take it to a shop, it requires specialty equipment for the AC to work properly again.

I would suggest a compression test to ensure that all the damaged valves were replaced. Replace the MAF sensor as it appears that it is faulty

Sorry, no there isn't.

check to see if the Instrument Cluster fuse is ok

it could be your transmisssion is not reading in park pos. have you looked at that.

i am guessin you have the 1.6l engine. from what i recall a few months back while reading through a service manual, the ideal compression ratio should be about 190psi, with a minimum ratio of 170psi. the difference in the cylinders should not exceed 20psi. based on the results you have given, i think you have a serious problem. i would recommend you try a "wet' compression test. that would atleast give an indication of whether or not the piston rings are worn out as well. to answer your second question, the 1.6l has a total of 16 valves, four per cylinder, 2 exhaust and 2 intake.

if you have damaged rods or valves in your engine, there would be almost no chance that the engine would run or even start. it is quite possible that you did not get your timing right when changing the belt. in most cases, getting the pulley to piston 1 TDC does not always guarantee that the engine timing is correct. my advice is to recheck the timing of the engine, as well as Ignition timing (which is also controlled by the positioning of the crank pulley) before condemning any internal mechanical failure. to answer your question, there is no written way of knowing whether your rods or valves are damaged without taking apart the engine and inspecting for damage. however, damaged internal components will always leave a trail. you can try draining the engine oil and checking the oil for any metal filings. you can also take out the oil sump to check for any pieces of broken metal in the sump. hope that helps

is it possible that you did not get the ignition timing right? the symptoms you describe indicate a problem with ignition timing. in most cases when doing timing with the crank pulley at TDC does not necessarily ensure that ignition timing is correct. use a timing light, (if you can get one) to confirm this. typically, inspect the pulley and ensure that the marks on the pulley are at par with the mark on the crank case (where the pulley is mounted).

When you stand infront of the car. open the bonnet, look where the engine and gearbox join. left of the gearbox and engine joint. below the head and above the sump. a black sensor with one 10m bolt. one black wire about 4mm thick which plug into a wire coming from the top of the engine. see picture

Take out the screws holding on !

Hi there, I think from memory the whole hub assembly comes with new bearings when you replace it, it's a easy change, remove wheel, remove the brake calliper, remove the front axel nut and the hub should come off, hope this helps, it's a easy change

You have to remove a freeze-plug from the block, and then replace that plug with the block-heater element. THIS IS NOT AN EASY JOB!
