Re: Thermostat
just follow the top radiator hose back to the side of the cylinder head. there are three 10mm bolts holding the cover over the thermostat. its below the distributer.

Re: Crankcase ventilation
the other end of the hose dos'nt need to go any where its just it you dont put any thing on the end of the oil brether the fumes will make a mess under the bonnet. the idea of the hose is to direct the mess and the fumes down under the car. hope that made sence.

Re: Crankcase ventilation
that's what iv done on my car and as a bonus it idles perfectly. i would suggest you get a piece of hose long enough to reach to about level with the bottom of the sump.

Re: burning oil smell and blue white smoke /smoking at idle
when was the oil and filter last changed? mine was doing the same as yours (smocking at idle) and when i changed the oil and filter it stopped doing it. i put it down to the old oil being too thin when hot and getting past the oil seals in the turbo. probably the turbo is quite worn aswell 135,000 a...

Re: Fuel Leaking Problem
hi takashi . if you could get a picture of the pipe so as i could see that would help.
but going by what you have said i think the pipe you are talking about is the return line to the tank so there wont be any pressure in it so it should be easy to fix but i still like to see it to be sure.

I would start checking the alternator as it sounds like it cant keep up with the power demand and the ECU's aren't getting enough power to keep them running right. the alternator coul...
