Couple if vids of the seicento

[imported_abyss113]

made a couple of wee vids showing what happens when i rev above 3500rpm and of the engine bay as it seems a bit juddery

have been told the timing could be off slighty caussing the backfire

 

[ycming]

Hmm what is that thing on the cam cover??

Ming

 

[imported_abyss113]

what thing ?
:0)

 

[mrcinquecento]

Looks like a hose clip of some sort to me, just next to the oil filler flap

 

[imported_abyss113]

nope still cant see it must be blind

 

[mrcinquecento]

That thing i've added a few helpful arrows to point out lol

 

[ycming]

Nevermind that thing . It does sound a on the noisy side ... Did you fit the timing belt urself? also you check the valve/shims gap ?

Presuming it's the sort of ring pull shaped clip thing next to where the oil filler cap is on the left hand side.

well thats what iwas thinking but its part of the cam cover

was gonna say

what way is the lead meant to be connected on the coil pack just to makes sure they are the correct way around

 

[ycming]

Is it a connector or some sort for a loom plug?

MARTYN!!!!!!

bug, photos dont attatch properly since the update, fix please! lol

and for that mysterious part was trying to show, that part is something ive never seen on a cento before. none of mine have ever had it anyway

 

[imported_abyss113]

YAY i have a special seicento

dont know what it could be it just seems to be there

 

[ycming]

I think that cam cover is from a MPI seicento that has a cam phrase sensor (Andy got one of them). Not sure if it causes the rough running. Is there any hole or anything like in that thing?

Do you know why was the cam cover replaced?

Thats a great shout actualy! i havent done much with mpi's, just really spi's

why would a cam cover be replaced? im guessing theres been a rocker oil leak that someones struggled to cure and have replaced the cover aswell as the gasket in the hope the cover had an uneven surface.

makes me wonder aswell if a few other bits have been pinched from an mpi and unkowingly put on an spi.....hmmmm

 

[ycming]

Did you plug the hole for the cam phrase sensor ???? Found out fiat sell blanking plugs.

Ming

 

[imported_abyss113]

nah havent had the time on the net lately so have only seen this today

so just blank that hole over that should be that then ??

 

[ycming]

Am not sure if it will solve ur problem, but if there is a leak in the cam cover, then it is the same as having an air leak. So it can never reach full throttle, where you have a drop in rev, when you hit certain rev range.

Can;t be sure, may be try an cover it with something (airtight) and see if it has an affect on it ? Or get anothr cam cover and see if it helps (this probably be easier) May br MrCento has a spare cam cover for you ?

[imported_abyss113]

ill try and cover the hole and see what happens

 

[imported_abyss113]

well slighlty better news today on bumbob me and mrcento hasd a wee look at his yesterday and turns out the ht leads are the wrong way round

number 4 was on 1 and 1 was on 4 oops but swapped them both around and its idleing so much better now and can rev all the way to redline no prblems although didnt cure the backfire so still to check the timing and get a blanking plug thingy
