Sexuality aside...;)
Trying to adjust static timing of FIP with a mallet...:eek:
RAVE points out that 'final movement of the pump should be towards the engine'. There will be backlash otherwise.
As I (and many others) have said, it is not that hard a job to do it properly (dial gauge etc.)
 
Did the Engine ECU temp sensors change depending on year (vin) or will any Green one work?
I've just replaced thermostat, pump, brown sensor and the Green sensor ECU, but the glow plugs still come on when the engine is hot.!
I've looked everywhere and cant find any 'hotfix' anywhere, so presumably can only be a wrong or faulty ECU sensor, could it a missplaced wire ? I need to know so that when I get to setting up the FIP properly it wont be sabotaged by a 'hidden hot fix' or faulty sensor. On the nano it reads "injecteur out side of range" or something like that. I cant think it's a good idea to run the car with the ECU believing the engine is cold. The Nano shows the correct temperature, how does it know, from the Bcem?

Static timing is wrong modulation cannot correct it. For listed fault.

Broken wire to sensor? One sensor gives ECU readings, another is for temp guage. Third pulls in aircon fans during overheat.

My hotfix is a little box on back of ECU box but a home made one might be small enough to fit inside.
