engine i want to tidy up & closing off what these are for will help.
