The Panda Nut
Nutty about Pandas Infected by Panda virus and OPD
Simple problem. I want to do a compression test on our 169. Its a 2011 1.2 VVTI. What do I need to remove without risking damage before doing the test. ECU plugs or injector wiring and coil loom. We have some blue smoke which needs sorting and I want to find out what the likely culprit is.
Second issue is I seem to be able to get a decent 312 1.2 engine which shoud be the same as ours for not much money, so does anyone know if there would be issues just swapping the whole lump. A low miler would answer all my issues and it would allow a complete inspection clean and opportunity to fit new clutch and ancillaries before fitting giving future proofing. I would have a still decent 1.2 lump to sell off cheap to recoup some cost at the same time. MAy be be getting ahead of myself with this but it could be the path of least aggro.
