Engine misfiring with a misfire code for cylinder #1. Changed all ignition coils and plugs, all ok after that. |

Coolant system overflow bottle low level light came on. Filled bottle, next day light on again. Found slight leak coming from water pump area. (known problem area) . Changed waterpump, found the impeller bearing shot and the cause for the leak. The plastic waterpump housing is also prone to cracking, which was not in my case. Installed an aluminum waterpump. Repair took long time, because engine inlet must be removed to get good access. The dealer seems to do the repair from below without removing the inlet, but without a bridge this is not doable at home. |
