They make extractors that you could try and use to remove it you have to drill a little hole and then insert the removal tool, but they make different kinds. Worse case would be have to remove the head and hope that there is enough bolt left to get vise grips or something else clamped on tight enough to remove the bolt. Or the bolt will have to be drilled out and the hole re-tapped. This last step should not be attempted by a novice, but can be done successfully.

Check the radiator and the cooling fan. open the hood as the engine temperature rises does the fan come on. if not that the problem, Also do this As the car is warming up(from a cold start) near operating temperature, turn off the car, watch out for the fan, engine of key in your pocket fell the radiator is there any hot or cold spot? if there is the radiator is plugged. Also if the radiator isnt plugged new doesnt mean it works, the water pump itself can be faulty. and dont forget the most important device the Thermostat you did timing belt waterpump they should of done thermostat.

is it mechanical or elctrical, if mech. try to release the arm and make it free.
and if elec. ,from inside make sure of wire connection of fuel tank cover lock.

If you have a large bunch of keys and they hang from your ignition key, the lock is going to wear very quickly, the tumblers in the lock loose their profile and length and the lock either does not recognise the key anymore or you will be able to operate it with a pocket knife etc. Your ignition key should never have more that about another two keys and possibly a very light fob attached to it or the vibration and bouncing of normal driving will damage the lock. This is inconvenient because it often means that you will need two bunches of keys, but those are the facts.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Yes the ignition switch is a wear and tear thing. If it's burnt there tends to be no current to the plugs. If that's the case then the ignition switch must be replaced.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Welcome to Fixya

Mass air flow will be located at top of the intake manifold right before air will actually enter the cylinder head. It will have a main air hose running through it to engine. You just need 12 or 13mm sockets to remove it. Please click here for the part.

its one of the big power distribution fuses under the bonnet in teh power distribution box near the battery ,its the fuse for the engine so everything stops their is no seperate fuse

It calls for a group 48L

Try by cleaning your MAF(Mass Air Flow Sensor) it is located in your intake box. Use Maf Cleaner or high percentage isopropl alcohal. Do not physically touch the sensor with anything.

you dont say if its auto or man??try to give the facts.man i would suspect clutch but only if reverse is hard to get as well. auto rev switch needs replaced.adrian?

I check it in estonia but i think this transport is not so ....

2.6 l engine is similar in dimensions and using the same transmission as the 2.8 l so you can swap it directly - no modifications. The transmission is a ZF 5HP19 model.
The only local source (no importing) from which you can buy an good one is a scrapyard - you will need to go thru all of them.

Since you just installed the head unit, this should be easy-popping is almost always a ground issue, so look there first and if possible, you can ground it to the negative battery post for the best possible ground signal. If that is impractical, make the ground as short as possible-you should be using good wire and connections need to be clean and tight.
