veef Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Morning all, Ongoign saga with my car post aux belt and tensioner fail, need ot get some other opinions on what could be wrong still, I was wondering if anyone in the Southampton area with engine experience (cars a 2zzge but prob isnt an engine model specific prob) would be able to lend an ear to help diagnose and/or anyone know a good mechanic/garage in the local area. Ideally I would want to take it to Se7en, but cant drive it that far at present Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well if i was home id be happy to help as i live in portchester, but im at sea till end of august!! But a good place round me is RE;Worx in portsmouth. they are on a trading estate just on pompey island. Tehy are RX rotary specialist but can race tune anything, and there is normally a few Nobels lying around the workshop. They worked on my MR2 turbo, the V6 and also now my celica. good work and nice and local! Link: http://www.reworx.com/ HTH Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 thanks matt, i do know reworx, mapped my 200sx a while ago... they are a bit far to drive the car as it stands at the moment, but will bear in mind. really coudl do with some local second opinions, gut tells me its water pump, but before i rip it out i wanna get it looked at. thing is car was perfect, no noises etc before the aux belt snapped due to wear and tear and the tensioner failing. that wrapped itself round the PS pump, bending the axle which i have replaced with a refurbed PS pump, but still got a very odd noise under load from 1-3k, soemthing unhappy under strain... so alternator, water pump and or main crank pulley are all thats left... had a thought it maybe the chain, but took out the tensioner that was ok i think, and the chain does have a small amount of play, can move it up and down between the pulleys, but cant see how its linked to the aux belt snapping... any other thoughts and help much appreciated guys n girls... cars off the road, just in time for me 30th lol Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorjack Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Mate of mine, Craig, owns CWF Poulten on Weston Grove Road in Woolston and looks after all my cars. If they're local to you it might be worth dropping by or giving them a call to see if they can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
