    Is the Timing belt contaminated on my car ? pics included

    I'll Well the level hasn't dropped in the reservoir for over a week so do the maths, how that is possible I don't know. I put my feet on the pedal I'm not sure if it goes to the floor or not so I'll get another opinion on that. I felt it sinking to the floor the other week but doesn't seem to...

    Is the Timing belt contaminated on my car ? pics included

    Strangely the level of brake fluid hadn't dropped in about 500 miles over the last 10 days, whereas it was needing topping up every 150 miles beforehand. How can it suddenly just stop leaking ?

    Is the Timing belt contaminated on my car ? pics included

    Thanks John. I wondered if the oil had got in from outside the belt area as there is wet oil outside belt, near where the bolt is missing for timing belt cover. here are some pics of the belt /area with oil contamination please see 3rd picture, I think it shows most detail of problem...

    Is the Timing belt contaminated on my car ? pics included

    I removed the timing belt top cover today on my 2007 Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 cdti 120 bhp. Just to inspect it for maintenance reasons. I noticed a missing bolt on the timing belt cover and near this bolt was oil on the outside area of the timing belt cover. because the bolt was missing I think oil...

    Brake oil seems to have suddenly stopped leaking, whereas I was topping in up every 100 - 200 miles

    As many of you may know my vauxhall vectraa 1.9 cdti 120 bhp had developed an issue in that the level in the brake fluid reservoir was dropping and would need topping up about every 100 - 200 miles. the level would drop about 0.5 - 1 inch within every 100 or 200 miles. However for the week or...

    Car is UNDERheating , temperature gauge reading stays very low, why ?

    Yes, it's a brake servo and master cylinder which is acceptable to fit other than brand new, it's not however acceptable to replace used brake pads or discs as they must always be new when replaced

    Car is UNDERheating , temperature gauge reading stays very low, why ?

    I'll check that once it is off of my car. How is the master cylinder separated from the servo ? I understand it'll need bleeding, I have bled brakes when replacing the calipers so I assume it's just need bleeding for longer ? I hear a lot about bench bleed the master cylinder whatever that is...

    Car is UNDERheating , temperature gauge reading stays very low, why ?

    I was told yesterday the master cylinder and servo need be replaced. Not sure if he correctly diagnosed it or not When you say it's not a good idea taking it off the car what did you mean ? I took it off a petrol Vectra had the same code on brake servo and euro car parts show same master...

    Car is UNDERheating , temperature gauge reading stays very low, why ?

    Well I removed it and it was relatively easy, so now that I know what I'm doing it'll be quicker when I do the job on the car. Hardest part is say was lack of clearance getting the brake servo out

    Car is UNDERheating , temperature gauge reading stays very low, why ?

    Hi John, thanks. So as I say the garage today out on the report the master cylinder and servo needed replacing, but there are no leaks do how can he say that ? He said the brake pipes looked ok i know it's leaking, regardless of the pedal going to floor or not as the fluid level keeps dropping
