Jaguar s type diesel how to remove front bumper as I have a coolant leak? The offending part is the hose going to the dual a/c valve
You have 2 inconsistencies in your request. The Brand shows a 2005 Opel Astra 1.6 and you need to put it in the Jaguar brand category for more help. You then mention coolant leak, which is the term for Antifreeze in the cooling system. Later you say problem is the A/C valve.
Sometimes it is easier to remove a larger part like the Condenser with the hoses attached by separating the ends of the hoses from their joints in places that are accessible. Then replace the components from the larger part, return the Condenser to its mounts, and reattach the lines at their joints which are accessible.
You will need extra O-rings in some cases. Be sure to use green Silicon O-rings and have A/C tools on hand.
When my opel astra 1.6ie is cold it struggle to start, and cant rev when its cold, but when its warm it becomes normal. Anybody have advice for me please.
Identical cold start issue on my Astra IE 1996 F series after the engine got rebored - after months the new oil pump was found to be faulty & clogged-up & replaced by the spares supplier - the car then ran perfectly after this. I was told the blockage created a backpressure & the computer was stopped it starting.
16 years later - 10 yrs after the last service covering just 8600km (last 2 yrs car hardly started) has identical cold issues again. It can be driven around & wont take long cold start in our warm coastal winters. The good mechanic seems to be giving up trying to fix my old car but refuses to believe its a low oil pressure issue saying that just makes the oil warning symbol light up & doesn't affect a car starting. I want to check if the engine warning light works on starting showing the low oil pressure sensor is working. But his now busy searching for a Astra specific temperature sensor.
