Right, just had a new water pump fitted to my 1.2 8v, the cam belt had to come off to, put it all back 2gether, and now the car is not firing. spark plugs are fine, there is fuel, and its pumping, the cam belt was marked and put on in the same place,

what could it be?

any help, as i have no car to get to work :s

could the timing marks be wrong? if you havent timed it up correctly, you could be 180 degrees out.

did you connect up the Crank Sensor when you finished? check the timing marks again.

Have u tried your spare key,

Fault with the chip inside perhaps. I split open my key once and didnt realise that i lost the chip inside the key

Stupid reply really but worth checking


Sorry didnt realise that you had made repairs

what about an air lock in the water system. If there is no water around the temp sensors then they will not work. Try bleeding the water, or timing is out like vaux-tech said.
