Enginuity - Acton W3
A big thank you to the team at Enginuity for working their way through my "snagging list".
Oil Leak:
- Replaced the oil seal on the timing cover, the main culprit for leaking oil all over the place.
- The timing chain tensioner was also replaced while they were in there, as that was knackered too.
No Heater:
- I'd supplied the new thermostat I previously bought based on the heater problem suggestions on here.
- Turns out the old one was indeed stuffed and the entire manifold tube also needed to be unblocked.
- So although I forgot to test it on the way home, apparently I now have a working heater!
Engine occasionally running on after switching the ignition off:
- This was due to parts of the engine overheating due to the blocked cooling system.
- So two problems fixed for the price of one.
Overdrive on the blink:
- A new gear level overdrive switch and new switch wiring has resolved this.
- As I did remember to test this on the way home and it is all working well.
Occasional clutch failure:
- Every now and then, there would be 'nothing' when I tried to pull away.
- Turns out this problem was also connected to the dodgy overdrive wiring.
High Idle:
- The car has started to tick over around 1,750 revs.
- Once everything else has been sorted out, the idle was reset around the 800 mark.
With dark clouds overhead and the odd drop of rain falling I had to head straight home.
So if I get the chance, I will try to take the car out for a longer spin at some point.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
"What a lovely pair."
