As above, i bought a 1.8 16v clio mk1 engine.
I put most of it back together and have it in my clio now mostly connected up but i'm having a few probs figuring out what goes where.
Map sensor? Which hose fits on? i have a good idea but the hose i thought it might be, is huge! Cant be that one.
Has anyone got any big decent pictures of an engine bay?
also a fuel line question, i had a 1.4 SPI engine in before. which used rubber fuel hose.
the valver lump uses reinforced hose.
i have connected the hose using a joiner. should i run a new fuel line using all reinforced hose to be on the safe side or not bother?
Cheers |

The MAP sensor connected via a small bore vacuum hose that comes of the end of a hard piece of pipe that is bolted to 2 of the cambelt cover fixings. The other end of this then goes into the inlet manifold. I may have a picture of this one my digi camera, but that is round my parents. If you are still having problems, I'll dig it out.
I personally would use the re-inforced hose, it must be there for a reason and you can't mess about with fuel. I have a spare set if you are interested, they are in good condition with no splits. PM me if you are interested. |

the hose is on the drivers side of the engine for the MAP pipe, the metal pipe rins across the camcover, inlet man end is a short 90 degree pipe and the longer rubber pipe from the exhaust side to the map sensor bracket.
I have to say using a joiner if its the correct type (liek the ones I used in the scrapheap project) are ok because they are real fuel pipe joiners and have bits that bite into the hose. |

I'll take one of my old 16v engine for you, you'll be able to see where it goes.
I'll post it up tomorrow night. |

Got stuck for 3 hours with the trains tonight, so haven't been round my parents to take pictures as I'm knackered, cold and thoroughly fucked off!
I'll do them tomorrow night.
Sorry man. |

i had half hour today to have a good look.
I have an "evaporative canister?" which has two hose's.
one i think i'm right in thinking is the fuel tank return.
the other goes where?
i think it should join up to some kind of "T" piece, is that right?
The metal pipe which runs around the right hand side of the camcover has on it a big fuel hose which has been cut. Does that go straight to the MAP sensor? |

erm sounds that way, a fuel hose is th ewrong hose to use though!
yes it will either go to another port ont he manifold or a T piece which is m,issing if the proper pipe has been swapped for a petrol hose. |
