Brrrrrr!!!

I'm just researching it at the minute.
it doesn't seem to be too bad,
it's just getting parts for it is an absolute pig,
its a 1.5L DOHC autozam Az3
i just looked at the engine block
It has B55i-4 as the code, is this the the same as european 1.6L??

you could rip my arm off then beat me with the soggy end and I'd still not know what you just asked! :shock: :lol:

[jamesmx3]

the.6 code is b6, b6de or b6ze i think. it may fit though, as the 1.6 may use the same block just bored out a bit more.

might be the same as the 94-98 323f ba 1.5l?

[tinyrhino]

see :wink:

easy way to test waterpump take the hose off the pump and start it to see if the impellers come off the shaft you should feel pressure sucking in or blowing out depending of witch one you take off

[Ma's Da]

Thanks guys for all the help,
I'll test that water pump as soon as possible,

has anyone changed their heater core??
is there much involved?

[james lee]

most of the center concle its right above the ecu

[tinyrhino]

nice

drippy drippy bang fizzle :shock: :lol:

I by-passed the heater core at the weekend,
the temp is much more stable now, its sitting on the halfway mark
crisis averted for the moment
I've to pick up a airmix cable and heater core next week

Thanks for all the help guys

i pulled the dash at the weekend to fix air mix doors and put in new cable,
i put the dash back and reconnected everything.

now temp gauge isn't reading at all, ive lost orange light for petrol and
blue light for full beams,
fuses all seem fine and ive rechecked all connections to gauges

Any ideas???? :?

sure everythings plugged up right? bulbs maybe burnt out? sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect … it's weird.

[Ma's Da]

i have the gauges back working again.
gauges came back out and when i put them back in again and reconnected the battery they worked…..
very strange
