lupo_ro Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nice mate! I bought the engine and I am planning to change it soon. My 1.0 MPi has been damaged because the oil pump failed. It is hard to change it at home? I have some experience but...I think maybe I will not be able to done it. Should I go to an service?

BioTriffid Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 if you have a nice tool kit like i do then and a friend or two then yes its very easy, just make sure you take plenty of photos and take your time doing it. make sure the engine codes match and try to keep all the bolts marked up in bags so it makes life easy putting it back in kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioTriffid Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 it looks a mess but its all plug and go you cant get anything wrong because the plugs only fit the correct plug it should go with, some parts are/can be hard to get to or undo but that maybe diffrent on other engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
