Both facing upward, with the flat parallel to the engine deck. Then the #1 cylinder lobes should both be facing upward (relative to the engine deck- remember the engine sits tilted at an angle in the engine bay), and slightly pointing inward toward each other.

I drive a 2000 5series and the only light that sounds similar is the radiator low water warning light. worth a check.

SOURCE: how do i position the timing marks when replacing my cam belt

j__quin: 4-AC engine I believe we are both referring to.
Your cam gear can only fit one way and if you look at the cam gear, you will notice that there is a small hole in the gear close to the center, somewhat in between two of the large holes.
Position that small hole at the 12:00 PM and look through the hole.
You should be able to see a timing mark through the hole on the head. The mark should be dead center.
At the bottom, the crank woodruff key will be at 12:00 PM.
Also on the back side of the timing gear on the crank closest to the block, is a notch "V" which you line up with a dot on the block.
You should see the two line up with the key in the 12:00 PM position.
Put the belt on, when you set the tension, a good way to check it, is to find the longest span between the tensioner and the gear.
Take your fore finger and thumb and try to twist the belt. It shouldn't twist more than 45 degrees.
Good luck.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Nissan

Bank two is towards the Radiator. You should check with a nissan dealership. call them up and give them your Vin # and have them run it for any recalls. There is a old recall that Nissan will replace both cam sensors for free if your car falls under the Vin range.

SOURCE: location of cam and crank angle sensor in 96 N15

The cam and crank position sensor can be found in the front of the crank on the engine block below or next to the water pump in many applications.
It can also be located on the main crank pully or the flywheel.

How do I remove rear seats in my 1987 xj6 jaguar to access the sunroof motor?

If I recall correctly, the lower seat cushion pushes rearward toward the boot, then pulls up and out. Once that has been removed, you will see two bolts attaching the rear cushion to the body. Remove those bolts, then pull the rear cushion slightly outward (towards the bonnet), then upward to unhook from the body.

Need timing marks for 1993 1.6 Toyota Corola camshafts

If its the 1.6litre 4afe. Turn the crankshaft to TDC, ie. Tiny slit on the crank pulley should be straight underneath the 0deg mark. The cams, intake cam is driven off the exhaust cam by means of two gears. Installation marks. They have 4 holes in front of the gears. Front being closest to timing belt. Upon installation one hole in each gear should face upwards and the other holes should face each other between the gears. On the exhaust cam pulley there is a hole drilled through it, ie. timing mark. It should face up. Directly inline with the grove in the first cam cap. If you have 1.6litre 4age engine. Between cam gears and cylinder head there should be a plate. groves in cam gears should face the groves in the the plate.

Timing marks toyota 4e-fe

The detail is as under:
A. With the lower timing case in place and upper half timing case removed.
1. With the engine switch OFF, and in neutral position, hand brake pulled, jack up the right front wheel. Turn the steering wheel fully right hand side. Rotate the engine crankshaft pulley with 19 mm deep socket clock wise and bring the engraved timing mark of the pulley in front of Zero (0) degree mark which is printed on the lower timing case.
2. The cam shaft timing gear has a small hole on one of its spokes.
It should be straight upward, at exactly 90 degrees to the cylinder head upper face. With the help of mirror carefully look through this hole, you will find a pin hole mark there. With the crankshaft pulley at 0 degrees, this hole in the camshaft gear should exactly align with the pin hole of the camshaft bracket number 1.

Toyota Tazz window winder

Toyota Tazz driver side window refused to wind properly. Problem was that winder mechanism and window separated - old glue. Found some input from Ben on this forum. Some pointers after doing the job today.
Step 1 - remove the arm rest - two screws
Step 2 - remove the screw holding the door opener handle.
Step 3 - remove the C-clip holding the winder handle. The clip is round but the ends are slightly bent outward - to fit back easily. Use a large screwdriver to force a small opening (thus moving the panel slightly inward). I took a piece of thin solid wire and bent it into a loop. This looped wire I hooked around the one end of the clip and pulled in the opposite direction towards the inside of the car. The open end is towards the part of the handle you wind. Make sure the top of the handle faces towards the interior of the car (door is open wide). The clip shot off (as Ben warned) but landed in the car.
Step 4 - the door handle (square) must be slid forward and outward towards you. Will now be loose but is held by the rod going to the lock.
Step 5 - loosen all clips carefully by pulling the panel forward - large screwdriver works.
Step 6 - lift up the panel - and push the door handle holder through the hole in the panel. The panel will now be free.
Step 7 - the window can be removed in this case where window and mechanism seperated by simply pulling the window upwards and outwards.
Step 8 - I used a small grinder and removed most of the glue - but not all.
Step 9 - put the window back into the door making sure it is correctly aligned in the side-sliders.
Step 10 - I used an epoxy 2-part glue (Pratley) and placed some glue in the holders. Position the window and mechanism correctly (using glue I left as marker). Note that only 2 holes in door panel can be used to see or fit glue.
Step 11 - Mix more glue and apply front and back. Now place some grease in the mechanism rail (horizontal) and wind window to the top. Leave to dry.
Step 12 - replace all in reverse. Clip pushes on easily - I used a small long-nose pliers.

Cheers,
Chris Snyman

Nissan dead battery how do you open the bonnet?

Under the dash on the driver's side is a bonnet release. Pull the release towards the seat. This should release the first bonnet restraint.
Next, under the front of the bonnet is a secondary release lever. Slide this lever to the right and lift the bonnet.
On the right side of the engine compartment on top should be a prop rod for the bonnet. Put this into the receptacle hole on the bonnet.

Key won't come out of ignition locked in, won't turn all the way off.

there's a plastic cover on the bottom of your steering column facing your lap as you sit in the seat. pop it off. put your thumb in the hole and poke upward toward the dash until you feel a button. hold it in and the key comes out.
