- New car, new engine codes - lets get this fixed before Festival Italia on Sunday! Hopefully its something easy to replace like a temperature sensor or o2 sensor!
Can't wait for video from Sunday:)
Can’t wait to see if the car will make the journey 😂
@@Project40Cars fingers crossed it will haha
@@f00lxpl taking the family with me for extra tension 🤣
@@Project40Cars Good luck man and keep us updated!
🙏🏼Hope all goes well today! Would loved to have tried to make it myself with my HGT but it's just decided to start with a nice new knocking sound somewhere at the rear & booking it in tomorrow 😥 Long trip for me as well unfortunately being in Yorkshire.
Last engine warning I had was down to the cam and crankshaft sensors. Thats when I decided to have the timing belt and variator done at the same time as they are tough to get to apparently. The revs drop issue I would keep an eye on - I had similar for the first 4 years of having mine and it really spoilt the drive. In my case it would happen when dropping down the gears with the clutch depressed, always at very low speeds like junctions and would 50/50 stall out if I missed it and didnt catch it on the throttle. Had about 5 garages look into it and couldn't find the fault. Cleaned the throttle body myself (was already clean) and one garage put it down to a split pipe on the throttle body (sealed and still occurred). In the end it fixed itself when I had the timing and variator work done - (but my garage didnt think this would actually fix it).
They put it down to possibly being the new battery terminals they had fitted. The electronics in this car are typically a bit flamboyant 🤭 You'll find you get all sorts of crazy warnings if your levels are low (I still often get airbag testing warnings, or false sidelight warnings if its been sat for a few days) but effects a lot more in the car I think than you would sometimes imagine (so worth a check if you havent already).
Also if you can try and get that aircon fixed. Not sure what unit you'll have (mine has the digital front plate) but it is one of the best things in the car. Quick to cool down and pretty powerful (though mines just developed a rattle when on so something I need to now look at too! 🤣) List never ends!
Classic cars always know how to test your sanity 😅
Had a 1.2 elx 3 door from 40k right up to 150k, absoletly loved that little car and always wanted a HGT!
One thing thats been bugging me following your series, your wiper arms are on the wrong way round and its driving me crazy 😬😂
Wiper linkages were a common fault on these and often after repair the wiper arms were put back on the wrong way round and has always bugged me when ive seen it in the past.
Also im sure you mentioned in your first video about the lack of cup holders, you actually got 2 decent sized cup holders in the mk2, however the HGT sacrificed them for the CD changer.
Loving the car so far and cant wait to see more!
You’re 100% right about the arms! I found this out on Sunday when I used them in the rain, the drivers side one goes off the car 😂 I hadn’t realised they were on the wrong way round!
I see what you mean about the cup holders, I recently got a punto brochure and looked longingly at the sportings cup holders.
