Fuel pump - how do i disconnect the injectors to test as described

Also how do I prevent the engine starting to check the starter

coolant temp sensor seems to show on torque app as described.

With regards to the injectors, how would I tell if there is fuel in the oil, I know that sounds stupid but cant help but think, when I checked the oil a couple of days ago, and wiped the dipstick on some tissue it seemed quite thin and had appeared to have a hint of green colour on the tissue. Not sure of its just be paranoid.

???

Where exactly would I fit this pipe and where would I obtain it from? What size etc? pictures of location if possible

Should be over 250. Poor amperage would cause a noticeably slow cranking speed.

So what would you do now if it was your car

 

[STU3Y]

Not really, no.

is that a no to rac checking seals or no seals wont be damaged by the deisel rhino additive?

The radio is synchronised via the can bus network. The only time it needs entering is when the immo system is adapted/reset and the can bus system assumes a new identity has been given to the vehicle.

The mk1 doesnt use a can bus system so it needs entering when ever it sees zero volts.

Excellent thanks.

Just for info today my battery reads 12.47. I read online that when it reaches less than 12.45 it is deemed too low and in need of charging

battery voltage and state of charge
12.66 - 100%
12.45 - 75%
12.24 - 50%
12.06 - 25%
11.89 - 0%

Its not confirmed yet so don't get too excited! And if it is I then need to figure out what caused it

How old is the battery? Batteries have a realistic life of about 3 years at a decent power.

 

[STU3Y]

Not sure to be honest can't see a date on it and haven't taken it out its cover yet.

Start the car up and see if the altarnator is charging it must be about 13v to 14 if it's charging, battery won't go unless there is nothing charging it up, re check again
