LingLing Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ok, The Front sway bar is completely In. But the TRD sway bar might be little bit like 1cm to the right. because I tight up the Right Bush first and Left Bush Last. and the trd sway bars seems to be very tight in distance. Would this be a Problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Doubt it. If you're that worried tighten both ends then raise it and tighten the middle last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 White smoke is probably coolant in the exhaust. No biggy, its a bluetop. Find another and chuck it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 He can't, a mod soft deleted the thread so you have to be a mod to see it lol I see, thought he may have some how specifically banned me haha. Not surprising Andy , looks really good in the photos. What does 'soft' delete mean specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 White smoke is probably coolant in the exhaust. No biggy, its a bluetop. Find another and chuck it in not that much worried to be honest. It still runs well when it cooled down, can't really see smoke or anything. The water pump was loose as I Could move it a bit with my hands, water pouring down from the Plate between the water pump and the engine. I took 6 bolts off from the water pump. but I can't take the water pump out. any suggestions? i will check the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The Smoke was probably steam. It sounds like the water pump bearing collapsed. Put a new waterpump on it and see how it goes. %90 chance it will be ok. Out of curiosity what happened to the white one? I can't be bothered reading the last 26 pages to find out.

LingLing Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Would be surprised if it was the water pump itself, because it just got new cambelt and water pump before it sold to me. Now I am bit worried whether or not it actually did replace both of them or properly replaced. The Panda is gone for good Valiant. within 48 hrs felixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Why did it go. I thought you said the water pump was loose? Find where the leak is-fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 need to take top and middle cam belt covers off. should be able to remove pump without taking cam belt and shit off. pretty sure there is only 3 bolts that actually bolt it to engine, not 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Couldn't afford two cars/ silver is in MUCH better condition. Yep, When I took/checked it, it was loose. but I wouldn't say it was loose before, I had good few weeks driving in it so. I acutally don't know what's going on here. KPR: Yes, The mid cam cover is off, There are 3 small/short, 3 big/long bolts holding the water pump. I have took them all off, The water pump is sealed/gasketed to a plate/mount. and the bit between the plate and the engine is where is leaked. Have a look tomorrow + manual. see what I can do. Sucks only own one car! can't go anywhere now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 What does 'soft' delete mean specifically? Soft delete means its in a trash bin that only admin and mods can see, hard delete would mean its gone permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Kpr, you might be right actually, there 3 small bolts are for holding front water pump plate to the rear water pump plate. 3 big ones are to the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 edit: yeh ^ 3 big bolts (m8's) unbolt it from the engine. the small (m6's) hold the 2 halves of the pump together. can take the whole pump off without removing the small bolts. not quite sure where you mean its leaking. but should be an O ring that sits in the block that the pump oulet seals against. should be a gasket between the 2 halves of the pump. dont split it and put the small bolts back in if this isn't where it leaked. as you will need to buy a new gasket. if there is gasket sealer anywhere thats your problem..

LingLing Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 yep, it leaks from the back plate of the water pump. which is the O ring, 80% sure now. I don't know How normally the procedures are for replacing the water pump. but looks like the front plate of the water pump is new. and the Rear Plate is just OLD as the rest of the engine. Is that Normal? also, there is only sealant between the front and rear plate. I guess they didn't bother to buy a genuine gasket to put in it.
