Hello David, Would you be kind enough to up date us on this, so others can benefit from your experience. Many thanks and kind regards, Gareth.

Sorry Seyed I don’t know what the fuel temperature should be, but probably Stevey Y will. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Seyes, I too would go along with the fact that the coolant temperature should rise to 90 degrees within about 3 miles, and - importantly - stay gauge stable at that temperature through the journey. Who at the dealership told you that gauge variance is normal? An actual technician, or a Service receptionist? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Mark, I’m really sorry to hear of your issue. If it were mine, I would attack this from the logical stance of getting the compressions tested as the first task. If the belt has slipped (and let’s hope it hasn’t) then carrying out a compression test on each cylinder is not going to cause any more damage than has already been done. If the belt hasn’t slipped then carrying out the compression test will give essential information before moving on to other non starting possibilities. Perhaps you can keep us up to date on what occurs. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome John, Seems like your ‘back up’ now needs to be re-coded to action all its operations. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Ian, Have you got your exclamation button automatically logged in by any chance?

Any update for us Marcus?

OK Ian, we are only trying to get the written fact that will help us to help you, so the ! really is surplus to requirements. Moving forward:- Run diagnostics again to confirm that the front wheel is still the only offender. If so, check and trace wiring to sensor. Incidentally, what make sensor/s did you buy, and did you fit 4 of them? If wiring traces OK, consider other options such as rear wheel ‘senders’ which are built into the hubs. Finally Ian, we are not the Spanish Inquisition, but we do need facts to help, and being helpful is our only aim. Please come back to us with what you think. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks again Ian, but I’m still unclear on which wheel the new Reluctor ring was fitted to - sorry if I’ve missed your answer to that question.

Sorry Jim, incorrectly took the name from Brian, the poster who posted a helpful response to your plea. Thanks - the forum would be very interested in the progress with this, so thanks for promising to post the outcome. Kind regards, Gareth.

Many thanks for acknowledging Brian, but any progress or plan to update us on? Kind regards, Gareth.

Wondered how you are getting on with this Mo - ?

Hello Brian, I think the quickest route would be to search EBay and assess/ask for the critical dimensions which will be meaningful. Could do the same on Amazon I guess. Perhaps you could let us know what you choose Brian, since that could be of use to other members. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Ian, Bear in mind it maybe any other component driven by the auxiliary belt. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Ian, When you say you changed a recluctor ring, was that on the wheel which is showing the fault on diagnostics? Kind regards, Gareth.

Any comments for us Brian?

Any comments for us Ian?

Welcome Keith, and thanks for joining. Possibly/ probably a blocked heater matrix, but please do a search the forum in general, and you should find out much more. The reason the coolant level ran low sometime ago?? Does it still lose coolant, and if so how much - over x miles? Kind regards, Gareth.

ECP - bless you.

Hello Kevin, I’ve removed your duplicate post for you. Re. the issue:- Have you checked that 245/40/21 is a correct and listed alternative fitment for your vehicle? The answer will be on the tyre pressure sticker on the car - fuel flap, door pillar etc. Is the car fitted with mud flaps? Kind regards, Gareth.

How are you getting on with this Osman?

Are you going to return to the forum Manu, since you seem to have posted and not returned?

Thanks Ian, Have you viewed and responded to the posts on the other section? Kind regards, Gareth.

Sounds good then Chris. Price wise would also sound good. If the quality of your turns out to be anything like the one we had for the KA, you should be impressed - thicker spring pans, better paint protection etc. We gave the new frame a liberal coating of Waxoyl before fitting. Always worth doing. Let us know how you get on Chris. Kind regards, Gareth.

Ok. Sounds good, except why did you renew ‘sensors’ if you had isolated the issue to the sensor on o/s front wheel? Is the sender on the front wheel a Reluctor ring type? Kind regards, Gareth.
