Did that one with our K11. The k12 engines aren't cheap to source. I think the best route may be to sell off as spares and put money towards a live one.
A quick one to all you good folk.
Before I start to replace water pump and broken camshaft/timing belt on a 1.5dci 2003 plate Nissan Micra.
Does any know if the High pressure fuel pump has to be timed to anything. I know some diesel engines do and others not.
I'm thinking that as this is a...
May well be normal wear and tear at 147000 miles on the clock.
However today the care has leaked water from the water pump area and soon after it has stalled for the first time ever. Making a rattling noise. Typical of the when a timing belt has slipped and the tooth have jumped a cog. So...
Have tested glow plug relay timer and it is checking out fine.
Process for others is documented below;
1) Connect Voltage Meter -ve lead to battery -ve terminal.
2) Connect Votage meter +ve lead to Glow wire from timer unit/glow plug relay having first removed it from one of the glow plugs...
Makes no difference in that sense as the glow plugs only power up for a second at a time. So effectively I have no pre-heat at all. Ineed to find the glow plug relay itself so that I can manually force it on for 15 secs or so by applying a negative to the relays primary winding. If the car then...
Yes does start better after 2nd 3rd crank. Yes this is where the timer control module is. But where is the glow plug relay itself? Also is there a schematic for the glow timer control module shown in the link above? It would be most helpful.
Hi good people. I am in need of some wise advice.
Nissan Micra diesel on 2003 plate. Not playing ball starting when cold. Have replaced battery for new and given it a full charge. Have replaced all 4 glow plugs as car is now on 150k. Two of these tested faulty anyhow.
Symptoms are:
