Hello

Unfortunately I think the pump needs to come off and be stripped/cleaned. If your cranking the engine and there is no suction then the internal vain pump is probably seized.

Does anyone have a new 2.1 Aux tensioner for sale or can recommend the cheapest place to purchase one? ECP are roughly £60 and in stock which is good as I can collect it on the bus (car is now disabled due to a shredded aux belt)

Cheers :-)

Happy to paint it but anything else goes to the landlord.

I can / would decorate etc a lot more but I'm in a rented property with no plans to buy. I do use B&Q, Screwfix, tool station etc.... For other 'things' that I'm tinkering with.

Cover the whole disk in masking tape then cut the edges/parts to be sprayed off with a knife. They usually have an oily layer so clean first. VHT paint or BBQ paint should work...

I wouldn't say 1 post in 7 years is being a lurker ha ha Good luck with the Saab, very nice cars.

+1 for Olive oil. Never actually used it personally but know people who swear by it.

Would of thought it be the wiring to your Electro valve is on the fritz. Besides that, your description of work done was reet proper amusing

Hi all, just about to buy new brakes for my 2.1td saloon but wanted to know the difference between saloon and estate front brakes if any? A lot of the sellers on EBay state one or t'other not the same for both....

Not done it on a 406 but the upper inlet bolts are covered by the exhaust Mani. I would remove the exhaust Mani studs by double nutting them, let the exhaust / turbo etc... Drop a bit to expose the nuts then you ' should' be able to remove it. You will need a new gasket as its the paper type.

The 206 I had was hydraulically operated. What engine is in your sisters 206?
