Eunos Roadster Mk1 1.6 NA - injector seals replaced and the engine is a lot hotter
Hi all,
Hope you're having a great Bank Hol.
'My baby' is an Eunos Roadster Mk1 1.6 NA.
Can I have some help please - one of the injectors developed a leak, the seals were replaced on all of them, the leak has stopped, but now she smells hot and after journeys when the engine is turned off the engine is hotter than normal and is still really hot to touch two hours later. Taking much longer to cool down. The water in the water resevoir is also getting hot. She's usually cold 30-60 mins after the engine is turned off. Am doing about 11-22 miles a day if am out atm. Longest trip has been to the garage approx 20 miles.
The coolant is correct, levels all good, the fan is working, sensors working, the temp gauge on the dash is less than half way. So have been told it's not the engine over heating as such and something is causing this.
We've also noticed when the key is in the 'on' position there is now an electrical / buzzing noise coming from the location framed in red in the photo - more to the right hand side, or it could be coming from underneath.
Could be coincidental timing ref changing the seals but this hasn't happened before. Any idea what is causing this please as will be good to get a permanent fix and have her back to normal? Don't like the idea of her being overly hot.
The mechanics have been amazing but she has flummoxed them and extra advice will be really appreciated. Am hoping it's a quick fix as not ready to part with her yet.
Having said the above she is driving fine, you wouldn't know there is an issue.
Thank you, Eunosfan
