Hi Guys I've moved house and with it had to move my Ibiza 16V for the first time in 18 months so obviously after that much neglect it needs some TLC and now I've started I've got the bug again.
First off I had to change the rocker seal and as some of you long term members may remeber that took 5 attempts to get the right part, got that done finally then took 4 attemps to get the upper inlet gasket (fooking SEAT dealers main reason I lost intertest in the first place now have 4 lower gaskets if anyone want one?) so now it's all back together I thought hunky dory but no it wouldn't idle so tracked this back to a couple of things.
A couple of Vacum pipes have perished so taped them up but still wouldn't idle and got a nasty electrical burning smell and smoke from above the Exhaust Manifold shield, so pulled around the wire that runs there and lo and behold it came apart in my hands and is all black so there is (hopefully) my problem.
What I want to check/ask is this wire for the throttle position sensor as it plugs into the throttle body on the Throttle cable side and routes round behind the inlet manifold and plugs in below the Dizzy? If so is this a single part I can order (i.e. plug to plug replacement) or is this going to need some Electrical skills??
Also does anyone know off the top of their head what size vacume pipe I need to replace the perised ones running from the ISV to the inlet manifold and down the from of the Manifold to what I think is the Oil breather system (about and inch at most connected to the Square plastic cap screwd to the inlet manifold to the left of the dipstick).
Sorry for the crap descriptions but I have no tinternet at the moment so can't post pics of I'd circle where I mean.
No doubt Mr Flapper or RobT will be able to help if they are still around?
Thanks in advance.
