Water in de bougiegaten van mijn 3L V6

Mijn 2004 Phedra V6 heeft tegenwoordig een probleem. Bij regen komt er water in de voorste 3 bougiegaten. De auto loopt beroerd. Heel beroerd. Display zegt depollution system faulty.

Hoe komt dat water er nu wel in en voorheen nooit?

Re: Ignition coil

There is a lot of wound wire in the coil which heats up. It needs cooling. In the old days (say before 1970) cooling was done by oil. The coil is not 100% full of oil. To make sure the air bubble is outside the windings the coil has to be mounted upright. On the S1 Fulvia's the coils are mounted upr...

Re: 123 distributor

The Fulvia engine has a short engine and thus a short crankshaft. It has only 3 main bearings while a 4 in line engine like the Lampredi engine has 5 main bearings. The narrow V4 Fulvia crankshaft flexes more than any 4 in line crankshaft. The flexing causes vibration and metal fatigue. The earlier ...

Does it make a difference when the drivers door is open or closed?

Re: Advice: S2 head overhaul Fulvia coupe 1.3S

Wait a minute. There is a good chance there is a depositie on the valves caused by the additives. Do NOT use any additives. Fulvia's run very well on unleaded. Stop using the additive. Try to clean valves by running the car on Euro98 from a reliable source. Run the car. If you like with a bit of eng...

Re: Advice: S2 head overhaul Fulvia coupe 1.3S

The compression values certainly point to valves not properly closing. Did you put any additive into the fuel? Some lead replacement additives leave a powder on valves and seats. If you did, stop putting additives. Fill up with E5 and add valve cleaning stuff to the fuel. The workshop manual for S2 ...
