  1. Done an oil and filter change on wednesday to the 156, ive only done about 30 miles in the thing since then and now its got a horrible knocking on acceleration.

     

    The knocking is engine speed related, sat on the drive, and rev it in neutral, and the knock is there, not there on lift off throttle, more promanant at around 2500-3000rpm, i darent take it over that.

     

    is it the big ends ?


  2. Quick Update:

     

    So, after rebuild and driving around Friday, all seems ok, I've still got the crunch on changing gear into 2nd, either going up from 1st or coming down from 3rd.

     

    BUT.........when out to the car today to check on oil levels, and I noticed that the selespeed pump did not run when I opened the drivers door.....weird....checked the oil level, that's ok. Switched on the ignition, and the pump ran for about 2-3 seconds..

     

    So I switched off the ignition and left the car for an hour, went back out, opened the drivers door, and again nothing from the pump, switched on the ignition, and it ran, again only for 2-3 seconds.....

     

    either the system is now holding the pressure very well for a long time or..........????


  3. Thank you kindly sir !!!

     

    The system was not "completely" drained, only disconnected the high/low pressure lines, and removed the back plate to check on the condition of the "up/down" piston and sensor, as I seem to be showing 3mm "over travel" on MES, and there are "witness marks" on the roll pin fitted to the selector attachment that show the over travel...


  4. Qucik question, How much "Tolerence" is there in the ABS system......As in wheel speed difference before the system sees it as a problem.

     

    Say, 205/55/16 tyres on the rear and 20/50/16 tyres on the front, i think it works out at approx 3% smaller circumfrance for the fronts, so would be rotating slighty faster than the rears in a straight line.


  5. Hello All.

     

    Ive got a random "crunch" whenever my selespeed changes into 2nd from either 1st or 3rd, It does not happen all the time, but its there now and again, the same noise as though the synchromesh is worn.

     

    I want to replace the gearbox, I heard that there is two types of selector rods fitted to geaboxs, and that an early selespeed unit wont fit a later box, is this correct, or can I just us any 5 speed manual gearbox.

     

    Car is a 2000 156 2.0TS.

     

    Thanks chaps.


  6. OK, strange one for you lot....

     

    I have recently started to have problems trying to connect to the Selespeed ECU, MultiECU wont connect to it, nor even find it when doing a scan.

     

    I can connect to the Engine, ABS and Airbags just fine, but not a sniff of the Selespeed ECU.

     

    One other weird thing, with just the ignition on, engine not running, I can select all gears, I thought the system will only let you select 1st, 2nd & Reverse......
