like above, i plan to change this anyway but is there actually any way to test if water pump is bad?

If it's not leaking, check for end float and general bearing condition by rotating and also the condition of the fins.

cheers Funkysi,

 

by the way what does the float look like? also can i test its leaking without engine on? etc turning quite fast?

 

ill have a ponder over the weekend as this skip is here and the garage is clearn ready for me to reverse car into garage and start work.

'End float' is how much lateral play there is in the bearing.

i most certainly am pedro!

 

although looking at my old posts i have just remembered something...........

 

garage told me my DET sensor is broken!............. i would of been pissed if i put engine back together and then realised.....

 

 

only problem is........... whats the cheapest way of getting a replacement? :(

Depends what's broken on it. Usually it's the harness that's broken not the sensor. How did they check that it was broken?

unfortunatly i didnt get much help on that subject as their was another zed there having loads of money spent and i personally felt like he didnt have the time or patience and that my car was "in the way"

 

other than that i will try to have a look at what is broken... maybe when im taking it out i could get in contact with forum again and see what you lot think?

 

is there any other way of testing sensor with engine off?

Is your engine running at the moment?

Is your engine running at the moment?

 

it does run but as i left it off road for a while i prefer not to mess about starting it and stopping it.

 

ALso due to a Turbo water pipe feed leaking i prefer not to take any chances until most things are changed.

 

I have on order.. silicone piping to change all pipes i see and enough for Water bypass, Lower and upper Injector o-rings (will test injectors) Gaskets for Plenum, gaskets for throttle bodies, another gasket for something else (forgot) Vac pipe kit, New Thermostat, viscous fan.

 

also looking to get PCV valves and bypass AIV, bypass EGR.

 

then everntually New loom..........

 

once most of the above are fitted and gearbox changed to manual then i will start her up

 

*back to your question.......... technically then,,, its not running as such
