Aqua Valver..Project for someone else?!

Recommended Posts

This is what im doing right now...also I got a week off work so I should get some more stuff done to

 

after being pulled over by the police eventually, for my Us plate. Im going back to original OEM

as normal the bits are snapped so I tried a few ideas, the one Im going with is plastic welding these plastic screws I found at halfords

 

had to fill the hole again as I got a delocked boot, which still works amazingly

Also I'm investigating my heater controls, still not sure whats going on there, Ive managed to break a bit on them so I have to leave it on the screen position which isnt a bad thing

not done much as I wanted on this :( spotted a tone of rust on the crossmember and rad support, they've gone but time ran out last night. I also got a bunch of bad rust under the battery. I was lucky and somebody offered to weld it up for me :D WIth the front end off I'll get the replacement wing on and I'll be happy, In that time I should have all my new wheels polished up.. ftw :lol: And hopefully a fresh MOT

also I noticed a little gunk here, without taking the manifolds off I dont seem to be able to take the top of the 3 allen head bolts.. From looking at the pic below is it something to worry about? Im changing the rad also because I think its leaking

I changed the water flange (black plastic part in your last pic) on my car this week. The top bolt can be accessed by using a ball end allen key without taking the manifold off. I'd change that water flange as it looks worse than mine and it was leaking too - it had an almost invisble crack in it, not surprising since it starts to disintegrate from the inside. I'll get a photo up when I get chance.

My rad support is nearing that :( just havent had the time to sort it yet....or find a suitable replacement part. It is easy to remove....obviously the front end has to come off...

Ive had the front off a few times now its fairly straight forward. I got it down now, gotta make sure you jack the engine up.

 

I tried to use a ball end on a allen key but Its on very tight and I think it rounded a bit :gag:

 

I bought a replacement rad support but its off an early car which has no PAS cooling pipe so I will need to modify it a bit
