Housing fixed and temp as normal bit of a squeak coming from the back of engine maybe bit of oil on belt. Will get a new one but I really want to remove the air con pump anyone seen a guide on doing this. I know I will need the non aircon belt but apart from that what will it entail?

While searching the forum I found this which is exactly what has happened to my housing https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?t=22385

Not out of the block but from that area!! I will hold my hands up and say I thought the thermostat was on the other end of the engine below the dizzy

Thanks for the info just had time to have a quick look and the coolant is coming from beneath the alternator as you say DOH. Odd it only does it now and again I presume this is something to do with the thermostat opening? Gave me a right scare when I saw it rolling out of the block thought it...

Coolant tank is warm but engine itself is hot enough to cook a steak on and making all the usual sounds hot engines make (I used to run a metro for my sins which was more or less held together with weekly doses of bars sealant) I really needed the puma to stop-gap between vehicles as I want to...

Hi Puma Fans My puma overheated this morning while going slowly in traffic temp gauge seemed to swing into the red very quickly!! I stopped and found the expansion tank empty!! I have now refilled it and driven a few miles the tank has remained full but the engine is getting really hot!! is...

Put it on the Facebook Puma group page

Wish I could post a piccie how do you do it ??

Thanks Yog but I really need to see what the bolt washer setup is mine seems to loose so think i might be missing a sleeve that passes through the bearing to tighten the whole thing up. Will try the scrap yard maybe a fiesta will have the same sort of setup if they have not got a puma local

Resurrecting an old post but just wonder how you got on with the belt change in the end Simon?

Running without the cambelt cover on would i suppose be un-advisable ????

Yes great idea CherryVimto I am, like many, owners it seems having, difficulty tracking the source of the leak. Rocker cover has been previously suggested and it might be, not much oil in the spark plug area though. I think I will give it all a good clean and de-grease and then replace...

Welcome to the group, from another newbie, what part of the country are you from?

Ok fellow Puma's Got the cam belt cover of pretty oily under there although the belt itself is not to badly effected. It is very shiny but seems to be in fair condition but I am going to replace it just for peace of mind. Stuck with the power steering pump got it away from the block and want to...
